Official description
The quiz utility tests your knowledge of random facts. It has a database
of subjects from which you can choose. With no arguments, quiz displays
the list of available subjects.
Subjects are divided into categories. You can pick any two categories
from the same subject. quiz will ask questions from the first category
and it expects answers from the second category. For example, the com‐
mand "quiz victim killer" asks questions which are the names of victims,
and expects you to answer with the cause of their untimely demise,
whereas the command "quiz killer victim" works the other way around.
If you get the answer wrong, quiz lets you try again. To see the right
answer, enter a blank line.
