How it works
This quiz is conducted on a multiple-choice basis via Google Forms, and you have until next Saturday at 23:59 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!

This week, the tiebreaker question is a caption competition! If there's a tie for first place, the winner of the prize will be the person who gives in the funniest caption to the image on the form.

This week the focus is on international news, with a few cynical words from your humble quiz master along the day.

7/10 this time - little bit difficult but I like the tie-breaker idea. Q9 was a really random though 😅

The results are in! If you recall, the tiebreaker question was a caption competition so I had to exercise some discretion, but rest assured I was not choosing between myself and anyone else, and I also got the second opinion of @Saracen's Fez (without telling him the user names). We both chose the same answer as the winning caption!

@Evil Homer / @Blinkr – could you please do the honours and issue the rep prizes? (100 to the winner, 50 to second place and 30 to third place) :biggrin:

I will leave it to @04MR17 to decide who wins the bonus +12 rep for funniest answer overall.
