Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many series did Smart Arty remain on the programme for?

Answer: Seven

The makers of the programme thought that the programme needed a little bit of refreshing, so they replaced him with Minnie The Mini Magician.

2. Daisy Dares You had only one piece of music in her sketches.

Answer: False

She had two pieces, one for the challenge setting called "Pocket Full Of Peanuts" and one for the children actually doing the challenge called "Keyboard Wizard".

3. Have any two characters been played by the same person?

Answer: Yes

Richard Waites played Cuthbert Lilly and Tricky Dicky in the first series but Tricky Dicky was replaced by Daisy Dares You because Richard Waites didn't want to have to play two charcters.

4. For how many series did the issue number stay at issue one?

Answer: One

In series one the star at the top had a one inside it but in the rest of the series the star was blank.

5. Who did Daisy imitate while the camera was going to the Dot To Dot in series 8-9?

Answer: Cuthbert Lilly

Also, while the camera goes to Cuthbert's square he points and laughs at Daisy.

6. Who made the animated titles for series 10?

Answer: Gizmo

When the comic was scrapped it was bought by a farmer in Norfolk for his grandson because he was a "Zzzap!" fan.

7. The human leg was used for a puzzle.

Answer: False

In series 10 it got replaced by a puzzle called Dingbats. Dingbats are different pictures (like Car + A + Van) which can make a word.

8. For how many series was the remote control used?

Answer: Seven

The remote lasted the same amount of time as Smart Arty, because in series 8 instead of the remote bursting through the screen, different comic book words like, "POW" or "Splat" would fly into the screen.

9. There is an animated series of "Zzzap!".

Answer: True

It was made by Tom Channon and Ryan Green. Instead of Smart Arty or Minnie The Mini Magician, they made Handy Sandy: Patent Pending.

10. Complete the sentence: Cuthbert Lilly, He's ____ Silly.

Answer: Dead

In series one, he had the picture where he was in the sketch in a semi-circle frame. In series 2 onwards he had a cartoon drawing of himself putting his thumb up with the caption below him.
