Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the end, what does Vetinari say he has to be dragged on to his hanging, if he is sentenced?

Answer: A hurdle

Vetinari is amazed that the Watch has no shackles with which to bind him, as he is being charged with treason. He authorizes Vimes to get some as soon as possible. He is equally amazed that they don't have hurdles on which to drag people to their executions.

He tells Vimes that there is a sports equipment store over on Sheer Street. Nobby goes to check, and tells Vimes that they have no hurdles, but they will sell them a Ping-Pong table for ten dollars.

2. What does Leonard of Quirm tell Colon that his boat is called?

Answer: The Boat

Although it is indeed a submarine, he modeled it after a dolphin. However, he calls it the "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device", or "the Boat" for short. Naming things is, alas, not one of his many talents.

3. Who takes over Ankh-Morpork while Vetinari is not in power?

Answer: Lord Rust

Lord Rust is a fool who believes he can run a more efficient city than Vetinari. He wants a war over Leshp, which he believes should belong to Ankh-Morpork. However, he has little knowledge of how difficult to control Commander Samuel Vimes and the Watch are, which leads to his loss of power.

4. What "special" qualities do Colon and Nobby have that make Vetinari choose them for his mission?

Answer: They are stupid, yet loyal to a cause

In the Boat, Colon overhears Leonard ask Vetinari why he picked them. Vetinari answers, telling him that they are stupid but loyal. Colon, hearing this, doesn't realize that they are talking about him and Nobby, and is relieved that he isn't like those people they were talking about.

5. Who is the nice prince of Klatch? (Really, not just public opinion)

Answer: Prince Khufurah

Most politicians believe that Prince Cadram is a kind man, and his brother is awful. However, it is the other way around. Prince Cadram wanted his brother assasinated by Snowy Slopes, and wanted Ossie Brunt to take the blame. In the end of the book, Prince Khufurah becomes the ruling Prince, and his brother flees to Klatchistan.

6. What happens to trolls when they go to a hot place?

Answer: They get very stupid

Detritus is against going to Klatch because he doesn't want to be stupid. However, he is only stupid by day, as nights in Klatch are very cold, and cold makes trolls smarter.

7. Who was it who helped Vimes get the last people out of the burning Klatchian embassy?

Answer: 71-hour Ahmed

71-hour Ahmed is a Klatchian police officer. He knew about the plan to kill Khufurah, but wasn't able to stop it. However, since Khufurah didn't die, he managed to get him out of the embassy as it was burning, and had Vimes save the last woman there.

8. Who does 71-hour Ahmed work for? (But betrays)

Answer: Prince Cadram

71-hour Ahmed got his name because he violated the hospitality rule of the D'regs by killing a man one hour before the three days of safety ended, thus, 71 out of 72 hours. He killed him for poisoning a village well, which killed everyone in the village. Ahmed couldn't wait even one hour to punish him for this, so he killed him, getting the name 71-hour Ahmed.

9. Where did the Assassin's Guild originate?

Answer: Klatch

On the Discworld, the word "Assasin" and the Guild originated in Klatch. Ankh-Morpork has the largest branch of the Guild, but it didn't begin there. Genua had once been able to afford the largest branch of the Guild outside of Ankh-Morpork. Lancre is where Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and the other witches live.

10. What name does Nobby use when he is going "undercover" to find out who attempted to kill Prince Khufurah?

Answer: Cecil

Nobby uses the name Cecil and Colon uses the name Frederick. Samuel is Commander Vimes's first name, and Leonard is, of course, Leonard of Quirm.
