Welcome once again to the Guardian Thursday quiz, a test of the little grey cells and how much useless information they have retained from the week’s news, as well as a smattering of general knowledge and pop culture questions. It is like a pub quiz, but without any feedback from the mic or drunk heckling about the answers in the background. Although we do sometimes get that in the comments. We hope you enjoy it – and let us know how you get on …
