News Quiz for the Week of October 19th-23rd, 2009 (Short Answer Version)

Here is the multiple choice version of this week’s news quiz.  This week sees a heavy focus on International issues as thequiz-01 domestic scene was quite dry (unless you liked following hoaxes about kids abandoning their homes in makeshift hot air balloons). However, one question is not multiple choice due to the number of answers required for it.

Good luck on this week’s quiz.  Answers will be posted on Friday.
