1:02Hello, fabulous SquizzKids, quizzes. And welcome to the Kids Versus Adults Weekly News, quiz. This is your chance to prove who's being paying the most attention to the week that just was. I'm Bryce Court. So, how does this work? First, we'll have five questions for kids about what's been happening in the world for the past seven days, then five questions for adults. Whoever answers the most correct questions can take the winners podium. Easy as. Plus, of course, because it's a Friday, we've got all today's birthday shout outs and all the shout outs for the weekend coming, including, of course, the birthday rig eight-tune, because it wouldn't be a Friday without it. Okay, you ready all? Let's do this. Alright, kids, here are your five questions. Question number one, we heard a lot in the news this week and on the podcast about a group of soccer players who were seeking asylum in Australia, having played here in the women's

2:05Asian Cup. What country were they from? Yes, that's right, they were from Iran. Question number two, another big sporting season kicks off this weekend in Australia. If I told you the team's competing included the swifts, the giants, the firebirds, the vixens, and the fever, which sport would I be talking about? Yeah, of course, I'm talking about netball. Question number three. Kids in years three, five, seven, and nine, sat napland tests this week. Now this is a bit of a curly question just to get your math sprains working. Three of the numbers I just mentioned are prime numbers, meaning they can only be divided by one and the number itself. One of the numbers that I mentioned is a composite number, meaning that it can be divided by more than one factor.

3:05Which one of those four numbers is the composite number? Is it three, five, seven, or nine? Who said nine? Well done, you got that one right. Question number four, the Matilda's play a do or die quarter final match tonight in Perth in the women's Asian Cup. Which team do they need to beat tonight to go into the semi-finals? Is it a Canada, b Brazil or c North Korea? And I want you to think about this because only one of the countries I've just mentioned is actually in Asia. Yes, of course, it's North Korea. Question number five. The Oscars are coming up next week. Two movies that will be competing for the best animated movie Oscar include Zootopia 2 and which Netflix movie featuring the characters Guima, Rumi and Jinu?

4:12Well, of course, I was always going to put a K-pop demon hunters question in there wasn't I? Of course, it's K-pop demon hunters. Alrighty, how did you go, kids? Be honest. Did you just cook the adults? I thought so. Just before we get into the adult questions, this weekend's quiz kid's side short asks a question that might explain why one video suddenly turns into ten. It's all about algorithms, what they are, where the word comes from, and I'll give you a hint it goes back more than a thousand years to a mathematician in Baghdad, and how these step-by-step instructions quietly run everything from GPS directions and music playlists to the videos that pop up on your screen. You'll find the Squids kid's side short waiting for you in your podcast feed first thing Saturday morning. Okay adults, stretch, hydrate, get ready to rumble, you've got this.

5:15Here are your questions. Question number one. All eyes were on the petrol bars of this week as a traffic jam of oil tankers built up in a strategically important stretch of water between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. What is the name of that stretch of water, and it's been in the news a lot this week? Yes, that's right, it's called the Strait of Hormuz. Question number two. Rugby League player, Zach Lomax, made headlines this week when he walked away from Paramata to join the Western Force. What code has he hopped to? Yeah, that's right, he's hopped to Rugby Union. Question number three. Which Australian city was this week crowned best city in the world by Time Out magazine for its liveliness, its diversity and its vibrant cultural scene? Yep, take a bow, Melbourne.

6:19Question number four. There was drama at the Paralympics this week when the Australian team's mascot was kidnapped. Named Bruce, made of brass, and standing five foot tall on one leg only, what sort of iconic Australian bird is Bruce? Yeah, that's right, he's an EMU. Gosh, I hope they find him. Question number five. Which Hollywood actor got himself into trouble this week by making this? Paraging remarks about opera and ballet. And disparaging means not very nice remarks. Yeah, well done, if you said Timothy Shalamey. Alright adults, how did you go? Count up your score. Who's claiming the bragging rights this week? If you've missed any of these cool news stories throughout the week and you want to refresh
