Thursday News Quiz No. 223: Test Your Topical Knowledge
Thursday News Quiz: Hasty Exits and Horny Bees

Are you ready to put your current affairs knowledge to the test? The beloved Thursday news quiz is back for its 223rd edition, promising another round of brain-tickling questions.

A Slight Change of Schedule

Regular quiz enthusiasts might notice something different this week. The quiz has been published at the new, earlier time of 6.30am, a departure from its traditional 11am slot. The reason for this discombobulating change is that the quiz's author is currently working on the First Edition newsletter. This temporary arrangement has presented an opportunity to shamelessly plug the quiz's availability to an early-rising audience.

What to Expect in Quiz No. 223

This week's instalment maintains the classic format, challenging participants with 15 questions covering topical news and general knowledge. As always, the quiz is a purely charitable exercise for the mind, with no physical prizes on offer. However, the organisers are keen to hear how you performed and encourage you to share your score in the comments section.

The quiz covers a diverse range of topics, ensuring there's something for everyone. Before you begin, a word of caution: the quiz is designed for fun. If you believe you have spotted a genuine error in a question or answer, you are welcome to lodge a complaint in the comments. But be warned – you must be able to show your working and be absolutely certain you aren't attempting to fact-check a joke.

An Alternative to Quizzing

If testing your knowledge isn't your priority this Thursday, the article suggests an alternative: why not watch the music video for 'I Am the Fear' by the band IST IST instead? This offers a different form of cultural engagement for those looking to take a break from the news cycle.

So, whether you're a quiz aficionado or a casual participant, the 223rd Thursday news quiz awaits. Allons-y!
