Jingo Trivia

1. In the end, what does Vetinari say he has to be dragged on to his hanging, if he is sentenced?

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: A hurdle

Vetinari is amazed that the Watch has no shackles with which to bind him, as he is being charged with treason. He authorizes Vimes to get some as soon as possible. He is equally amazed that they don't have hurdles on which to drag people to their executions. He tells Vimes that there is a sports equipment store over on Sheer Street. Nobby goes to check, and tells Vimes that they have no hurdles, but they will sell them a Ping-Pong table for ten dollars.

Answer: Leshp

This island was discovered by Solid Jackson or Greasy Arif depending on your point of view. What a brilliant idea, an island that rises out of the sea periodically due to a build up of natural gas.

Answer: Wols

The "Hagats" and "Ginra" currencies do not exist, a "rhinu" is from the Agatean Empire, and "wols" are, indeed, from Klatch.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: The Boat

Although it is indeed a submarine, he modeled it after a dolphin. However, he calls it the "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device", or "the Boat" for short. Naming things is, alas, not one of his many talents.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Klatch

Those Towel headed, curry eating, sons of the desert. The ease with which the population turns bloodthirsty, is frightening and not a little reminiscent of the recent past.

Answer: Vetinari

Vetinari: "Treason is very nearly the ultimate crime, Sir Samuel. I think I should demand handcuffs."

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Lord Rust

Lord Rust is a fool who believes he can run a more efficient city than Vetinari. He wants a war over Leshp, which he believes should belong to Ankh-Morpork. However, he has little knowledge of how difficult to control Commander Samuel Vimes and the Watch are, which leads to his loss of power.

Answer: Mundane Meals

Mr. Goriff had wanted a word that meant ordinary, everyday, straight-forward, and had asked around until he found one he liked the sound of. Beats McDonalds I guess.

From Quiz Terry Pratchett's Discworld - "Jingo"

Answer: Les

Les seemed to have a lot more sense than his father.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: They are stupid, yet loyal to a cause

In the Boat, Colon overhears Leonard ask Vetinari why he picked them. Vetinari answers, telling him that they are stupid but loyal. Colon, hearing this, doesn't realize that they are talking about him and Nobby, and is relieved that he isn't like those people they were talking about.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Ossie Brunt

Poor guy, really thought he was going to assasinate the prince with his sad little bow. Very clever, I wonder if Lee Harvey Oswald thought of that.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Prince Khufurah

Most politicians believe that Prince Cadram is a kind man, and his brother is awful. However, it is the other way around. Prince Cadram wanted his brother assasinated by Snowy Slopes, and wanted Ossie Brunt to take the blame. In the end of the book, Prince Khufurah becomes the ruling Prince, and his brother flees to Klatchistan.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Snowy Slopes

Daceyville Slopes, not an assassin, he just kills people for money. No real style. I guess snobbery exists in all professions.

From Quiz Terry Pratchett's Discworld - "Jingo"

Answer: Sheer Street

He told Vimes this in case he wanted to get a hurdle. As Vetinari was accused of treason, if he was going to executed he would have to be dragged along on a hurdle. Vetinari: "Oh yes, I don't have to be dragged on a hurdle, do I?" Carrot: "Only if you're actually executed, my lord. Traditionally, traitors are dragged to their place of execution on a hurdle. And then you're hung, drawn and quartered. I know about the hanging and quartering but I'm not sure how you're drawn, sir."

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: They get very stupid

Detritus is against going to Klatch because he doesn't want to be stupid. However, he is only stupid by day, as nights in Klatch are very cold, and cold makes trolls smarter.

From Quiz Terry Pratchett's Discworld - "Jingo"

Answer: Two dollars

Apparently this was because if he didn't wear the sack, and someone saw him, they would have the feeling that they were upside down for the rest of the day.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: 71-hour Ahmed

71-hour Ahmed is a Klatchian police officer. He knew about the plan to kill Khufurah, but wasn't able to stop it. However, since Khufurah didn't die, he managed to get him out of the embassy as it was burning, and had Vimes save the last woman there.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: 71

A very interesting man, a cop with his own brand of justice. He sure threw everyone off the scent with his cloves and big turban. I would tell you the mystery behind his name but that would be giving the game away. Go read the book.

From Quiz Terry Pratchett's Discworld - "Jingo"

Answer: Blue

Rust had a highly infuriating personality, and if anything happened that he believed couldn't possibly happen (for example his orders being disobeyed by a mere sergeant) he would simply erase the cause of the problem from his mind.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Prince Cadram

71-hour Ahmed got his name because he violated the hospitality rule of the D'regs by killing a man one hour before the three days of safety ended, thus, 71 out of 72 hours. He killed him for poisoning a village well, which killed everyone in the village. Ahmed couldn't wait even one hour to punish him for this, so he killed him, getting the name 71-hour Ahmed.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Beti

Nobby in harem pants, a truly awful thought. Among the many interesting creatures on Discworld, Nobby is truly one of a kind. Thank God for small mercies.

From Quiz Terry Pratchett's Discworld - "Jingo"

Answer: Nobby Nobbs

Nobby Nobbs had so far never been promoted any further up.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Klatch

On the Discworld, the word "Assasin" and the Guild originated in Klatch. Ankh-Morpork has the largest branch of the Guild, but it didn't begin there. Genua had once been able to afford the largest branch of the Guild outside of Ankh-Morpork. Lancre is where Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and the other witches live.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Gebra

Found out by none other than corporal Nobbs acting undercover... James Bond he's not! He is told this by the ladies he meets at the well, who taking him to be one of them confide in him. Probably the only time in his life Nobby's been surrounded by women and none of whom are throwing up.

From Quiz Jingo

Answer: Cecil

Nobby uses the name Cecil and Colon uses the name Frederick. Samuel is Commander Vimes's first name, and Leonard is, of course, Leonard of Quirm.
