When I was a kid, I never enjoyed taking tests. I know, it’s an odd admission for a guy who is the ‘‘quizmaster,’’ but it’s true. Then again, it might be false. You see, I kind of enjoyed quizzes that required a true-or-false answer. For one thing, I always felt I had a 50% chance of getting the right answer. That immediately relaxed me. Obviously, I didn’t mind multiple-choice questions, either. Again, a reduction of pressure and a little less reliance on pure memory. That is why most of the time those are the types of questions I provide to you weekly. The other reason I use these short-answer quizzes is because it would take me too much time to grade each of your essay answers. Today, we are all true-or-false questions. As always, the quiz is self-grading, so let me know how you do. Have fun and learn a lot.
1. Cub reporter Jimmy Olsen always referred to Perry White as ‘‘Chief,’’ much to his annoyance. As an homage, I refer to my editor, Chris De Luca, as ‘‘Chief.’’ True or false: Olsen’s title was earned because he covered the Cubs for the Daily Planet.
