The Guardian Thursday quiz, 2026 edition.

[Mad Doug Biker]

Hello, I saw a few weeks ago people saying that the old Guardian thread was getting difficult to find as it was more than 2 years old or similar. I suggested starting a new one.

So... Here is a new thread for this year (and maybe even 2027 too). 'Hope nobody minds too much.

Anyway, without further delay, here is the quiz. Enjoy!:

A very modest 9/15 for me.
My excuse is that I have been watching what Trump is doing far too much and neglected the rest of the news.

So glad people are responding to the new thread.
I know I got in early and posted it at 06:36, but it then took a further 49 minutes for a response and I was getting a bit worried! 😆

Starting the year as I mean to go on, with a decidedly apathetic, lackadaisical, middling 7/15

Are you attempting to motivate me? I must warn you, this is not something that has ended well for those that have tried before you.

There's something very Douglas Adamsesque about that statement! 😆

A formative author for me, so I'll take that as a massive compliment! Don't think that's going to soften my stance though. I refuse to be buttered up.

A middling 9/15 to start the year
