Men At Arms Trivia Quiz

This is my very first quiz here, and an easy one at that. I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan, and so I figured my first quiz should be from one of his "Discworld" books. So I opened the book on ten different pages and picked the questions from that!

A multiple-choice quiz by Hildegunn. Estimated time: 2 mins.

Answer: A ring

The ring is proof that Carrot is the rightful heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork.

2. How did Gaspode become a talking dog?

Answer: He spent his nights too close to the High Energy Magic building at the Unseen University

Gaspode suffers from -in his own words- "chronic intelligence". He is not overly pleased with the situation.

3. Who is the most dangerous man on the Disc?

Leonard da Quirm is brilliant in every way, except for thinking up names for his inventions. They usually end up being excruciatingly long and completely useless.

4. Who was the first person to be shot by the Gonne?

Answer: Bjorn Hammerhock

Chubby is the dragon that gets blown up in the Assassins Guild, Dr. Cruces is the Head of the Assassins Guild, and Big Fido is a crazy street-thug poodle.

Answer: In smells

Lance-Constable Angua is the only werewolf in the City Watch, and -eventually- Captain Carrot's girlfriend.

6. What happens to Detritus when he gets locked into the warehouse?

Answer: He gets smarter

It turns out that trolls get smarter and smarter the colder it gets. The warmer it is around them, the slower they think and act.

7. What's the name of the Captain of the Day Watch?

Answer: Captain Quirke

By some called Mayonnaise Quirke, as he is "slick, thick and oily". Also, he smells faintly of eggs.

8. What kind of dog is Big Fido?

Big Fido is the leader of a pack of stray dogs that are terrorizing the streets and alleys of Ankh-Morpork. He is as crazy as they come.

9. Who in the Watch is a werewolf?

Answer: The Patrician's Palace

Bloody Stupid Johnson was a great inventor with a way of thinking that was somewhat askew. For instance, he apparently felt that accurate measurements were something that happened to other people.
