Thanksquizzing.
Happy Friday quizzers, and welcome to the final quiz of a very American November.
Across the pond, it’s been Thanksgiving this week, bringing an end to a month that started with the small matter of a presidential election.
But now November is in its dying embers and the hulking beast of December is looming into view.
So, before we dive head first into the festive feeling, let’s wave goodbye to this damp and dreary month.
This week, it’s rounds on US state outlines (exciting!) and famous last words (sombre!) that await you once you’ve battled through the first three rounds, which need no introduction by now.
Quiz away!
