"The Lost Colony" by Eoin Colfer Quiz


I so enjoyed this book (and the whole "Artemis Fowl" series) that I thought that it would be good to create a collection of questions on the fifth book. Have fun!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the first chapter, what is Butler wearing that whites out all surveillance equipment nearby?

Answer: A button

It is the third button on Butler's jacket and emits a Solinium pulse. Which apparently works against both human and fairy technology. When Artemis tells Butler this, Butler feels guilty about the honeymoon videos they may have ruined.
2. When Artemis is in Butler's house, which one of these is not a book mentioned as being on the shelves?

Answer: Martial Arts: Outdated?

Artemis mutters under his breath that Butler is "full of surprises" as he reaches out to touch "Moby Dick". Obviously this and other choices of books are not what you'd expect a tough ex-bodyguard to have on his shelves.
3. What colour(s) is the uniform that Holly gets when she starts working for Section 8?

Answer: Matte Black

Holly asks what colour the uniform is when still trying to decide. Hearing that it's Matte Black seals the deal for Holly. But obviously the adventure and return to Captain status may of played a small part too.
4. Where does Minerva's mother live?

Answer: Marseilles

Her mother left a year before the start of the book and lives in Marseilles with the ex-gardener. it mentions this when they first find out all about Minerva and her family from Foaly.
5. What does No.1 say is his first ever cliché?

Answer: Never a dull moment

He says this just after he's been rescued from the psycho Billy Kong by Holly. Holly then casually says that all they've got to do now is save Hybras, to which No.1 replies "Never a dull moment," and then "hey, my first cliché."
6. Abbot's demon name is N'zall. What does that mean in the Old Demon Cant?

Answer: Little horn

When Qwan (the warlock demon) revealed this, some of the older demons who understood its meaning laughed. Abbot flinches and obviously doesn't like this name.
7. What do humans call the place where the island of Hybras was, and, at the end of the book, returns to?

Answer: Saint George's Channel

North Channel and Saint George's Channel are both on the east side of Ireland and the other two mentioned are on the west, so they're all real places. Saint George's Channel is between south-east Ireland and Wales. In the book, Holly puts Hybras down twenty miles off course, causing a panic for the clean-up operation.
8. What is Billy Kong's ringtone?

Answer: The Toreador Song

We learn this when Artemis rings Kong to arrange the swap of Minerva for No. 1.
9. Why is the sky over Hybras red?

Answer: Because it's trapped permanently at dawn

This is because the shift from Earth to Limbo happened at dawn, which they called the "Hour of Power".
10. What is Minerva's pet name for her little brother, Beau?

Answer: Bobo

Minerva calls after Doodah Day (posing as Beau) and tries to get him to go to her using Bobo. Doodah thinks that no one in their right mind would go towards someone calling them Bobo. Minerva's father calls her Chérie, which means darling, but would have to be Chéri for a boy.
