Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the island that appears at the beginning of the book?

Answer: Leshp

This island was discovered by Solid Jackson or Greasy Arif depending on your point of view. What a brilliant idea, an island that rises out of the sea periodically due to a build up of natural gas.
2. In the book we see Ankh Morpork going to war with one of its neighbours. Do you know which one?

Answer: Klatch

Those Towel headed, curry eating, sons of the desert. The ease with which the population turns bloodthirsty, is frightening and not a little reminiscent of the recent past.
3. What is the name of Mr. Goriff's kebab shop that is firebombed?

Answer: Mundane Meals

Mr. Goriff had wanted a word that meant ordinary, everyday, straight-forward, and had asked around until he found one he liked the sound of. Beats McDonalds I guess.
4. What is the name of the man that is set up as the fall guy assassin?

Answer: Ossie Brunt

Poor guy, really thought he was going to assasinate the prince with his sad little bow. Very clever, I wonder if Lee Harvey Oswald thought of that.
5. The real assassin is called this due to his dandruff problem.

Answer: Snowy Slopes

Daceyville Slopes, not an assassin, he just kills people for money. No real style. I guess snobbery exists in all professions.
6. When trying to lighten the boat, to make it travel faster, Sgt. Detritus throws the anchor overboard.

Answer: True

Along with the lifeboat! Good old Detritus... he's my favourite copper. I love the way his brain malfunctions in the heat and requires a cooling helmet. Now there's a patent waiting to be filed.
7. Mr Vimes' unlikely ally in Klatch is called ___ hour Ahmed

Answer: 71

A very interesting man, a cop with his own brand of justice. He sure threw everyone off the scent with his cloves and big turban. I would tell you the mystery behind his name but that would be giving the game away. Go read the book.
8. When corporal Nobbs dresses up in drag his name is...

Answer: Beti

Nobby in harem pants, a truly awful thought. Among the many interesting creatures on Discworld, Nobby is truly one of a kind. Thank God for small mercies.
9. Where in Klatch does the Prince gather his forces?

Answer: Gebra

Found out by none other than corporal Nobbs acting undercover... James Bond he's not! He is told this by the ladies he meets at the well, who taking him to be one of them confide in him. Probably the only time in his life Nobby's been surrounded by women and none of whom are throwing up.
10. And finally, in the end Sam Vimes gets a promotion to Duke.

Answer: True

He only accepts when Lord Vetinari sweetens the pot by rewriting history! There have to be some perks to the job.

Hope you've enjoyed the quiz.
