Express News Quiz: Chandrayaan-3, Putin’s ‘rival’ & the Barbie controversy

This week’s news quiz explores a lot of shaky ground—in the kind of stories we dig into, as well as the quiz format itself. We normally do majority MCQ-style, but to encourage critical thinking, there are a lot more ‘fill in the blank’ questions this time. Not to worry though, as they can be easily solved with educated guesses.

To get your final score, make sure to attempt everything. A list below the quiz box has the meaning of your results. P.S. Don’t miss how our newsroom fared on the recent Olympics quiz—scroll and watch the Reel at the end, and you’ll feel much better about your GK skills.

Here’s what your score means:

> 0-50: Big red flag. Start reading from our app!

> 50-100: Median score. You can do better, try another quiz!

> 100-150: Certified smart cookie.

> 150-200: A know-it-all, worthy of the badge.

> Over 200: We’re not worthy.
