Slate's weekly news quiz challenges participants to assess their understanding of recent news events across diverse topics, including politics, culture, and sports. The quiz, hosted by Ray Hamel, engages players with various questions, allowing them to compare their scores with both the average contestant and a fellow Slate writer, Heather Schwedel. A humorous premise suggests a robotic version of Joe Biden, designed to outsmart Donald Trump, fails due to technical malfunctions, adding a playful tone to this interactive news experience.
