Thursday news quiz: Stolen jewels, breakdancing fools and a car that’s breaking the rules

Life and style — Martin Belam

Every now and then the Thursday quiz pauses to ponder humanity’s ongoing obsession with setting records for things that do not need to exist. Last week we had a cat breaking the world record for toe-count and a robot running the 100 metres faster than Usain Bolt. One feels a bit unnecessary, the other feels like the plot of a dystopian 1980s sci-fi film. Neither feel like things we used to actually count. Never mind. Here are 15 question on topical news, general knowledge and pop culture to amuse and delight. No anteaters were harmed in the making of this quiz. Allons-y!

If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers – and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren’t attempting to factcheck a joke – you can complain about it in the comments below. Why not watch Fucking Closure by Julia Cummings instead?
