THE WEEKLY BS CHAMPIONSHIP · 2026-W38 · 14–20 SEPTEMBER 2026

The Weekly BS Championship

The week's hardest Daily BS Test questions. One attempt, one public table, Friday to Sunday.

Ten questions from the week's Daily BS Tests, picked by type as the likeliest to catch you out (the reader figures weren't in when it opened). One attempt. Answers are revealed at the end. Say how sure you are each time: ties go to whoever's confidence best matched their answers, then to whoever filed first.

How the questions were chosen

Candidates are the questions of the seven Daily BS Tests before the championship opens, from the previous Friday to Thursday. Normally the ones the fewest readers got right are frozen on Friday morning. When no such selection has been published by 12:00 UTC on Friday, as for this week so far, the 10 are picked by a house estimate of how hard each type of question usually is, spread across stories and days.

Scores count correct answers. Ties are broken by confidence calibration (a Brier score, as in the Daily BS Test), then by who filed first. The answers are in this page for anyone who goes looking, so the table runs on the honour system. It is for fun.
