French President Emmanuel Macron's choice of eyewear and an Instagram post by a member of the Beckham family occurred this week, alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos. The events prompted a quiz designed to test public awareness of current affairs.

The quiz, published Jan. 23, 2026, at 5:01 AM ET, by Holly J. Morris, covers a range of topics from international politics to pop culture. It aims to gauge whether individuals are "board of peace" – actively engaged and informed – or "bored of peace," indicating a lack of attention to global events.

The quiz utilizes data visualization tools to present information and assess understanding. Topics included the Oscars, agricultural issues, the Nobel Peace Prize, space exploration initiatives like the Artemis program, and discussions at Davos. Social media platforms like Facebook and Flipboard were also referenced, reflecting their role in disseminating news and shaping public opinion.

The increasing complexity of global events and the proliferation of information sources necessitate tools to assess public awareness, according to Morris. The quiz serves as an informal metric of public engagement with current affairs.

The quiz is available online and is intended for a broad audience. No further developments were announced.
