Bonjour, mes amis. I am Henri
de Goolooze LaPlex and I bid you welcome to the Moolah Rouge!
This is the place where
money flows freely, but not in the way you might think. Instead
of buying and selling, the patrons of our establishment indulge
in excessive amounts of monetary trivia!
Do
you have the financial foundation to be a part of this very exclusive
club? Perhaps you should let ME be the judge of that. Partake
in this simple orientation quiz, and we'll see just how far you'll
make it at the Moolah Rouge.
