As 2017 comes to an end, who knows what 2018 will bring? It’s hard to know—but that’s all the more reason to test what you do know with our annual edition of the Year Ahead Quiz, part of our biweekly trivia challenge designed by quizmaster Terrance Balazo.

As usual, we’ve invited the Maclean’s Genius, Peter Dyakowski, to take the quiz. Dyakowski is a lineman with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders 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!)

So, how’d he do on our Year Ahead Quiz? “Oof! I am clearly not prepared for 2018,” he said—he scored 67 per cent. “But I got the baseball question correct! We must celebrate the small victories.”
