Have been tasked with an end of year quiz for work. But am having a lot of trouble remembering what happened in 2021, and what was 2020 or earlier.
What actually happened in 2021? Esp things they would make good multiple choice questions.
So far I've got the evergiven, the capitol riots, last a380, some billionaires in space.

Have a look here (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=summary+of+2021+events+uk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8).
Quiz is for an international audience so UK specific isn't ideal.
I have already tried putting "wtf happened in 2021?" Into Google...

Some other famous people died
I'm sure other stuff happened as well

Quiz went well. Winner got 23/36 right, which is good, I normally aim for the winner to get 50%.
