Each week, the world generates more events than any one mind can hold — and the BBC's weekly news quiz, assembled by Ben Fell, offers a quiet moment of reckoning with that reality. Among this week's questions is one about actor Rosamund Pike, who found herself addressing an audience member more captivated by a glowing phone than by a live performance before them. The quiz is less a test of intelligence than a mirror: it asks, gently, whether we were truly present for the week that just passed.
