Thursday news quiz: torchbearers, traitors and troublemakers

News Quiz Roundup: Who's on the Right Side of History?

This week, we're putting our knowledge to the test with a quiz that's all about navigating the complex world of current events. From torchbearers who shine bright but risk burning out, to traitors in disguise, and troublemakers causing chaos, it's clear that truth is often stranger than fiction.

Can you tell us what's at stake when it comes to making bold statements? Are we like a question mark, unsure of how to proceed? Or are we the mustache on our colleagues' faces, confident but misplaced?

Take our quiz and find out. Fifteen questions in all, covering everything from pop culture to general knowledge. There aren't any prizes up for grabs, but we can't wait to hear your thoughts and insights.

Did you spot an error? If so, feel free to point it out and show us your work. We're always up for a good fact-checking session. And if you'd rather indulge in some soothing music instead, why not give Fallen Cloud by Austra a listen?

As the saying goes, "allons-y!" โ€“ let's get started!
 
omg have u seen the latest video from astra she's literally my spirit animal ๐Ÿ˜ i mean what's not to love about a talented artist who makes music that's like a symphony of emotions? and now they're featuring her track fallen cloud in the article ๐ŸŽต i'm so stoked it's like, totally fitting for the vibe of the quiz round up, u know? anywayz back to the quiz ๐Ÿค” what do u think is at stake when ppl make bold statements? are we just winging it or is there some deeper meaning? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean, who doesn't love a good quiz, right? It's like trying to guess how many bytes are in your favorite meme pic... yeah, it's not gonna happen ๐Ÿคฃ. But seriously, what's up with the phrase "traitors in disguise"? Sounds like something from a bad action movie script ๐Ÿ’ฅ. I mean, we should all just be our genuine selves and hope for the best, right? No need to hide behind false mustaches ๐Ÿ˜‚. Can't wait to see who gets the highest score... or maybe it's all just about having fun ๐ŸŽ‰!
 
I got no patience for these quizzes anymore ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. It's all just about showing off and making us think we're experts when really we're just winging it. What's wrong with having a nice cuppa and just enjoying the ride? We're all in this together, and sometimes that means taking things one step at a time and not worrying too much about being on the "right side of history". Life's too short to get caught up in trying to be right all the time ๐ŸŒž.
 
๐Ÿค” The real question here is who gets to decide what's "on the right side of history"? ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ It's like they're trying to frame the conversation around being a hero or villain, but what about nuance? What about context? Can't we just have an honest discussion without having to label people as "torchbearers" or "traitors"?

And another thing, why are we only focusing on bold statements? Don't we need more substance in our discussions? It feels like they're trying to simplify complex issues into easy soundbites. ๐Ÿ“บ We should be having more in-depth conversations about the implications of these "bold statements". It's not just about being confident or unsure, it's about doing the hard work of understanding the complexities at play.

And can we talk about fact-checking for a second? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ How do they expect us to spot errors when their own framing is biased? I mean, I'm all for a good debate, but let's make sure our facts are straight first. ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
man i'm tellin u this quiz is all about distractin us from the real issues. like what's goin on with all these high-profile controversies? it's like they're tryin to make us think we need a refresher course on current events, but really they're just tryin to keep us in the dark ๐Ÿค”. and don't even get me started on this "right side of history" stuff... it sounds like they're tryin to label certain groups as "heroes" while ignorein the real heroes who are doin the work behind the scenes ๐Ÿ‘€. and what's with all these questions about pop culture? like, isn't that just a distraction from the issues at hand? ๐ŸŽถ i'll be takin this quiz but only to see if they're tryin to pull a fast one on us ๐Ÿ˜.
 
Umm, idk about this quiz thingy... it seems kinda weird that they're asking if we're on the right side of history and stuff ๐Ÿค”. Like, isn't that just what historians and journalists do? Are we supposed to be experts in current events or something? ๐Ÿ˜Š And what's with the torchbearers and traitors and troublemakers? Is this some kinda game show or somethin'? ๐ŸŽ‰ I mean, I love a good pop culture quiz, but this all seems super serious... is it? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm like, super down with this quiz thingy ๐Ÿค“ it's always good to test your knowledge and stuff. I think what's key here is being aware of how you're coming across - are you shining bright or just burning out? ๐Ÿ˜… And honestly, sometimes the truth can be super tricky to figure out, so don't worry if you're unsure. The important thing is that we keep asking questions and trying to learn from each other ๐Ÿค”. I'm all about fact-checking too - it's like, super important to make sure we're on the same page ๐Ÿ’ฏ. And if you need a little pick-me-up while taking the quiz, Fallen Cloud by Austra is like, an amazing soundtrack ๐ŸŽต!
 
๐Ÿค” I'm not sure about this quiz format, it feels kinda scattered. Like, one minute we're talking about torchbearers and the next we're throwing around terms like traitors and troublemakers... could use a clearer structure ๐Ÿ“‹ maybe some headings or a flowchart to guide us through?
 
i feel like we gotta be careful when makin' big statements online too ๐Ÿค” they can either spark somethin good or kinda mess everything up ๐Ÿ˜ฌ so yeah, i'm all for takin the time to think before hit that tweet button ๐Ÿ’ป also lovin the Fallen Cloud by Austra, it's like the perfect vibe while you're fact-checkin ๐Ÿ‘
 
I think it's great that they're making a quiz about current events - my kid is always asking me what's going on and I want to make sure I'm giving her accurate info ๐Ÿค”. But can we just simplify the questions a bit? My youngest keeps getting confused with all the terms like "torchbearers" and "traitors"... maybe they could break it down for her in smaller chunks ๐Ÿ‘
 
I think this quiz is gonna be lit ๐Ÿคฉ I'm all about it, gotta test my knowledge and see where I stand on current events. The questions are all over the place, but that's what makes it interesting, right? Torchbearers who shine bright but risk burning out... I mean, can't we just give everyone a trophy for trying? ๐Ÿ’ช Let me get started, but first, can someone please explain to me why they said "allons-y" ๐Ÿค”
 
I'm a bit confused about this quiz thingy ๐Ÿค”, but I think it's kinda cool that they're asking questions about current events. Like, who are these torchbearers and troublemakers? Shouldn't we be the ones guiding the way instead of just making bold statements and hoping for the best? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Also, I'm not sure if I'd call them "traitors in disguise" though... that sounds a bit dramatic ๐Ÿ˜‚. Anyway, I'll give it a shot and see what I can learn.
 
Ugh, people think they can just make bold statements without knowing the facts? Like, no one knows what's at stake anymore ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And what's with all these torchbearers who risk burning out? Can't they see they're just setting themselves up for a massive crash and burn ๐Ÿ”ฅ? And don't even get me started on traitors in disguise... I mean, it's like they think they can just pretend to care about something without actually doing any of the work ๐Ÿ™„. Anyway, 15 questions isn't much considering how complicated the world is these days.
 
I'm so glad they're finally tackling the really tough questions... like who's been burning out and who's just being extra ๐Ÿ˜’. I mean, it's not like we've got enough to worry about in this world already. And by "we", I assume you mean everyone except for maybe those who are just trying to make a living and not stir up controversy ๐Ÿ™„. Anyway, on to the quiz! I'm sure I'll ace it... after all, I've been practicing my "mustache" face in the mirror ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Can't wait to see how many of us will be confidently but misplaced ๐Ÿ’ก.
 
Ugh, another quiz from these guys ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I mean, can't they come up with something more interesting than just 15 questions on current events? It's not like we're short on info around here ๐Ÿ˜’. And what's with the 'right side of history' nonsense? Like, who gets to decide that anyway? ๐Ÿค” The whole thing just feels like a shallow attempt to make us think we're part of some grand conversation ๐Ÿ’ญ.

And don't even get me started on the lack of prizes ๐Ÿค‘. I mean, what's the point of doing this quiz if there's no reward? It's just going to be a bunch of people spewing out answers and hoping for feedback ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Give us something more engaging, like a debate thread or something ๐ŸŽ‰. This is just so... basic ๐Ÿ‘Ž.
 
I'm loving this quiz thingy ๐Ÿค”. I mean, who doesn't love a good challenge? But seriously, it's like they're asking us to be our own superheroes, saving the world from misinformation ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ. I think that's what makes it so hard โ€“ we've got to stay informed and stay woke, all at once ๐Ÿ’ก.

And omg, I'm totally down for a good fact-checking session ๐Ÿ”! It's like, how can we trust anything these days? But hey, at least we're all in this together, right? And that song Fallen Cloud by Austra? Goals ๐ŸŽต. Can't wait to take the quiz and see how many questions I get right ๐Ÿ˜…. Bring it on! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก I don't know about that quiz thingy... how can we be sure who's right and who's wrong? We all have our own opinions and perspectives ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack... or in this case, trying to figure out what the "right" side of history is ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ.
 
This quiz thingy seems kinda like trying to find your place in the online world ๐Ÿค”. I mean, what's the real deal? Is everyone just winging it and hoping for the best? Or are there some people out there who genuinely know what they're talking about? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I feel like we need more nuanced conversations about current events, you know? Just 'cause someone makes a bold statement doesn't mean it's always true or good ๐Ÿ’ก. And honestly, I'm kinda tired of the whole "mustache on our colleagues' faces" vibe ๐Ÿ˜’. Can't we just have real, honest discussions without all the drama and spin? ๐Ÿค—
