Welcome to the Los Angeles Times News Quiz. I’m Adam Tschorn, senior features writer, former game show question-and-answer man and your weekly quizmaster.

Each Friday, I serve up 10 handcrafted, California-leaning, multiple-choice questions based on stories that appeared in The Times (in print or online) over the previous seven days.

“How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time” by Vanessa Lavorato is a fun, tasty, science-backed guide to cooking with cannabis without accidentally overdoing it.

On tap for this week are stories about the soaring price of a certain precious metal, the reason Dodgers’ standout Shohei Ohtani stayed home while his teammates traveled to take on the Texas Rangers, the life of the late Pope Francis, the Ryan Coogler movie that topped the Easter weekend box office, the U.S. senator who went to El Salvador to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia and more.

If you’ve kept up on the news of the week, you should have no problem answering these questions correctly.
