Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The pirates encounter whom, while sailing the English Channel?

Answer: Romans

"That, quite simply, was Julius Caesar, en route to invade Britain with his entire army and navy!"

2. What is the name of the British chief who rules the tiny village in Cantium that is holding out against the invaders?

Answer: Unionjax

Chief Unionjax is similar to Chief Macroeconomix in that he leads a village against the Romans.

3. What is the name of the pub where Brasstax first takes Asterix and Obelix?

Answer: The Laughing Boar

Obelix thinks it's called The Laughing Boar for its portions (quite unlike Obelix's usual entire boar).

4. What is the name of the Roman governor of Londinium?

Answer: Habeas Corpus

He declares, "By writ of Habeas Corpus, search all public houses and seize all barrels..."

5. Obelix is arrested and taken to the Tower of Londinium.

Answer: true

Obelix gets drunk and falls asleep. Unable to carry him, Brasstax and Asterix move on, planning to come back for him.

6. What number house are our friends supposed to find the shady character in?

Answer: LVII

They originally bash in house LVIII, but it turns out the house wasn't LVII. An I had fallen down.

7. What was the name of the pub which had sold the barrel of magic potion to the rugby teams?

Answer: Jolly Sixpax

Jolly Sixpax it was! "I'm proud I sold my barrel to the players from Camulodunum!"

8. What is the name of the other city which Camulodunum is playing?

Answer: Durovernum

Durovernum it is, indeed!

9. The scoreboard at the end of the rugby match reads DCCCIV to III in favor of Durovernum.

Answer: false

The score is right, but it's in favor of Camulodunum. They had Hipiphurrax on magic potion, so of course they won!

10. On the way back to Gaul, do our friends board the pirate ship?

Answer: no

Asterix says, "I'm so eager to get back to Gaul that even if we encounter pirates, I suggest going on without stopping." When they get back, they ask Magigimmix what the name of the herb was that Chief Unionjax said would be made national drink of Britain. It was TEA!
