Get ready for a bittersweet trip down memory lane! This week's quiz isn't about current headlines, it's a heartfelt farewell to the icons we lost this year – the actors, athletes, and public figures who shaped our world. It's our annual in memoriam edition, a chance to honor their legacies, not with prizes, but with remembrance. Are you ready to test your knowledge of their lives and careers?
Welcome to Thursday News Quiz No. 226 – our annual in memoriam special. We're diving deep into the past year to celebrate the lives of those who left an indelible mark on us. Think of it as a trivia-fueled tribute, a way to revisit the joy (and sometimes controversy!) they brought into our lives.
Now, before you jump in, a word of caution: this isn't your typical news quiz. It's designed to jog your memory and spark fond recollections. So, ditch the Google search and trust your gut!
But here's where it gets controversial... How do you truly measure a person's impact? Is it by their awards, their box office numbers, or simply by the way they made us feel? This quiz might spark some debate about who's included and who's not.
Ready to begin? Allons-y!

Once you've taken the quiz, head down to the comments section and let us know how you did! More importantly, share your favorite memories of the individuals featured. Did their work resonate with you personally? Did they inspire you in any way?
And a final note: We've done our best to ensure accuracy, but in the unlikely event that you spot a genuine error (and we mean a demonstrable, 100% certain error, not a misinterpretation of a joke), feel free to point it out in the comments. But before you do, maybe take a moment to relax and watch Katherine Priddy's 'Frightening Machines' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFfy0iwWiWc). It's a beautiful song, and sometimes a little perspective is all we need.
And this is the part most people miss... This quiz isn't just about remembering the famous; it's about reflecting on our own lives and the people who've touched them. It's a reminder that time is precious, and we should cherish the moments we have with those we love.
So, what do you think? Is there anyone we missed who deserves to be remembered? Did any of the questions spark a particularly strong memory for you? Let's start a conversation in the comments below! We're eager to hear your thoughts and reflections.
