Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was Ynci the Short Tempered?

Answer: She did not exist

You're probably saying, 'no she did exist', but King Lully I actually invented her to make the history of Lancre more interesting.

2. Who was the child of King Teppicymon and his handmaiden?

Answer: Ptraci

Pteppic was the son of Teppicymon but not his handmaiden. His mother died in a 'boating accident involving crocodiles'.

3. Apart from Gaspode the wonder dog, what suffered from lickey end?

Answer: Pregnant sheep

Not swamp dragons for once, they just suffered from everything else.

4. Who wrote the 'Necrotelicomnicon'?

Answer: Achmed the 'I Just Get These Headaches'

Also called Achmed the Mad, he was responsible for 'Achmed the 'I Just Get These Headaches's' Book of Humorous Cat Stories'.

5. What does Tempscire translate to in English?

Answer: Weatherwax

Yes, there is a reason why Lillith de Tempscire was called that, as she was Granny's sister, she was also a Weatherwax.

6. What was the only known component of dwarf bread?

Answer: Gravel

It was further enhanced by cat urination.

7. Who did Vimes say 'always runs the betting book' in the watch house?

Look to 'The Truth' for that reference.

8. Why was Hide park called Hide park?

Answer: The Size

A Hide was the amount of land which could be ploughed by a man with three-and-one-half oxen on a wet Thursday morning.

9. What was Ankh-Morpork's nickname?

Answer: The Big Wahoonie

It was said that all roads led to Ankh-Morpork, but all roads actually led away from Ankh-Morpork. People just walked down them the wrong way.

10. What name did Grandma Pooney call King Teppicymon XXVII of Djelibebi?

Answer: Pootle

I found it to be a great name, perfectly logical. If you were a God-King of Djelibebi wouldn't you want people to call you Pootle?

11. Which of these did Swamp dragons NOT suffer from?

Answer: Red Bugge

Lancre Cows suffered from Red Bugge.

12. What was a Morpork?

Answer: A small brown owl

That was the reason for the owl holding an Ankh on the city's crest.

Answer: Roderick and Keith

'Mind where you step, the wyvern's been ill.'

14. What was Bloat?

Answer: A poison

It's not hard to guess what it would do to you if the Assassins used it as a garnish on your food. Ick.

15. Who were the four elephants that stood on the back of great A'tuin?

Answer: Great t'phon, Tubul, Berilia, Jerakeen

I know what you are thinking: 'Who were Skillet, Wang, Yrxle!yt and Cwmlad?' They were some of the proprietors of the travelling shop.
