Take the year-end CBC news quiz!

Every year around this time, I cobble together a news quiz on some of the top stories in Newfoundland and Labrador for CBC's regional site, where I edit the news.

Folks, this year's quiz is up and running on cbc.ca/nl, and waiting for your visit.

There are 15 questions, and it's multiple choice. Better yet, no one is watching as you go through the quiz, and if you don't like your score ... do it again!

If you stick to the end, you'll find links to all of the stories that inspired the questions.

Have fun!
