The Squiz Quiz: Artemis II, Altman and art theft

The final episode of the Squiz Quiz for a while features host Andrew Williams and co-hosts Claire Kimball and Kate Watson in a lively, humorous round of eight trivia questions covering major global stories. The quiz touches on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's rare national address—beginning with 'my fellow Australians'—Taiwan's opposition leader Zhongli Wen meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping, NASA's Artemis II mission using the Orion spacecraft, the Sydney Kings winning the NBL championship, Ronan Farrow's investigative piece on Sam Altman published in The New Yorker, a brazen art theft in Italy involving works by Cezanne, Renoir, and Matisse, a disappointing 'Barbie Dreamfest' event in Florida, and a unique dating event in Japan where all attendees shared the surname Suzuki due to Japan's naming customs. The episode ends in a tie, resolved by a tiebreaker question about the distance Artemis II reached from Earth—406,778 kilometres—making it the farthest crewed mission from Earth in over 50 years. The hosts reflect on the quiz's fun, absurdity, and the surprising depth of current events, with light-hearted banter and jokes throughout.
