Are you smarter than Maclean’s Genius? Take our trivia test!

Welcome back to the Maclean’s Quiz, a diversion designed by Terrance Balazo to test your trivia skills. Good luck, and remember: no Internet assistance allowed.

We’ve also invited the Maclean’s Genius, Peter Dyakowski, to take the quiz. Dyakowski is a lineman with the CFL’s Hamilton Ticats who also bested the competition in CBC’s Canada’s Smartest Person contest in 2012. And we don’t call him our genius for nothing—he solved the viral Singapore brain teaser that had been stumping the Internet. (And during his workout, no less!) And try to beat his very Canadian score at our very Canadian Canada Day Quiz here!

This week, we tested Dyakowski on everything from the Muppets and HBO shows to Shakespeare and ship’s parts. How did he do? “A thoroughly average 67 per cent,” he said. “But I like the number 67, so I’m ok with that!”

Try the Quiz now and see if you can beat his score!
