Now you might read the news every day hoping to better understand the world around you and make your way through life’s complicated twists and turns. The Thursday quiz, on the other hand, reads the news looking for the weird, the strange, the quirky, animals in unexpected places and, of course, French politicians attempting to make a heavy-handed visual metaphor with the books they are carrying. Sixteen questions await you this week – have fun and let us know how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!
The Thursday news quiz, No 220
