Thursday news quiz: stolen saplings, legal happenings and a missing giraffe

Test yourself on topical news trivia, pop culture and general knowledge every Thursday. How will you fare? Sweltering heatwaves do nothing to deter the Thursday quiz. Well, OK, maybe a bit. The laptop is too hot to touch. The local animals are screeching and barking in a frenzy. People are playing their music too loud. But still, the quiz persists. Fifteen questions await you on topical news, general knowledge, popular culture and for some reason maths with goths, who are inevitably having a really hard time during such a hot summer. Anyway, let us know how you get on in the comments. 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. Or why not watch Wink Wink by Charli xcx instead?
