Five of those "news" items were so completely Brit-centric and so completely trivial that it's no stretch to assume that they were never reported or even mentioned anywhere at all outside the UK.

I got the other two right.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Well yeah, Econo. It's a British Broadcasting Corp. poll designed for British people in Britain mostly about news in Britain

So well done on 2

3/7 - only knew one, the other two were lucky guesses. Didn't know the Montana question; haven't been listening to enough local news this week.

This one:
Nadiya Hussain has won this year's Great British Bake Off on BBC One, beating her rivals Tamal Ray and Ian Cumming. The three finalists dominated the whole series, winning the star baker award in all but two episodes. Who were the season's other two star bakers?
Doesn't even rise to the level of trivia...
