Welcome to your TSR News Quiz of the Week!

Welcome to the hundred-and-ninety-fourth 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:

I'm closing the rep competition now to award the prizes:

:king1:

2nd: @ⓁⒶⒾⒷⒶ (9/10 + second-nearest tiebreaker)
:king3:

3rd: @Geo Lover 7 (9/10)
4th: @Fat_scout (8/10)
=5th: @CheeseIsVeg and @flowersinmyhair (7/10)

A very, very tight podium this time round, as the tiebreaker answer was close to being equidistant between the top two players' answers too, but congratulations to our winner this week! :woo:

@PileaP/@Evil Homer, could you please award the usual rep prizes (100/50/30)? :smile:

If you've not seen, this week's quiz has now gone live here – and if it was your first time this time, I've added you to the list to be tagged when new quizzes go live. Please let me know if you'd not like to be on this list.
