Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What Guild in Ankh-Morpork was Teppic sent to?

Answer: Assassin's Guild

The most important thing to remember here is, it's not how many people you inhume, but how many fail to inhume you.

2. Who was the High Priest in Djelibeybi?

Answer: Dios

Didactylos was an Ephebian philosopher, Dil was an embalmer of kings in Djelibeybi and Dryad is actually the name of a tree dwelling species on the Disc.

3. In what timescale was Ptaclusp expected to build the dead king's pyramid?

Answer: Three months

Even in his panic, Ptaclusp managed to grumble under his breath that Tsort wasn't built in a day...

4. Between which empires does Djelibeybi lie?

Answer: Tsort and Ephebe

Djelibeybi is two miles wide and one hundred and fifty miles long, situated between the stronger empires of Tsort and Ephebe. Al Khali is the capital city of Klatch, a continent between the Circle Sea and the Rim Ocean, while Bhangbhangduc is a small island in the Agatean Sea.

5. For what reason was Ptraci brought before Teppic as he held supreme court?

Answer: She refused to take the potion

Ptraci was reportedly the favourite handmaiden of Teppic's father, the late King Teppicymon XXVII. It is customary in Djelibeybi for a dead king to take servants into the netherworld with him but Ptraci was having none of it.

6. After rescuing Ptraci from her cell, where did Teppic tell her to hide?

Answer: In a mummy case

Teppic led Ptraci to the embalmer's workshops, where he chose a mummy casket for her to hide in until he came back for her.

7. What relation of Teppic did Ptraci turn out to be?

Answer: His half sister

The late king wished he could have married her mother but couldn't, as she wasn't royal.

8. Who discovered Djelibeybi and founded its dynasty?

Answer: Khuft

He discovered it quite by accident while fleeing into the desert to avoid upset purchasers of his rather sub-standard camels.

9. To King Teppicymon XXVII, what is Queen Far-re-ptah more affectionately known as?

Answer: Grandma Pooney

The first ancestor King Teppicymon XXVII and Dil freed from one of the many pyramids.

10. Who eventually became the new ruler of Djelibeybi?

Answer: Ptraci

After discovering that Ptraci was indeed his half sister, Teppic renounced his throne. The high priests thought she would be easy to manipulate. They got it dead wrong.

Thanks for playing!
