Several of the questions and answers in this week's Quizzo Round are reflected in this Photoshopped image.
Welcome to the third installment of PhillyVoice’s “This Week In Philly” Quizzo round feature.
Each Friday, we’ll offer trivia questions from stories we’ve covered over the course of the past week. Sure, the only prize is the personal pride of not scrolling down to the bottom of the story to see the answers before thinking of them yourselves. But that counts for something, doesn’t it?
So with no further ado, here are 10 questions about the people, places, events and more that made the third week of April 2016 special.
