Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which book does Vimes first meet his future wife, Lady Sybil Ramkin?

Answer: Guards! Guards!

Vimes meets her in "Guards! Guards!" when she asks him to help her mate a pair of dragons. He thinks she's talking about a nobleman with a bad performance problem.

2. How does Angua suspect Carrot is trying to court her?

Answer: Giving her the city

Carrot frequently takes her for walks and describes things as though he were 'three tours rolled into one'.

3. Which character is the self-proclaimed 'second greatest lover' on the Disc?

Answer: Casanunda

"But I try harder.."

4. At the end of "Thief of Time", what kind of chocolate is Susan eating when Lobsang stops time and summons her from her classroom?

Answer: Nougat

"Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment."

5. Victor and Ginger, always playing the romantic leads in Holy Wood's movies, each have fancy stage names. What are they?

Answer: Delores De Syn and Victor Maraschino

Possibly the laziest man in the world and an ex-milkmaid from a small town no one's ever heard of, briefly the two most famous and desired people on the Discworld, and certainly in the clicks.

6. Before Carrot left the mountain, he had a young dwarf girlfriend. What was her name?

Answer: Minty

Of course, Carrot was sent away to live with humans after hitting puberty at what, for dwarves, is about playgroup age. He hasn't seen her since.

7. King Verence and Queen Magrat of Lancre first met in "Wyrd Sisters". What occupation did Verence hold at the time?

Answer: Fool

An occupation leaving him with a very depressing and cynical view on the world.

8. First meeting in "Mort" were Susan's parents, Death's Apprentice Mort and Ysabell. What relation was Ysabell to the anthropomorphic personification?

Answer: Adopted Daughter

Death got curious, and so saved the life of a young girl, raising her in his own land. Realising she needed someone to talk to, he took on an apprentice of about the same age. They hated each other from the start, and everyone knows what that means.

9. Goodmountain was one of the first dwarves to go into the printing business in "The Truth". Which dwarf is it that he wanted to start up a mine with when they had the money for marriage?

Answer: Boddony

William gets rather puzzled, as he doesn't understand the dwarvish tradition to 'buy' the other dwarf from their parents. He also gets a bit confused because to him, both Boddony and Goodmountain appear male.

10. Archchancellor Ridcully, on the coach on the way to Lancre, tells a story of the girl he once loved. What word does he use to describe her when young Stibbons asks if she was pretty?

Answer: Striking

"No, I can't say she was. Striking. That's the word." Later, it turns out that the young woman he loved was none other than Granny Weatherwax.
