Welcome to Slate’s weekly news quiz. It’s Friday, which means it’s time to test your knowledge of the week’s news events. Your host, Ray Hamel, has concocted questions on news topics ranging from politics to business, from culture to sports to science. At the end of the quiz, you’ll be able to compare your score with that of the average contestant, as well as that of a Slatester who has agreed to take the quiz on the record. This week’s contestant is senior editor Rebecca Onion.
Can you ace the quiz and beat Onion? Good luck!
Hurricane season suddenly appeared to descend upon England when the BBC Weather app warned of estimated wind speeds in London of 13,508 mph, and temperatures reaching 404 degrees C in Nottingham. That would put Category 5 Hurricane Milton to shame with peak winds of only 180 mph. (The BBC said it was working to fix the glitch.) See which way the wind blows in this week’s Slate News Quiz.
