I might have got 8 on the Emojis round; it depends how marking goes.

I was pretty close on the tiebreaker but I definitely won't be coming close to winning :tongue:

I dont agree with one of the emoji answers, The emojis could have been made better (refering to number 3 here). I dont want to say much publically in case I give it away. But will see how the manual marking goes

Answers to News in Emojis:
1) Coronoation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla
2) Implosion of the Titan submersible
3) Arrest of Nicola Sturgeon
4) Finland joins NATO
5) Barbenheimer
6) Spain win FIFA Women's World Cup and Rubiales kiss scandal
7) Yevgeny Prigozhin rebels against Putin and later dies in a plane crash
8) New Beatles song
9) South Africa win Rugby World Cup 2023
10) Wham's Last Christmas is Christmas number 1

Some observations on News in Emojis:
5) Half a point was allowed for identifying each of Barbie and Oppenheimer
6) Half a point was awarded if only the world cup win was identified, or the Luis Rubiales kiss was identified but not linked to the world cup in some way. Leeway was given with identifying Rubiales's position as president of the federation.
7) Some reference to Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin or mutiny was required for the point

For all questions it was decided that the answer needed to refer to the news story intended by the quiz author.
