"Do you know someone named Cooper, or Fletcher, or Chapman, or Wainwright? Do you know how those surnames originated? Have you, at some point in your Society career, acted as a gonfalonier, a cordwainer, or an arkwright?"

Seamus Mac Daibhid's Librarian's Challenge will test your knowledge of occupational names. Finally, here's your chance to put to use all those hours spent reading medieval mysteries!

Don't give up - click the Score Me button, and you can keep rearranging your wrong answers.

Also on the website, The Red Belt Test. "You might be a red belt if... your children didn't learn to spell 'rat' until after they could spell 'rattan', you might be a red belt."
