Thursday news quiz: superheroes, AI zeroes and a very lost shark
Thursday news quiz: superheroes, AI zeroes and a very lost shark

The Thursday news quiz returns with 15 questions spanning topical news, pop culture and general knowledge. This week's edition, No 267, follows a weekend that saw the quiz master trade the glamour of Istanbul for non-league football, watching Walthamstow FC score nine goals past Lowestoft Town.

A tough afternoon for Lowestoft

After the match, a brief exchange with the Lowestoft goalkeeper drew a weary response. When offered sympathy for the long afternoon, the keeper replied: "Long Saturday? Long fucking season."

Participants are invited to tackle the questions with optimism, though the quiz master notes that those who believe there has been an error in a question or answer must show their working and be certain they are not attempting to factcheck a joke. Complaints can be lodged in the comments below.

How to take part

The quiz is published every Thursday. For those seeking a musical interlude, the quiz master suggests watching "Swerve" by Trentemøller instead.
