TSR News Quiz of the Week #215 (7th November 2025)

Welcome to your TSR News Quiz of the Week!

Welcome to the two hundred-and-fifteenth 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 Google Forms, and you have until next Sunday 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 quiz questions are a mix of different domestic and international news, with a couple of domestic questions in there towards the end! We also have a tiebreaker, where you are asked to estimate a number, we will use the tiebreak answers as needed if we have ties for some of the prize positions.

The form will automatically score the quiz for you. The prizes awarded are as follows:
