Frank Beddor Trivia Questions

1. What Boarderland tribe has a name which is an anagram of the game "Uno"?

From Quiz
Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Onu

Though most tribes are mobile, on the map inside the book "Seeing Redd", part 2 in the "Looking Glass Wars" trilogy, the Onu tribe is located in north central Boarderland. Uno was invented in 1971, and is the Spanish or Italian word for "one". The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards, and when you are down to one card, you shout out "Uno!"

2. What was the real name of the man Alice Liddel befriended when she was a young girl, influencing the author to write 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'?

From Quiz Alice Liddel and "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Charles Dodgson

In 'The Looking Glass Wars' the reader can see how Alice Liddel befriended Lewis Carroll (aka Charles Dodgson) and gave him the idea for 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' when she spoke of her previous life when she lived as a princess in Wonderland. It then shows how she thought he would write an accurate account of what had really happened to her but that, when she realised how he had changed the details of her previous life, she got upset as she thought it would make her stories seem even more ridiculous. In the story, she didn't speak to him again until her eighteenth birthday.

3. Which card game is the "Astacan" tribe an anagram of?

From Quiz Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Canasta

The Astacan tribe is located at the very northern part of Boarderland, near the border of Morgavia. Canasta was invented in 1939, and is believed to be a variation of 500 Rum. In the came, the goal is to make "canastas" (combinations of seven cards of the same value). Once you can go out, you get points for the types of "canaastas" you have made.

4. In the 'Looking Glass Wars', Alice Liddel was the main character, but what was her real name whenever she was in (or associated with) Wonderland?

From Quiz Alice Liddel and "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Alyss Heart

Frank Beddor was rather clever with his novel as, whenever Alice was in Wonderland or still believed in Wonderland, she would be referred to as Alyss. Her name in Wonderland was 'Princess Alyss Heart'. The novel shows how her teacher in our world did not like her spelling her name A-L-Y-S-S as she thought it was incorrect.

5. Scrabble is a widely popular game of letters, which may involve anagrams. What tribe is an anagram of "Scrabble"?

From Quiz Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Scabbler

The Scabbler tribe is located near the Glyph Cliffs in northwestern Boarderland. The Glyph Cliffs are on the boarder of Boarderland and Outerwilderbeastia.

7. What card game is the "Fel Creel" tribe an anagram of?

From Quiz Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Free Cell

The Fel Creel tribe is located near Fortune Bay, in the central western part of Boarderland. Though it is unknown what the exact origins of Free Cell are, it may have been a game similar to Eight Off, now called Baker's Game, invented in 1968. However, it may be related to a 1945 game, Forty Thieves. The object of the game is similar to Solitaire: build up all four suits in a deck from ace to king.

8. What was the name of the portal Alice and Hatter went through in Wonderland that allowed Wonderlanders to travel to our world?

From Quiz Alice Liddel and "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: the pool of tears

The pool of tears was given its name because it was believed that when people entered it, they never returned. Because of this, their loved ones would sit by the pool waiting for them and would cry into it. To get back to Wonderland, it was said that the Wonderlander needed to look for a puddle where a puddle shouldn't be.

9. Which tribe is an anagram of the card game "War"?

From Quiz Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"

Answer: Awr

The Awr tribe is located in the northeastern part of Boarderland. It is not exactly clear how the card game "War" came to be, but it is often played by children as it is a very simple game. The object is to gain all the cards in a deck, by "battling" your opponent. The highest card wins the trick, and when players tie, they go to "war", by placing three cards face down, and flipping the top card, and the winner of that will get all the cards in the pot. A computer program played 1,000,000 games, and in those 1,000,000, a sextuple war only happened once!

From Quiz Tribes of "The Looking Glass Wars"
