Welcome to Slate’s weekly news quiz. It’s Friday, which means it’s time to test your knowledge of the week’s news events. Your host, Ray Hamel, has concocted questions on news topics ranging from politics to business, from culture to sports to science. At the end of the quiz, you’ll be able to compare your score with that of the average contestant, as well as that of a Slatester who has agreed to take the quiz on the record. This week’s contestant is Ben Richmond, the senior director of operations for podcasts.
Can you ace the quiz and beat Richmond? Good luck!
The U.S. Treasury has given the OK for a Trump $1 coin. The tough decision becomes which image to use: Trump as firefighter? As superhero? As Rambo? As the pope? As Fat Elvis? My vote goes to that last one. A little less conversation, a little more Slate News Quiz, please.
