Knowledge Quiz 2017

WELCOME TO KNOWLEDGE QUIZ 2017! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE ARE HAVING THIS QUIZ, AND THIS IS POWERED BY THE THINKOPEDIA, WHICH IS MY SECOND BLOG! Now, this is not a language-related thing. But in this quiz, we can have some language-related questions! Please also visit The Thinkopedia, which is my second blog. Now, this is the first round and I have just two questions for you.
