Celebrate in style with champagne, fireworks, and sky lanterns, keeping in mind the potential fire hazards and threats to wildlife they may pose. It’s time for the 250th edition of the Guardian Thursday news quiz, a special milestone featuring an extensive collection of questions. This edition includes twenty-two inquiries covering current events, general knowledge, pop culture, and a revival of every familiar round we’ve hosted before, as long as they haven’t led to any legal complications. Let’s dive in!

The Thursday news quiz, now in its 250th iteration, invites you to test your knowledge.

If you believe there’s a significant mistake in any of the questions or answers—and can provide your reasoning while being completely certain that you are not misinterpreting a humorous remark—you are welcome to express your concerns in the comments section below.
