Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Sergeant Angua's real first name?

Answer: Delphine

Delphine is the name that her parents call Angua when she returns home to combat her brother in "The Fifth Elephant". Reet is one of Nanny Ogg's many offspring. Lacrimosa is one of the Magpyr family that take over Lancre castle.

2. What was the Dragon's name before it was called "Errol" by Corporal Nobby Nobbs?

Answer: Goodboy Bindle Featherstone of Quirm

Goodboy Bindle Featherstone of Quirm was dismissed as being a whittle (runt), but was really a new subspecies of Swamp Dragon.

3. Who is the Banshee with the speech impediment?

Answer: Ixolite

Iodine was a member of Susan's college in "Soul Music". Irexes is an Ephebian philosopher. Iskible is an Omnian Prophet. Both are found in "Small Gods".

4. Which of the following is NOT one of Nanny Ogg's 15 Children?

Answer: Pewsey

Pewsey is actually Nanny Ogg's Grandson (Jason's son). He is encountered in "Lord and Ladies" during the competition between Granny Weatherwax and Diamanda. He bears a huge resemblence to Wentworth in the Tiffany Aching Series. (both described as the stickiest child in the world)

5. What two great nations are separated by Djelibeybi?

Answer: Tsort and Ephebe

It is said the the country of Djelibeybi (child of the djel) exists only to stop their stronger neighbours from going to war. (Which was very nearly the case when Dejelibeybi disappeared in "Pyramids").

6. Where do Nanny Ogg, Agnes, Magrat and Baby Esme go to look for Granny Weatherwax during the Magpyr's 'reign'?

Answer: Gnarly ground

From the book "Carpe Jugulum". Granny gets bitten by the Vampires and gets helped by Mightily Oats. The vampires then start craving a cup of tea!

7. What dance does Jason Ogg say should never be danced again?

Answer: The Stick and Bucket Dance

A dance that should never be danced in front of females (except possibly Nanny Ogg). Last time it was danced one of the Lancre Morris men had a serious injury which meant he missed out on the events of "Lords and Ladies" (lucky him).

8. In which book do we encounter Otto, the Vampire with a bad career choice?

Answer: The Truth

"The Truth" tells the story of Ankh Morpork's first newspaper. Otto is the photographer who keeps turning to dust each time he takes a picture. It is the 25th Discworld novel.

9. What is the name of the creature that takes over Tiffany Aching in "A Hat Full of Sky"?

Answer: The Hiver

After defeating the hiver at the Witch Trials, Tiffany gives it a name to ease its pain and at its request shows it how to die. The Queen of the fairies was defeated in "Lords and Ladies" and the Grimhounds appear in "The Wee Free Men".

10. What is Dr Horace Worblehat (B. Thau, D.M.) known for?

Answer: Turning into an ape and refusing to change back

The name of the librarian has been forgotten by all the staff of UU. The only Wizard left on the disc to know it is Rincewind, hence the Wizards travelling to XXXX to help cure the librarian in "The Last Continent"
