It's that time of the week again. The Thursday news quiz is back with its 224th edition, ready to test your wits on the week's biggest stories, pop culture moments, and a healthy dose of dubious general knowledge.
What's in Store for Quiz Number 224?
This week's instalment serves up another 15 questions designed to challenge and entertain. From the latest viral sensations on TikTok to celebrating sporting hat-trick heroes and even the heart-warming tale of a rescued baby otter, the quiz covers a wide spectrum of topics. As always, the format encourages a bit of fun, blending the seriously topical with the playfully nonsensical.
A Philosophical Interlude and a Musical Alternative
The quiz isn't afraid to address the big issues, or at least, the pedantic ones. Following a debate in last week's comments section about whether the first line of a play includes stage directions or just spoken words, the quiz has taken a firm stance against such dramaturgical quibbling. However, it reserves the right to be pedantic itself when it sees fit.
For those who might spot what they believe is a genuine error in the quiz, the instructions are clear: complaints are only welcome in the comments if you can show your working and are 100% positive you aren't attempting to fact-check a joke. Alternatively, why not take a break and watch the music video for Mangetout by the band Wet Leg instead?
So, limber up your brain, push aside any philosophical conundrums, and see how you fare with this week's topical nonsense. Don't forget to let everyone know how you got on in the comments section. The show, as they say, must go on.
