Grats Prof!

Nice one. I was thinking Discworld was quite likely to be the home of this character, but (as has been evident previously) I don’t know the series well enough to get it.

My IQ answers were Richard Rogers, Richard Rodgers, and Arnold J Rimmer (from Red Dwarf).

Now I am S.

Haven’t read any of the Discworld stories, so I would never have gotten it, but good job, Prof. P.!
