The Guardian · 3 hours ago

The Guardian has published a bumper summer general knowledge quiz spanning 30 questions across history, geography, sport, culture and etymology, ranging from straightforward trivia to "what links" puzzles that connect seemingly unrelated items. It is a light entertainment piece intended to test readers' breadth of knowledge over the summer period, following the paper's established quiz format.

The questions cover topics such as the world's most populous city (Jakarta), Oscar-winning actresses named Julie, Richard Nixon's record Time magazine covers, and Blackpool Tower's history, alongside trickier linking rounds involving David Hockney's recurring themes, Alfred Hitchcock's film cameos, prime numbers, and the birthplaces of Donald Trump's wives. Answers are provided immediately after the questions, including facts like Minecraft being developed by Sweden's Mojang Studios and Che Guevara being the subject of Alberto Korda's famous photograph.
