Welcome to the Los Angeles Times News Quiz, where we’re tearing through August like a bear in a camp site. This week’s 10 handcrafted, California-leaning, multiple-choice questions riff off stories that have appeared in The Times (in print or online) over the previous seven days.

This week, we’re taking a look at stories from my talented colleagues about the final Olympic gold-medal haul, the recent L.A. campaign stop by freshly minted Harris running mate Tim Walz, Costco’s new store-entry protocol and some of the new animatronics coming to Disneyland Resort’s Main Street Opera House.

We visited more than 200 miles of coastline, picking through hundreds of beaches to name the 50 best from San Diego to Santa Barbara. We prioritized ease of use and special amenities — like volleyball courts, camping, surf conditions and views.

Are you ready to have some fun? I am. Let’s get started.
