From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: I Spy

In this story, Andy's family are on a holiday and they could not go outdoors as it was raining. So, they decide to play a game in the caravan. They also kept telling each other to shut up.

5. Who did Andy dedicate "The Story of the Very Stupid Boy and the Very Big Slug" to?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: Lisa Mackney

Andy wrote this story to impress Lisa Mackney, the girl he has a crush on.

6. Who is the first victim of the butts' revolutionary plan to overthrow the existing order?

From Quiz "The Day My Butt Went Psycho" - The Beginning

Answer: The local buttcatcher

Overconfident, the buttcatcher charges into the football stadium with a powerful buttmagnet. However, he is overwhelmed by the sheer number of insurrectionist butts. They take him by force and liberate his butt (described as "very white and very frightened"), placing it triumphantly atop the buttcatcher's neck. As Zack's butt proclaims: "Butts are not slaves! We are not owned by anybody!" The pervasive theme of class conflict is reiterated here: the buttcatcher states, rather matter-of-factly, that "a butt without an owner is just a...a...a butt!" Likewise, Zack muses to himself that "all he wanted was a butt that would settle down and just be a butt." Clearly, the butts are not interested in keeping their assigned place in the class structure and have risen to violent revolution. As Zack himself admits: "once a butt gets a taste for killing, it is very difficult for it to stop."

7. In the "101 Really Disgusting Things" list, what is the first most disgusting thing listed?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: Brussels Sprouts

"101 Really Disgusting Things" is a list of 101 really disgusting things, in Andy's opinion.

8. In the story "Fun with Andy and Danny", when Andy and Danny got in trouble, where did they hide?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: Under Andy's bed

While Andy's parents were out, Andy and Danny made a mess in the house. When Andy's parents got home, Andy and Danny hid under the bed so they wouldn't get caught, but Andy's parents found them eventually.

9. In the story "Deadflyella", what does Deadflystepmother always do?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: Vomit

When Deadflystepmother vomits, Deadflyella had to suck up her vomit because her stepsister told her to.

10. After his escape from the flying butts, Zack gains no reprieve. What leader of the butt hierarchy (and his coterie) does Zack then encounter?

From Quiz "The Day My Butt Went Psycho" - The Beginning

Answer: Prince, Leader of Butt Intelligence

Of course, Prince and his cohort think Zack is a buttcatcher. They threaten the hero with the most feared weapon in their arsenal: a match. As Griffiths writes, "Butts and matches [are] a bad combination." In the original Australian edition, the word "bum" is used 1,243 times. Since the novel only contains about 50,000 words, this term for posterior accounts for over 2% of the book. I did not count, but "butt" probably occupies a similar proportion of the United States version.

11. In "The Story of the Very Stupid Boy and the Very Big Slug", what was Danny Pickett feeding the slug to make it bigger?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: Dog food

Danny Pickett was trying to grow the biggest slug in the world for the science project while Andy was going to make a time machine.

12. Just when it appears that Zack is about to meet his demise as the hand of the match-wielding butt dignitary, he is rescued by the daughter of the butt-hunter, a quite formidable butt-fighter in her own right. What is her name?

From Quiz "The Day My Butt Went Psycho" - The Beginning

Answer: Eleanor

Using a gun that fires, in succession, tacks, staples, and the feared rusty nails, Eleanor repels the butts holding Zack. Their relationship does not get off to a good start, however, as Eleanor berates him for ignoring the butt siren and openly disdains any civilian who is out on the streets during a butt curfew. (This is, to get back to reality just a bit, quite reminiscent of survival tactics during the second World War when air raids were rife in Britain and continental Europe. They were also hotly anticipated in the United States, where cities would be blacked out and sirens sounded in drills for the air raids that, thankfully, never came.)

13. In "Two Brown Blobs", what toy did Andy have in the bathtub with him?

From Quiz "Just Disgusting!", Andy Griffiths

Answer: A rubber duck

Andy is in the bathtub when he spots two brown blobs in there. He isn't sure what the two blobs are and tries everything he can to get rid of them.
