Los Angeles Times News Quiz this week: President Carter blazes a trail, a Laker turns 40
LA TimesWelcome to the first Los Angeles Times News Quiz of 2025. I’m Adam Tschorn, senior features writer, former game show question-and-answer man and your weekly quizmaster. Since it’s a new year and you may be new to the quiz, here’s a little recap on how it works: Each Friday, I’ll serve up 10 handcrafted, California-leaning, multiple-choice questions based on stories that appeared in The Times over the previous seven days. This week, for example, I’ll be testing your recall about one of the works that just entered the public domain, the Los Angeles Laker who just turned the big four-oh, Sean Hannity’s recent marriage proposal, the 136th Rose Parade and the accomplishments of the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, who died last Sunday at the age of 100.
