Who didn’t wear what to the Met Gala? And, write your own quiz questions!

It seems like nothing’s permanent: President Trump doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the Constitution, Alcatraz may reopen and there’s a new pope. Sic transit gloria mundi, indeed!

You can, however, depend on this: The Met Gala will always be on the first Monday in May. If you paid close attention, you’ll get at least one question right!

Meanwhile! If you read the quiz and think, “I can do that better,” now you can try. We’re taking reader submissions for each week’s bonus question. The submission form and instructions are below the quiz. Please submit by 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 13.

To submit a bonus question, please enter your proposed question and the answer in the form below. Your question should relate to news from the past seven days.
