Answer: A Zombie

Answer: Elm Street

Reg lives (not sure if that's the right word) at Mrs Cake's house in Elm Street. he has a pallid skin and wears a "Glad To Be Grey" badge. It is said that his clothes smell like someone has not only died in them but is also still wearing them, which is, of course, true.

9. At present (in this book) the patrician of Ankh-morpork is Havelock Vetinari, but whom did he replace?

Answer: Lord Snapcase

The downfall of Lord Snapcase (known as Mad Lord Snapcase) is mentioned in the book "Interesting Times". He was toppled during a rebellion and hung by his figgins (don't ask). Vetinari then took over, a great believer in democracy (as in, one man, one vote, and he is that man).

10. The Broken/Mended Drum is possibly the most famous drinking house on Discworld, but on which street in Ankh-Morpork, is it located?

Answer: Filigree Street

It was called the "Broken Drum" up until it caught fire after Twoflower (Ankh-Morporks' first tourist) introduced the idea of inn-sewer-ants, in which people paid money against the odds of a disaster happening. The motto of the inn was originally "You can't beat it".

The inn was rebuilt and re-named "The Mended Drum"; then the motto became "You can get beaten". It is said of the Drum, that if you sit there long enough every major hero on Discworld will steal your horse.
