The Great(ish) Whirledly Weakened of the Year Quiz for 2023.

In what’s become an annual event, it’s the end of the year.

To see it out, or through, the WWNews editorial team has turned no stone to uncover the major events of 2023, opting instead to make stuff up.

There are ten questions with multiple-choice answers. Some answers are less incorrect than others. Points are awarded for reading the question through to the end.

Fingers on buzzers, no conferring, your time starts now. Okay, now. Come on, what’s the hold up?
