"Once upon a time the Thursday quiz cared deeply about the changing of the seasons and the sanctity of November. Now, however, Christmas adverts are already everywhere, flamingos are on the loose, and people are questioning the moon landings again. It all feels too much. So why not distract yourself with our 15 questions about topical news and general knowledge."
"There are no prizes, but do let us know how you get on in the comments. Allons-y! The Thursday news quiz, No 222 If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren't attempting to factcheck a joke you can complain about it in the comments below."
Once upon a time the Thursday quiz cared deeply about the changing of the seasons and the sanctity of November. Christmas adverts are already ubiquitous, flamingos are loose, and moon-landing skepticism has reappeared, creating a sense of overload. A 15-question topical news and general-knowledge quiz is offered as a distraction. There are no prizes, and participants are encouraged to share how they get on in the comments. The quiz is labeled No 222 and opens with 'Allons-y!'. Clear instructions are given for contesting perceived errors, and a track called 'Ain't Quite Right' by Still Blank is suggested.
