TSR News Quiz of the Week #159 (3rd Aug 2024)

Welcome to your TSR News Quiz of the Week!


Welcome to the hundred-and-fifty-ninth instalment of the News Quiz of the Week series, which has been running since 2020!

Visit the master thread for more details of the series, and to sign up for notifications when a quiz goes live!

How it works
This quiz is conducted on a multiple-choice basis via Microsoft Forms, and you have until next Friday at 00:00 to play the game. The form will ask you to fill in your TSR username, and this is essential if you want to be in contention for the prize! Please feel free to comment and share your scores below this also makes verifying the scores easier!

The tiebreaker question is a free-typed question where the answer is a number. If there's a tie for first place, the winner of the prize will be the person who gets closest to the correct answer. (And it can also help us spot anyone who looks like they might have received help from the internet as they did the quiz!)



Scoring
The form will automatically score the quiz for you. The prizes awarded are as follows:
:king1: 100 rep
:king2: 50 rep
:king3: 30 rep

Happy quizzing!

Yay 9/10. Weird as the 2 I guessed I got right but the King Charles one which I thought was right was wrong. Ugh I was a couple of million off on the Olympics thing too. I doubt I’ll do that well ever again.

I’m a news freak tho guys. And the VAT, Andy Murray and the social media question, I knew outside of the news.

lol imagine if I win my first… it’s unlikely thought with 9/10 and being far off on the tiebreaker. But this is an easy way to get rep. 3 first, 3 second and 3 third in a year is a realistic target.

"it's unlikely though with 9/10" do you realize that's the highest anyone's gotten?
your chances of winning are very high unless someone else gets a 9/10 and closer on the tiebreaker or 10/10

How many people do this? 50? 20? No-one claims to have got higher but might be holding their horses.
