Welcome to this week’s Los Angeles Times News Quiz. I’m Adam Tschorn, senior features writer, former game show question-and-answer man, and the guy who mined the last seven days of stories written by my colleagues to create the 10 handcrafted, California-focused, multiple-choice questions you’ll find below.

This week’s questions will test your recall on stories about a standout star of the 2024 Paris Paralympics (who happens to hail from L.A.), some just-announced music festival headliners, Hunter Biden’s surprise guilty plea, a shrinking late-night talk show and the late, great actor James Earl Jones (and where — besides CNN‘s commercials — you’ve heard his booming voice).

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.
