Picture this: You walk into your boss's office, and he hands you a stack of papers the size of a small child. Your heart sinks, your palms get sweaty, and you immediately start thinking of ways to fake your own death and start a new life in Bali. We've all been there. But do you actually know anything about the paper you're avoiding like the plague?
We've got a quiz that will put your paper knowledge to the test. And we're not talking about simple questions like "What color is printer paper?"

After all, not everyone is meant to be a paper expert. So, grab a pen and paper (ironic, we know) and let's get started.
