Diogenes Club Quick Quote Quiz
Hello Watsonians—
We invite you to participate in a new periodic feature: The Diogenes Club Quick Quote Quiz. This little game requires no submission of answers to anyone—you are playing against yourself and the clock; it is not necessary for anyone else to take the least notice of what you do.
To play along:
–Read the quote from the Canon provided below.
–As quickly as you can, identify the speaker and the adventure featuring the quote.
–Note how long it took you to arrive at the answer.
–Scroll down a few inches to see if you have the correct answer.
–Leave a note in the comments, if you wish, about your answer and your time.
That’s it! We are starting you off with one that may be easy as to the speaker, but how well can you remember which adventure it is from? Imagine “Jeopardy” music in the background.
We hope you will enjoy playing.
