Went to Buzzfeed books because I guess I’d forgotten that Harry Potter existed (seriously — why they don’t just call that section Harry Potter is beyond me.) But yay — A Series of Unfortunate Events quiz, billed as The Hardest … You’ll Ever Take.
Excellent. Pencils (in the form of my mouse to click on the multiple choice answers) poised. Go!
A few seconds later I achieved thirteen out of thirteen.
Ignoring the fact that my knowledge of a series of a children’s books is surprisingly detailed, what the hell? That wasn’t hard at all.
So Tesfa and I spent dinner time (to Geoff’s dismay) making up an actual hard quiz about ASoUE. Questions like:
- How wide was the book with the yellow cover?
- How many times did Lemony Snicket use the phrase “in the belly of the beast” in the Carnivorous Carnival, when it counted. Bonus: How many times in total, times that counted and times that didn’t?
- How many bedrooms in the Squalor Penthouse?
- What was the first meal Sunny served in the Mortmain Mountains?
We had many more. Geoff could answer only a few. Tesfa and I had fun. Geoff, not so much.
In any case, fake Buzzfeed news! Found! Ah ha! Microphone drop on the internet, which I guess means I press Publish and wander off to drink some coffee.
