Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Cuddy

(Troll + dwarf): 2 = 2 guys of normal size

2. Imagine Lance-constable Detritus went on a journey to Earth. Which of the following environments would be most likely to transform him into a troll equivalent of Albert Einstein?

Answer: Antarctica

The warmer it gets, the slower a troll's brain works. Sad (in the case of a guy like Detritus, hanging around in Ankh-Morpork mostly) but true.

3. Which particular substance in the makeup of trolls is it that reacts to temperature changes?

Answer: Silicon

Don't ask me why...

4. Try to picture Detritus on the job, his physical appearance, general outfit. Which movie title does not refer- at least partly- to an aspect of this image?

Answer: Ruby

Detritus, the movie star: body made of rock, teeth of diamonds, peacemaker always within reach...

5. So, who or what is the Piecemaker anyway?

Answer: Crossbow

The piecemaker's around? Run!

6. Which could be a typical Detritus utterance?

Answer: Dere's dem dwarfs!

For the very curious: 'Vot vas zat' was originally uttered by a wolf lady as a reaction to the little dog Gaspode's pick-up line 'Yo, bitch', 'Thauthageth or thwinefleth?' clearly bears the trace of an Igor, an Uberwald house servant, and 'Oo oo oo ont?' is gargoylean for 'Who do you want?' - a permanently motionless mouth simply isn't much good at talking...

7. According to trolls' traditional counting techniques, what's the result of many-many-one minus three?

Answer: many-two

Goes like this: one, two, three, many, many-one, many-two, many-three, many-many, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, many-many-many, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, LOTS

8. Which of the following could possibly stop a raging Detritus?

Answer: The command: salute!

Hand to head, stone to stone, problem.

9. What was Detritus' excuse for pushing a man through a wall?

Answer: The pushing had been done with tact.

It was quite a fin wall. Really.

10. Very old troll oath, very famous, very traditional ( transferred into first person singular):

Answer: I'm gonna get my goohuloog head kicked in if I don't join up and do what I'm told

So much for volunteering for the job.
