An abbreviated Chicago Public Square today. We’ll meet again in your inbox Monday.
■ As ever between editions, you’ll find updating news and commentary on the Square Bluesky account. Lots new there already today.
We have winners. As of Thursday evening, four people had delivered perfect scores on the Square 2,000th edition quiz: Robert S. Gold, Ed Witt, Kansa Sachen and Steve Adler—all of whom have won free Square caps. (Yeah, the deal was three winners. But we’re feeling generous.)
■ Now, everyone who takes the quiz will be rewarded with the correct answers—even for questions they flubbed.
■ Still covet a cap? Pitch in at least $52/year to support this publication—a buck a week—and get one free.
Not quizzed out yet? See if you can match your Square columnist’s perfect—perfect!—score on this week’s challenge from The Conversation’s quizmaster, past Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner Fritz Holznagel.
Take a bow. In all the excitement leading up to that big milestone—or is it millstone?—we should’ve tipped a hat to Chris Badowski Koenig, the only other person to have taken a byline on this newsletter .
