Game - Special Edition for P&P's Bicentennial

Hello, hello, hello! Today, in case some of you don't know, is a very important day in the world of literature geeks, especially Janeites, and more especially P&P fans; because exactly 200 years ago on this very date a wonderful thing happened: P&P was published. One of the best-loved stories ever was for the first time released and ready to go out there and change the world.


I mean, what would life be without Jane Austen's brilliant stories? I hate to imagine. Though this was her second book to be published, it is a day to be much celebrated because... hello, people, Pride and Prejudice!!!! Yes, I think you get the point.

Now. As I'm sure you have observed, we do a game every Monday. Well, it just so happens that January 28th is a Monday; how is that for coincidence? I knew I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by, and Miss Dashwood and I agreed that today's game would certainly have to be something special. Sooo... here is what's been come up with. It's a combination of several little games, to make a big Celebratory Activity.

The first section will be completely P&P95, since it will have to do with pictures from the movie. The second section will be an unscramble game, and the names and words could come from either the book or P&P95 (since the latter is so much like the former, and that is why we love it). The third and fourth sections will, in honor of the day, be completely based on the book. I trust, however, that you have all read it; and even if you have not, being a P&P95 fan might help you in some cases since it is such a faithful adaptation. But I'll explain more later. The fifth section is going to be a poll/throwdown, the results of which will be included in the Answers post...

...which will be published on Saturday, as usual (which is February 2nd). Answers will be accepted through Friday.

Now, friends and fans, I've rambled on long enough, so... here be the festivities! Hope you have fun! (Oh, and one more thing: all the answers are worth two points each, which make a total of 80 if you get everything right; I wish it was 100, but I couldn't finagle that.)

Hat Game
For this game, there will be pictures below of hats worn by ladies in P&P95. Your job is to identify which ladies are wearing which hats. I rather stole this idea from Miss Laurie, who does think of such good games! I do hope the strange blacked-out faces are not spooky. :P Personally I find them amusing. I was contemplating adding white mustaches, but thought that might be going a little too far....
You may guess more than once.
{Note: Don't forget you can click on the images if you want to see them full-sized.}

    
                                                #ONE                                             #TWO


                                               #THREE                                           #FOUR


                                                  #FIVE                                               #SIX


                                             #SEVEN                                           #EIGHT


                                              #NINE                                                #TEN
So, which hat is your favorite? ;) I like 4 and 5...


Unscramble Game
This shouldn't take much explaining... just unscramble the words. ;) If you want to know any particulars, do ask. I'll give you the hint that they are all either character's names (first and last or title and last) or places, and the names will not be very main characters. You need more of a challenge than that. ;-)
You may guess more than once.

11. MYOTENR
12. MURSA  LAAIC
13. BTHRIOGN
14. HRITEOR  FERRSTA
15. ATUH  PNIISPL
16. HESHERFTODRRI
17. MOG.  YRUSNE
18. DRBEEYHSIR
19. GRTREE  GENAN
20. LSAOTR  HIUSU 


Book Quote Game
Here is a list of quotes which, shockingly enough, are not included in the movie. (Well, they can't get them all, I s'pose...) It is your duty to guess which characters said them.
You may have second chances on guessing, but only that.

21. "His pride does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud."

22. "Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can."

23. "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."

24. "I declare I do not know a more awful object than Darcy, on particular occasions and in particular places; at his own house especially, and of a Sunday evening when he has nothing to do."

25. "Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion."

26. "I cannot talk of books in a ballroom; my head is always full of something else."

27. "Those who do not complain are never pitied."

28. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I do not have an excellent library."

29. "Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure."

30. "I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice."

Trivia Quiz
This is based entirely on the book. Some of the answers may be accurate with both P&P95 and the book, but some may not. After all, we're celebrating the book's anniversary here!
You can answer each question only once, but if you want a while to think on some, feel free to leave them blank and come back later.

31. In his letter to Elizabeth, does Mr. Darcy speak first of his dealings with Mr. Wickham, or of dividing Mr. Bingley from Jane?

32. "He was directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that he could imagine but two motives for their chusing to walk up and down the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would interfere." What were the two alleged motives that Miss Bingley insisted Mr. Darcy explain?

33. What are three names of houses/estates in P&P? (Excluding Pemberley--sorry, folks, that one's too easy.)

34. How many attempts did it take Mrs. Bennet to successfully arrange for Mr. Bingley to propose to Jane?

35. How many of the Bennet sisters draw?

36. Did Lady Catherine ever visit Pemberley after Mr. Darcy was married--or, I should say, once the shades of Pemberley were thus polluted?

37. Put these events in the correct order, (numbered, if you don't mind):
-The ball at Netherfield
-Mr. Darcy's first proposal
-Mr. Darcy's second proposal
-Visit to Derbyshire and Pemberley
-Meryton Assembly (where everyone first sees Mr. Bingley and his party)
-Mr. Collins's proposal to Lizzy
-Mr. Bingley's proposal to Jane
-Lydia's Elopement

38. Mr. Gardiner said Mr. Bennet would be expected to pay how many pounds per annum (during his life) upon Lydia's marriage to Mr. Wickham?

39. Who has joint guardianship with Mr. Darcy of Georgiana?

40. Here's a pretty obscure one... when does Elizabeth first realize that Mr. Collins is paying her attentions, and fears a proposal of marriage?

Poll: Which is your favorite first name from the following list of female characters in P&P? (Vote on the sidebar)
~Caroline
~Catherine
~Charlotte
~Elizabeth
~Georgiana
~Jane
~Kitty (Catherine is also an option)
~Louisa
~Lydia
~Maria
~Mary

So... let's hear it for P&P!!!!! :D

    34. O boy...um, countless? Haha! She was trying since the moment Bingley danced with Jane, sending her to Netherfield on horseback, for goodness' sake! But, assuming you mean the attempts after he came back into the neighborhood, I shall say two times. She gets Jane and Bingley alone in the drawing room once and nothing happens. She does the same thing next time he comes, and it works! 2nd time's a charm!
    35. Not one

    And, can you possibly guess which name is my favorite? Hint: I did not choose Elizabeth! *gasp*

  2. Caroline L.,
    I enjoyed your answers! :) On the Hat Game, you got all but 4 and 10. For the Unscramble Game, all your guesses were correct! (For the record, you guessed all but 14 and 15.) Good job! I'm not very good at those either... although it's a lot easier for me when it's based on characters or words in a book I know; then I just think over them and see if any of the letters would match. ;)
    For the quotes, you got them all right!
    For the trivia quiz, you got everything besides 40, and you were close on that, but... not quite. Feel free to guess again.

    You have 70 points. Great job!

  6. The Elf,
    Incorrect guesses: 10, 21, 25, and 30.
    Left blank: 2, 4, 6, 8, 17, and 27.
    Your second choice on 24 was correct.
    On 38, I can't discover that the second figure you spoke of was mentioned exactly; but I'm changing the question to be more pointed, and for the part it's asking, you had the right answer.
    On 40, your answer is true but not quite exact; so I am giving you half-credit for it.
    Current score: 61/80

  7. Just after Lizzy has read Uncle Gardiner's letter aloud, Mr. Bennet is talking about how can he ever repay Gardiner and mentions that no man would be fool enough to marry Lydia for 100 pounds per annum and 50 when he is gone.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Okay, I'm way too tired to do the whole game tonight, so my answers shouldn't really count. I would at least like to list off the hats, though:
    1. Lydia Bennet (heading to Brighton)
    2. Elizabeth Bennet (walking with Colonel Fitzwilliam)
    3. Charlotte Lucas/Collins, I believe
    5. Georgiana Darcy (upon meeting Lizzy at the Inn at Lambton)
    7. Elizabeth's GORGEOUS ruched bonnet
    8. Miss Darcy
    9. Lady Catherine deBourgh
    10. Mrs. Gardiner

    Well, the rest of this game looks amazing, but I think I need to go get some rest!

    #7. Elizabeth Bennet
    #8. Caroline Bingley?

    28. Caroline Bingley
    29. Mr. Darcy
    30. Elizabeth Bennet?

    -Trivia Quiz-
    31. In the book...it's of Mr. Wickham, I think. Else Lizzy would have thrown the letter away instantly!

    40. Wow, that is a tough one! Is it when they walk into Meryton and meet Mr. Wickham and the other officers? That's probably why she invites her sisters along.

    -Poll-
    I voted for Jane but almost said Lydia or Mary as those three are names I really love. But then JA does use the best names! :)

    Such a fun game! Thanks!

  11. Katrina,
    All your hat guesses were correct except for #8. (In case you've forgotten what your guess was on that one, it was the same character as #5.) You can still guess 4 and 6, and I'll withhold further calculations for when you play the rest of the game. :)

    Miss Laurie,
    Incorrect guesses: 10, 21, 25, 26, 29, 31, 34, 36, and 40.
    On #14 the extra letter you mentioned is supposed to be there, in the last name; your guess was close but still not the same name so I'll give you half-credit for that, and of course you may give it another go. ;)
    On #32, you guessed one of the two reasons correctly, so one point for that too.
    Your score: 60/80.
    Thanks so much for playing! I enjoyed your comment!

    India Grace,
    Incorrect guesses: 2, 8, 21, and 29.
    Left blank: 6, 10, 34, and 40.
    (Your first guess on #24 was correct.)

  15. Oh dear! That's certainly not what I meant for number eight! I meant to write Miss Bingley (Mr. Bingley's unmarried sister). Sorry about that! I'll have to try the rest of the quiz later. :)

    21. Caroline
    25. Lizzy

  17. Alright! I'm going to try my hand at fixing some of my wrong answers! Unfortunately, I'm not positive what I wrote the first time, so hopefully I won't make the same mistakes. Here goes!

    I have scrutinized the little hat pictures and am now fairly certain that number 4 is Lydia's bonnet in the scene before the Netherfield ball when Mr. Collins is claiming his fair cousin's hand for the first two dances.

    Number 10 (and I don't know why I didn't see it before!) is Mrs. Gardiner!

    I think I have another scrambley figured out!!! 15 is Aunt Philips!

  18. Katrina,
    I confess I suspected as much, which is why I mentioned it. ;) Your clarification is correct, so now all your hat guesses are right, and you can still try on 4 and 6.

    The Elf,
    Your new guesses on 2, 17, 27, and 30 are correct.
    4, 8, 10, 21, and 25 were still missed.
    This brings your score to 69/80. Good job!

    Caroline L.,
    On #4, I believe you're actually right about that scene! It's so very brief I never noticed that before--I guess two different people wore that hat! But in at least three other scenes (and in the screencap pictured) it's on somebody else. I'll give you half-credit, though, since you noticed that.
    You're right on 10. I know just what you mean about not 'seeing it' before, then once I do I feel like... duh. ;) Good job! And yes on 15 too.
    This brings your score to 75/80. Excellent!

  19. Hi, I'm back! I figured it out. Number 19~Gretna Green.
    Thanks!

  20. Hi again! I think I have 40 now too.
    40~ Just after Mr Collins has asked her for the first two dances,just after they have received the invitation to the Netherfield ball. I also commented about question 19.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Are we able to try again on the questions we got wrong? Well, if so, here are my new guesses:

    2. ???
    8. Really stuck on this one... I said Anne last time didn't I? Mrs Jenkinson?
    21. Mary
    29. Jane

    And the answers to the ones I left blank:

    6. Mrs Bennet?? No clue really...
    10.Mrs Gardiner?? Or Maria Lucas??
    34. one... or two?? :)
    40. When he first starts singling her out to walk with and sit by???

  22. Miss Margaret Dashwood,
    Your recent guesses were correct! I did forget, though, that technically second guesses on the quiz questions aren't supposed to be allowed (on the other games it's fine)... but I will give you half-credit for it, since you were close the first time. So now you have 79/80 points! Top score so far! :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. India Grace,
    Yes, you can try again, except for on the quiz (questions 31-40).
    Your guesses on 8, 21, and 29 are still wrong. You can also try 2 again.
    Your first guess on #10 is correct!
    On 34, since that's the quiz and you're only allowed one guess, you'll have to decide between your guesses! ;)
    I'm afraid 40 isn't quite right.
    Updated score: 66/80

  27. Miss Dashwood,
    I'm too funny, am I? Why, thank-you. ;)
    Incorrect guesses: 8, 10, 25, 30, 31, 34, 35, 40 (but you were close-ish, heehee).
    Left blank: 20
    On 15-- nope, it's with one. In the Penguin classics version, anyways. I checked.
    27-- true, but this is the order it's "shown" in the story, so I figure that's what counts.
    Your score: 62/80
    So glad you played! I was was quite despairing!

    Hopefully I get a better score now!

  29. Emily,
    19, 25, 30 and 37 were correct. So were your second guesses on 34 and 40, but since those were on the trivia quiz only one guess is allowed. :-/
    Your updated score: 74/80
    Very good! :)
