How will you fare?One of these days, like an exciting curveball, the Thursday quiz is going to end up appearing on a Wednesday or a Friday, just to keep everybody on their toes. But not this week.

Questions on general knowledge and topical trivia, plus a few jokes, every Thursday. How will you fare?The Thursday quiz has always been interested in fjords, not least since it was revealed in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that they were the design work of Slartibartfast.

Instead, we have the usual: 15 questions on topical news, general knowledge and popular culture.
