Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The national anthem of Jinsy goes: 'Island of Silt and sand, trees and grass and' -what?

Answer: tilth

The missing word is tilth, which is an old sort of word for cultivated land.

By the way, the anthem or 'Island Big Song' is sung to the tune of the old Imperial Russian national anthem, 'God Save the Tsar'.
2. What are the name of the parking meter-like objects that monitor, spy on and entertain the population of Jinsy?

Answer: Tesselators

Yes, they are tesselators. The other three are Jinsyish vegetables.
3. What is the correct response when someone mentions Jinsy's leader/deity, The Great He?

Answer: "Jinsy Praise Him"

Properly, it is said while you hop briefly on your left leg before swinging it in a wide arc to the right. Watch out for other people while you're doing it - the Arbiter of Jinsy, Jiremy Maven, didn't and flattened Lady Coogan at her garden party. Accidents happen.
4. Which of these is not a Parish of Jinsy?

Answer: Mawk

There are ten parishes on Jinsy: Nool, Veen, West Zententerton, Pondarea, Kssspp, Helleetertrond, Hoofan, Brownlap, Civviers and if you must, the pariah parish of Kraw.
5. What is the name of the sprightly Weather Monk on Jinsy's Tesselator network?

Answer: Tracee Henge

Yes, the gibberish-spouting cleric is Tracee Henge, island fount of all things weathery (if only we could understand him). He is played by the veteran UK character actor David Hatton who based him on the 'father of goobledygook', surreal British comedian Professor Stanley Unwin.
6. What is the name of Jinsy's native fruit, source of the powerful mauve intoxicant that keeps the islanders happy, content and stupid?

Answer: Pellch

The pellch is a white hairy fruit, about the size of a melon but with four purple teats. If milked with care, it provides the the raw material for Jinsy's powerful pellch alcohol.
7. According to leader Arbiter Jeremy Maven, what are the three wonders of Jinsy?

Answer: Mickey's bucket, the Lemony Dog and Mrs. Boolay's face

Chris Bran and Justin Chubb, the creators of this show, have heavily hinted that Jinsy is based on their own native Jersey in the Channel Islands, but how far this can be carried, I just don't know.
8. While stalking the caverns around Doker's Quarry one night, you hear the sound, 'fettyfettyfettyping' and feel your head brushed by the wings of something dark. What rare Jinsy animal have you just encountered?

Answer: The ool bat

The ool bat is desperately endangered, so try not to decapitate it as some of Jinsy's most senior persons have.
Despite its looks, the ool bat is quite harmless. Unless you eat it, then you turn orange and die a slow, orangey death.
9. Which animals are used to deliver Jinsy's post?

Answer: Pigs

Mrs. Oon runs the Postage Piggery, Jinsy's traditional but very inefficient postal delivery system. She also fronts a psychedelic underground rock band, 'Mool Papaya', as seen in episode 7, 'Zoop'.
Goats, although seemingly popular on the Island, serve no administrative purpose.
10. What role did the distinguished Scottish actor, and tenth incarnation of Doctor Who, David Tennant play in the 'Wedding Lottery' episode?

Answer: Mr Slightlyman

David Tennant, camping it up to the very maximum.

With guests like Harry Hill, Simon Callow and Kevin Eldon, 'This is Jinsy' has had no problems attracting big names in the British acting community to take part. A second series was announced.
