Square’s 5th-anniversary quiz!

As Chicago Public Square begins its second half-decade, here’s a 50-question quiz—crafted with text drawn from Square’s first five years.

The top 10 scorers who entered their names and email addresses at the end of the quiz by 11:59 p.m. Central time Feb. 1, 2022, will get qualified for a Square cap. A bonus cap went to the first reader to score 100%.

Note: When you’re finished—especially if you’re on a phone or a tablet—you may need to scroll back to the top to see your score.
