1 articles · Updated · The New York Times · May 22
The New York Times released an 11-question News Quiz on May 22, 2026, testing readers on major U.S. and international developments from the past week.
The quiz spans politics, courts, public health and culture, including a Justice Department fund for Trump allies, a Kentucky Republican primary upset and a California jury’s ruling in Elon Musk’s case against OpenAI.
Other questions focus on a WHO-declared Ebola emergency in Africa, a three-day shutdown of the busiest U.S. passenger rail service and the end of CBS’s “Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
The set also reaches further afield, asking about charges tied to U.S.-Cuban history, the death of former congressman Barney Frank, gifts brought to Greenland by Trump envoy Jeff Landry, an A.I. book controversy and a stranded whale in Germany.
When public compassion clashes with science, was the dramatic rescue of a celebrity whale a triumph or a futile gesture?
With a new US consulate and envoy, is Greenland's firm 'not for sale' stance facing its biggest test yet?
Why is the US charging a 94-year-old Raúl Castro for a crime committed three decades ago?
