Take the Chocolate Quiz

Pearl at the terrific blog Humanyms pointed out the extremely challenging quiz Be a Chocolate Detective:

Any Cultural Detective requires an open mind and critical thinking. A good detective should also be able to carry on an interesting conversation and enjoy life a bit. The following quiz will help you develop these abilities.

Chocolate has its roots in traditional rainforest village life—from Brazil to Ghana and Indonesia. Chocolate has influenced traditions spanning most of the globe for hundreds and sometimes thousands of years.

You may want to open a second browser window to do some research as you answer the quiz. Particularly helpful will be the International Cocoa Association website, http://www.icco.org/

I decided to do this quiz purely on my own and was quickly humbled to find that, out of a potential score of 10, 500 points, I received 1200 (and some of those were lucky guesses).

Humph. I’m off to take solace in a chocolate bar.
