The Guardian Thursday quiz, 2026 edition.

8/15 if anyone's counting

I merely said that I was thinking about adding the score to the beginning of the BBC quiz thread as a re - cap/summary and Classic went off in a huff 🤷‍♂️

I'll update the scores when I play later if nobody already has.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Ok, so with our usual scoremaster A.W.O.L. and off in a huff or something, here are the scores from last week's quiz (06/08/26).
Apologies for the lateness.
I have also added what you all scored for clarity (and also for me to make sure I've got the maths right!):

1 @steverob 313 (+10)
2 @T4tomo 311 (+10)
3 @Mad Doug Biker 304 (+10)
4 @C R 301 (+8)
5 @ianrauk 288 (no score)
6 @richardfm 274 (+6)
7 @No Ta Doctor 270 (+8)
8 @BrumJim 245 (+6)
9 @VinSumRox 239 (+6)
10 @slow scot 229 (+7)
11 @classic33 177 (no score)
12 @Electric_Andy 165 (+5)
13 @Tashman 86 (no score)
14 @mistyoptic 52 (+8) ⬆️1
15 @lazybloke 44 (no score) ⬇️1
16 @the_mikey 27 (+7)

@ianrauk, @classic33, @Tashman and @lazybloke, no scores?


The only change is @mistyoptic overtaking @lazybloke to take 14th place, well done!

As it is, I just hope my attempt here is ok with everyone.

Just so you know, and can then state correctly, my post(on this thread) simply stated after the scores "I'm out from this point on.

I know you did, but I am not sure if this is just the usual play - acting or what?
Besides, I see you have posted a score on the BBC one, so... 🤔

I merely made a suggestion as it's usually me who posts the quizzes anyway.
I was just going to repeat your score posts as a reference/summary at the beginning, never did I say I was taking over. 🤷‍♂️

If you just want a break though, then nobody would blame you!

There is a possibility @Mad Doug Biker that you misinterpreted @classic33

I think we both have misunderstood each other to be honest.

Last call for posting a score this week
@ianrauk
@classic33
@Tashman
@lazybloke
@the_mikey

With no changes in the scoreboard this week, it appears that it is just business as usual.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Oh and I scored 10/15 too, I forgot to say.
