Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who drives the car on the way to football tryouts?

Answer: Roy Lee

The first time we see Homer, O'Dell and Roy Lee, they are going to football tryouts, we see that Roy Lee is the driver of the car. After football tryouts, we see Roy Lee and Homer pushing the car and O'Dell driving it.
2. When the three boys (Homer, Roy Lee, and O'Dell) are looking at the newspaper that has an article about the new satellite, Sputnik. Roy Lee says "Let 'em have outer space. We got ______." What did they have?

Answer: Rock 'n Roll

Roy Lee leaves after that and so does O'Dell, but Homer stays and finishes looking at the article. Roy Lee said this because he was not particularly interested in outer space. He was talking to Homer, O'Dell, Ike, and the store owner.
3. When Roy Lee is giving Homer dating advice, while everyone else is looking for Sputnik, what movie does Roy Lee tell Homer to take the girl to?

Answer: Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man

He says "Take her to a movie...somethin' scary like 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man'."
Homer doesn't exactly know how to date girls or get girls to like him. Roy Lee thinks that he knows everything about that so he is going to give Homer advice.
4. When Homer decides to build a rocket, what does he use to fuel his first one?

Answer: The Powder from 30 Sky Rockets

Roy Lee and O'Dell ask him how high he thinks it will go. Homer tells them about three or four miles since he has the powder from 30 sky rockets in it. He fires the rocket and what happenes? It blows up the fence.
5. When Miss Riley mentions the science fair, Roy Lee says "Science fairs are for ______." Who are science fairs for?

Answer: Geeks

After he says this he says "No offense, Quentin.", because Quentin entered into the science fair the year before. After Miss Riley mentions the science fair, Homer decides to ask further questions about it, and he ends up wanting to enter it. He eventually does and wins at the National Science Fair.
6. What causes the boys to put the big part of the track back?

Answer: They hear a train coming.

They try to stop the train but then find out that it is going the other way. They feel stupid after that because the train has two ways of going and it goes the other way. They are pulling up pieces of the track because they need money for their rockets.
7. Who says this? "Four unidentifiable high school students lost their lives early this mornin' when their toy rocket exploded."

Answer: O'Dell

O'Dell says this because he knows the Roy Lee's suggestion for gasoline is very dangerous. This is after Roy Lee suggests gasoline as a liquid binder for the rocket. Then Homer suggests alchohol. They eventually get it and they finally make the right propellant for the rocket.
8. What is the name of one of the girls who Homer likes?

Answer: Dorothy

When he is in class one day we see him staring at her. We also see that he is jealous of his brother when he goes to a dance with her. Dorothy is the girl that everyone wants to date. Homer's older brother dates her at one point in the movie.
9. After John has been hurt, the phone in the house starts buzzing. What does Elsie (Mrs. Hickam) do with it?

Answer: Rips the chord out of the wall and throws it out the door

This is done right after Homer says that he will work in the mine. The family is very tense because John might loose his eyesight in one eye. They need some type of income and the only way is if one of the boys goes to the mine. Homer does this because Jim will lose his scholarship if he drops out of school.
10. Why are Homer and Quiten measuring rope lengths?

Answer: They want to find the missing rocket and prove that they were innocent

They are looking for the rocket so they can prove that they did not start that fire. They find the rocket and take it back to school where Homer explains to Mr. Turner how they found their rocket. Then they go the the police station to see the aircraft that started the fire.
