Peepiceek's Odd-One-Out Quiz

You are confusing Peep. Lasaraleen did threaten her servants with instant death, a beaten, being burned alive, and being but on bread and water for 2 weeks. The 24 lashes must be the two dozen Caspian threatens those who would steal water from the ship's supply. The White Witch threatened anyone who mentions Spring again with instant death. It is hard to say then which is the odd one out of the 4. You could say a, c, and d were only threats while Aravis's servant was actually beaten, but I not sure that is what you are getting at.
 
Yes, you are correct. I worded the clues quite carefully, as I always do: Lasraleen did say servants would be "beaten to death, then burned alive, then fed on bread and water for six weeks," but the wording "instantly killed" comes from the White Witch, and the wording "beaten" comes from Aravis (in contrast to Lasraleen's "beaten to death").

So the correct answer is (b) beaten, which is a punishment that was actually carried out (against Aravis's servant), while the others were threatened punishments but not carried out, (a) by the White Witch, (c) by Lasraleen, and (d) by Caspian.

Well done :) Any thoughts on the others?

Here's one more new one. Might be too obscure - I'll come back and give book references if necessary, but not if I don't have to. I'll just say that the clues (a) to (d) are in chronological (not publication) order.

#47.
(a) Aslan
(b) Aslan
(c) Caspian
(d) Peter

I'll suggest Peter, as the only one born in this world. I dare say that is too obvious and simplistic!
I assume there is a reason for Aslan appearing twice? Maybe that's a clue? Could this represent the difference between the 'mortal', for want of a better word, Aslan and the Aslan who was resurrected by the Deeper Magic from before the Dawn of Time, following the 'first' Aslan's sacrifice on the Stone Table by the White Witch? If this is so, then b) must be the answer.
 
It's an interesting guess, but that wouldn't explain why Peter comes after Caspian. Remember, they're in chronological order. I'll also say that I think these are the only four that I could have used for this theme... I may be wrong, but I can't think of any other examples.

(a) The otter in TMN ch 14
(b) The horse in PC ch 7
(c) The panther in TSC ch 15
(d) The rabbit in TLB ch 10

I make a wild guess. a, b, and d never speak in those chapters, only the panther speaks.

Well, you're not a million miles away, but in fact none of them speak. You'll probably have to look up the actual chapters to get the correct answer to this one. I'd be amazed if anyone got it without looking it up.

I'd say #44 and #46 are a bit easier. #45 should be reasonably easy too, but unless you know those passages by heart you'd probably need to look them up for it to jump out at you.

I will tell you what I saw when I looked up those chapters.:
a. no mention of a otter anywhere in the text, but I saw a otter in an illustration.
b. There is a horse illustrated and Caspian's dumb horse is talked about, but no horse speaks.
c. The panther speaks 2 lines ("Hush".... "The poor child's crazed, and no wonder after being lost inside the hill. She doesn't know what she's saying".) but is not illustrated.
d. a rabbit is illustrated but never speaks.

You're exactly right; and I'd missed the panther speaking. (Actually it's two years since I wrote these, and I didn't keep a record of the answers so I am having to work them out myself!) The panther is the odd one out, as it is mentioned in the text but not illustrated. The others are all illustrated but not mentioned in the text.

Good work! :)

And here are three more new ones to bring the set up to a nice round number.

#48. (I'll accept either of two equally reasonable answers on the same theme)
(a) Bree
(b) Aravis
(c) Peter & Edmund
(d) Tirian, Eustace & Jill

#49.
(a) Mr Tumnus (possibly, though the text isn’t clear)
(b) Bree & Hwin
(c) Peepiceek
(d) The Dawn Treader

#50.
(a) The White Witch’s reindeer
(b) Hwin
(c) Snowflake
(d) Jewel

CTII is so close. The odd one out is "a" of course. B, c, and d, is the order of who died first, while in "a" Aslan had never died.
 
No, since Aslan did die that wouldn't really make sense. You're not really on the right track with this one - remember that these are the only four instances I could have chosen for this connection, but many people died. However, a couple of the clues are connected with dying. Let me know if you need the book references.

I don't know if you are trying to throw me off or not, saying I am way off when I wasn't like you did in problem #42, so I will go into dept on Problem #47.
You said that you listed the choices in chronological order. So that means "a" represents an Aslan before the Aslan of "b", then "c" happens then "d" happens.
Well "b" thru "d" lists the order of deaths of Aslan, Caspian, and Peter. Aslan dies in LWW, Caspian dies in SC, and Peter dies in LB. Now the Aslan in "a" represents an Aslan that had never died even though He existed from eternity before. He is a god that is immortal, never dying. He only dies because He allowed the Witch to kill Him. That is why "a" is the odd one out, Aslan in "a" is the never dying one, while in "b", "c", and "d", those have all die.
 
I don't try to throw people off, Timmy - I'm trying to guide you as much as I can without giving you the actual answer. I don't think I said you were way off in #42, in fact I said you were "not a million miles away", but you hadn't mentioned the key connection.

With this one, it really is not about them dying, although two of the clues are connected with the characters' deaths, but the other two aren't. As I said before, there are exactly four instances in the chronicles of this connection (unless I'm forgetting any), whereas numerous people die. The clues relate to specific incidents in the books, but Aslan's immortality would not be a specific incident.

I'm just putting the book references in invisible ink. Highlight the text if you want to see.

#47.
(a) Aslan (LWW)
(b) Aslan (HHB)
(c) Caspian (TSC)
(d) Peter (TLB)

alright I will give #47 another chance. "D" is the odd one out, because Peter is never mistaken as a ghost as Aslan is twice and Caspian is once by Scrub ant his death.

Correct... so why is Peter included in my list? Remember, all the clues have to be connected.

As I recall, Peter is the one who speaks to Tirian in TLB when he appears as a dream, or phantom, to the seven friends of Narnia during their dinner. So, while someone speaks to Aslan and Caspian while they appear to be ghosts, Peter does the speaking.
 
Hi Animus :) Long time, no see!

Correct, between the two of you you've got there. All had others wonder whether they were ghosts (Susan of Aslan, Shasta of Aslan, Eustace of Caspian), except Peter who himself wondered whether Tirian was a ghost.

As for the unanswered questions, I think #48, #49 and #50 are all quite easy. The answer to #45 will probably be obvious as soon as you look up the quotes. #44 is trickier, but if you can identify where the quotes come from you will be well on the way. #46, the key is to start with the most obscure of the listed characters.

I mostly lurk these days, but it's good to see you guys. :)

I'm not sure about the quotes, but I'll take a stab:

#45.
(a) “Strike the bell and bide the danger”
(b) “Take of my fruit for others or forbear”
(c) “At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more”
(d) “Where the waves grow sweet”

All four are the second line of a prophecy (or something like), but only Reepicheep's saying was five lines; the other three were four.
 
Yes, that's correct :) They are all the second lines of poems, but (d) is a five-line poem, in contrast to the others, which all have four.

I will give this one a try:
a. The reindeer pulled the sled for the Witch, the Queen of Narnia.
b. Hwin was the mount for the future Queen of Archenland.
c. Snowflake was was the mount for the Queen of the Underworld.
d. Jewel was only ridden by Tirian who was the king of Narnia which makes it the odd one out.

That is a very good answer, so I probably have to allow it as a correct answer, although it's not the one I had in mind. Good work :) But I'll leave the question open for other attempts to see if anyone can get the answer I was thinking of.
