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.

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

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

    I got 15 out of 20. I didn't know the population of Gaza and some sports ones.

    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.

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

      It's funny how much stuff we just don't hear throughout the year.

    Merry Christmas! I took time off, I did way too much and my body shut down but I had a wonderful Christmas. I got 13 right. I should have known more.

      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.

    Skipping because it's US-centric.
