Answer: Queen Ynci The Short-Tempered

Only a virgin is capable of capturing a unicorn. And as Mrs. Ogg says, Granny was able to outrun every boy in Lancre.

5. Diamanda challenged Granny to a contest where each of them would have to stare at the sun for as long as they could. How did Granny win?

Answer: She tended to Pewsey when he fell inside the magic circle.

When Pewsey, who was planted by Gytha, fell inside the circle and cried out, Granny looked away from the sun and tended to him. The townspeople then stated that she won, because that was what witchcraft was about.

6. At the beginning of this book Granny could borrow the mind of every animal except bees.

Answer: True

By the end of the novel she managed bees as well, but before, she was unable to borrow the mind of a bee because a swarm together works as one mind.

"We never Sleep" is what's printed there. There are other statements under that, which include; Finest Swordsman, Outrageous Liar, Soldier of Fortune and Stepladders Repaired.

8. How much did Ridcully wind up owing Casanunda after playing Cripple Mr. Onion with him.

Answer: $8,000

9. What did Ridcully do to the bandit who tried to rob their coach?

Answer: He turned him into a pumpkin

He turned him into a pumpkin. Apparently, according to the laws of comedy he still had his hat. Also, Ridcully assured the coachman that it would wear off in a couple hours.

10. What did the Bursar suggest as a remedy when he found out that Ridcully was going bald?

Answer: A mixture of honey and horse manure

The Bursar claimed that his grandfather swore by this mixture. Later on, Ridcully also wears a mouse cage on his head as well, in accordance with other things that the Bursar suggested.
