Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first line of the card carried by Black Ribboners' reads "Help, I have ________ and I can't get up." Which of the following words belongs in the space?

Answer: crumbled

The card is part of the Black Ribboners' kit which also includes a small dustpan and brush, and a phial of animal blood.

2. After the wizards tinker with Vimes' coaches, at what speed does Carrot say "something happens"?

Answer: 13 miles an hour

Carrot says he doesn't know what happens at 13 miles an hour, only that something happens. We find later that plants and livestock explode as the coach passes, that the coach no longer touches the ground, and that the coach steers itself.

3. What product does Angua use to wash her hair?

Answer: Willard Brothers "Good Girl!" Flea Shampoo

She says it brings up the gloss. While Dibbler, Dr Lawn, and Thundergust are all real characters, none of the other products are known in the Discworld.

4. Mr Stronginthearm, of Burleigh & Stronginthearm fame, visits Vimes as part of a dwarven delegation. What is Stronginthearm's first name?

Answer: Pors

Burleigh & Stronginthearm are makers of crossbows.

5. Which of the following is NOT a drink mentioned/consumed during Sally, Angua, Cheery, and Tawneee's night out?

Answer: Squirrel Gravy

Also on menus throughout Ankh-Morpork are "Kick Inna Fork", "Just Sex", "No Brainer" and "Head Nailed to the Door". To the best of my knowledge, there is no drink in existence called Squirrel Gravy.

6. What finally convinces Nobby that Tawneee isn't the girl for him?

Answer: her inability to cook

Nobby is greatly disappointed by Tawneee's attempt at Distressed Pudding. He is not bothered by her name, profession, and vocabulary.

7. Which of the following is NOT a troll drug?

Answer: slumpie

Slumpie is one of the dishes Tawneee attempts to prepare for Nobby. Scrape is made of "slab" mixed with pigeon dropping and alcohol, and is called scrape because it's what you scrape together.

8. A troll may use the word "coprolite" in reference to another troll for whom he has little regard. What is coprolite?

Answer: fossilised fecal matter

Detritus uses the word to describe Chrysoprase, the godfather-like troll who, according to Vimes, runs the biggest pipeline (for troll drugs) in the city. One of the trolls in the almost-riot uses it in reference to Brick who it seems is too thick - or high - to recognise the insult.

9. After their night out, Sally, Angua, and Cheery have a brief conversation about shoes. Whose copper slingbacks does Cheery mention?

Answer: Yan Rockhammer

Jimmy Choo is one of our designers, AE Pessimal is a clerk/inspector for Vetinari, and Gimlet Gimlet is a dwarf restaurateur who specialises in "hole food".

10. What is the name of the PDA-like device which Lady Sybil keeps buying for Vimes, no matter how many he gets rid of?

Answer: Gooseberry

Vimes refuses to read the manual and often tells the imp to "go away and stick your head up a duck's bottom". He detests the gadget until he finds out it can get through all the paperwork he doesn't have time for - provided it's given the right instruction.
