Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Adrian's eldest son?

Answer: Glenn

Adrian does not meet Glenn until he is 13 as he is the result of a short-lived romance between Adrian and Sharon Bott. Adrian undergoes a paternity test as Sharon has a reputation in the area due to the fact that she has many children by many different men.

2. What is Adrian's middle name?

Answer: Albert

Adrian's full name is Adrian Albert Mole. He is named for his paternal grandfather.

3. When Adrian was growing up, his dog didn't have a name.

Answer: True

In the early books, the dog is referred to simply as "the dog". Later, the family get a new dog who goes by the imaginative name of "the new dog". This changes when Adrian's mother gets a dog who she names Ivan after her dead husband, Pandora's father.

4. When Adrian lives with Bianca, who does she have a photograph of above their bed?

Answer: Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Bianca has a degree in engineering and her hero is Isambard Kingdom Brunel. She has a picture there instead of a bedstead. She eventually runs off with Pauline Mole's toyboy Martin.

5. Adrian lives in Pandora's spare room when she is a student at Cambridge.

Answer: False

Pandora attended Oxford when Adrian lived in her box room. It was here that Pandora secretly got married to her gay flat-mate as she thought that first marriages should be got over and done with.

6. What is Rosie's middle name?

Answer: Germaine

Rosie is Adrian's younger sister. It is never discovered whether she is George Mole or Mr. Lucas' daughter. Her mother gave her the middle name Germaine after the feminist writer Germaine Greer.

7. What was the name of the dog owned by Bert Baxter?

Answer: Sabre

Sabre is an Alsatian. Adrian begins looking after Bert and Sabre as part of a school project thinking that Bert will not live for very long. However, this is not the case as Bert lives to be 105 years old.

8. Which country does Adrian travel to with Ivan Braithwaite, prompting him to have to apply for his first passport?

Answer: Russia

This trip is for dairy workers, of which Ivan is one. Adrian is surprised by the warm weather that he enjoys while he is there and the fact that he is left to his own devices by Ivan despite his young age. When he is applying for the passport, under sex, Adrian writes "not yet"!

9. Pandora becomes an MP as a member of which political party?

Answer: Labour

Pandora was elected in 1997 and is one of the so-called "Blair Babes". She later is blackballed after opposing the war in Iraq.

10. At what age does Adrian begin writing his diaries?

Answer: 13 3/4

The first book was entitled "The Secret Life of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4" and begins after what has evidently been a boozy Christmas in the Mole house.
