Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What did Didactylos write?

Answer: De Chelonian Mobile

Didactylos is a blind Ephebian philosopher who carries an unlit lantern.
He wrote "De Chelonian Mobile" also known as "The Turtle Moves" which explains how Discworld is flat and carried on the back of the Great A'Tuin.
Ironically, the Omnian rebels used it as a symbol of the Truth (that is, something that the Church doesn't like).

2. Which one of these is not a god?

Answer: Ossory

Tuvelpit is the Epehebian God of Wine.
Blind Io is the chief of Gods.
Astoria is the Goddess of Love.
Ossory is just a prophet.

3. Which one of these was not a curse by Om?

Answer: Go to Hell!

"Turn into a mud leech and wither in the fires of retribution!" was directed at Brutha.
"The devils of infinity fill your living bones with sulphur!" was directed to Lu-Tze.
"Writhe on the spikes of damnation!" was directed to Brother Nhumrod.
"Go to Hell!" was something I made up.

4. Who is Cubal?

Answer: The Fire God

Flatulus is the Goddess of Wind.
Fedecks is the Messenger of Gods.
Foorgol is the God of Avalanches.

5. What is the unwritten motto of the Quisition?

Answer: Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum

"Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum" means: When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.
"Quanti Canicula ille in fenestra?" is the motto of the city of Ankh-Morpork, it means: How much is that doggy in the window?
"Nunc id vides, nunc ne vides" is the motto of the Unseen University, it means: Now you see it, now you don't.
"Non temetis messor" is the motto of the Sto Helit family, it means: Do not fear the reaper.

6. What is St. Ungulant's full name?

Answer: Sevrian Thaddeus Ungulant

St. Ungulant is a hermit. He has an invisible friend named Angus and he is the friend of all small gods everywhere.

7. How long would Om try out Constitutional Religion?

Answer: 100 years

Since the other sort didn't work out, Om agreed to try out a Constitutional Religion for 100 years. 100 years later, in the exact same day, Brutha died.

8. How much did Didactylos owe Om?

Answer: fifty-two obols

The philosophers bet that the tortoise they saw before their eyes wouldn't be able to draw geometric shapes on the ground. Too bad they didn't know that the tortoise is Om. Om went on with it until they reached dodecagon.

9. Who did Fasta Benj worship?

Answer: P'Tang P'Tang

Fasta Benj and his people worshipped a newt god by the name P'Tang P'Tang. They have never seen any metal or fire before. They also believed that there are only 51 people in the world.

10. What did Ibid write?

Answer: Discourses

"Reflections" was written by Xeno.
"On Religion" was written by Abraxas.
"Platitudes" was written by Aristocrates.
Ibid wrote "Discourses", and Didactylos thought it was bloody stupid.
