Each week, the world produces more events than any one person can fully absorb — politics shifts, markets move, and artists leave their marks on city walls, all within the same seven days. The BBC's weekly news quiz, compiled by Ben Fell, offers a quiet reckoning: a chance to measure not just what happened, but how much of it actually reached us. In an age of relentless information, the act of pausing to ask 'what did I notice?' carries its own quiet wisdom.
