Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The personal details section includes favourite colour. Which of these is a choice?

Answer: Red

The other choice is Saffron. Instead of your address it has a space for the address of your monastery.
Puce is the colour of a flea. For those who do not know what colour a flea is it is brownish purple or deep purplish pink.

2. In which book is Lu-tze a major character?

Answer: Thief of Time

"The Thief of Time" is about time and Lu-Tze is a member of the history monks whose purpose is to observe things. If these things are not observed by a qualified person they are not history but just sequential events.

3. What is Lu-tze's rank in the abbey?

Answer: Sweeper

He is technically not actually a monk but just a servant. No one but an idiot confuses the technicality with actuality.

4. There are mentions of other orders of monks. Which of these are mentioned?

Answer: All are mentioned

There are two groups of Monks of Cool. One group are seekers of Coolness who tend to wear clothes that have just ceased to be cool. The other type wear whatever they feel like. This makes the clothes cool.
The balancing monks place small (under 14.14 pounds or seven kilos) weights at places they decide by some unknown method are strategic in order to keep the world in balance.

5. Who is Mrs Marietta Cosmopolite?

Answer: An elderly lady from Ankh Morpork.

Lu-Tze lodged with her and was impressed by her wisdom. There are a selection of her sayings in the diary.
The "Discworld" companion says she is a seamstress. Elsewhere in its account of the guild of seamstresses it says that the docks had 987 seamstresses with two needles between them, however the diary says she was a seamstress in the non euphemistic sense.

6. Who is Dolly Golightly?

Answer: Darkness incarnate

She is Mrs Cosmopolite's neighbour. Her evil ways include letting her cat scratch up Mrs Cosmopolite's flower bed.

7. Which of these sayings is included in the diary?

Answer: Both of these.

These are sayings of Mrs Cosmopolite. . Lu-Tze was impressed by her rephrasing of the words of the great sage Wen the eternally surprised. Sages have written 8000 word treatises on one of her sayings.

8. What does the wise man respond to the saying 'I'm not always going to be around to do these things for you?

Answer: I will not be around to have them done. The universe will be in balance.

Another saying of Mrs Cosmopolite. Wisdom is considered better if it comes from a distant place. People from places like Ankh-Morpork go to distant mountains so people from the mountains go to Ankh-Morpork.

9. Mrs Maccalariat from the 2007 diary appears in the 2008 diary. Why?

Answer: As the person to apply to for a job in the post office.

All the other adverts are for things you can buy in the Roundworld except for the printers Teemer and Spools (who produce the stamps in "Going Postal").

Answer: Seven pm.

This is one of the seven hours where there is no flower to open. Some flowers are only included for their opening or closing and some like this poppy for both.
As it is always spring in the history monks' garden the clock always works.
