Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Blanche was a young witch that could turn her nose what color?

Answer: Blue

By concentrating Blanche could make her nose glow blue and by concentrating very hard she could make it glow very brightly.

2. Since Blanche's nose was very special she was able to become a member of what special scurry of witches?

Answer: Scurry No. 13

It was quite an honor for Blanche to belong to Scurry No. 13, because it was famous across the nation for its beautiful flight formation.

3. Blanche was always running late, so both Blanche and her friend Josephine did what, to make sure Blanche would be on time for the Halloween night flight meeting at Blind Man's Bluff?

Answer: Set Blanche's alarm clock ahead

Blanche set the alarm clock ahead 1 1/2 hours plus a little more not knowing that Josephine had already set it ahead 2 hours. By adding 1 1/2 hours plus a little more + 2 hours together the sum equals 3 1/2 hours plus a little more. This means that Blanche's alarm clock went off and woke her up more than 3 1/2 hours earlier than she normally would have gotten up.

4. Blanche and her black cat Brockett were flying on the way to the Halloween meeting by 8:30 P.M., so why did they decide to stop and land their broom?

Answer: Blanche thought she saw Josephine walking with a group of people

The group of trick-or-treaters that Blanche thought Josephine was walking with included: a witch, a pirate, a cowboy, a gypsy, and three ghosts. What a good idea they had to go out together, because it's always safer and more fun to trick-or-treat with a group of friends.

The cowboy was especially smart, because he brought a pumpkin light so everyone could see. Bet you're smart, too and won't forget your flashlight this Halloween : )

5. After landing her broom (to see why Josephine was walking) Blanche realized that the witch was not Josephine, but she did not realize that the group of children were in costumes doing what?

Answer: Trick-or-treating

In Blanche's life the individuals she knew really were witches or ghosts or even just wore or did unusual things, so it never crossed her mind that the trick-or-treaters were children dressed up for Halloween.

6. The last house that Blanche and the trick-or-treaters visited belonged to Old Man Skinner who had the best apples in town, but why were they unsure about going there?

Answer: Old Man Skinner was mean

Old Man Skinner was mean to children and falsely accused them of taking fruit from his trees. He also hit one of the ghost's dogs with a rock last summer when they were taking a shortcut across his property. Another ghost had seen Old Man Skinner shooting his slingshot at birds he said were eating his cherries.

7. After giving Blanche and the trick-or-treaters rotten apples and slamming the door on them, what did Blanche's black cat Brockett do?

Answer: Jumped on Skinner's windowsill and scratched the screen and yowled.

Any type of rotten food tastes bad, because it is bad for you to eat it and it will make you sick. Make sure an adult (like your Mom or Dad) checks the fruit, candy, and food in your trick-or-treat bag before you eat any to make sure it's good to eat. DR.NO is here to tell you from experience that finding half a worm in an apple is definitely worse than finding a whole one!

8. When Old Man Skinner ran out of the house and started chasing the trick-or-treaters and shooting at them with rocks from his slingshot what did Blanche do?

Answer: Blanche did all of these things

Old Man Skinner, on seeing the smoke, stopped chasing the trick-or-treaters and ran back inside his home to see what had happened.

9. After saying goodnight to the trick-or-treaters Blanche and Brockett stopped to visit one more house for treats. Why did the lady who owned this house scream after giving Blanche her treats?

Answer: She saw Blanche jump on her broom with Brockett and fly away

There was a party at this last house and the people were very generous with treats and filled Blanche's bag with pretzels, salted nuts, pumpkin seeds, and chocolate mints. Blanche winked her nose for all the guests several times and received many complements about her witch's outfit before she realized it was time to leave for the Halloween night flight meeting.

10. After flying with her scurry Blanche told them about her trick-or-treating experience and not only offered to take them with her next year, but also did what?

Answer: Shared her treats

Even though Blanche tried very hard to be on time she was a little late for the Halloween night flight meeting at Blind Man's Bluff. Somehow though I believe that she'll be out early with her friends to trick-or-treat this Halloween, so make sure you keep an eye out for her.
