I was reading my sociology book for school...then I thought I would rather put this together instead :P

Couldn't think of any middling questions so this goes from easy to hard

1.) Who is Solomons fattest wife?
2.) Where from Bartis past is his favorite form in RoS of a tan youth from?
3.) What does Asmira have around her neck?
4.) Whos spirits guise does Bartimaeus see that he says he will use later?
5.) Who is Bartis first master in this book?
6.) What reasons does that master say hes singling barti out to give a job to?

Answers to these in the Spoilers!
[+] Spoiler
1.) The Hippo from Moab (1 point)
2.) A spearbearer for King Gilgamesh (1 point)
3.) Silver sun shaped pendant (1 point)
4.) Zahzeel the Afrit (1 point) ("afrit gaurd" works to, I guess)
5.) Ezekiel (1 point)
6.) Singing lewd songs about Solomon and loudly extolling his own magnificence (2 points)
Starts getting more hard now Ooo

7.) Which of these spirits are not one of Khabas slaves?
Beyzer, Ammet, Rizim, Chosroes, Nurgal, Gezeri, Tivoc, Menes, Nimshik, Xoxen, Naabash, Faquarl.
8.) Who are the 3 marids/afrits mentioned that attemt to steal the Ring and what are the fates of each?
9.) Do you need an Afrit to catch a wife? How many afrits does Solomon call to catch his fainting wives?
10.) When/in what scene were these civilisations/cities mentioned? ( hint: its pretty funny, or at least I thought so)
Gilat, Tel Batash, and Khirbet Delhamiyeh

7.) Rizim and Naabash (4 points)
8.) Odalis: Startled face in a bathroom tile (2 points) Azul: turned into stone (2points) Philocretes: A voice in a bloody pot of course (1 point)
9.) Nineteen (2 points)
10.) Bosquo annoys Barti by not getting his name right when Barti checks in with his delivery, and takes him for a foliot. (3 points)
Okayy thats a total of 21 points. Good Luck, hope its fun and No Cheating! Post what you scored and tell me which were the hardest
If you get 4 or less points how can you call yourself a Barti fan?!?!
If you get 17+ points you are obssessed or are a genius.

The score I got on this quiz is so depressing, I refuse to even mention it here.
This is my signature. Why yes, I am quite proud of it, thank you very much. I raised the fellow meself.
I got eight...it's time to re-read RoS, methinks. :P
Bartimaeus: It won't be the only mad thing about if you let this lot go. Check out that one at the end. He's taken the form of a footstool. Weird...but somehow I like his style.
Nathaniel: That is a footstool. No one's using that Pentacle.
The answers are easy but the questions are hard.....

Alright, I'm going to type my answers down here so I can tally up the count without cheating later.

Here we go, part one:

1) The wife from Moab (Pygmy Hippo in a skirt)
2) Sumer
3) A silver necklace
4) That one afrit gaurd in the garden
5) Ezekiel
6) Singing bad songs about Solomon coupled with much loud yelling of his own magnificence, much of which boils down to "Bartimaeus is Best."

part two:

7) Rizim, Naabaash, Nurgal
8) I forget their specific names but, the one who got stuffed as a sigh or whatever in a tiny pot, the one who was turned into stone or whatever, and the one who was...face in a tile of the royal bathrooms, yep.
9) No, you do not. Too many for the job necessary, that's for certain.
10) I don't even remember. I'm going to assume one of the conversations with Faquarl.

Now to check!


So my score is around 14 or so. Well then. Not my worst.

Considering how many times I've read them, the thought that I may have is highly plausible.

Well, maybe not all the details, but close enough I would assume.

Considering your score, i'd say, yes, you have them all memorized.
