TSR Quiz of the Week #166! (14th September 2024)

Welcome to your TSR News Quiz of the Week!

Welcome to the hundred-and-sixty-sixth instalment of the News Quiz of the Week! :biggrin:

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 Google 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!)

It was just that when I checked my answers there was a save option, but only if I signed in.

That is to save it for yourself, if you wanted to go back to it in the future.

(It's the 166th not the 165th FYI - wrong in the OP just in case you want to change it).

Officially 5/9 but could be 7. I didn't spell the full name of the athlete and reworded the Trump answer. Will I still get those marks? Long long way off the tiebreaker.

I think if you kinda got it for the worded answer questions, then you'd get the mark but dunno

Officially I have 1/9 but it should be 3/9 if you accept the way I've phrased some things :smile:

For the non-politicos among us, the tiebreaker question might give the wrong impression - it's actually the number of pensioners who may miss out once the means testing comes into place as they are not claiming the benefits they are entitled to and which would make them eligible to still keep the fuel allowance. Nerd alert :lol:
