Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What do you call a female Igor?

Answer: An Igorina

The Igor in Monstrous Regiment is really an Igorina. Because of this, the Igors don't think she should be a surgeon. In the end, however, Igorina opened a store and became a surgeon for women.
2. "Wazzer" can speak to the duchess.

Answer: True

"Wazzer" (really Alice) can speak to the deceased Duchess, who can move ideas in your head, but nothing large. Nuggan is nothing but a voice, he has faded away. The Duchess speaks through Alice, and promotes Jackrum to Sergeant Major.
3. Which of these did Nuggan not Abominate? (Not mentioned in the book as an Abomination, anyway. After all, Nuggan will soon have Abominated everything.)

Answer: The Army

Nuggan Abominated chocolate, garlic, cats, dwarfs, the color blue (as well as the sky), oysters, babies, barking dogs, shirts with six buttons, cheese, women dressing as men (and vice versa), the smell of beets, people with red hair, and growing root crops on ground which had ever had wheat or peas growing on it.

As you can tell, Nuggan is quite mad. These are only the things mentioned in the book, so there are many more.
4. Sergeant Jackrum knew that his squad was at least mostly female.

Answer: True

Jackrum had trained many women over the years, and had made a habit of spotting them and helping them out. He couldn't tell about Maladict(a) or Carborandum (really Jade), because who can tell with vampires and trolls?
5. What is the name of the lieutenant in charge of the Monstrous Regiment?

Answer: Lieutenant Blouse

Lieutenant Blouse is a man who has never been in battle before. He is good enough at pretending to be female to fool men, but women can tell immediately. It is actually Sergeant Jackrum, not lieutenant, and he is also in the Monstrous Regiment. He is not, however, the leading officer.

As for Strappi, he pretends to be a corporal although he is really a captain so that he can spy on the regiment and Jackrum. Froc is really the General in charge of the army.
6. What does the army call soup?

Answer: Scubbo

The army calls soup scubbo, and it is not very good. To everyone's amazement, Lieutenant Blouse actually likes army food. The regiment believes that he is crazy.
7. True or False: Lieutenant Blouse gets mad when he hears that the regiment were really women.

Answer: False

Blouse takes the news quite well. He is glad to have led them, and tells them about many historical and contemporary female warriors. Polly is surprised that he takes it so well, because women dressing as men (and vice versa) is an Abomination unto Nuggan.
8. What is the nickname for the Ins-and-Outs?

Answer: The Cheesemongers

The name comes from a folk song where a member of the Ins-and-Outs steals some cheese.
9. Where does Sergeant Jackrum's son live?

Answer: Scritz

Scritz is the Borogravian town where Jackrum's son is a blacksmith. Slice is in Lancre. Ankh-Morpork is quite far away from Borogravia, and Zlobenia is at war with Borogravia, making these choices incorrect.
10. What is the name of the Prince of Zlobenia?

Answer: Prince Heinrich

Prince Heinrich is the not-so-nice Prince of Zlobenia. Khufurah is the nice Prince of Klatch. Cadram is the mean Prince of Klatch. Vimes is a Duke and the Commander of the Ankh-Morpork Watch.
