The 5pm Quiz: Long Live Latin!

Over the past few years, we've cranked out hundreds of quizzes. Chances are you haven't aced them all just yet. We'll be re-running a quiz from the archives each day at 5pm. Now we've even got a graphic.

We've briefly resuscitated this root language in both a charitable effort to revive the moribund word and test your personal knowledge of the ancestral tongue that helped spawn the romance languages.
