Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is number 61?

Answer: McVries

Garraty is 47, Olson is 70, and Stebbins is 88. McVries and Garraty become good friends during the race and even save each other's lives at different points.

2. Who is the first person to get a warning on the Long Walk?

Answer: Stebbins

Stebbins gets a warning at 9:02 AM on May 1, just two minutes into the Long Walk. Curley is the first to get a ticket, slightly after 11 AM. He develops a charley horse (muscle cramp) and simply can't loosen it up.

3. In which town does Garraty plan on seeing his mother and girlfriend?

Answer: Freeport

The other three towns are much earlier in the Long Walk. Freeport is the closest city to Ray Garraty's hometown of Pownal. Garraty's mother and Jan have passes that allow them to be in the front row. When Garraty sees them, he barely notices his mother and kisses Jan, for which he receives a warning.

4. How many people die during the first twenty four hours of the Long Walk?

Answer: 36

These include Zuck (excessive bleeding after he scraped his knee), Gribble (blue balls), and Larson (fatigue). A record 64 Walkers make it to the second day, breaking the previous record of 63.

5. Who is the odds-on favorite to win at the start of the Long Walk?

Answer: Scramm

His odds to win are 9 to 1 according to Vegas odds makers. Scramm is also the only Walker who is married. Scramm develops pneumonia and sits down to wait for his ticket. Most of the other Walkers agree that the winner will take care of Scramm's wife.

6. What is McVries' ex-girlfriend's name?

Answer: Priscilla

Jan is Garraty's girlfriend. Cathy is Scramm's wife. There is nobody in the story named Meredith. McVries and Priscilla both worked at the Plymouth Sleepware factory. They get into a fight over money, Priscilla leaves him, and McVries becomes depressed. This was a major factor in his joining the Long Walk, since he sees the Walk as a way of committing suicide.

7. Who is shot while trying to sneak into the woods?

Answer: Percy

Percy is also the one who had an overprotective mother that kept trying to find her boy. Percy's mother nearly receives a ticket for interference, but the local police stop her from stepping onto the road.

8. There is a vendor named Dom L'Antio in the story. What does he give to several Walkers every year?

Answer: watermelon

This is against the rules. Walkers are only allowed the food belts that are passed out once a day. They contain meat concentrates, crackers, and cheese.

9. How many boys try to attack the soldiers on the halftrack?

Answer: 2

Both Olson and Parker try to kill the soldiers. Parker actually does kill one, but he is quickly replaced. Both Olson and Parker are shot to death by the soldiers as a result.

10. Which Walker goes insane?

Answer: Tubbins

He starts screaming about the whore of Babylon before he gets his ticket. Tressler gets sunstroke and passes out before he is shot. Quince and Hough simply slowed down too many times. Quince does so right before Barkovitch rips his own throat out. Hough makes it into Massachusetts and finishes in 6th.

11. What does Stebbins claim to be true?

Answer: the Major is his father

Stebbins says the Major has plenty of bastard children. He also claims to be the 'rabbit,' put into the race to make the other Walkers go farther, much like the mechanical rabbit at race tracks.

12. How many Walkers make it to Massachusetts?

Answer: 7

Garraty, McVries, Stebbins, Baker, Fielder, Hough, and Milligan are still walking at this point.

13. What does Garraty promise to do for Baker?

Answer: get him a lead-lined coffin

Baker comes from a family of morticians. He is worried about rats chewing through a pine box and eating his eyes.

14. In what place does McVries finish?

Answer: 3rd

McVries simply sits down and waits for the soldiers to shoot him, leaving just Garraty and Stebbins.

15. How far from Boston is the finish of this year's Long Walk?

Answer: 40 miles

Stebbins collapses in Danvers, leaving Garraty as the last Walker.
