Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Of what intergalatic species is the Great A'Tuin?

Answer: astrochelonian

The Great A'Tuin comes from a universe where things are less as they are and more like people imagine them to be. I hope that clears that up.

2. Which assassin has to return to his country of Djelibeybi to become its ruler?

Answer: Teppic

On his return he became 'His Greatness the King Teppicymon XXVIII, Lord of the Heavens, Charioteer of the Wagon of the Sun, Steersman of the Barque of the Sun, Guardian of the Secret Knowledge, Lord of the Horizon, etc.. etc.. etc.. Not bad seeing that he didn't know what he was doing.

3. Who laid out the gardens attached to the Patrician's Palace in Ankh-Morpork?

Answer: Bloody Stupid Johnson

He had 2000 tons of earth built into an artificial hillock in front of Quirm Manor because 'It'd drive me mad to have to look at a bunch of trees and mountains all day long, how about you?'

4. DEATH rides a great white horse. What is its name?

Answer: Binky

Death gave up riding traditional skeletal horses because of the bother of having to stop all the time to wire bits back on.

5. What is the occupation of Wee Mad Arthur?

Answer: Rat catcher

Wee Mad Arthur was a gnome of ill disposition who liked to kill vermin with a head butt. He was frightened of no-one and as his advertisement said 'Small fees BIG JOBS'.

6. Which troll becomes the first to join the city watch?

Answer: Detritus

Detritus wasn't allowed a sword like the other recruits. Until they got this saluting business sorted out, Sergeant Colon was concerned he would nail his own hand to his own ear.

7. William de Worde became the accidental editor of Discworld's first newspaper. What did he call it?

Answer: The Ankh-Morpork Times

The rival paper, the "Ankh-Morpork Inquirer", believed in tabloid journalism with headlines such as, 'Woman gives birth to cobra', 'Rain of Soup in Genua' and 'Hen Lays Egg Three Times In Hurricane'.

8. Which novice does the Great God Om come to in the form of a tortoise?

Answer: Brutha

After a really good party, Om found himself trapped in the body of a tortoise which was not a good idea because, like people said, 'there's good eating on a tortoise'.

9. Who watched a play in which a king was killed then at the end stood up shouting 'He done it. We all seed 'im! He done it with a dagger!'?

Answer: Granny Weatherwax

Granny found it difficult to enter into the spirit of the play and suspend her disbelief. With Granny watching the actors found it even more difficult to enter into the spirit of the play and remember their lines.

10. What was the name of Nanny Ogg's cat?

Answer: Greebo

To Nanny Ogg Greebo was still the cute little kitten that chased balls of wool around the floor. To the rest of the world he was an enormous tomcat, a parcel of incredibly indestructible life forces in a skin that looked less like a fur than a piece of bread that had been left in a damp place for a fortnight.
