Every Monday we turn a week of NPR and NY Post into ten rounds for your TV. Everyone plays on the phone they have in their pocket anyway.

What's the difference between solo and party?

In this week's quiz

Four questions from the party quiz. The answers are only on the TV.

  • Bluff round

    Ian Fleming borrowed the name James Bond from a real American. Who was the real James Bond?

    Invent an answer that fools the room.

  • Estimate

    How old is Manhattan's Little Red Lighthouse?

    Closest guess takes the points.

  • Auction

    For how many years did Cole's French Dip serve before it closed?

    Bid it up, but don't overshoot.

  • Would you rather …?

    Pay $34 for a burger at Disney, or $22 for its "glizzy of the month"?

    Pick a side, then guess the room.

A week of headlines, ten rounds

We read through everything NPR and NY Post published from Monday to Sunday and pick the stories people talk about at the coffee machine on Monday.

Only this week
Every story is from the seven days before, and none comes up twice.
No crises, no misery
Records, animals, oddities and celebrities instead of war and crime. The quiz should lift the mood.
Every answer checked
Numbers and answers come from the original article, not from memory.
