    A just above average 13 for me.
    I found this the hardest Joe quiz so far, and by some way:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Agree. Calling 18 a good score.

    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!

    The Thursday news quiz, No 217

    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...uiz-general-knowledge-topical-news-trivia-217

    5    ... got the first three guesses wrong. Knew the Kidman one and one other. Calling 10 a good score.

    Enjoy

    I got 7.
    Knew 2, the rest were mostly incorrect guesses.

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

    10/15 Good or lucky not sure.
    A lot of the questions I had read the story so had a good idea of the answer. There were a couple of educated guesses and a pure fluke.
    Overall, I'm happy with that :emoticon-0100-smile

    You got...10/15
    Happy with that - even though I told myself what would be an actor name, but still selected a different one.
    Cheers Blond

    @gelders pie
    You may wish to look at your tecent post as it could be construed as a clue.
    Wouldn't want people to complain that they had been misled in any way
    Oh no
    Definitely not

    Scraped over average with an 8/15. Knew most but a couple of random guesses helped.

    Oops - never thought ( obviously getting 10 used up all of today’s allocation of clever brain cells)
    It’s been edited - ( presume thanks to Gordon )
