Product Description
Product Description
The Chinese government says that a Buddhist monk from Kabul, Afghanistan discovered Canada in 458 A.D. Yes, it?s true! Take the CanQuiz! CanQuiz is a compilation of brain teasers, quizzes, intriguing questions, incredible facts, and captivating photographs that will test your knowledge, stretch your mind, challenge your brain, and make you laugh. Give your brain a major workout in the categories of sports, politics, the arts, famous Canadians, history, and more. What do you know about events in Canadian history? Canadian symbols? The geography of this vast land? Our military? Canadian inventors? You may know more than you think! Or you may have a lot to learn? Take the challenge: Q: Why did Wayne Gretzky choose #99 for his sweater? A: The Great One wore #9 as a junior because it was the number of his idol Gordie Howe. When he moved up to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 1977-78, Brian Gualazzi was already wearing #9, so Gretzky tried #14 and #19 before settling on #99.

Globe and Mail Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: CanQuiz (Paperback)
CanQuiz, by Alastair Sweeny, Key Porter, 171 pages, $16.95If you're one of those people who used to sit around at parties asking questions from the Trivial Pursuit game without bothering with the game part, then you will definitely want CanQuiz, a collection of trivia, brain teasers, quizzes, questions, photographs and facts about Canadian history, politics, geography, sports and personalities. Did you know, for instance, that the world's first baseball game was played in Canada? Or that the first tourists to Canada were forced into cannibalism? That the Rideau Canal is not actually the world's longest skating rink? That William Lyon Mackenzie King is still around, haunting a house in Toronto? That the last of Canada's official executioners has a literary prize named after him? More than 800 questions and 150 photographs and illustrations.
