(NECN) - On this segment of the "Weekly News IQ Quiz", Jim Braude is joined by Yankee Magazine editor Annie Copps, Documentary filmmaker and Olympian Mary Mazzio, and Ruth Bramson CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern New Massachusetts.


The first category is Extra, Extra. Every question has a little something extra, a chance to earn a bonus point.  

In "Lets go to the tape" every question is based on a tape gleaned from the news or internet. The "crazy mixed up questions" category features stories that somehow seemed important this week, but by next week you won't care.
