I don’t have access to a computer with excel this weekend (again) – so alas, no spreadsheet results update today.

But I solemnly swear to have an updated spreadsheet next weekend!

Until then, ready for Quiz #28?

To quote Keanu in The Matrix, Okie Dokie!

Quiz Rules/Format
(feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!

I appreciate that entry to Canada’s National Parks is free this year (to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday), I’ve really enjoyed visiting several of them with my girls!
