News-Quiz (FAZ)
Five questions on the day's news from the Frankfurter Allgemeine.
Every day: Five questions on the day's news every weekday, the same for all readers, with your score compared against other readers. New puzzle: Each weekday (Monday to Friday); the site does not state a time.
The News-Quiz from FAZ.NET asks five questions about the day's news each weekday, in German. Each edition is dated and headed by one of its questions, and at the end you see how you did against other readers.
About News-Quiz (FAZ)
The News-Quiz is the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's daily news quiz on FAZ.NET. Each weekday brings a new dated edition with five questions on what was in the news that day: politics, business, sport and stories from Germany and abroad. Every edition is headed by one of its questions, such as how many Galeria department stores are left or what experts mean by unicorns.
You answer the five questions and then see how your score compares with other readers who played the same quiz. There are no weekend editions; the list of past quizzes runs Monday to Friday, and earlier days stay on the page to play.
It suits readers who follow German news and want a quick check at the end of the day, and German learners who want to practise with current affairs.
