Exclamation Let's have a Quick Quiz - Answers. - 10-05-2008, 19:06

It looks like I set a real toughie for most of you this time.
I'm not posting the scores from the PM's I got, I'll just say that the answers people put forward were correct, even if there weren't many answered.

So to put everyone out of their misery here they are...

1 - Situated in Ankh-Morpork, what is the Gritz?
Its a troll hotel (Soul Music)

2 - Which vegetable typically reaches twenty feet in length, is the colour of earwax and is covered in spikes and smells like an anteater that's eaten a very bad ant?
A Wahoonie. (Moving Pictures)

3 - We all know the Bursar. But what is his name?
Dr A. A. Dinwiddie

4 - Who is Mr. Brown?
The locksmith, employed by Teatime in the Hogfather.

You buggers, trying to confuse an old man. You kept insisting Mister Brown was a name adopted by one of the Auditors in The Thief of Time.
Sorry, I checked and to quote pTerry… 'Mr Jeremy, these are my... associates,' she said. 'Mr Black. Mr Green. Miss Brown. Miss White. Miss... Yellow. And Mr Blue.'

5 - Who was Lettuce Knibbs?
Lady's maid to Queen Molly of the Beggars' Guild (Men at Arms)

6 - What was the name of the ratcatcher at the Opera House?
Mr Pounder. (Maskerade)

7 - Who taught witching to Granny Weatherwax?
Gammer Tumult and possibly Nanny Gripes (Equal Rites)

8 - What was the name of Mort's father?
Just to put everyone out of their misery in trying to recollect… Lezek (Mort)

9 - Who was Zebbo Mooty?
He was a thief, third class, who was killed by the dragon in Guards! Guards!

10 - What position did Big Fido hold in the Dogs' Guild?
Chief Barker. (Men at Arms)


Well done everybody. I promise the next time I set a few questions they won't be so in-depth. (probably)



I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

And the worst thing is, as you read the answers, you find yourself nodding, thinking, yes, I remember that...why the heck couldn't I have remembered that when he posted the darned quiz!


May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

OMG. I totally knew the title was Chief Barker, but thought, "Nah, that sounds too easy." Heh.
