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

We’ve also invited ‘Canada’s Smartest Person,’ Peter Dyakowski, to take the quiz. Dyakowski is a lineman with the CFL’s Hamilton Ticats, and also bested the competition in CBC’s ‘Canada’s Smartest Person’ contest in 2012.

For the second part of this special Canada Day round, we tested him on everything from Canadian pioneers to our anthem. He scored 80 per cent. (Check out part one here, where Peter scored 70 per cent.)
