The Quiz: You vs. the Maclean’s Genius

This week, we tested Maclean’s Genius Peter Dyakowski on everything from the Opposition Leader’s house to People Magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive. Can you beat his 77 per cent?

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.

This week, we tested Dyakowski on everything from the Opposition Leader’s housing in Ottawa to People‘s Sexiest Woman Alive. “I was shocked to see that my wife Rachel was not listed as an option for that question,” said Dyakowski. He scored 77 per cent.
