Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the ChronoGuard representative to "The Adrian Lush Show"?

Answer: Captain Marat

"The Adrian Lush Show" was the number one rated (Wednesday's show) and number two rated show (Monday's show) in England, during September 1985.

2. Where does Spike want to work, if and when they can sideslip vampires and werewolves?

Answer: SommeWorld

Spike often mentions that he would love to start working at SommeWorld. We also learn about Cindy, and Spike starts to figure out how to come clean about his profession.

3. What book does Thursday first suggest as one of the ten most boring classics to Granny Next?

Answer: Edmund Spenser's "Faerie Queene"

In an anachronistic scene, in "Something Rotten" we learn that Faerie Queene is the book that Granny Next has not read, and thus is the book that lets her 'shuffle her mortal coil'.

4. Why did Stiggins not remember Thursday?

Answer: Landen's eradication

Due to the eradication of Landen, Stiggins and Thursday would have never met at the wedding party in "The Eyre Affair".

5. Who is Thursday's boyfriend after Landen's eradication?

Answer: She does not have one

Although Thursday worries about it, we later find out that Miles is actually Joffy's partner and is neither Thursday's boyfriend nor the father of her child.

6. What is the most-read book of all time?

Answer: To Kill a Mockingbird

When Thursday talks to the Cheshire Cat, she asks about which book was the most-read. The Cat answers, saying that it was the only book that translated well into Arthropod, and cracking the Lobster market is what gets you in. The Cat also mentions that Farquitt novels are in the running for the same reason.

7. What shape did Jekyll force the four-hundred-year-old oak into?

Answer: Heart

When Thursday and her father are attempting to get Landen back they back jump by six months. Her father then accelerates time; during the acceleration the roots of the trees begin growing around their legs.

8. According to Millon De Floss, how much money did Poe earn from "The Raven"?

Answer: $9.00

At the beginning of chapter 28, Millon is talking about how much fame and cash are inversely related. How when you have a lot of fame there is little cash. Millon goes on to use Poe as the best analogy for his case.

9. What gift does Thursday's father give to her?

Answer: His chronograph

When the dream topping incident is about to come to an end with Thursday committing suicide, her father shows up and saves the day. He takes the dream topping and goes back in time to plant the seeds of photosynthesis and start life on Earth. What a way to go.

10. Which was the first of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" to be removed?

Answer: The Merchant's Wife

One of the items at jurisfiction session number 40311, the first that Thursday attends, is the problem with losing chapters from Chaucer. Deane is the agent assigned to look into it.
