The Quiz: Bears, dead dolphins, Clint Eastwood, and bowling

Posted at 3:04 PM on February 10, 2012 by Bob Collins (14 Comments)

Bears, dolphins, Clint Eastwood, bowling, and hidden cameras. If that doesn't scream "busy news week," nothing does.

Here are 15 questions based on posts on NewsCut this week as well as other stories in the news on Minnesota Public Radio. Give it your best shot. We're all counting on you.

If "Rory Dinklestiff" is wrong, I don't want to be right.

A Syrian city is misspelled: Homs, (with an 'm', not an 'r n').

9. That's sad.

And SIX dead dolphins? My goodness!

Grrrph: only 9 of 15. I'm out of practice. Thanks for putting out another quiz, Bob. I believe I pay more attention when there's a potential question at the end of the week.

12 of 15 - but there were a couple trick questions in there. Or rather a couple trick HINTS.

I like the quiz. Thanks for doing it -- it must make extra work for you, which kinda sucks on a Friday.

Yay, a quiz! 10 of 15

I thought "Handl" was a trick question for "Handel" and answered "None of the above". I should have known that News Cut doesn't play tricks.

My personal best, at 12.

Missed the dolphins name, Clint Eastwood commercial and, hmmm, I already forgot.

Thanks!

One of my best. Maybe I'm getting better at guessing.
