Okay, you’ve had time to give it the ol’ college try! How did you do?
Little Red Riding Hood had a ‘real’ first name. What was it?
A: Biddy
In Beauty and the Beast, beauty ends up in married bliss, but what is the fate of her two evil sisters?
A: They are turned into statues. And they deserved it, the hags!
A mega-famous fairy tale character is known in different lands as Rashin Coatie (Scotland), Aschenputtel (Germany), Zezolla (Italy), and Yeh-hsien (China). What name do we know this character by?
A: Cinderella
In the story Snow White, what was strange—and rather icky—about her stepmother considering Snow White a romantic rival?
A: Snow White was only 7 years old! Which makes the handsome prince pretty nasty, too.
The character of the curious Goldilocks went through several transitions. In her first incarnation, what was she?
A: A mean old woman named Silver-Hair.
We all know that princesses who kiss frogs can turn the frog back into a prince. But in the original fairytale, how did the princess transform the frog into a prince?

Which character was horribly killed in the original version of the story? Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella?
A: Red Riding Hood
Jack steals three items from the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk. Name one of those items.
A: A hen that lays golden eggs, a sack of money, and a harp that plays on command. I feel sorry for the giant. He probably worked hard for all those.
Cinderella’s original godmother appeared in several forms, none as nice as the sweet grandmotherly figure in the movie! Name any of the original forms.
A: A dead calf, bones of a fish, a white bird. Eek.
Besides the poisoned apple, what ways (there are 2) did Snow White’s stepmother try to kill her?
A: Lacing her corset too tight, and a poisoned comb. You think the idiot would’ve figured it out. Of course…she was only seven!
