TSR News Quiz of the Week #170 (19th Oct 2024)

Welcome to your TSR News Quiz of the Week!


Welcome to the hundred-and-seventieth 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!

I just tried using the quote function - it always re-arranges your username to 7 Geo Lover; must be a bug then.

That was correct and it seems to have marked it incorrect for you but registered it as the correct answer by others! :dontknow: Think this one will need a manual check before I reveal results if Forms is being funny :beard:

EDIT: Apologies, no, it did mark it as correct in scoring and I messed up my Balkan nations checking your answers :facepalm:
