The final Thursday news quiz of 2025 is a bumper 20-question edition, covering AI mishaps, fan fury and a tiny baby hippo. The quizmaster thanked readers for their support during the Great Thursday Quiz Hiatus of 2025™, when he was off sick.
The quiz, a small festive tradition involving news and jokes, returns in the new year. Readers can sign up for First Edition to receive a quiz-style roundup on Christmas Day.
Participants are invited to flag any egregious errors in the comments, provided they are absolutely certain they are not attempting to factcheck a joke.
