Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Asterix is the central character of the book and the story is all about his adventures protecting his village in Gaul from the Romans. In the story who is his best friend?

Answer: Obelix

Obelix is a menhir delivery-man. A menhir is a tall upright monumental stone and Obelix can be seen throughout the book carrying one on his back. Getafix is the druid who brews up the magic potions for the villagers, Cacofonix is the village musician and a terrible one at that. Vitalstatistix is the chief of the tribe and is very brave but he is scared that the sky may fall on his head tomorrow.

2. What is Obelix's favourite food?

Answer: Wild boar

He is addicted to wild boar and is constantly eating it throughout the book. As long as there is the promise of wild boar he will do anything.

3. In the story, Gaul has been taken over by the Romans, apart from a small village (the home of Asterix). In what year was this?

Answer: 50 BC

The Roman Emperor at the time was Julius Caesar who sent the legionaries to capture the village but they were unsuccessful. In most instances Asterix would be able to fight off the Romans all at the same time with the magic strength potion.

4. Getafix was the Gaul who made up magic potions. What was he?

Answer: a druid

He carried a golden sickle with him for cutting up mistletoe. The best time to cut mistletoe was on the sixth day of the new moon.

5. Who was NOT allowed to take the potion that gave everyone superhuman strength?

Answer: Obelix

Obelix couldn't have any because when he was a baby he fell into a cauldron which caused permanent damage. As can be seen in the book he is twice the size of any of the other characters.

6. Mistletoe was the main ingredient in the magic potion that gave the villagers their strength. What was added for flavor?

Answer: lobster

The secret recipe for the potion was handed down through the years to each druid. Getafix advised that the lobster was only an added extra. It was not needed for the potion, it was just to make it taste better.

7. The Romans who were wanting to take over the village, but could not because of the strength potion of the villagers, decided to send in a spy. What was his name?

Answer: Caligula Minus

He entered the village in disguise wearing a false moustache. When it was discovered he was not a Gaul he managed to escape back to the Roman camp of Compendium and tell the Romans the secret.

Answer: It grew massive amounts of hair on their bodies

This was only a short term solution for our heroes so it would give them time to prepare the real solution so they could break out of the camp.

9. Cacofonix was a very talented musician.

Answer: False

He was dreadful! Everyone in the story tried to avoid having to listen to him.

10. When Julius Caesar found out there was a takeover plot by the Romans in the area, where did he send them?

Answer: Outer Mongolia

Asterix told Caesar of the plot and so he was released, until next time of course.
