We haven't had a quiz for a while
NYT quiz of 2020. (SPOILER ALERT - some of the questions are about COVID. I will deny ever having told you that.)
I got 17 out of 30. It's much harder than the regular weekly NYT quiz.

I flunked the sample questions yesterday, and saw no point in going any farther.
And I thought I was a bit of a news hound. I even have an online subscription to the NYT.

23/30, largely because things are even worse than I believed (guessed too high on Lebron NBA championships, too low on Swedish deaths, too dumb on TV.)
GAH!

I got 13 #16 was a gimme for the observant.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I gave up because the state election map still hadn't downloaded after 6 minutes

On Darren's computer the state election map still hasn't downloaded after 2 months.
Oh, and I got 17.

Too bad.
You should lite up more often.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Been lighting up daily since August- only way I’ve survived the election lead up and aftermath.

You should probably replenish your supply before it gets dark, or else you might have to use a Bud Lite.

Continual, habitual use of mood-altering chemicals. That explains a lot.
