The Quiz: You vs. the Maclean’s Genius
This week, we tested our Genius Peter Dyakowski on everything from Bruce Lee to the Oscars. Can you beat 87 per cent?

The late superstar Bruce Lee is best-known for the kung fu skills he displayed in his movies, but his daughter hopes that more people take the effort to understand his teachings and life philosophy. Marking his death 40 years ago on July 20, the Hong Kong government has teamed up with the Bruce Lee Foundation to put together an exhibition to showcase the late star’s life, from his famous yellow tracksuit he wore in the movie “Game of Death,” to his writings and drawings.

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, he proved why we call him our genius—he solved the Singapore brain teaser that had been stumping the Internet. (And during his workout, no less!)
This week, we tested Dyakowski on everything from Bruce Lee to the Academy Awards to figure skating. “Apparently I know my Canadian figure skaters better than my U.S. presidents,” he said. He scored 87 per cent.
