Test your knowledge of this week’s big stories.

By

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 with the score of a Slatester who has agreed to take the quiz on the record. This week’s contestant is What Next producer Madeline Ducharme.

Can you ace the quiz and beat Ducharme? Good luck!

A license plate for Dr. Seuss is in the state of Massachuse. You cannot put it on a boat. You cannot put it on a goat. But if you put it on a car, oh, the places you’ll go far. In the Slate News Quiz, you’ll find you might learn a Thing One or Thing Two.
