Thursday news quiz: Liz Truss’s reign, origin apples and a bunch of boars

Pop the champagne, fire the glitter cannons and let off some sky lanterns: it is the 250th Guardian Thursday news quiz, a special bumper edition. Twenty-two questions await on topical news, general knowledge, pop culture and the re-appearance of every regular round we’ve previously had, and could remember, and which didn’t cause us legal problems.

Topics include students furious about a super-duper new computerised marking system, a more-than-200-year-old tree that produced the first example of a particular apple, and who recently said backing Thursday quiz favourite Liz Truss was his biggest political mistake.

Other questions ask which Kemi Badenoch-backing US rapper is coming to the Spectator's summer party, where a meteor exploded over a north-eastern US state, and what the collective noun for boars is.

United States, north-eastern US state
