Elections, budgets, and geese
The latest edition of the Thursday news quiz is now live, offering readers a chance to test their knowledge on a mix of serious political events and lighthearted general trivia. This week’s 15 questions cover recent elections, the UK budget statement, pop culture, and a specific fascination with geese.
While many readers may have been following the results of several consequential elections or listening to the UK’s budget statement, the editorial team behind the quiz noted a different priority. According to the source, the writers at Thursday Quiz towers were all obsessing about one thing: why geese are so adorably cute yet obnoxious.
The quiz invites participants to answer questions across these varied topics. It is designed as a weekly feature, encouraging readers to see how they fare against the current news cycle and general knowledge challenges.
How to participate and complain
Readers are encouraged to engage with the content by sharing their results. The source explicitly invites participants to let the team know how they get on in the comments section, ending the invitation with the word “Honk!”
The quiz also includes a specific provision for those who believe there has been an egregious error in the questions or answers. The source states that readers can complain about such errors in the comments below, provided they can show their working and are absolutely 100% positive they are not attempting to factcheck a joke.
For those who prefer not to engage with the quiz or the complaints process, the source suggests an alternative activity. It recommends watching “Roses” by the band Chvrches instead.
