The Journal Friday Newshound Quiz
Woof woof baby!
SOME SAY THE news is the first draft of history. Others might think of it as watching pub quiz questions unfold in real time.
It’s Friday — you’re tired, the quiz maker’s tired, we’re all tired.
But with the weekend in sight, it’s time to dig deep and muster the enthusiasm to tackle the only news quiz on the internet (the only one that truly matters, anyway).
There are no prizes, but if you try hard enough, the sweet sense of achievement might just carry you through to tomorrow.
