This is my very first quiz here, and an easy one at that. I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan, and so I figured my first quiz should be from one of his "Discworld" books. So I opened the book on ten different pages and picked the questions from that!

Answer: Duke of Pseudopolis

We discover this when Nobby shows off his extensive knowledge of weapons in the armory. Of course, as Sergeant Colon points out, Pseudopolis lost all its wars, then asks Nobby who he sold the weapons to. Nobby replies that they just spent a lot of time away being polished and sharpened - about one hundred percent of the time actually.

5. How did Gaspode become a talking dog?

9. Who is the most dangerous man on the Disc?

From Quiz 'Men At Arms' Random Questions

Answer: Leonard of Quirm

Leonard was cursed with intelligence and inspirations and a fascination with the world. Other world leaders may have killed Leonard, but Vetinari considered him so perfect of his type that he was hard to destroy. Instead he locked him in a room in the Palace, provided him with food and materials and let him tinker away, oblivious to the outside world other than Vetinari's occasional visits. He has never in his entire life harmed a living creature. It is his ideas that are dangerous because he can innocently design a machine of incredible military cruelty in the margins of a drawing of the beauty of the human smile. (But of course nobody would ever dare to actually build it.)

Having determined that there was an irreperable breakdown of law and order and having been asked for assistance by an officer of the city who is a citizen in good standing, he re-formed the Night Watch into a city militia according to the "Laws and Ordinances of Ankh-Morpork". The officer at the Armory ignores Carrot's request for entry, but when Nobby approaches and says he is an Auditor, they get in.
