Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start with an easy one: In 'Ender's Game', when Colonel Graff takes Ender on leave to Earth, in which state of the United States does he take him to?

Answer: North Carolina

This was, incidentally, the last time Ender saw Earth, a rather tragic fate, I think.
2. In 'Pastwatch', please name, in chronological order, the women in Christopher Columbus's life

Answer: Felipa, Beatrice, Beatrice de Bobadilla, Diko

He married Felipa for power, then she died. The first Beatrice he slept with. Beatrice de Bobadilla he didn't really have a relationship with; they were just friends. Columbus married Diko on Haiti after he landed and Kemal blew up the ships.
3. In 'Enchantment', which of the following was not one of Esther Smetski's wards against evil around her house?

Answer: A bowl of fresh milk on the back stoop

Ivan's mother was a modern witch, believing in folk magic. Leaving milk on the stoop was a type of folk magic, for the gods to drink (Celtic and Scandinavian myth, I believe), but Mrs. Smetski didn't use it.
4. True or false: In 'Treason' (this is the revised edition, not the 1979 'A Planet Called Treason'), the Nkumai family got their iron for smells over a swamp.

Answer: False

This was a lie told to Lanik by Mwabao Mawa, who was proved an interloper from Anderson (a lot of people were!). I thought 'Treason' was a peculiar book--everyone except Lanik and Saranna was dead by the end.
5. In 'Speaker for the Dead', which piggy do we meet first?

Answer: Rooter

The book opens with Pipo watching Rooter's acrobatics. Later, Rooter was found vivisected, or "taken into the third life". Mandachuva, Human and Leaf-eater were other piggies.
6. In 'Ender's Shadow', what was the name of the woman who gave both Achilles and Ulysses their names?

Answer: Helga

Helga called him Ulysses because he wandered from soup kitchen to soup kitchen, and Achilles was given his name because of his weak leg (Achilles' heel).
7. Also in 'Ender's Shadow', what was the name of the student who ridiculed Achilles and was therefore on his list "to terminate"?

Answer: Ambul

Ambul helped Bean trap Achilles in the ducts later in the book.
8. In 'Shadow of the Hegemon', which of the following was not spoken during the book?

Answer: Dutch

It's true--Bean didn't go to the Netherlands during 'Hegemon'.
9. Here's a hard one: What was the name of the Polemarch for most of 'Shadow of the Hegemon' (watch your spelling!)?

Answer: Chamrajnagar

Chamrajnagar was Indian, and yes, he was the admiral on Eros. In one of the little anonymous conversations at the beginning of the chapters in 'Ender's Game' you find out that he's talking to Graff.
10. In 'Enchantment', what does Katerina put as her name in the airport?

Answer: Katerina Taina

This is shown after the plane takes off without them on it, and officials come over to find out why they left. Intense part. I loved it that Baba Yaga's chicken-legs hut was a hijacked 747 from Kennedy.
