TSR Quiz of The Week #169 (12th October 2024)

It's time for Quiz of the Week again!

Welcome to the latest instalment of the Quiz of the Week series! I will be testing your knowledge of news stories from this week.

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 via Google Forms and there is no need to prove your score for this, as the quiz asks for your TSR username and I can see all responses.

Filling in a valid TSR username is a requirement for being placed on the scoreboard.
Please feel free to comment your scores below - it's fun to see how others have done!

Oh wait I was top? I thought I had no chance but yay. That’s now 500 rep from TSR quizzes which is amazing. No clue whether they’ve been added though :smile:

Ah ok - so the remaining 4 or 5 other ones where I was in the top 3 haven’t had rep added yet if there is no confirmation message? Makes sense thanks. 500 rep would take me pretty close to a 9th gem… exciting stuff
