I guess it's that time of year -- take out your checkbooks and become a dan. https://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/news/member/10_33.html.
But there is a bit of free fun to be had even if you don't want to celebrate Iyama's 10th Honinbo win. https://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/news/docs/2 ... onyu10.pdf. You can answer these questions now and then check again in a month or so when the answers are released. I have no idea how accurate these tests are but I suspect it doesn't really matter as it appears to just be a fundraiser.
The problems are arranged in tiers:
八段〜五段 5 to 8 dan,
四段～初段 shodan to 4 dan
初段～ 6級 6 kyu to shodan (again?)
Here are some examples (hopefully no transcription errors)
