Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which Guild did the moving pictures begin?

Answer: Alchemist's Guild

Thomas Silverfish was the president of the Alchemist's Guild.

2. What confectionery did Peavie invent?

Answer: Banged Grains

According to Silverfish they taste like cardboard, yet somehow you just can't help taking another handful.

3. Who did Detritus fall in love with?

Answer: Ruby

It is believed to have been her influence which made Detritus become the City Watch's first troll guard. Diamanda was the leader of a coven of young girls in Bad Ass, ( until Granny Weatherwax found out that is ) Serafine is Angua's mother, and Eskarina of course was the Disc's first female wizard.

4. What screen name did Ginger adopt?

Answer: Delores De Syn

Theda Withel is Ginger's real name.

5. What was unusual about Gaspode the Wonder Dog?

Answer: He could talk

Smells like an old privy carpet and has a fine collection of doggy diseases, including Licky End. Sleeping against the walls of the High Energy Magic Building at the Unseen University where magic constantly seeped out was responsible for Gaspode's ability to talk.

6. What click was being shown in Ankh-Morpork?

Answer: Blown Away

'A Passionate Saga Set Against the Background of a World Gone Mad!
This Will Amaze You!
With a Thousand Elephants!'
( Quote taken from the front sleeve of the book )

7. What was the name of the place that the moving pictures were filmed?

Answer: Holy Wood

Legend has it there was a city here once that was destroyed by the gods for unspeakable crimes.
Fir Wood Studios and Floating Bladder Pictures were production companies. Vinebud Studios is just a figment of my imagination.

8. When Victor and Ginger discovered the old cinema, who did Ginger say the sleeping man reminded her of?

Answer: Uncle Oswald

Even though she only saw her Uncle Oswald once. At his funeral.

9. When the giant Ginger was scaling the Tower of Art, who was she clutching in her hand?

Answer: The Librarian

The librarian of the Unseen University was transformed from a human to an orang-utan by a magical accident and has refused all attempts to change him back again. Even if you are not familiar with any of the Discworld novels you cannot fail to see the parody in this sketch.

10. Before getting into the moving pictures business, what was Ginger's previous occupation?

Answer: Milkmaid

Her current whereabouts or her occupation are unknown at present, although it's believed they no longer involve livestock.
