Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what location does the episode begin?

Answer: holodeck

It seems like Ten Forward, but it is actually a replica on the holodeck. The show also ends on the holodeck, this time a replica of the bridge.

2. What nickname does Wesley give Lt. Barclay?

Answer: Broccoli

One of the funniest scenes is when Picard inadvertantly called Barclay "Broccoli" to his face after warning Riker and Geordi NOT to use the nickname. Data tries to fix the situation, but then just lets it lie. Picard's face is priceless as he realizes his mistake.

3. What character was Troi in the Barclay 15 holodeck program?

Answer: Goddess of Empathy

"I am the Goddess of Empathy. Cast off your inhibitions and embrace love, truth, joy." Quite an insight into Barclay's psyche. And extremely funny too. Troi's first reaction when she saw "herself" was to delete it.

4. What does Barclay like to order in Ten Forward, according to Guinan?

Answer: warm milk

Quite a difference from his character on the holodeck. Guinan just thinks Barclay is shy.

5. Which crew members portray the Three Musketeers in Barclay's holodeck program?

Answer: Picard, Data, Geordi

Wesley was a young kid always eating pie on the holodeck. Riker came in as "Number One", much shorter than real life. Perhaps he was supposed to be D'Artagnan?

6. Who suggested Barclay should talk with Counselor Troi?

Answer: Geordi

Barclay is too nervous to meet with the real Counselor Troi because of his holodeck fantasies. He is so nervous, he stays about two minutes.

7. What relaxation technique does Troi teach Barclay in this episode?

Answer: breathe in through the nose/out through the mouth

Troi teaches Barclay about plexing, tapping nerve cluster behind ear, in "Realm of Fear" to help Barclay overcome his fear of transporters. Standing on your head and drinking water is a great way to get rid of hiccups.

8. Which malfunction did not occur in this episode?

Answer: replicator produced sausages instead of tea

The incident with the sausages happened to Lwaxana in the episode "Cost of Living". The other malfunction in "Hollow Pursuits" involved the molecular change of a glass.

9. To how many substances did the computer narrow the search before Geordi asked for them to be displayed on the screen?

Answer: 5

Jackamite was dismissed because it had a half-life of 15 seconds, they wouldn't have time to spread it around. Selgninaem and lucovexitrin were eliminated from consideration because they are highly toxic. This left satzgadum and invidium. They determined that invidium was used in the medical supplies being transported.

10. How did they rid the injectors of the invidium?

Answer: flooded chamber with gaseous cryonetrium

They needed to reduce the temperature to -200 degrees celcius.
