Quiz of the week! Episode 4!

Welcome to Quiz of the Week: The Last of the August Wine News!

:yeah: This week's quiz is happening this Saturday (29th August) at 20:00 UK time! :yeah:


This week will see questions on all things news - exclusively events that have happened in the last 7 days. Expect headlines, expect photos, and (most crucially for a quiz) expect some questions that you have to answer! :zomg:

The Rules:
- Questions will be posted in the thread every 5 minutes
- There will be 10 questions in total
- Post your answer in the thread, putting it in a spoiler might be beneficial so others don't see it
- Post you answer before the next question is asked in order for your answer to be counted. :yy:
- Don't cheat :naughty:

Once again we'll have a prize of 100 rep points for the winner! For more information on the series of weekly quizzes and notifications when quizzes take place, visit the master thread!

Can we change the timing of these to a time like midday so i can take part ? :frown: The current one means i'm unable to being 7am on a sunday morning out of the question :frown:
Well, if I am around I might take part. This will be interesting as I am currently on a 'news' break.
I'd sort of forgotten it was quiz night but I should be around!

I'm sure that's something we can think about to vary the time a little bit in future weeks.

Just tagging @CatusStarbright for reference. :smile:

Yes, this has been flagged to me before. Ultimately the time depends on availability, but I'm sure there could be a slightly earlier one sometime. Midday would be about 1am in New Zealand would it not @Napp?

Question 1:
A palaeontologist stumbled upon a 166-million-year-old dinosaur fossil this week on the Scottish island of Eigg. But which kind of dinosaur was it?
(Hint: it's fairly well known)

Question 2:
YouTube have confirmed that Korean boy band BTS published the first video to be viewed more than 100 million times in 24 hours! :yikes:
But what was the name of the song - the group's first to be sung entirely in English - that broke the record?


They do get gradually easier, I'm starting with the harder ones (in my opinion!) :colondollar:
