https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDs067081E We’re going to do this Gill thing a little differently today. She sent in a bunch of odd scenarios under the subject “Which would you rather?”, so I’m going to try to decide. Let’s see how this goes. Would you rather be eaten by a shark, or forced to watch the movie Jaws every …
I haven’t done one of these in a while, and when I do I like to post them so that everyone can play along and show how much smarter than me they are. So have at this Maclean’s quiz. Their resident genius, Peter Dyakowski, got himself a more than respectable 80% on the 30 questions. …

This is kind of fun. Are You Smart Enough To Get These Brain Teasers? I only missed two, one of which I totally should’ve had.
Until I come up with something else for you to read, here’s a fun Maclean’s quiz to keep you busy and hopefully sharp. Your aim is to do better than Peter Dyakowski, Hamilton Tigercat and “Canada’s Smartest Person”, a title he earned by winning a 2012 CBC Television trivia show of which I have no …
