CNN's Year in Review News Quiz

For the last Friday of the year, I like to find a quiz about the past year. This year I stumbled upon CNN's 5 Things Year in Review Quiz. And I felt like that's the one I had to do. 

It's here for you to try: 

Year in Review Quiz: 2024

I got 14 out of 20, which I consider pretty good. (The quiz is US-centric, so feel free to skip it if you're not US based.) 

Why did I feel like I had to do this one? This past year I discovered CNN's "5 Things" sometime in the summer. It's a daily seven minute show that gives the main headlines for the day. (I stream it via Max.) 

Let me know how you did in the comments.

  1. I did poorly. 13/20. I don't know much about sports or musicians! A lot were more current news still in my mind.

    1. Yeah, I definitely lost out on the sports ones. (I think I got one right by chance.)

  3. 17/20. I got the Best Picture one wrong and the retired tennis player wrong, both in categories I don't pay much attention to.

    1. I only got the retired tennis player because my roommate is a tennis fan and she likes the guy.

    1. I'm glad you got some rest, but not happy to hear that your body forced you to. I hope you're feeling better now.

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
