NYT annual news quiz

I don't know if it is paywall limited - I have a subscription. I don't think it is but I can't be certain.

40 questions, mostly multiple choice, so set aside maybe 15 minutes.

I got 31.89 /40

I scored a little better than average with 32.80.

You certainly don't have to read the NYT daily to get most of the questions right. I have an online subscription, encouraged by my nephew who writes for their DC bureau, but I seldom have time to read it.

I tried to get it to show the graph, but it didn't.

Got bored after 5 questions.

24.5 - lots of people in there of whom I have never heard. Plus, not so much South Africa news . . . :oops:

31.32. Lots of names of people I don't recognize. But half the answers I got right were guesses.
