Welcome to the Thursday news quiz, where it pays to listen carefully – although not necessarily to the extent of developing a question mark for an ear, as our illustration by Anaïs Mims may suggest. Have you been paying attention to the week’s events or just hearing half the story? Fifteen questions await on topical news, pop culture and general knowledge, generously sprinkled with some in-jokes. There are no prizes, but we always enjoy hearing how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!

  10. 10.The people trying to rescue a humpback whale that was stranded for weeks off Germany’s Baltic coast have had to admit that the tracker they fitted to it isn't working, so nobody knows what has happened to it. What is (or … was?) its name?The whale

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 Why Am I Like This? by Grace Kay and Kirsten Izer instead?
