Last week the New York Times ended up in a social media spat with Victoria Coren Mitchell, who noted the similarities between the BBC quizshow Only Connect’s connecting wall round and the NYT’s new “Connections” app. It is surely only a matter of time before that august paper is pilfering Thursday quiz rounds such as “For the longest times with Darren Grimes” and “Maths with Goths”. While the Thursday quiz legal team are limbering up to take them on, here is this week’s baffling assortment of general knowledge, topical news and downright silly questions for your enjoyment. The quizmaster is away this week but let us know how you get on in the comments.
