Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How did Carrot get his name?

Answer: His shape

"It is the kind of tapering shape a boy gets through clean living, healthy eating, and good mountain air in huge lungfuls. When he flexes his shoulder muscles, other muscles have to move out of the way first."

2. Who was the President of the Guild of Thieves arrested by Carrot?

Answer: Urdo Van Pew

Mr. Boggis is the head of the Thieves' Guild in 'Feet of Clay'. Downey becomes Master of the Assassins' Guild after 'Men At Arms' in which Dr. Whiteface first appears as the head of the Fool's Guild.

3. If you want to get into the headquarters of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night, does the caged whale know anything of the mighty deeps?

Answer: No

The full exchange of the password phrases:
"The significant owl hoots in the night.
Yet many grey lords go sadly to the masterless men.
Hooray, Hooray for the spinster's sister's daughter.
To the axeman, all supplicants are the same height.
Yet verily, the rose is within the thorn.
The caged whale knows nothing of the mighty deeps.
The ill-built tower trembles mightily at a butterfly's passage."

Interstingly, the first five lines are also used by the Illuminated and Ancient Brethren of Ee, whose door Brother Fingers accidentally knocked on first. The Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night meet three doors down.

4. When Colon and Nobby are "undercover", what title do they use for each other?

Answer: Detector

Vimes wants them to be inconspicuous. As it turns out, their choice of clothes is so outrageous he decides that nobody would ever look at them and think they were Watchmen trying to be inconspicuous.

5. After the Watch House is destroyed, where does the Night Watch move?

Answer: Psuedopolis Yard

Lady Ramkin owns property all over the city, and an old house in Pseudopolis Yard is just one of them.

6. The first time the dragon is summoned, who is the casualty?

Answer: Zebbo Mooty

Zebbo Mooty is a Thief, Third Class. Because the rain was keeping people inside and he was behind on his quota, Zebbo was a bit less careful than usual. He became the first person killed by a dragon in hundreds of years (according to Death). Borgle is the canteen owner in 'Moving Pictures'. Arthur Ludorum is one of Teppic's fellow students in 'Pyramids'. Eric Thursley is THE Eric of 'Eric'.

7. Which of the following is NOT a place that Colon and Nobby encounter the dragon close up?

Answer: Atop the Tower of Art

Although the dragon does appear once on top of the Tower of Art, it is not a place where Colon and Nobby encounter the dragon. Atop the Temple of Small Gods, Colon actually sits on the sleeping dragon, thinking it is a statue.

8. Which of the Elucidated Brethren survives when the dragon burns their meeting place?

Answer: Brother Fingers

He was always the one sent out for pizza. It was the cheapest way as he never mastered the art of paying for things. That was because he was really Benjy "Lightfoot" Boggis, a member of the Thieves' Guild.

9. At one point the Patrician describes Ankh-Morpork as a city of one hundred thousand souls and how many actual people?

Answer: Ten times that many

Vetinari does not really appear to like the city, but he does like making it run.

10. Who is the Supreme Grand Master?

Answer: Lupin Wonse

Lupin Wonse is Lord Vetinari's secretary who got delusions of grandeur and decided Vetinari had to go. He figured bringing a dragon back would suffice and he would be able to control it. He was wrong.
