Each week, the world offers more than any one mind can hold — and the BBC's Thursday quiz quietly asks which fragments lodged and which dissolved. This particular week gathered the death of a visionary artist, the fracture of a diplomatic trade relationship, and the return of exiled royals to familiar shores, weaving together the registers of culture, commerce, and dynasty into a single, improbable moment in time. It is, at its core, an invitation to honest reckoning: not merely what happened, but what we chose to notice.
