"Young Sheldon" Season 2 Trivia Quiz

After Sheldon takes apart a refrigerator to stop it from making a buzzing sound, his father pays $200 to get it fixed and tells Sheldon that he needs to pay him back. The neighbor mom, Mrs. Sparks, offers Sheldon a job as a paper boy. Despite his mom's fear for his safety, Sheldon takes the job.

The job turns out to be very stressful for him. The episode shows him struggling to move his bike with a heavy wagon full of newspapers attached to it, with an amusingly super-appropriate song playing meanwhile: Foghat's "Slow Ride." Problems he has include dogs, a bird on is bike, not being able to throw very well, getting ink on his hands, and the wind blowing Sheldon's bike downhill against his best efforts. To make matters worse, Mrs. Sparks doesn't pay him very well because he is late every day.

In the end, he asks Billy to do all the work while Sheldon gets the money, and he eventually repays his dad.

Answer: Paige

Paige is about 3 weeks younger than Sheldon and she joins Dr. Sturgis's physics class in the middle of the semester. She is more advanced than Sheldon, and this makes Sheldon jealous. Dr. Sturgis decides to put the kids' parents in contact with each other. Mary then invited Paige and her parents over to to the Coopers' house. The parents hit it off because they have a lot in common. Paige, on the other hand, upsets Sheldon by bashing Professor Proton and infuriates him by beating him at chess. Mee Maw, who is dating Sturgis, tells him not to praise Paige so much in front of Sheldon. Georgie and Missy hang out with Paige's sister and they get along pretty well. Later on, Paige gets along better with Missy than with Sheldon due to similar interests and Paige's desire to be more like a normal kid. Paige's parents fight with each other and eventually get divorced.

Answer: Mary

Sheldon eventually confesses the secret to Tam, and this makes him feel better. He then convinces his dad to tell the secret. George Sr., Georgie Jr., and Mee Maw went to a bar together. Mee Maw got drunk so Georgie Jr. offered to drive home, even though he didn't have a license.

They got pulled over, so Mee Maw switched places with Georgie to protect him from getting in trouble. Mee Maw got a DWI and went to jail and George Sr. bailed him out. Mary tells her husband and son to sleep at Mee Maw's house. Mee Maw gets revenge by calling Mary and telling her that her husband urinated on the church's vegetable garden.

Answer: Sheldon, first test. Missy, second test

The second test is based on perceptiveness. Sheldon gives good answers, but the testing person is unimpressed. Missy aces this test.

These tests prove that Sheldon is brilliant at math, science, accounting, and learning facts, but he struggles at understanding how other people are feeling, while Missy is the opposite.

Missy tells the test person that the reason she is so perceptive is because she had to be because she was neglected, with her dad paying all the attention to Georgie and her mom and grandmother paying all the attention to Sheldon. The parents resolve the situation by giving Missy the choice of restaurant at the end of the episode.

Answer: Carl Sagan

Billy is Superman, Missy is Cyndi Lauper, and Tam is a wizard. Sheldon is Carl Sagan, but only one person recognizes his costume. Little did he know that later in life, Sagan would get a restraining order against him.

Answer: Mee Maw

When Sheldon asks his parents if he can go to a lecture on carbon dating and explains what it is, his dad jokes that they can use carbon dating to find out how old Mee Maw is. At the lecture, when the lecturer asks if Sheldon would like to say anything about carbon dating, he re-tells that joke. This is when he learns that he is funny.

Answer: Tires

Answer: Whether or not dad should accept a promotion

Meanwhile, George Sr. gets offered a job at the University of Tulsa that pays much better than his current job, but would require the family to move. Mary doesn't want to move, because she has her own job at the church and her mom lives across the street. Mary convinces her mom and kids to offer reasons why they don't want to move.

In the end, George Sr. rejects the promotion. This causes Sheldon to be unusually upset when he has to gives his report to the class.
