Procol Harum Knowledge Test: by Tito Davila

There is no need to seek an audience with the Dalai Lama or spend five years in contemplation to correctly answer the Procol Harum Knowledge Test. The answers are "all there to be found" by simply looking to your soul, but not by looking them up. Correct answers are worth five "Procolpoints," but there are some extra credit questions. A perfect score, including the extra points, is 105. Good luck pilgrim.
