All hail the Thursday quiz! The kind of quiz where we can pass time in the comments debating what should be the precise wording of a GCSE-level science multiple choice question while making the world a better place. Fifteen questions on recent news and general knowledge, with a few punchlines and regular characters thrown in for good measure. There is no prize. It is just fun. You can pick up a bonus point if you spot an oblique reference to Doctor Who along the way. Have fun!

The Thursday quiz, No 64

1.‘ERE WE GO: A kid goat called Simba with extraordinarily long ears has become famous. Where does it live?

2.BOO WILBURY: A new one-off recording by Bob Dylan was auctioned for $1.5m last week. Which song did he record?

3.AN OFFER YOU CAN’T REFUSE: We lost the great James Caan, who starred in the Godfather. But which iconic Corleone did he play in the 1972 epic?

4.EURO 2022: On Monday night, England’s women set a new record for scoring the most goals in a single game in a European Championship finals match. How many did they net against Norway?

5.ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS SEX: That’s a 1983 Sparks song where they get ‘busted by that nun’. But that’s not important right now. Which pests in the UK might be given oral contraceptives by scientists to stop them multiplying and being a nuisance?

6.SWEET BABY CHEESES: Which of these options is NOT a variety of cheese produced in Germany?

7.IT’S A DOG’S LIFE: This is Willow, the official dog of the Guardian’s Thursday quiz. But what was the name of Odysseus’ faithful dog in Homer’s Odyssey?

8.SECRETS OF THE STARS: Nasa’s brand new James Webb Space Telescope gizmo has taken one of the greatest astronomy photographs of all time (pictured). How far back in time do scientists say the furthest light in it originates?

9.THE LIVES OF SAINTS: St David is the patron saint of Wales. Which of these miracles is attributed to him by those who wrote about him in medieval times?

10.WEIRD WORDS: Which of these words, according to the Collins online dictionary, means ‘a soft boot, usually of sealskin, worn by Inuit people’?

11.A WORK OF ART: A gang has been caught faking an entire sporting league – even live streaming it on YouTube – to con money out of Russian gamblers. Which league?

12.ALLONS-Y: The website Wikivoyage lists 23 locations visited by fictional Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in Eighty Days. But obviously he also had to get home again, so number 24 is London once more. Which of these is the Latin motto on the coat of arms of the City of London?

13.1966 AND ALL THAT: A series of questions that aren’t about football leading up to the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar which is subject to multiple bribery allegations. The 1950 Fifa World Cup was held in Brazil. What is the name of the currency Brazil uses today?

14.VIDEO GAMES: In some translations of the original Pac-Man video game, three of the ghosts were called Blinky (red), Pinky (pink) and Inky (cyan). What was the orange ghost called in that translation?

15.THIS WOMAN’S WORK: Kate Bush enjoyed her well-deserved UK No 1 singles 44 years apart. Which of these sets of events were also 44 years apart?

  • If you do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers, please feel free to email martin.belam@theguardian.com, but remember, the quiz master’s word is always final, and please, please, please, do check you aren’t about to make a fool of yourself first.
