Ever proclaimed how elite you are? Don't deny it, you're a bad liar! 

Then again, if you can actually prove it that's another thing so it's handy 
that this demoscene quiz I devised is here specially for such purposes. If 
you can answer all the questions correctly the prize is an overinflated ego 
for a week! 

There are fifty nine questions in total and if anyone can answer them all 
correctly from memory and without looking up any information I'll be 
seriously impressed. 

The answers are in the next article!
