This is a quiz on my paper Revising. Before looking at the questions below, read this article as carefully as you can. Then take the quiz without looking back at the article. Then, to see how much better you can do, take the quiz again with a copy of the article in front of you.

Extra credit. Write a program in tiny-c that presents the user with these quiz questions, accepts answers and writes them to a file.
