Good news, Quiz fans!

The Quiz goes on, right through August! I'll be away for most of the month, but a special guest will present the Quiz in my place. I'm writing the questions, so you won't have to get used to a new style, for better or worse.

Le Quiz continue pendant le mois d'août! Je serai en vacances presque tout le mois, mais le Quiz sera animé par un invité spécial. J'écris les questions, alors vous n'aurez pas à vous habituer à un autre style, pour le meilleur et pour le pire.
