:This is the only answer you cannot find anywhere in the current version of the site. As the question itself states, it should be found in Bubs' biography, but when the new [[Characters]] page was created they failed to include this vital piece of information in Bubs' new bio. The old bio is still accessible, but you have to know the URL since there aren't any links to it anywhere on the site [http://www.homestarrunner.com/yearbookb.html See the page].
+
The mouse can be moved over the name plate, microphone and "diploma" in Strong Bad's office to make Strong Bad say a line of dialogue. This cannot be accessed if all ten answers are answered correctly, as the card will obscure the objects.

===Explanations===
 +
*{{w|Spirit duplicator|Ditto machines}} were a popular, inexpensive way to make copies of paper documents, frequently used in schools during the 20th century. Copies made from a ditto machine had a distinctive smell (referenced in the [[page title]]) and {{w|Mauveine|purple ink color}}.

<blockquote>
 +
''Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?''<br>
 +
<br>
 +
'' '''a.'''  an ounce''    '' '''c.'''  a week''<br>

===Remarks===
-
:Found in ''[[The Luau]]'' [http://www.homestarrunner.com/luau2.html See the video].
+
*The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This spelling reappears in [[CGNU]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], establishing it as the "correct" spelling for Strong Bad's academic title.
 +
*The second Dokle cabinet in [[Theme Song Video]] used the numeral "2", while the quiz refers to its name with the Roman numeral "II".
 +
*If you get a perfect score, Strong Bad jogs the papers on the desk wearing his boxing gloves as normal. His hands move down behind the desk, and seconds later, without moving, he is seen wearing oven mitts.

*If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.

    From Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0, message 4.

[edit] Easter Eggs

The mouse can be moved over the name plate, microphone and "diploma" in Strong Bad's office to make Strong Bad say a line of dialogue. This cannot be accessed if all ten answers are answered correctly, as the card will obscure the objects.

  • Name plate:
    STRONG BAD: Hey, keep your greasy fingers off that.
  • Microphone:
    STRONG BAD: Hey, don't touch that!
  • Diploma:
    STRONG BAD: Pretty impressive, huh? I bet you're pretty impressed.

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Explanations

  • Ditto machines were a popular, inexpensive way to make copies of paper documents, frequently used in schools during the 20th century. Copies made from a ditto machine had a distinctive smell (referenced in the page title) and purple ink color.

[edit] Trivia

  • Though illegible normally, the paper on Strong Bad's desk can be read if zoomed in:
Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?

a. an ounce c. a week
b. a weak d. pepper
  • This is the first mention of cinnamon.
  • This is the first time an index card has appeared.

[edit] Remarks

  • The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This spelling reappears in CGNU and Teen Girl Squad Issue 8, establishing it as the "correct" spelling for Strong Bad's academic title.
  • The second Dokle cabinet in Theme Song Video used the numeral "2", while the quiz refers to its name with the Roman numeral "II".
  • If you get a perfect score, Strong Bad jogs the papers on the desk wearing his boxing gloves as normal. His hands move down behind the desk, and seconds later, without moving, he is seen wearing oven mitts.

[edit] Goofs

  • Cinnamon is spelled incorrectly as "cinammon" on the recipe card.
  • Manufactured is misspelled as "maufactured" on question number 8.

[edit] Glitches

  • If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.
  • Very rarely, even without earning a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".
