The Thursday quiz likes to believe there is a certain type of news story that regular readers will spot on the Guardian website, and immediately think “that is a shoo-in for the Thursday quiz” and commit every last detail to memory. This week’s quiz features quite a few stories like that, as well as the debut of a brand new exciting regular celebrity general knowledge round. As ever, there are no prizes, but we love to hear how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!

  2. 2.The Thursday quiz isn’t entirely sure what a tree has to do in order to win the annual tree of the year competition organised by the Woodland Trust in the UK, but which tree (not pictured) did it this year?

  11. 11.This is Willow, the official chonk of the Guardian Thursday quiz. She wants to know which species won New Zealand’s bird of the year for 2025, presumably so she can then bark at it like she does any pigeon she spots on the balcony. The winner was …
