Glitching maps, missing bees and antique cheese – take the Thursday quiz
One of these days, like an exciting curveball, the Thursday quiz is going to end up appearing on a Wednesday or a Friday, just to keep everybody on their toes. But not this week. It is definitely Thursday, and this is definitely an increasingly weirdly niche quiz about topical news, general knowledge, and pop culture, which is excited today to lean into genuine newsy questions about Sparks and Doctor Who. There are no prizes, sadly, as the Thursday quiz operates on the most shoestring of budgets, but we hope you have fun and will let us know how you get on in the comments. The Thursday quiz, No 213 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 Return The Day (Colours) by Dog Race instead?

Racing cheeses, spicy birthdays and a fun celebrity gatecrash – take the Thursday quiz
The Thursday quiz has always been interested in fjords, not least since it was revealed in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that they were the design work of Slartibartfast. However, it is difficult to ask questions about them. What is the longest fjord? Well, where are you measuring from and how are you accounting for curves? How many fjords are there in Norway? Nobody has ever really added them all up, have they? And anyway, how big does an inlet have to be before it can be considered a fjord? So, no fjord questions this week. Instead, we have the usual: 15 questions on topical news, general knowledge and popular culture. There are no prizes, but let us know how you got on in the comments … The Thursday quiz, No 212 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.

Rio's record, giant dogs and a psychic crocodile – take the Thursday quiz
Last week in the comments one user suggested they were going to try to work the new Thursday quiz Minecraft movie-related catchphrase – 'Chicken jockey your way out of that one, sunshine' – into a meeting at work, which is to be applauded, and hopefully will inspire more people to do so. But before going out to spread the message, you are faced with 15 questions, mixing up topical news, general knowledge and pop culture trivia in the usual fashion. Enjoy!
