Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Mrs. Pleasant call Ella?

Answer: Emberella

As we learn when Magrat is talking to Ella, Mrs. Pleasant calls her Emberella because she thinks it sounds jolly. She and Magrat think it sounds like something you put up in the rain.

2. Why is the mountain where the witches meet called Bear Mountain?

Answer: Because there are few trees and the name was misspelled

The mountain was supposed to be called Bare Mountain because of the lack of trees. However, the name was misspelled and no one fixed it because the natives could sell bear products to wealthy hunters looking for bears. There are really no bears anywhere on the mountain.

3. What are the sisters?

Answer: Snakes that have become human

The sisters are Lilith's snake women, as Granny finds out when she's in the crowd at the thief's beheading. She knew what they were as she had encountered the minds of snakes in the forest before. However, she had never found them walking on two legs.

4. What animal ate Granny's hat?

Answer: An alligator

Granny's hat was eaten by an alligator, which she then attacked with a snake. She refused to let Saturday go after it, so Mrs. Gogol gave her a hat with fruit all over it.

5. Who is the victim of Granny's lack of skill at dancing?

Answer: Colonel Moutarde

We must pity the Colonel, as Granny's boots cripple his feet, and she insists on leading the dance.

6. How do Granny, Nanny, and Magrat get rid of the coach?

Answer: Turn it into a pumpkin

Nanny wanted to smash it up, but Granny said that it would make too much noise, so Magrat turned it into a pumpkin. Lilith later turned it into a pumpkin coach.

7. How did Granny learn to play Cripple Mister Onion really well?

Answer: When Old Mother Dismass was sick she stayed with her and played Cripple Mister Onion every night

As Granny says:

"'You sit up every night dealing Cripple Mister Onion with someone who's got a detached retina in her second sight and you soon learn how to play'"

8. How many times does the Narrator try to say that there is no sound in the castle?

Answer: 3

The Narrator tries to say that there was no sound in the castle three times. The witches interrupt every time.

9. Mrs. Gogol creates gods.

Answer: True

Mrs. Gogol creates gods whenever she needs their services. She creates four just to strengthen Saturday's coat.

10. What falls on Nanny's head when they're walking the yellow brick road?

Answer: A farmhouse

After the farmhouse falls on her head, Nanny starts to feel a little homesick because people don't drop farmhouses on your head in Lancre.
