For a while it looked like there would be no Thursday quiz from the Guardian this week. But then fortunately somebody emailed 15 secret vaguely topical and general knowledge questions to the wrong personal Gmail address, and everything was fine and dandy. There are no prizes, but you can earn yourself bonus points by spotting oblique references to Doctor Who hidden in the wrong answer options. Let us know how you get on in the comments.
