Congratulations on making it not just to the end of this week, but to the end of what, at least from where I’m sitting, feels like an endless, heartbreaking slog of a January. That’s why I’m hoping, more fervently than usual, that the News Quiz can serve as a kind of temporary, 10-question respite from it all; an educating, enlightening and entertaining glance back at the light(er)hearted headlines of the last seven days.
We’re at the start of a new year. Take time to plan your next adventures using our expert guides that offer opportunities for fun, road trips, self-care and more for every month of 2025.
What’s in the mix this week? Well, the recent Academy Award nominations for starters; also a potentially history-making Super Bowl LIX, the WNBA All-Star about to add a spark to the Sparks (hint, she shares a name with a certain type of fruit), President Trump’s words of water wisdom for California, Spirit Airlines’ new ban, a tiebreaking vote for Pete Hegseth and more.
If you kept up on the news of the week, you should be able to answer these questions easily. Are you ready to have some fun? I am. Let’s get started.
