It is time once again for the Thursday quiz, newly restored to the Guardian website after a summer hiatus. If you are new to the format, think of it as a mix between a topical news quiz and a pub quiz, but sillier. Much, much sillier. There are no prizes, it is just for fun, but let us know how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!

The Thursday news quiz, No 215

  1. 1.At least 900 tourists were stranded near which famous South American tourist attraction after protesters blocked train tracks with rocks?

    Train tracks

  2. 2.Researchers monitoring a melting glacier on the Marmolada, the largest peak in the Italian Dolomites (pictured), said they were astonished to witness a tourist navigating one of its trails on what?

    View on the Marmolada glacier

  3. 3.The FBI director, Kash Patel (pictured), appeared for a hearing in front of the US Senate judiciary committee wearing a tie featuring the logo of which European football team?

    Kash Patel

  4. 4.Which show won best drama series at the 2025 Emmy awards?

    A discarded television set

  5. 5.A Ben & Jerry’s co-founder (not pictured, that is the product) has stepped away from the ice-cream brand after nearly 50 years, claiming it has lost its independence. Which one?

    Ice cream

  6. 6.A choir has been suspended for singing an “inappropriate hymn” in a cathedral (not pictured, that is a big church in Rome and the quizmaster). Where?

    Martin Belam outside the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican

  7. 7.A baffled bride (not pictured) has solved the mystery of the awkward-looking stranger who crashed her wedding four years ago. Who was it?

    Wedding thing

  8. 8.Some heartless fool has been shooting at donkeys in southern California. What is the name of the latest victim (pictured), who is recovering after being found with a blue arrow protruding from her right shoulder?

    Donkey

  9. 9.Rome’s mayor (not pictured) has ordered a woman (also not pictured) to stop feeding dozens of what (honestly, the picture is completely irrelevant) that have overrun an apartment block?

    Roman solider recreation

  10. 10.A digital assistant (not pictured, that is K-9, Doctor Who’s digital assistant) that helps people navigate government services online has become the first “virtually created” AI cabinet minister in which country?

  12. 12.Who briefly eclipsed that other guy as the richest man in the world?

    Some tiny money

  13. 13.This week’s guest canine is Nutmeg, who remained stoic while the Thursday quiz made a somewhat ill-advised drunken late-night approach to her owner at a tube station to get the photo. Nutmeg wants to know which country just appointed its first female prime minister after protests about a national social media crackdown?

    Nutmeg on the London Underground

  14. 14.John Daly not only ruined a good walk but made it into the PGA Tour Champions record books with the highest-ever score on the par-five 12th hole at the Sanford International. How long did his ball-thwacking saga last?

    Golf

  15. 15.And finally … a report by the thinktank Common Wealth claims the UK public has paid how much to shareholders of key industries since privatisation?

    Loads of money

If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers – and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren’t attempting to factcheck a joke – you can complain about it in the comments below. Why not watch Porcupine by Sparks instead? It has the impeccable Self Esteem starring in it too.
