Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the trophy that Billy William the Third keeps in his shop window?

Answer: England's Most Revolting Butcher

The award reads as follows:

"Awarded to Billy William for the twentieth year running, in fact just keep the trophy forever - you always win, there's no point having the competition, you really are disgusting."

2. Friday O'Leary meets some ghosts at the Ghost Train. One of them, called Pickles, gives Friday its email address. What is it?

Answer: picklestheghost@notveryalive.com

All the ghosts that Polly and Friday met at the Ghost Train were very friendly.

3. Polly met Friday in the town square under a historic statue. Which one?

Answer: Some Old Bloke From Ages Ago On A Horse

Don't think the Duke of Wellington had a twin brother. Mary Poppins and Peter Rabbit feature in great stories but seem unlikely for statues.

4. At the end of the book there are various lists of facts about some of the characters. Which of these was a little known fact about Old Granny?

Answer: She can't speak Russian

Old Granny is said to be the oldest woman in Lamonic Bibber but I don't think she's as old as 5,000...

5. How tall is Alan Taylor - the Gingerbread Man?

Answer: 15.24cms

Although made of Gingerbread, Alan Taylor has electric muscles. Now that's clever.

6. Mr Gum and Billy William's partner in crime was a man called Monsieur Bellybutton. What was his claim to fame?

Answer: Smelliest man alive

Monsieur Bellybutton was said to be so niffy you could smell him all the way from Paris.

7. When Alan Taylor has his money returned he announces that he will turn his giant mansion into a school with a very worthy cause. What is the name?

Answer: Saint Pterodactyl's School For the Poor

The townspeople were so excited to hear this news they exclaimed "Fair enough".

8. Monsieur Bellybutton gets scared by Jake the Giant Dog and screams in slow motion "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNON". This is French. What is the equivalent in English ?

Answer: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNO

Monsieur Bellybutton fell into the sea and had the first bath of his entire life!

9. The ingenuous Mr Gum had made a powerful telescope to look out to sea. What was it made of?

Answer: A jar of mustard, a rolled up magazine and a powerful telescope

Mr Gum uses the telescope to spot the arrival of Monsieur Bellybutton on the horizon but due to a shift in the wind direction they can tell he's coming because of his smell...

10. There was a Bouncy Castle at Boaster's Hill which was very popular with the children. Who or what was it made of?

Answer: Jonathan Ripple's enormous belly

Poor old Jonathan Ripples. He was just having an afternoon nap. Martin Launderette was playing a trick on him as usual.
