Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the Guilds is the oldest and the richest?

Answer: Beggars

The Beggars Guild actually predates the current Guild System. It is the richest because no self respecting beggar would buy anything he could get for nothing.

2. Which Guild was attended by Lord Vetinari in his youth?

Answer: Assassins

In 'Night Watch' we meet Vetinari as a youth. He is a trainee Assassin at the same time as the current Master of Assassins, Lord Downey.

3. Which of the Guilds could be described thus: No motto; no building; no coat of arms, not even a little tartan one?

Answer: Dogs

The Dog Guild is led by the Chief Barker and membership is conditional on the dog having run away from his or her owner. The Guild controls breeding permissions, scavenging rights and barking and howling duties. Gaspode is, of course, a member.

4. Many of the Guilds have enforcers to ensure Guild rules are strictly followed. What are the names of the enforcers of the Guild of Seamstresses?

Answer: Sadie and Dotsie

Otherwise known as The Agony Aunts. After they finish with you, a night in the scorpion pit will seem like a rest. Rosie is Rosie Palm, the Guild President. Sandra is a seamstress, no a real one, with needle and thread. The Jolly Good Pals are the enforcers of the Guild of Fools.

5. Which of the Guilds can count the current King of Lancre amongst its old boys?

Answer: Fools Guild

The current King of Lancre is one Verence II. Before he was 'promoted' he was the court fool. He became King because his half brother, Tomjon, gave it up to carry on being an actor.

6. The Guild of Thieves is next door to the Guild of Fools and Joculators and College of Clowns.

Answer: False

The building next to the Fools' Guild is the Assassins. It was because of this that Beano the Fool met his untimely end at the hands of Edward d'Eath, in 'Men at Arms'

7. Which is the smallest of the recognised Guilds?

Answer: Dibblers

The C.M.O.T Dibblers' Guild has a membership of 1, namely Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler. It was founded under ancient rules, which were changed almost immediately after Dibbler found them and got full Guild Status. The Guild of Victims has not yet been granted full Guild rights.

The Firefighters' Guild was outlawed by the Patrician because of 'insurance' problems. The Guild members were selling it. Since the disbandment the incidence of fires has dropped dramatically.

8. Membership in the Guild of Strippers is restricted to humans.

Answer: False

There are no dwarf members, a dwarf will only remove an item of clothing in the direst emergancy, but there is a small troll section. Because of their habit of normally going around almost naked, troll strippers actually put clothes on. This usually causes a riot as the fourth overcoat goes on.

9. The Thieves Guild runs a service whereby you are guaranteed to be free from licensed thief activity for a specified period. What is the name given to this service?

Answer: Platinum Badge

The Special $100 Platinum Badge gives complete immunity from all guild activity for 13 months for up to a family of five. The badge on the wall of your house shows that you have 'made it'. The Fearnaught is the budget $10 service, and comes with a free first aid kit.

10. What is the name of the head of the Guild of Fools?

Answer: Dr Whiteface

Fools may come, and Fools may go, but there is always a Dr Whiteface.
Dr Whiteface is the clown that all other clowns are frightened of.
