You might have been watching one of several consequential elections this week, or the UK’s budget statement, but at Thursday Quiz towers we were all obsessing about one thing – why are geese so adorably cute yet obnoxious? 15 questions await you on topical news, general knowledge, pop culture, and maybe geese. We love geese. Let us know how you get on in the comments. Honk!

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. Why not watch Roses by Chvrches instead?
