24. We finally reach the Tower, but it is guarded by the Crimson King. After a fierce battle, Roland finally reaches the end of his quest. He would have failed had it not been for this artist and his amazing power.

Answer: Patrick

Patrick has no tongue thanks to Dandelo, but he makes up for his lack of speech with the most amazing power. He can draw anything, and it will happen. He helps Susannah get rid of her cancer by simply drawing a picture of her and erasing the mole. It is thanks to him erasing the Crimson King (all but his eyes) that Roland is able to send him to safety and enter the tower.
25. Through it all, one number has been one of the most important aspects of the quest. To end this quiz, what number comes up over and over again? It is also the number of the Tet.

Answer: 19

Ninteen is the number of almost everything. It is on the page just before the book begins in each one. 1999 turned out to be the most important year. I will not ruin more, for I have ruined enough. I only hope you enjoyed my quiz; if haven't read the books yet, then you have no right to read them since you've let me ruin most of it for you.
