The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, chapters 47-61

Before reading chapter 47...


Take this quiz to find out how superstitious you are.

Q1: Would you live in a house or a flat numbered 13?

Q2: Do you wish people ‘good luck’?

Q3: When you are facing something like an exam, or an important sports match, do you have a ritual or a special item to bring luck, such as a cuddly toy ‘mascot’, or a pair of ‘lucky’ socks?

Q4: When you were younger did you have any rituals, or special things to say and do? For example, one person used to deal with a bad dream by saying, ‘It’s only a dream and dreams can’t hurt me’ three times before going back to sleep.

Q5: If a friend has something difficult to face, would you send them a card with a lucky symbol such as a four leaf clover or a horseshoe?

What did you score?
Q1: 0 points for yes, 3 for no
Q2: 1 point for yes, 0 for no
Q3: 4 points for yes, 0 for no
Q4: 2 points for yes, 0 for no
Q5: 1 point for yes, 0 for no

What your quiz score means: 
0-2: You are not very superstitious and can’t really understand why others get so worried about things that are supposed to bring bad luck.
2-7: You probably wouldn’t say you’re superstitious, but you are a little. ‘Just in case’ is your attitude.
7-11: You’re superstitious and you don’t care who knows it. Of course there’s such thing as luck, so why not do all you can to make sure you get the good kind?
