Congratulations on making it to the final Los Angeles Times News Quiz of 2024. Since we’re in the end-of-year hammock between the holidays, I’ll make this short and sweet: My job is to cobble together on my workbench of words 10 handcrafted, California-focused, multiple-choice questions based on stories that appeared in The Times (in print or online) over the previous seven days. Your job is to answer them.
Some of the writers and editors who worked on this year’s Gift Guide reveal the items they will gift this year along with some of their favorite L.A. shops mentioned in our guide.
This week, we’re taking a look at stories about the late baseball Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, the new “Lion King” movie, the origins of a very famous, century-old salad, California’s changing population numbers, the latest NBA record to be set by LeBron James, the newest winners of “The Masked Singer” and a very, very tall flagpole in California’s Imperial County.
With creative canna-cocktails now and new kitchen offerings to come, the Artist Tree’s second consumption lounge is L.A.’s first legal weed lounge outside of West Hollywood.
For the record:
9:24 a.m. Dec. 27, 2024In an earlier version of this quiz, the question about baseball Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson misspelled his last name as Anderson.
If you’ve kept up on the news of the week, answering these questions correctly should be a breeze — or, at the very least, easier than navigating the LAX horseshoe to pick up (or drop off) that one friend you owe a favor.
Are you ready to have some fun? I am. Let’s get started.
