When I first started freelancing full time, a friend of mine was like, hey, I need some freelance work. You can write quizzes for me. And I was like, oh, I don’t know, quizzes? I’ve never written a quiz. And she was like, nah, it’s easy, go for it. And I was like, well, ok, if you say so. They turned out to be some of the most fun writing I’ve ever done. Here are the last three in my year-long series.
I referenced the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the intro to the Space quiz. Of course.
