Where To Watch
Did the professor invent these things on Gilligan's Island?
He could make anything! Well, except a working boat.
Warner Brothers
Ah yes, the professor: the man who famously could create just about anything out of coconuts, palm fronds, and sea shells — but couldn't seem to fix the hole in the boat.
During the castaways' stay on the island, the professor came up with dozens of inventions to make their lives easier (or to serve as a convenient plot device for that week's adventure.) Can you remember if he actually made these gadgets, gizmos, and appliances?

I really don't remember him making a high G centrifuge. Was it when Gilligan was training to use the jet pack?

#6 - for us male posters - can you imagine a Jacuzzi with Mary Ann and Ginger....YIKES!
who cares about getting off the island? :)

9 of 10. When did the professor make a high g centrifuge?
5/10. Back to Giligan Summer School for me.
9/10 not bad
8/10. One of my favorite shows.
6/10 and all guesses LOL
9/10 don't remember hot air balloon
This was the episode with Kurt Russell as the jungle boy.
"Hey little buddy, you got 8 out of 10. Look at you, flying high with that quiz score!"
Not to sound like some pedantic "I know better" type but the quiz title shouldn't be
"Did the professor invent these things on Gilligan's Island?" as that confused things.
He didn't invent any of them. Rather it's a question of did he fashion a island version
of them with the material at hand, which is fun to see, like the car that Gilligan drove
that was a version of Fred Flintstone's Cavemobile.
I think it was called a Cavemobile, at least that's what someone posted on these boards
a long time ago.

7/10…what.. no popcorn machine!
No popcorn
9 of 10. I remember the episode when the Professor had regrets on being stuck on the island, because he invented everything useful for modern civilization on the island.
6/10. Make anything except repair a hole in a boat.
Dammit, he's a scientist, not a carpenter!
6/10 - guess I didn’t give the professor enough credit!
A lot of these didn't make sense! I assume 3 was to cut food and not what the French used it for...LOL! BTW, all those things existed in the '60's so technically he didn't "invent" anything!
No he didn't. He called the device a guillotine, but it was for coconuts.
Ever try to open one of those manually?!
Yes
How long did it take you?
About 5 seconds, counting opening and closing the door.
We were riding through Hollywood in the back of a van, and a couple of others were trying to figure out how to approach opening a coconut they had bought. When the van stopped for a light, I grabbed the coconut away from them, slung open the sliding door, leaped out, slammed the coconut down on the curb as hard as I could, leaped back in, slammed the door and handed them the opened coconut.
I did not take note of how far and in what directions the pedestrians scattered.

Well, if ya wanna do it the EASY way....
I have generally found few problems which cannot be solved with a sufficient application of brute force and stupidity.
I got 6/10. I got #1, 4, 6, and 10 wrong. Great inventions. I didn't pay attention, did he try to make something to get rescued off the island.
Several times. And contrary to popular belief Gilligan didn't foul up all of them. A few times he was the ONLY innocent one!
