Have a crack at this week's newsquiz

The top scorer in last week’s newsquiz was Sophie Jamieson with 13.5, although she admits to giving herself three 'generous' half marks. Janet Boyle scored 13, Jessica McKay 12, Tom Witherow 11 and Chris Lennon 10. Nobody else recorded double figures, so it must have been a tough one. The best team performance was by the Penmans, aided by a news hungry 16-year-old, who scored an impressive 17. The Batstone Collective who average 15 each week, scored 12 ... another indication that it was a difficult week. Here's this week's quiz. As usual there are 25 points up for grabs. Let me know how you get on.
