Home Book Blog New Online Quiz Based on Who Hates Whom
Print
Friend of the blog Paul Paquet runs a combination PR and trivia-question-writing company in Ottawa that actually does a pretty nifty business.  I had no idea the market for minutiae was so large.

His website hosts a weekly trivia quiz that Paul writes himself, and it's always a fun way to knock a few minutes off while procrastinating online.  This week's quiz is loosely based on Who Hates Whom, a recent book of mine you may have seen subtly mentioned elsewhere on this site.  Ahem.

I thank Paul for the thoughtful bit of pluggage.  If you've got ten minutes and want to play, click on over.

One key caveat: the quiz also contains material not drawn from the book, and there are several places where the quiz phrases things in a way I wouldn't have chosen.  Consider the entire quiz Paul's work, not mine.  He deserves full credit for all any fun, reward, or outrage you may experience.  Enjoy!
