Only got 7/15, but it's hard to believe that the London bridge attack was 3 years ago today!

I had to check the date elsewhere because I didnt think it was that long ago either...Time passes quick nowadays. 7/15 isnt too bad tbh. Some of the questions are pretty obscure, even I dont get much more than that when I take one of these quizzes at a later date.
