Proverb Quiz

The good news is that all my quizzes are going to be published this year in "The Evil Quizmaster"
Amazon are funny (in fact they are hilarious) about anything in a book being published on a blog so I have removed any quizzes which will be in the upcoming book from this blog. The one which remains will not be in the book.
