Now this quiz should have been brought to you by Olivier, only sadly he's not been seen around these parts for some time. I hope he's okay and will return at some point in the future, fingers crossed. I told our esteemed mod cider_and_toast that if Olivier didn't return I'd pick up this quiz for him so that still was one.

Here it is then, I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to know your thoughts and scores please if you could spare a second to post them. Thanks in advance to all who take the time to do that :cheers:
