The Guardian's weekly news quiz is back with a new edition. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.
This edition of the quiz humorously references international units of time. In particular, it mentions unconventional units such as the Liz Truss (49 days) and the Scaramucci (11 days). Now a new unit of measurement has been added to the list: the Zacharia (five days).
As the publication notes, whatever arbitrary length of time the world invents to measure chaos, political downfalls or social media meltdowns, the Thursday news quiz remains unchanged. It is always seven days apart, unwavering, inescapable and ultimately reliable.
The quiz traditionally includes questions on topical news, pop culture and general knowledge. There are no prizes on offer for correct answers except pride or shame.
The publication invites readers to answer the questions and notes that if they really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers, they can complain about it in the comments below. However, it emphasizes that they should not attempt to factcheck a joke.
Additionally, the quiz authors suggest that readers watch "Don't Call It Love" by Jonathan Bree feat Adah Dylan.
The main goal of the quiz is to test readers' awareness of current news and introduce them to interesting facts. It is updated weekly with new questions.
