Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let us commence then. The day seems just perfect for our quest. The toves gyre and gimble and the time is right to go as it is really...

Answer: Brillig

"`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:"
As Humpty Dumpty puts it '"Brillig" means four o'clock in the afternoon--the time when you begin broiling things for dinner.'

2. Now, it's not easy to affright or dishearten us. But wait! Have you observed that something outgrabe? What might that be?

Answer: Mome raths

"All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
If you are curious `Well, a "rath" is a sort of green pig: but "mome" I'm not certain about. I think it's short for "from home"--meaning that they'd lost their way, you know.'

3. Nah, it's nothing. The true foe is not here yet. But it's not only the Jabberwock that we must beware of. There is a peculiarly dangerous species of a bird that we may encounter. And it is...

Answer: Jubjub bird

"'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird,"

4. As if that wasn't plenty there is also the Bandersnatch concealed somewhere, the Bandersnatch which is so unbelievably...

Answer: Frumious

"and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'"

5. That's of course not enough to prevent us. Let us take the sword and off we go, forgetting the fears. But be careful! It can't be just any sword. Let it be really...

Answer: Vorpal

"He took his vorpal sword in hand:"

Answer: Tumtum tree

"Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought."

7. I know it's not an ideal moment for botanical delights but have you at least noticed that that this is a... wood?

Answer: Tulgey

"And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,"

8. I know you are completely engrossed in the uffish thoughts but watch out! Can you see those flaming eyes? It must be him, it must be the Jabberwock, not only whiffling but also...

Answer: Burbling

"And burbled as it came!"

Answer: Head

"One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head"

10. A good choice, I'm sure. No need to linger here, let's return. Now, what can't you just resist on this way, honestly?

Answer: Galumphing

"He went galumphing back."

11. Not that I'm really surprised, who would resist it being in your shoes? Now, just imagine how the old man is going to jump and... in his joy!

Answer: Chortle

"'And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!"

12. He's so proud of you and no wonder. I'm sure you will agree that thanks to your feat this day is truly...

Answer: Frabjous

"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy."

13. After having completed the quest the world looks different, doesn't it? For example this gyring and gimbling - you would almost call it cheerful. Where did it take place, by the way?

Answer: In the wabe

"`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;"
'And "the wabe" is the grass-plot round a sun-dial, I suppose?' said Alice, surprised at her own ingenuity.
`Of course it is. It's called "wabe," you know, because it goes a long way before it, and a long way behind it--'
`And a long way beyond it on each side,' Alice added.'

14. Now, being less preoccupied with dangers you can even discern that the borogoves are...

Answer: Mimsy

"All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
And again Humpty Dumpty's explanation: 'Well, then, "mimsy" is "flimsy and miserable" (there's another portmanteau for you). And a "borogove" is a thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round-- something like a live mop.'

15. You haven't had a chance to speak yet and it's you who's the hero of a day. Come on, express your joy. What is the joyous exclamation that you should utter?

Answer: Callooh Callay

And let me raise 'Callooh! Callay!' in your honor, chivalric lover of nonsensical poetry!
