Test yourself with the newsquiz

Last week's newsquiz was clearly a toughie with, for the first time ever, no individual recording a score in double figures. Alex Murphy scored 9.5 - well below his average. The top team score was by the Penmans with a very impressive 18.5. Here is this week's effort - a little later than usual as it has been a particularly busy day. I suspect it is a bit easier. Let me know how you get on.
