Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Carrot's childhood sweetheart?

Answer: Minty

Carrot was a human raised by dwarfs, and his relationship with Minty became cause for concern. Carrot was originally sent to Ankh-Morpork as a way of separating the pair.

2. How many children did Nanny Ogg have?

Answer: 15

The infamous Nanny Ogg, married three times to Albert Ogg, Winston Ogg and Sobriety Ogg (witches are matrilinear), all of which have passed away, had fifteen children. They were Jason, Grame, Tracie, Shirl, Daff, Dreen, Nev, Trev, Kev, Wane, Sharleen, Darron, Karen, Reet and Shawn.

3. Apart from half a copy of Almanack and Booke of Dayes, what else is hanging on a nail in Granny Weatherwax's privy?

Answer: Key to the cottage

There is also a stump of candle on the shelf and various things that she has found on her walks, such as fossils, stones, etc.

4. Who chose and trained Magrat in the art of witchcraft?

Answer: Goodie Whemper

A research witch who died in an accident whilst testing to see if a broomstick could still fly whilst having its bristles pulled out in mid-air one at a time. It seems not.

5. Who was Coin's father?

Answer: Ipslore the Red

Wizards are celibate. Ipslore flouted this (at least eight times) fell in love, got married, and had eight sons. Being an eighth son himself, this made his last son a wizard squared - a sorcerer.

6. The Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons charity is run by whom?

Answer: Rosie Devant-Molei

Surprisingly enough, the charity is not run by Sybil.

7. Lucy Tockley is better known as who?

Answer: Diamanda

She invented the name Diamanda as she thought it was more 'witchy' than her own. VERY Gothic.

8. What book is considered to be the most dangerous on the Disc?

Answer: The Necrotelicomnicon

Written by Achmed the Mad. A wizard once sat down to read it and let his mind wander. The next day all they found were a pile of clothes and his hat on top, and the book suddenly had a lot more pages.

9. Ysabell, Death's adopted daughter, had an obsession for what colour?

Answer: Pink

Adopted by Death as a baby when her parents were killed (although no explanation is offered as to why Death did this), she had a habit of reading the romantic autobiographies of heroes and heroines, and, despite everything in Death's house being black in colour, she did rather zealously have a taste for all things pink and frilly.

10. Which beggar belonging to the Canting Crew in Ankh-Morpork has an impressive collection of skin diseases?

Answer: Coffin Henry

As the name suggests, he also has a cough. He generally keeps a sign with him that informs the public that if they pay him some money, he won't follow them home. 'Coff coff.'
