HERE'S a tricky Easter quiz that will test those brain cells.

We tried it out in the County Gazette offices - top score was three out of ten, but we disagreed with one answer.

Nationally, more than 2,000 people took the quiz, which revealed half of Brits don’t know where the Easter bunny originates from, and two-thirds can’t name who created the first chocolate egg or even why Easter is celebrated.

Have a crack and see how you fare.
