Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. German names in the comics end in what two letters?

Answer: ic

For example, we come across Electric, Eccentric and Rhetoric.

2. What is the first name of the Roman hostage brought from Spain to the Gaulish village?

Answer: pericles

As Obelix's guest, Pepe was, in Obelix's opinion, nothing but a holy terror.

3. Who kidnapped Getafix?

Answer: Visigoths

The Goths had entered Gaul only to kidnap the winner of the Best Druid Award. When they see Getafix's wonderous potion, they decide that that is what they were looking for to help aid their conquests.

4. Which of these languages can Getafix speak?

Answer: Gothic

Thinking that the druid does not understand Gothic, the interpretor tries to get away by pretending to the chief that the Druid is ready to help them. Later, when the druid reveals that he understands Gothic and moreover, has no intention of helping them, he was really in for a shock.

5. When the Roman General disguises himself as a Spaniard, what does he call himself?

Answer: Olorasco El Fiasco

In order to recapture Pepe and bring him back to the Roman camp in Gaul, the Centurion had to disguise himself.

6. When asked about the directions to his hometown, Pepe says that his village is the best village in the world, his house is the best house in the village and what other thing?

Answer: Vitalstatistix still has a big nose

Obelix finds this last comment particularly amusing. Vitalstatix, on the other hand failed to share his sense of humour. Pepe says the other three things when asked why the Romans have brought him there.

7. The German martial arts specialist in "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix" had used which martial art form to knock out Obelix (and eventually gets knocked out by Asterix in the same manner)?

Answer: Karate

Obelix tries hard to thump him, but finds out that he isn't the usual Roman army that he gets to fight at home. Asterix, on the other hand, uses tactics like making him teach the art while fighting him, finds it an easier job to finish him.

8. By what other name are Spanish people referred to in the comics (like Germans being called Goths)?

Answer: Iberian

The Spanish peninsula had formerly been known as Iberia, just like how France was called Gaul. The people of Iberia were eventually known as Iberians. During the early dark ages, the Iberian peninsula underwent a series of wars between the Moorish lords and the Muslim Berbers of North Africa.

9. Which among German and Spanish languages do the Gauls understand?

Answer: Spanish

Getafix is the only Gaul we know who can understand German (Gothic). We don't know for sure if the interpretor in Rhetoric's kingdom is of Gaulish origin. However, all of the Gauls were able to communicate with Pericles and his father.

10. Which Gaulish word does Rhetoric say that revealed that he understands the language?

Answer: thanks

Rhetoric says, "thanks" when Asterix lends him a hankie. Had he not done that, he could have escaped to Gaul after Asterix lets him free.
