News Quiz of the Week
Dear Readers
We are experimenting with a new feature - crosswords. This week is a test-run, so we kept it simple.
HINT: You can find the answers to all the questions in the articles which appear this week.
You cannot enter your answers into the crossword online - at least not yet. Instead, fill in the answers in the form at the bottom of this page and press 'Submit'. It might help to print the crossword and fill in your answers on the printed sheet, before filling your answers at the bottom of this page.
Be sure to push 'Next' to go to the following answer page and 'Submit' when finished. Your entry will be automatically recorded.
Note that we have added a bonus question at the end - it is a bit more of a challenge.
We will publish the correct answers and the winners next week. Also, please let us know your thoughts on this idea.
