This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Wakaba's. Utena cuts off her rose with the katana she drew from Saionji.
2) So, Akio's cruising around picking up duelists.
A) Who is Akio picking up when his car breaks something? What does it break?
Nanami. He drives through the huge windows in the Kiryuu residence.
B) Who does Akio pick up without visibly moving his car?
Shiori. The car's sitting in the fountain, we just see the curtain of water part. (Oh how vaginal.)
C) Who is the only duelist to hear Akio's car before he guns the engine?
I think Juri kinda jumps right before he guns it.
3) To what does Kanae attribute her father's illness?
Anthy.

No cookies for me, it seems! That was fast

Aww. Well...how about cookie dough?
Don't worry, they were good questions! I just know my Akio gunning the engine. (Oh it's hot )

Aw hell, I'll test on what I know.
1) Two characters remove their signets at some point. Who are they?
2) Akio's hair is pulled back when he's in his usual clothes, and down when he's in the EotW uniform. What's the exception?
3) Culturally speaking, what's Touga alluded to being?
4) The series leads us to assume Saionji bought the woodcarving kit with the money Wakaba left him for lunch. How much did she leave?

Utena (of course) and Saionji

When he's in the plantarium with Touga, I think. He does that licking of the flower thing.
Yes, I know I said I didn't remember much, but every now and then I do recall stuff.

Haha, I'm fucked on this one.

I'm not sure I get what you're asking here...like a nationality?

10 yen...Pretty sure, 'cause I remember thinking it was an awful cheap little kit

Actually, angelic you're wrong on both.
But I'm going to post a picture of COOKIES MY MOTHER JUST MADE.
I had nothing to do with the color selection. Also, note which color is already missing one.
morosemocha, you got the first right. I'm too tired to figure out how to word it, so I shouldn't have put the other one. At one point conversation suggests Touga's cultural/regional origin.

I don't remember Saionji doing it. Utena and Nanami are the two I remember, though Saionji was about to take his off before Touga stopped him in the last episode.
EDITED TO ADD: I see morosemocha beat me to it And... awesome cookies, doubly so because the color selection is coincidental!

I think I scored stumpers! Or they're just really bad trivia questions.

You rock, Gio.
I know one of them is Utena... I can't think of anyone besides Nanami or Saionji doing it. DAMNIT! I feel stupid.
Offline
You were right, Utena takes hers off in episode 37. Saionji starts to in episode 39 but Touga stops him, then Nanami says she's already removed hers.
You got that one right, you silly girl.

Wait, so did I get that right? Or did another character actually remove the ring on screen?

When he's with Anthy

500 yen. Yeah it's cheap, but not that cheap. The exchange rate is about 115 yen = $1US.
Edited to add: I heart cookies.

While we're waiting for Gio to confirm those, I have a new batch! I'd wait, but I've just finished a Dr Pepper and can't be contained!
5. Ascents and descents
A) When do we see the Black Rose elevator go up?
B) When do we see the Student Council elevator go down?
C) When do we see Utena climb the arena steps prior to a duel without Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku backing her up?
6. Of Mikage's recruits, excluding himself and Tatsuya...
A) Who doesn't touch the chest of the person they draw their sword from?
B) Who doesn't raise their voice in the Black Rose elevator?
C) Who don't we see falling on a red silhouette?
7. When Utena and Touga visit the arena at night in episode 36, she starts the conversation with a memory lapse. What is she evidently forgetting about?
Other than the fact that he has never yet treated her nicely without subsequently stabbing her in the back.

Yes, although I was looking for a specific time. He's 'with' her a bunch.

Anthy asks if he's Italian.
Yep! I'd have also accepted Latin. I think he's French.

During the episode when Saionji "kidnaps" Anthy out of duel order.

Right on A! But C isn't what I'm looking for; I said when she climbs the steps prior to a duel, which rules out the scene you're talking about.
