Title: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on July 04, 2007, 02:07:53 PM
I thought if it might be fun if we had a game to play on this site.

The Hardy Boys Trivia Game! ;D

Here are the rules:

1  Ask 1 (ONE) question.  
2  Make sure that the question is from the Hardy Boys canon not fan-fiction, or another series like Nancy Drew.
3  When someone answers the question correctly tell them.
4  The person that answers the question correctly first is the one who asks the next question.
5  If no one answers your question in about two days, give a hint. 

Here's an example:

Which book does Vanessa Bender first appear in?

The correct answer is Casefiles #69 Mayhem in Motion.

Here's my real question:

In the Casefiles what is the name of Fenton Hardy's former partner on the NYPD?

In an early book in the series, the Hardy Boys meet Chris Hardy who claims to be their long-lost brother.  What is Chris' real last name and when did he stay with Laura and Fenton Hardy and why?

So after this just ask 1 question.  Thanks. :)

Sorry about that.  Forget that question.

Here is a new question:

What X-Men makes a crossover in Double Exposure?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on July 06, 2007, 09:51:11 PM
Wild guess: Wolverine? 
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on July 07, 2007, 07:38:08 AM
Not Wolverine.

Here's another clue.  The character (who in Double Exposure is used only as a code name) only appeared in the last movie.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SkyWarp on July 07, 2007, 08:56:24 AM
The Beast?  Wasn't that character in another HB Casefile as well? 
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on July 09, 2007, 05:55:43 PM
The Beast is correct.  As far as I can recall, The Beast only appeared in Double Exposure, or course, he may have been mentioned as someone the Hardy's knew and thought could help in a later volume.

By the way I?ve changed the rules a little bit, originally rule 2 said:
 
QuoteSince this a Casfiles and Undercover Brothers site, make sure that the question is from the Casfiles, Supermysteries, Undercover Brothers or the new Super Mysteries.

Some people were asking Blue Spine questions any way, I didn?t think it was that big of a deal so I just changed it to:

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on January 16, 2008, 06:05:13 PM
So very, very close, but not quite.

Here are the clues so far:
It is something that causes things to shake.
It is something that is in people's homes and they would buy new.
In Highway Robbery, Tony Prito wanted one of these at a cheap price.

New clue:

It contains a radio and Joe couldn't hear Frank in The Genius Thieves because some guys were playing theirs so loud that it was shaking the sidewalk.

he makes a comment about the "blasted bugs" around, which tips off tom since Swift Enterprises is surrounded by vibratory screens keeping it bug-free

Also when the Handbook has revised it's title was changed from ''The Hardy Boys' Detective Handbook'' to ''The Hardy Boys Detective Handbook''.

I'll give you a clue.  All 4 books appeared in the early 1990's.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on August 18, 2008, 11:36:40 AM
Casefiles #64 ''Endangered Species'' and #65 ''No Mercy'', both have a preview of A Hardy Boys and Tom Swift Ultra Thriller ''Time Bomb'', and Casefiles #76 ''Tagged for Terror'' has a preview of ''The Alien Factor'', so I'm guessing #77 ''Survival Run'' does as well.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on August 19, 2008, 07:51:02 AM
You got one of the books that had a teaser.  Tagged For Terror and Survival Run only have a 1-page write-up on The Alien Factor

No, there are still three more books with a multi-page teaser.

And if you notice, I said out of the first 66 books in the Casefiles.  #76 and 77 are outside that hint.

Eight is correct. There are two non-ATAC cases in Graphic Novel #1, and in fact ATAC isn't even mentioned; two in Graphic Novel #7, although the main case is ATAC related; one in Graphic Novel #10, again ATAC-related but not assigned to them by ATAC; in Undercover Brothers #5, the cases are fake ATAC, so there's another one; at the beginning of UB #13, the boys wrap-up a case they stumbled on (the only one of the UB!); and then in ''Wanted'' Frank and Joe are framed, rather then working on an ATAC mission. So there you have it, eight non-ATAC cases, mind you a lot of them are as a result of ATAC (GN #7, UB #5), and those that aren't we just get the tail end of (GN #7, UB #13).

Your turn Tom.

You see it the first 32 books and there revisions Frang always asked for a "pop." Mean while in books 122-138 Frank said lemon lime soda. However in the Casefiles it is root beer. In most of the UBs Frank likes Diet/Cafeen Free soda. Yet in the Clues Brothers Frank is addicted to Monster.

No, its not Cartright. 

And you are right about it being from A Handbook.  And if you can figure which Handbook, then you can probably find out the character.

I guess I really stumped people on that last one.

The answer was Professor Henry from The Hardy Boys Handbook: Seven Stories of Survival.

According to a couple of shirts that the Hardy's own, and use on a case, what is their favorite 80's punk rock group?

Day of the Dinosaur was set at the Bayport Museum. 

I'm thinking it's either The Mummy Case from the Originals, or Sheer Terror from the Casefiles.

Post by: Bigfootman on July 26, 2009, 10:08:23 AM
I'm not surprized you guys have not figured this one out, as it's a trick. From what I know there was no book with that plot in the Hardy boys series. The closest book to this plot was in Day Of The Dinosaur, but the musem is not in Montana. The musem in the mummy case was in New York, I have not read Sheer Terror, but it seems that it takes place in Arizona. I am not sure if Frank and Joe even went to Montana, Nancy Drew has, but I'm not sure if the Hardy Boys have.

As Day Of The Dinosaur is what I based the fake plot off of,  SDLagent gets to make a question.

Ps: I am a little surprized that tomswift2002 did not get this one as he made this very simular question:
"In which Hardy Boys series did Joe attend a computer chess tournament in Chicago?" which was also a trick.

No it doesn't have anything to do with gorilla's.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 22, 2010, 07:27:51 AM
Okay, then I'm probably thinking of the ending line in the book- I seem to recall Joe trading remarks with Phil's cousin about possible game titles and him suggesting something with a gorilla and her telling him she thinks that's been done to death. (Or something along those lines. Maybe it wasn't a gorilla...like I said, it's been a while since I read the book. I'll have to pull it out later to look this one up.) :)

Ok fair enough. The answer I was looking for was 1. Submarine Wreckage 2. Find Alvin Mann.

But here's a new one...and hopefully easier. :)

In Choke Hold, what did Frank say they called themselves?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 06, 2010, 01:29:37 AM
I think they called themselves a lawyer to pursue their lawsuit against Matt and Jeff Hardy for infringing on their name for their wrestling match against Sammy. ;)

Good job, Hardygirl847. Oscar Smuff is a classic Hardy Boys character! ;D I always found his interactions with the Hardys pretty amusing.
I don't remember this particular part of the book right offhand, (though "Danger on the Diamond" is one of my favorites- I think I've probably read this one more than once) so I'll probably have to look it up.
But I'll take a guess anyway- was he caught in the collapse of the bleachers? I do recall that happening in the first chapter, but I can't remember if anyone was seriously hurt in it.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: hardygirl847 on March 05, 2010, 01:29:43 AM
Thanks MacGyver! :) I am just starting to read some of the Originals (gasp, I know!) so I haven't seen too much of Oscar yet. :) The Tower Treasure is our book club/discussion book so I have at least been exposed to the beginning of Mr. Smuff.

I really enjoyed Danger in the Diamond too!!

The bleachers do collapse but that is not why he goes to the hospital. Good memory though! I'm sure you will get it in no time. :)

Spencer, I missed your post somehow!! You were right actually. Sorry I didn't see it earlier. :( Frank gets hit in the head by a baseball and ends up staying overnight with a mild concussion. A sabotaged pitching machine was the culprit.

tomswift, he and Joe both get cut from the glass on the fence but they do not go to the hospital for it. Good memory though!! :)

OK Spencer...you're up to bat! (bad pun, I know).

That's pretty funny, actually. I, the one who hasn't read it, got the right answer and then you don't even see it.

As time has gone on, many of the Hardys' chums have disappeared, to the point where Frank and Joe don't seem to have any friends. Who was the first chum to disappear? And, no, it's not Jerry Gilroy.

I don't remember that much from the book since I last read it when it came out in August 2002 and I haven't had a chance to re-read it.  But I do remember that it was one of the few post-Stratemeyer titles that actually had the Sleuth make an appearance.

Post by: MacGyver on March 13, 2010, 07:45:04 PM
Yeah, Hide-and-Sneak actually talks about The Hardy Boys dragging the Sleuth out of mothballs, so they obviously haven't used it in a while.
And as to the trivia question, you are incredibly close, but #172 is still not the book I'm looking for.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on March 14, 2010, 01:16:42 AM
Yeah, I thought it was cool how they actually acknowledged that the Sleuth hadn't been used in awhile.

It's not "Hidden Mountain" (but that was an awesome book, by the way) and it is in the 170s range.

Maybe you should just ask another question, MacGyver.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on March 15, 2010, 11:01:43 PM
Hmm- okay. I thought someone might have known this.
Well, if not- I'll go ahead and reveal it then.
If you look in Chapter 4 "Questions Without Answers" of #171 "The Test Case"- on page 41, you will see that Frank talks briefly with a student named Jerry! And it specifically identifies this Jerry as an outfielder! Jerry also implies that he knows Frank and Joe personally within their conversation. And Frank says at the end of their coversation that he'll "tell Joe 'hi' for you."
I feel pretty confident this was meant to be a little tribute and cameo appearance for Jerry Gilroy! At long last! :D 8)

All right- let's try this one on for size now.
What character who originated in the Casefiles later crossed over to appear somewhat frequently in the Digests?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on March 16, 2010, 12:05:11 AM
Liz Webling?

BTW, even if it isn't meant to be, that is a pretty cool tribute to Jerry Gilroy.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on March 16, 2010, 01:50:27 PM
Yes, Liz Webling is it. :)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: hardygirl847 on March 16, 2010, 04:30:58 PM
LOL so after DAYS of trying to figure out the Jerry one...the next ? was answered right away. Go Figure. :)

It does sound like it could be a reference to Jerry Gilroy. Cool find!

Nope. Original...and not revised.

I don't think it would be Tom Casey since he didn't appear till The Flickering Torch Mystery

For some reason I think there might've been an Irish cop along the lines of O'Malley.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Tom Casey is who I'M talking about. Con appeared way before Tom but he wasn't really their friend.

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on March 19, 2010, 01:12:27 AM
Yeah, he's a pretty unknown character, probably because he only appeared in two stories (I think). I've only read one of his appearances, his debut, The Flickering Torch Mystery
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on March 19, 2010, 05:27:55 PM
I've never read the 1943 edition of The Flickering Torch Mystery

Next question.

When The Hardy Boys and Biff Hooper are in New York City what "phony" item does Biff acquire? 

(I'm not going to give you the book's title, since that will give it away.  All that I will say is that its from the late part of the Original continuity.)

It's pretty good. Also, not only is it the first appearance of Tom Casey, but also Dick Ames, another little-known recurring character from the 40s. Unlike Tom, he survived the revision process and showed-up in the revised text of The Secret of Skull Mountain.

I can't think of a way in which to even give a hint for this one, so I'll just tell you the answer.  Nancy told Joe that she fed her baguette to the birds.  (The episode is on Disc 2 of the Kaboom! Entertainment DVD set.)

Okay, that was really throwing me off because I really couldn't recall a character named Nancy in The Hardy Boys Casefiles #42 "The Last Laugh"- because that's what I immediately thought of. ;)
I did not realize that this Hardy Boys trivia game was open to things other than the books- if the TV shows and video games and comics are included, that's good to know. Might make use of that at some point... 8)

You were so close to getting it...that I'll give it to you.  It was actually ShE IS ILL not SHE is ILL.  But, think about, back then with Dot Matrix printers (as if the younger people on this site would know what those are) the majority of printed letters and numbers were in the squarish form.  So unless someone actually showed you the sheet right side up, or in this case, actually put it into your hand the right way, you might've thought that you were being shown a mathematical problem or an essay.

lol I realized that later. I was like "oh crap!" but I was typing fast and trying to get somewhere so I made a typo(s). Sorry. :) Thanks for giving it to me though. And yes, I realize that the way it was written would not have been as obvious. However, this is Frank we are talking about who can deactivate bombs and fly planes etc....You would think he would have tried to see it at all angles. hehe

Now I have to think of a question....hmm....

In The Witchmaster's Key, Frank and Joe are searching for clues when they get conked on the head. Where do they wake up?

True,  but at the same time the note was just tacked to a bulletin board, and as I recall, Frank and Joe both thought that it was just a regular note that their friend had written, just like he had written "Type up essay".

Bacon cheeseburgers are the best!  - (I'm pretty sure that's like a direct quote from Joe- I think it may be the first line of "Double Exposure". I have no idea why I would remember that. lol ;D)
But I do agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly! :D

The melted keys from the Hardy's yellow convertible that blew up in Dead On Target (and which, strangely, if I recall correctly, made their last appearance in Shock Waves in March 1989).
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on May 02, 2010, 10:03:49 PM
You're right tomswift2002- it was the melted keys (rather than coins ;)), I was thinking of.
And I remember thinking it was pretty cool that it was mentioned in the Supermystery (88) title "Shock Waves". Obviously, that series is set in the Casefiles universe where the Gray Man and The Network and The Assassins make appearances and Nancy Drew apparently has knowledge of The Network. (Does anyone know if she ever works with The Network in The Nancy Drew Files? Seems like they would've recruited her too.) She does essentially work with The Network somewhat in "Operation: Titantic" as she's helping Frank and Joe with their case. Just like in the Supermystery (07) titles, Nancy Drew has knowledge of ATAC. (Again, does anyone know if she is mentioned as working with ATAC in the Girl Detective books?)

And I remember thinking it was pretty cool that it was mentioned in the Supermystery (88) title "Shock Waves". Obviously, that series is set in the Casefiles universe where the Gray Man and The Network and The Assassins make appearances and Nancy Drew apparently has knowledge of The Network. (Does anyone know if she ever works with The Network in The Nancy Drew Files? Seems like they would've recruited her too.) She does essentially work with The Network somewhat in "Operation: Titantic" as she's helping Frank and Joe with their case. Just like in the Supermystery (07) titles, Nancy Drew has knowledge of ATAC. (Again, does anyone know if she is mentioned as working with ATAC in the Girl Detective books?)

I think that's one of the main differences between the Hardys and Nancy. The Hardys often work undercover and for the government (The Network, ATAC, the Justice Department, or even SKOOL), Nancy, on the other hand, seems to like to work with a client and help the people effected by the case on a personal level. She even said something about this in one of the new Drew/Hardy crossovers...

Okay- cool. Good to know. To be fair though, Frank and Joe certainly get involved in cases on a personal level too (as the original version of "The Tower Treasure" clearly demonstrated.) But yeah- I can see that Frank and Joe tend to get recruited and work with the government agencies more than Nancy. I guess her main dealings with any authorities is Chief McGinnis at the River Heights Police Department. :)

Nancy should be glad that she's not in the ATAC. I'm not a huge fan of it. I love the Network because the Assassins come part of that package. I just don't see Nancy in those type of situations as much. To be honest, I haven't read Nancy by herself. She's always with my hunky Hardys. lol So I really don't know if she would get in those types of scenarios. And I agree that the Hardys help people on a personal level all the time but not exclusively.

You got it right.  Simon & Schuster was reprinting Digest titles at the time and someone mistakenly thought that Dead On Target (Casefiles #1, 1987) and Illegal Procedure (Casefiles #95, 1995) were Digest titles (S&S was reprinting some of the late 90's/early 2000's Minstrel titles in the "New" Aladdin format).  Both error printings were limited to 3000 copies each, with Dead On Target being declared "Out Of Print" by September 2004, while Illegal Procedure went out of print sometime after  May 2006, but before December 31, 2007.

Also Illegal Procedure's error printing is the 2nd printing for the title, so, aside from putting it next to another Casefile and seeing if it is taller, the only way that you can tell whether you have the regular Archway version or the 2002 error printing is to look on the copyright page and see what printing the copyright page says.  Otherwise all the ads are the same and the Publisher is listed as Archway paperbacks.

The Dead On Target 2002 error printing is easier to pick out, since it was actually published under Simon & Schuster's Simon Pulse imprint, so there is a different logo on the spine for the publishing company.  Plus the copyright page is laid out differently from the regular Archway's.  And the book is taller than the regular Casefiles.  Otherwise the ads are the same.

Frank actually quotes the Boy Scout motto ("Be prepared"- which incidentally, MacGyver quotes this as well in the 1st. Season episode "The Guantlet"- whereupon he also mentions that he himself was a Boy Scout as a kid. 8)) in The Hardy Boys Digests #160 "A Game Called Chaos". Joe then calls Frank "such a Boy Scout". :D

Well, he was only referred to as "Smuff" in the one book in which he had this job. So, theoretically this could be a different Smuff, but how many Smuffs do you know?

I'll admit I know nine (Hugibert, Falconer, Tennyson, Asgard, Isachar, Asghar, Usakirana, Oscard, Oszl?r, and Rob). But there's only ever been one Smuff in The Hardy Boys.

Well with the original texts you have stories that are anywhere from 22 to 25 chapters long, with about 220 pages, which is far more room than a 160-170 page book with 20 chapters.

Plus, you haven't read a Hardy Boys book until you've read the Canadian editions by Leslie McFarlane.  (Especially his version of The Melted Coins.)

You were technically correct in the year of the first book series featuring Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, that of course being Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys Supermysteries (1988) series. But their first literary meeting came in 1980 with the advent of the Super Sleuths books. (Unless you want to count some mini booklets that came with select cereal boxes in 1978 I believe, at the height of the popularity of the 1970s show.) And of course, this is where their first meeting takes places- in the "The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula" 2-part Season 2 premiere episode of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, which first aired in 1977.
And that's why I said this was kind of a trick question. ;)

Okay- next up....

He appeared in Mystery Of The Vanishing Plastics, and I had completely forgotten about him.  My copy is currently packed away (we are moving in a month), so I can't check it, but I think that it might be Fred Collig.

I might still have a copy of that. Have to check. Good question MacGyver.

Post by: MacGyver on August 30, 2010, 08:56:47 PM
thanks- yeah, I know it's kind of random, but I figured that made it a bit challenging. And I can tell you that tomswift2002 has it halfway right. His last name is Collig- but his first name isn't Fred. Kinda close though, in terms of length of the name. Yes, tomswift2002 is very close. ;D
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on August 31, 2010, 11:18:17 PM
Come to think of it, I think tomswift2002 got Collig's nephew with Chet's cousin, Fred Morton. Wait, maybe that was Bill Morton. I am very tired right now.

Thanks for the spoiler!  I still haven't received my copy of GN #20, since I got an email over a week ago saying that it had shipped, but then my local Coles told me yesterday that there are delays with the majority of the orders coming in from the warehouse for some reason.  So I'm currently waiting on that one to arrive, along with SF #3.

Which of The Hardy Boys books is the only one to get an adaptation that's at least fairly close to the book on more than one television show?
(Note: There could possibly technically be up to two answers for this, though I would say one is of indeterminable measure.)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 11, 2010, 01:56:10 PM
The only one that I can think of is The Clue Of The Screeching Owl.  Although that was only on the 70's TV series.  I can't think of any story that was made for 2 of the TV series.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

QuoteThe only one that I can think of is The Clue Of The Screeching Owl.  Although that was only on the 70's TV series.  I can't think of any story that was made for 2 of the TV series.
tomswift2002 got it. The Clue of the Screeching Owl is the book I was thinking of. There was a version of this book on the 1970s The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and on the 1969 The Hardy Boys cartoon. (According to episode guides online anyway. http://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Filmation_Associates/H-R/The_Hardy_Boys/)
I was also thinking of The Tower Treasure since we know that The Mickey Mouse Club did "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure" serial as an adaptation of that book and it's possible that the first episode of The Hardy Boys cartoon was an adaptation as well, but that's just conjecture until someone can get an official episode guide from Filmation or something.
Anyway- yeah, that one was hard, so good job on getting it! :D
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 11, 2010, 03:39:13 PM
Unfortunately lists for the Animated series are rather incomplete, seeing as the cartoon hasn't been on TV for close to 30 years, and no one is sure where the rights are.

In which Hardy Boys episode does a Shaun Cassidy LP make an appearance?

"A Perfect Stranger"? (total guess here- I'd have to go back and look at the episodes, but I know what scene you're talking about. I just can't remember which episode it's on. But it was really cool when they did that. 8))
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 22, 2010, 06:35:44 PM
Here's a clue:  the LP doesn't appear till the 95 series.

Post by: hardygirl847 on October 24, 2010, 12:18:26 PM

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 25, 2010, 06:07:01 PM
Yeah- I know it's on the 1995 series- I just can't remember which episode. One day I might actually have some time and watch these again. But I did enjoy this version of The Hardy Boys well enough when it was on the air and when I watched through the whole series after getting them on DVD.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: hardygirl847 on October 26, 2010, 01:32:14 AM
I have to watch them again to decide how much I liked them or not. I just haven't had time. I should have a Hardy Boys Day or something soon. lol :)

No answer yet for this trivia question??  Was it the A Perfect Stranger episode?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 27, 2010, 07:34:53 AM
Okay, I finally went back and looked through the episodes and after watching "A Perfect Stranger" again- I can tell you, it's not that episode. The episode in question is "Jazzman".

I think it would be funny if a Shaun Cassidy song shows-up in the new TV series. Maybe one of the boys turns on a radio and it's playing. And Joe says, "Aw, man. Turn that off! I can't stand Shuan Cassidy!"
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 27, 2010, 07:22:19 PM

Okay, so yeah it is- and I can do that if needs be. Let's get a couple guesses at least, and I'll put up a hint a few posts down the road. ;)

Yeah- Captain Santa Claus is the winner. I was indeed thinking of #161 Training for Trouble
I remember first reading this when it came out some years ago and noticing that not only was there a totally different cover design, but there was also only 14 chapters. I think this is the lowest amount of chapters I've ever seen in a Hardy Boys book. [Though the page count was actually still about the normal amount I normally see in the Digests (from Revenge of the Desert Phantom forward, that is)- somewhere around 150 pages or so.] I don't know if any of the Undercover Brothers books have gone any lower on chapter counts than that offhand. But that's the first Hardy Boys book to have less than 15 chapters to the best of my knowledge (and that's within a series.) Captain Santa Claus also pointed out a neat technicality earlier with The Hardy Boys Detective Handbook that I hadn't even thought of. So anyway- nice job and challenge away. :) 8)

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on November 08, 2010, 03:33:58 PM
Yeah, it's pretty good. I didn't see this one in time and perhaps it's just as well because I probably would've bowed out anyway. I knew this one only because I've got a copy of the book. I read it a while back and I enjoyed the short stories pretty well. If you're familiar with the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys: Super Sleuths! books, it's a pretty similar format. Obviously, in keeping with the spirit of Camp Fire, Inc., most all (if not all) of the stories are set on camping expeditions in the great outdoors. And Frank, Joe and Nancy are essentially camp counselors throughout the stories, if I remember correctly. And they all do have short story form mysteries to solve, generally with one of the organization's principles and philosophies imbued in the story to some degree. (It's not like it's an overarching thing, but they do usually talk some about it somewhere.) For anyone who likes The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew crossovers outside of the Supermysteries '88 series and Casefiles universe- all three of these books- Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: Campfire Stories and Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys: Super Sleuths! and Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys: Super Sleuths! 2 offer some fun crossover stories set in the original continuity and for the Super Sleuths books anyway, feature the trio solving mysteries in both Bayport and River Heights, with additional supporting characters showing up at times too. The first Super Sleuths book also features "The Secret of Mountaintop Inn", originally published as "Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Solve a Christmas Mystery" in the December 16, 1980 issue of Family Circle magazine. So it's fun for huge Christmas fans like me just for that. :D  (I'm pretty sure the Camp Fire Stories book also features a winter festival in one of the stories, but I'm not sure if Christmas is specifically mentioned.)

Well, when I first read about this book, "Camp Fire, Inc." stuck in my head because I thought it was a odd name.

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on November 11, 2010, 08:43:57 PM
Captain Santa Claus has got it. Fenton Hardy has made an appearance in Disney's The Hardy Boys serials on The Mickey Mouse Club, on the 1967 pilot TV-movie The Mystery of the Chinese Junk, the 1969-1971 The Hardy Boys cartoon, the 1977-1979 The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and the 1995 The Hardy Boys show.
I was thinking of doing Chet Morton too though, by limiting it just to the Hardys' friends- he would certainly be the winner there, showing up in the 1967 pilot, the cartoon, the '70s show and the '90s show. (Though it was only guest appearances for both Fenton Hardy and Chet Morton on the '90s show- but at least they were there at some point.)

AlwaysAJoeFan got it first. It is Massachusetts!
I would actually be interested to know which of The Hardy Boys Casefiles states this.
I was actually thinking of an episode of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries - in "The House on Possessed Hill", Fenton Hardy specifically says that there's never been an earthquake in Bayport, Massachusetts.
Well- good job, then! That round was quick. Next up. 8)

Bayport is also located in New York and New Jersey. The Casefiles say the former, the UB the latter.

Bayport is also located in New York and New Jersey. The Casefiles say the former, the UB the latter.

Bayport Buccanneers has Bayport in New Jersey, while Hurricane Joe says that its in New York, so the UB's have Bayport being in both States.

And the Casefiles have Bayport in New York State, while the Original Continuity (1927-2005) tends to be rather vague about where Bayport is, except that it is close to New York City.

But Massachusetts was also mentioned in Acapulco Spies, when Fenton makes the phone call just after the titles.  Fenton's making a collect call and the operator asks him to where, and he replies "Bayport, Massachusetts".  (The state with the worst name to spell.)

Bayport is definitely mentioned being in different locations. It's also near a bay. I always envision it being near New York City. They go there quite a bit and within a day. Although I guess you can get anywhere in an airplane. Usually they drive or take a train though.

There's no time limit but we are always excited to see the new question...so don't take 50 million years. :) Please.

But some Canadians are confused about our government. Lots of Canadians think that the Prime Minister is the head-of-state when the Queen of Canada (represented by the Governor General) actually is. The Prime Minister is the head of government.

It's about Canada, a cold and savage land to the north of that great and civilized nation, the United States of America. They're so out of it they still have a monarchy! God bless America and Supreme Leader Obama!

Ha. I heard that some Americans are actually moving to Australia 'cause they hate Obama so much. But Australia is already full (I think) so what's wrong with coming up here? Not that I'm giving an invitation.

Just kidding. Get back to the game, everyone.

I think Australia's pretty sparsely populated still. They have a smaller population than us and like us much of the country is largely unpopulated. Here it's the Canadian Arctic, there it's the Australian Outback.

All right- you've sold me. Let's go to Canada! :D 8)
Oh, Canada! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75OAD_pDcJ4)
(Props to anyone who actually is familiar with this and can remember when it was first released.)
And in all seriousness, though I'm not planning on moving anywhere unless God sends me somewhere, I love Canada. There are a lot of cool things there- like the Canadian James Naismith who invented basketball, and the beautiful Canadian mountains and woods, and ice hockey, William Shatner and Michael J. Fox and Matt Thiessen (lead singer for Relient K) are from there, and of course, The Red Green Show and The Littlest Hobo and Danger Bay. And a lot of MacGyver was filmed in Vancouver and used Canadian actors and actresses. And there are a lot more things of course- particularly some folks I know there and all the cool Canadian people on this forum of course. :)
Of course, I love all countries for that matter. I like to think they all have their own beauty in their own way- and all people in those countries are beautiful in their own way too. That's how God made them. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) 8)

Olivia, I didn't know you were from Canada too? Cool.

I have nothing against Canada but I am a proud American. I actually do like Obama and I could get onto a huge discussion about it...but I won't. I really like all of you and don't want to turn our fun HB forum into a political debate.

However, I do feel like hijacking this trivia question to ask one myself...while we wait for AlwaysaJoeFan or whomever is next...

Dixon's?

And to be clear, I've got nothing against Obama. I was mocking the position (of President) more than the man. I don't know what people expected from him. He hasn't worked any miracles to fix the US economy yet and that makes people mad I guess.

That's cool. I like some things Obama has done but I definitely don't like everything he's done so far. (But this is true of most every president really.) And I really get tired of the near-Messianic comparisons people seem to make. The government can do all they can, but he's still just a man. I pray for him and the government as Romans 13 instructs, but ultimately I trust and hold to God over government.
       But as hardygirl847 said- this could lead into a political discussion that would probably be best left in the Off-topic forum, but I've said all I want to say on it right now anyway.

And to the question at hand, I think it's technically F.W. Dixon's, but SDLagent pretty much got it there.

Thanks Spencer and Mac for clarification. People expect Obama to fix everything. There were even people interviewed (back when he was first elected) that would say things that made him seem like he was power to do anything. Some of it was ridiculous. He is just a man, and I at least commend him for trying to take such a sad case and turn it into something better. But enough of that...back to the question...

My answer was F.W. Dixon's. Mac and Spencer got it right. Sorry AlwaysaJoeFan! I shall have to go back quite a ways to see your question. :/

Here's his question...it was WAY back there. lol

In Genius Thieves, what does Mr. Castigan teach?

Yup :)

I was kind of exaggerating and joking around a bit. Sometimes it happens since we've had discussions and jokes about Canada and the U.S. before.

I agree, I don't think we should get into politics either (or not too far into it, anyway). I should have known that my comment wouldn't have stopped at just SDLagent and me. Hope it wasn't taken too seriously. If anything ever sounds "off", I really don't mean it that way.

Here's a clue:

Buster Buckles was working in film in the era when this type of film was used, but it is no longer used.

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on December 30, 2010, 05:09:21 PM

Okay, another clue.

The type of film that Buster Buckles used and was storing is a comparable analog to highly acidic paper being used in books.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: hardygirl847 on January 03, 2011, 10:32:48 PM
Buster liked silent films and the film had nitrate or something in it that made it um...well...bad. Don't want to give out any spoilers. I can't think of the actual name of it though.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 04, 2011, 09:06:56 AM
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about, but I can't recall the name right now either. I'd have to look it up later sometime...
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on January 07, 2011, 04:54:55 PM
The Shattered Helmet Chapter 13 page 113

Inside lay the old nitrate celluloid, its pungent smell rising from the tins.

Hardygirl, you got it.  Buster Buckles was working in the film era when Nitrocellulose, or nitrate film, was being used  Unfortunately, because the film was highly unstable, a lot of movie houses were burnt to the ground from the film catching on fire inside the projector, and a number of "room temperature" storage facilities also blew up, which led to the remaining nitrate films being stored in "cold storage", not to mention that "cold storage" also helped to prevent the nitrate from decomposing very quickly.  And nitrate film was also the reason why acetate and cellulose triacetate film were invented (and in the late 1980's the current film base of Polyethelene Terephthalate or PET, which is Polyester based, but this is mostly used for post-production and release prints not for filming) in order to preserve film longer and safer.

I know that rare coins have come up in a couple of Hardy Boys books. I'm pretty sure you're not talking about The Vanishing Thieves. I guess I can state the obvious here. Is this coin perhaps one of The Melted Coins? (in either the original or revised text)?

It's from the original text of The Melted Coins.

What is the name of "Mr. Spanish's" coin?

That's okay. If you can track down a copy of the original text of The Melted Coins (maybe at your library)- you can find this answer.

No.  (Does no one have a copy at home?  I realize that the book wasn't reprinted by Applewood, but it was out till 1970, so there are tons of copies at used bookstores in both DJ, even without the DJ, and PC form.  Or even in a library?)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 21, 2011, 01:44:44 PM
Unfortunately, The Melted Coins is one of the original text books I do not have yet. It's possible I could find it at a library- but if it hasn't been reprinted by Applewood, then I'm doubtful that the library would have it. Although I do run across quite a few original text books every so often at various used book stores and antique stores and such. But it's getting to the point where you may just want to call it because it doesn't look like anyone's coming up with this answer anytime soon.

No.

And, okay, wow, for one that I thought someone would get right away, it sure turned out to be Hard Question #2 in a row.  The answer was a "Dona Luisa" (sorry I don't have a key on my keyboard to do the squiggle line over the "n" in Dona)

Anyway, here's a new question (which I hope is easier).

Within the first 30 pages of Danger On The Diamond, which previous case is referenced by name?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Sorry Trevor!!!

But this one I know for sure!! I LOVED this book! Frank gets knocked out with a baseball for crying out loud! :)

Desert Phantom is my final answer.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 21, 2011, 09:33:03 PM
I think it's actually Revenge of the Desert Phantom, #84 in The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories. ;)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: hardygirl847 on February 22, 2011, 11:57:09 AM
Mac, yes that is the whole name. However, it is referred to (in the book) as Desert Phantom. It can be found on page 17. :)

"The van had been given to  Frank and Joe by Chief Collig after the y had solved the Desert Phantom Case." It's a blue police van...which reminds me a little of their high tech black van from the Casefiles.

I guess it depends on how picking Tomswift is about the answer. ;)

Post by: tomswift2002 on February 22, 2011, 05:36:27 PM

Sorry- I can't resist on these things. I'm a huge fan of my '80s sitcoms- mainly the shows I grew up with as a child- I still love watching them in reruns today- and I generally are better up on them than most current shows- lol ;D

Let's see- other possibilities- Hazel, Alice, Mrs. Garrett, Adelaide, Pearl, Mr. Belvedere, Geoffrey, Nell, Florence, Karen, and of course- Charles! ;D

Okay- for real, it's "Elizabeth or sometimes just Eliza."

Mac,

That's cool. I haven't seen that on reruns in years though. :)

Sorry your names were not correct.

Tomswift...you got it.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 24, 2011, 11:59:26 PM
Ah- okay. I was kidding around with that list of names- but I was serious on that last one. And technically it is correct too, but I'll concede to tomswift2002 on this.
[Although being a TV fan in general, I couldn't resist throwing out some other famous TV housekeepers, after getting the ball rolling with Tony Micelli on Who's The Boss? ;D)
For the record- the others were- Hazel (from Hazel), Alice (from The Brady Bunch), Mrs. Garrett (from Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life- though she was only a housekeeper on the first show), Adelaide and Pearl (both of these ladies were the later housekeepers on Diff'rent Strokes after Mrs. Garrett went to work at Eastland), Mr. Belvedere (from Mr. Belvedere), Geoffrey (from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Nell (from Gimme A Break!), Florence (from The Jeffersons and the short-lived spin-off, Checking In- though she wasn't a housekeeper on that show), Karen (from a couple of classic Season 3 episodes of Family Ties), and of course- Charles! (My good friend Charles from Charles in Charge of course.) ;D 8)]


Anyway- back to the question at hand. "Elizabeth or sometimes just Eliza" was a serious answer though and it was a direct quote from page 30 of Night of the Werewolf- however, I forgot that I have a later Minstrel printing of the book. In the original Wanderer printing, the housekeeper is called Pocahontas and in both she is identified as half Mohawk Indian. Apparently, the name was changed to Elizabeth in later printings, due to people complained about Pocahontas being offensive- I guess a racial stereotype or something along those lines. Anyway- I was thrown for a while on that until I remembered reading this on The Hardy Boys wiki and there you go.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on February 25, 2011, 08:47:49 PM
I actually thought that you'd call it a tie, since the 2005 Grosset & Dunlap version uses the original Wanderer (1979-1986) text (Pocahontas), but the Minstrel texts all use the altered text (Elizabeth, 1987-1996, or whenever the Minstrel book hit the out of print lists).

Anyway, trivia question.

Which Uncle of Callie's is in an industry that deals with trees?

Okay- I was actually wondering about that. Thanks for the clarification.

Post by: MacGyver on March 01, 2011, 12:58:13 AM
Well, when I first saw the question I immediately thought of Adam Shaw in Pure Evil, who also works in an industry that deals with trees because he harvest maple syrup from them. Though technically, the book says Adam is Callie's great-uncle.
Judging by the number of smilies on Tom's last post- I'm guessing he set this up as a trick question. ;)

Macgyver got it by recognizing it as a trick question.  Callie actually has 2 uncles that work in industries that deal with trees.  Her uncle Stan (#60) is an environmentalist trying to protect trees, while her Great-Uncle Adam (#97) makes maple syrup.

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on March 07, 2011, 01:40:16 PM
I suppose that's the problem with these kinds of questions. Since there are so many of The Hardy Boys books and different series- and different writers at different times have written different scenarios that don't always stay in one single continuity, it's easy to see how I might have one answer in mind but it could easily spiral from there into a lot of other possibilities. (I don't think there are that many other possibilities in this case, although admittedly I can think of some other possible choices.) But hopefully this will help bridge the gaps in this mystery for you. ;)

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Hi MacGyver! :) (I love that show, too, btw) And I agree about how cool The Mystery of the Spiral Bridge is and with the friends helping. One of my favorites as well with all of the great action and drama in it! 8)

Thanks for the welcome!  :) I enjoy reading the Hardy Boys books and I'm guessing that's a common theme here.  ;)

Next trivia question: What book is the Valiant in?

Hi hardygirl847!  :) Thanks!  ;D

Since no one has made any guesses for the question here's a clue: Caribbean  :)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on March 16, 2011, 12:56:49 AM
Okay- I was thinking The Valiant sounded familiar, but mainly because it's the name of a cool Star Trek: The Next Generation novel by Michael Jan Friedman. ;)

But anyway- after that clue, I'm thinking maybe The Caribbean Cruise Caper? :D

Just post a new question from any of The Hardy Boys books or even TV shows or comic books or video games if you want. I think the field is pretty wide open as long as it's related to The Hardy Boys in some fashion or another (in an official canon basis, that is.  -i.e. Fanfiction stories would not be an open choice, but everything officially published and related to The Hardy Boys should be fair game.)

Well, Mattie got the answer then- it was The Mystery at Devil's Paw - and as tomswift2002 said, it was dedicated to the boys and girls of Alaska only in the original text printing because it was printed in the same year Alaska was added as the 49th. state to the United States of America- 1959.
Technically, I feel like I should give this to SDLAgent because he came up with the right title a while back- but then again, technically he hadn't offered it as a guess. So I guess Mattie can go ahead and do the next one. :)

Janet Hardy
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on September 12, 2011, 10:11:39 AM
(Technically this could also have been Gertrude as either she or Janet would be the "other aunt" comparatively ;))
But yes- I was mainly going for Janet Hardy, as named in "The Secret of Mountaintop Inn", the short story contained within Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys: Supersleuths!
I was looking at this the other day and trying to figure out the family tree- I assume Janet is Fenton's sister-in-law, thus he must have a brother. [It seems highly unlikely Laura's maiden name would have also been Hardy, though I suppose it is possible.]
My next trivia question would be then- who are Karen Young's parents and what's her connection to Frank and Joe precisely? (Though perhaps this is making too much out of a short story that probably isn't exactly considered canon by most...)

Biff's dog was Sherlock. And Chet had two dogs. I can't remember the Hardys' dog!
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 20, 2011, 10:31:17 PM
Yep, I knew about Biff's dog- didn't realize Chet had two dogs, though I'm not surprised since he lived on a farm. I'm sure one of the books must have mentioned that somewhere... But yeah, at some point in The Hardy Boys' history, they do have a dog. This one I feel is going to be pretty tricky but you can get it. ;)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: SDLagent on October 21, 2011, 01:36:30 AM
I don't know if Chet ever had two dogs at the same time but he had one and got a new on in Screeching Owl.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 22, 2011, 10:55:40 PM
Okay- I do remember him having a dog in The Clue of the Screeching Owl now. It was even mentioned in The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries episode version of that book, "The Mystery of Witches' Hollow", as Fenton is seen having a time of having to dogsit for Chet's dog. :)
Anyway, keep looking for the answer- I'm sure you'll see it somewhere soon enough.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

I'd forgotten that about "The Mystery of Witches' Hollow". In the book, he bought the dog in the Witches' Hollow area though.

Hmm-not the one I was thinking of actually- wasn't even aware of that one, but I'm not surprised, especially given the title and the nature of the series, that The Hardys were shown having a dog somewhere in The Hardy Boys: Clues Brothers series.
So I'll give you that one on a technicality, but there is another dog mentioned and it's in more of the normal Hardy Boys continuity. (i.e. Frank and Joe are both 18 and 17, respectively- at least I would view it that way.)

So did anyone ever figure out the dog I was thinking of? It may take you a minute as it's kind of a small thing but he does play a fairly important role in one Hardy Boys adventure- and it's quite a sight to see!
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

I would have to check both books... I'm beginning to realize there probably have been a good number of one-time references to dogs with The Hardy Boys.... I've been trying to give subtle hints, but perhaps I should just come right out and say it- the one I'm looking for is not in the books as far as I know
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Post by: MacGyver on November 24, 2011, 07:09:07 PM
Yeah- this one is kind of unfair since it's a hard-to-find appearance- so I'll just go ahead and say it- I was thinking of Tiny, who appears in the 1967 pilot The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Chinese Junk- but since you got the dog from the Clues Brothers book that I wasn't even aware of earlier, I'll give it to you.

Post by: MacGyver on November 25, 2011, 08:49:34 PM
it was a pretty minor thing- the dog briefly showed up when The Hardys first go home and Aunt Gertrude greets them at the door with her doctor friend- and then later on Tiny helps keep the criminals at bay at the end of the pilot...

A music format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-track_tape) that was popular back in the '70s. It became something of a joke later on with the introduction of cassette tapes...
Somehow as a kid I was never aware of these until years later... I had LPs and cassette tapes (and much later CDs) but never 8 track tapes. Of course, now I can find them all the time at thrift stores. ;D
A friend of mine who works on older cars once found a working 8 track player in a vehicle and told me he was able to keep the player and so he set it up in his truck to listen to some of his old classic albums. That's pretty cool- I like older technology. :)

No, it wasn't a firecracker.  Boy, this was a tough one, although it was from Murder On The Fourth Of July.  But the gift that Frank gave Bess was a "Save The Orca's" T-Shirt.

No, it wasn't a firecracker.  Boy, this was a tough one, although it was from Murder On The Fourth Of July.  But the gift that Frank gave Bess was a "Save The Orca's" T-Shirt.

Okay, here's (I hope) and easier question:

What color was the gas that came out of the bad guy's car in The Disappearing Floor?
Gray?

The Hidden Harbor Mystery

I'll give it too you, since in Norway the Original Text and the Revised Text were issued as two seperate stories and the original was not taken out of print (hence, when you look at Norwegian lists, you'll see that the Norwegian title for #14 The Hidden Harbor Mystery (Siste stikk til Hardyguttene/Last trick to the Hardy Boys ) is the original, but #51 The Hidden Harbor Mystery ('Hardyguttene i farligg farvann' /'The Hardy Boys In Dangerous Waters').

I haven't read and don't have the two Tom Swift books and I only have a few of the Super Mysteries and haven't read many. Since your trivia question talked about French, it might mean they're in France, or maybe not, but, I know the titles of the Super Mysteries, and although I don't have this particular title, I'm wondering if maybe the answer is in the book The Paris Connection?

When I first saw this question, I immediately thought of Evil, Inc., since that book is set in France as well. But when tomswift2002 mentioned that it was "sort of" from the Casefiles, then I started thinking the 1990s show, which also had some episodes set in France. And I'm pretty sure I recall the scene he's talking about. However, I don't recall what Frank's comparison was right now... if and when I get a chance, I can pull out my DVD set at home and check though.... :) 8)

Yay for reviving an old thread! I finally remembered to sit down and watch through this episode- Frank's comparison to Joe expecting every French person to carry a French baguette is "like expecting every American to be packing a gun."

Pocahontas/Elizabeth. (Night Of The Werewolf).
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on September 20, 2013, 03:02:17 PM
Yes, that is correct. Good job. :) 8)

(I have both a Wanderer and Minstrel printing of Night of the Werewolf- Pocahontas is originally used in the Wanderer printing and then it's changed to Elizabeth in the Minstrel printing. I'm not sure why Pocahontas would be a discriminatory or offensive name somehow to use for a Native American character- but apparently someone thought it was an issue and decided to change it for the Minstrel version...)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on September 21, 2013, 02:34:41 PM
The Grosset & Dunlap reissue used the original Wanderer text, so the character's name was Pochahontas in the recent editions.

At school, what was Tony Prito falsely accused of?

Well, considering that the G&D version also used the internal pictures from the Wanderer edition, I think it was probably easier for them to reuse the Wanderer printing plates rather than retype setting the books. (Especially since the Minstrel plates would've Ben type set for no pictures.)

Aha! I thought so. First Day, Worst Day is one of the few of The Clues Brothers books that I have. I read it a while back and vaguely recalled that. One of these days I might invest in getting the whole series for both The Clues Brothers and Secret Files, but I just haven't really felt the need. I'd rather keep up with the Hardy Boys Adventures series at this point... (But I do have some books from both series, just for the sake of completion and having at least some from each series.)

Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 29, 2013, 09:48:04 PM
It's at the top of smugglers tunnels that lead down to Barmet Bay, and Collig needed the Coast Guard to cut off the lower part of the criminal's base that could only be accessed by water.

You're definitely thinking of the right book and about the tunnels and the need for the Coast Guard, but Captain Ryder isn't with the Coast Guard, so it's a different reason about that for the answer to the trivia question. :)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 30, 2013, 05:56:55 PM
Is Captain Ryder with the state police, and Collig needed them because part of the property was in Bayport, and under his jurisdiction, while the other part was under state jurisdiction?

Yep, he is. :)  Here are the exact details from House on the Cliff:

Quote from: House on the Cliff by Franklin W. Dixon"Of course you realize that the area where the Pollitt house is located is outside the limits of Bayport, so my men can't go there. But I'll get in touch with Captain Ryder of the State Police at once, so he can assign men to the case."

At the time of the imprint change, another trait of the published series was also changed.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on October 30, 2014, 02:55:19 PM
Okay.....I must admit I'm a bit stumped on this. I keep thinking of the later rerelease of some of The Hardy Boys Casefiles, particularly #95 Illegal Procedure, which was slightly taller than the usual Casefiles and according to Amazon's listing (http://www.amazon.com/Illegal-Procedure-Hardy-Boys-Casefiles/dp/0671882066/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414698680&sr=8-1&keywords=%22Illegal+Procedure%22+%2B+Hardy+Boys), it was apparently under Aladdin. (Not that I trust Amazon to always be accurate in all its listings...)

If that isn't what you're talking about, then I guess maybe- Grey Castle?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 30, 2014, 05:16:22 PM
No, Grey Castle was an independent licensee and was not owned by Simon & Schuster (unlike Archway and Aladdin).  Aladdin also is not correct.  Although, "Illegal Procedure" is a clue.

Yeah, Simon Pulse was the answer and only one book was published under the imprint: Dead On Target.  It was published in 2002 by accident, along with Illegal Procedure as someone at Simon & Schuster was given the job of reprinting Mystery Stories titles, and for some reason this person thought Target and Procedure were part of the Mystery Stories.  And, as far as anyone knows, the printer just reused the Archway printing plates for Procedure (with the exception of taking the 1 off the copyright page), even though the Archway imprint was no longer in use by 2002, but the changed the plates for Target so that the book came out under the Simon Pulse imprint, and the copyright page even mentions that the book was first published by Archway and Simon Pulse is its second publisher.

Nice! I remember when both those books suddenly showed up again in stores back in 2002. That was pretty cool to see The Hardy Boys Casefiles on the book shelves again, long after the run had finished. In fact, I think my copy of Illegal Procedure is that particular printing. :) 8)

Nice job, MacGyver! 8) What trivia question have you got for us? :)
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 17, 2016, 02:24:18 PM
What criminal did The Hardy Boys catch who coincidentally shared the name of a famous science fiction writer?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on January 26, 2017, 06:02:52 PM
Okay MacGyver, I guess no one's going after your question.

Anyway, here's a new trivia question.

In which Casefile is the Hardy's van first mentioned?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 27, 2017, 10:51:43 AM
lol- after only a year? I'd forgotten about this thread. I think I'd have to look it up to find the answer myself to my last question. (When I get a chance, I'll find it and post it.)
Thanks for reviving the thread, tomswift2002.
I'm pretty positive I know the answer to your question, but I'll see if anyone else wants to take a crack at it first.

Post by: MacGyver on January 27, 2017, 12:20:27 PM
Okay- to answer my own last question, the guy's name I was looking for is Larry Niven, known for his Ringworld book, among many others. If I recall correctly, a character (who turns out to be the villain) by this same name appears in the "Danger in the Sky" story in Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys: Super Sleuths 2! book.

Okay.  Larry Niven is also known for his Star Trek Animated Series episode "The Slaver Weapon" where he crossed his Known Space Universe creatures the Kzinti into Trek's universe.  The Kzinti's were going to make an appearance in Star Trek Enterprise's 5th season, but obviously that didn't happen.

But I thought it would've been like Stephen King or Christopher Pike (another Trek-related author).

But back to my question.  It may seem easy, but really, it's not.

Anyone going to guess?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 30, 2017, 07:34:35 AM
I didn't know Larry Niven had contributed to the Star Trek universe- and I definitely didn't know Christoper Pike had! (Captain Christoper Pike sure- but not the author. ;) ;D)

Now that you mentioned this about the question with the van, I feel like I may need to revise my earlier guess. However, if no one else is guessing, I'll put out what I feel now is the "obvious" answer that may not actually be technically right now.

Dead on Target
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on February 01, 2017, 07:30:15 AM
I figured someone would go for the easy answer.  Unfortunately, "Dead On Target" is not the answer.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 02, 2017, 01:40:11 AM
Okay- that's what I thought. In that case, I feel like I know the answer for sure now, but as I said earlier- I'd rather let someone else guess first.

Okay, then- I'll put in my other guess. Cult of Crime?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on February 09, 2017, 07:10:43 PM
Yes it's "Cult Of Crime".  And it's Joe who appears in it first.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on February 10, 2017, 06:54:31 AM
Okay. Well, while we're speaking of vehicles, what book outside of The Hardy Boys Casefiles mentions Frank and Joe's yellow sedan after they get their van?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: CalvinKnox on December 17, 2017, 01:41:09 PM
Is it a Digest?  #88 Tricky Business?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!

Whoa! An old thread resurfaces! I will have to try to remember what answer I had in mind and get back to you.

It's not Tricky Business. And speaking of tricky business, I should mention that the book I have in mind does not directly mention the car, but it is referenced nonetheless.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: tomswift2002 on December 23, 2017, 03:41:58 PM
The Criss Cross Crime?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on December 23, 2017, 08:25:52 PM
That's not the book I had in mind. I will have to review relevant passages- it's possible there's more than one valid answer for this question.

Alright, my last guess is #90 Danger On The Diamond.  Anything thing else would just be a random guess unless I do a lot of reading first.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 07, 2018, 03:11:55 PM
That book is one of my favourites, but it's not that one either. Maybe a hint is in order....?
This book also mentions a particular driver in relation to the car.

Not the one I was thinking of, but it's entirely there may be more than one book that mentions it. I'll double check this later today when I can.
You are closer on track though.

Joe had his melted keys stolen in "Shockwaves" from the SuperMystery'88 series.  So maybe it's "Shockwaves"?
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Trivia Game!
Post by: MacGyver on January 09, 2018, 10:22:32 AM
Yes! Shock Waves is the book I had in mind. Joe's melted keys to the yellow sedan are stolen and he is determined to retrieve them as it's a tangible reminder of Iola for him. Well done, guys. :) 8)

They are in Chapter 2.  Joe tells Frank that he went down to the scene of the crime, and was talking to the crime scene techs, and he was given the keys by one of the techs to show just how hot the explosion was.

Really, with that last clue, it should be obvious about where the girl's were heading, as it's a place that most girl's and women head to before Christmas!

CalvinKnox already said that, and the answer is no.  Although it is possible, but it wasn't mentioned in the story, this place might be found in a mall.  Although, this place can be referred to by two descriptive titles.

Okay. I think this should be a fairly easy one. (I will admit I have a secondary motive here of generating conversation because the topic of this question never seemed to get much discussion on here, unfortunately.)

What Hardy Boys book is referenced in the last episode of the 2020 The Hardy Boys TV series?

(There may be multiple answers to this but there is one in particular I am thinking of that I think should have been at least somewhat obvious on the show.)
