It's that time of the week again to put your general knowledge to the ultimate test. Our Wednesday quiz is back with a fresh set of ten challenging questions designed to stretch your brain and uncover what you really know about music, history, geography, and popular culture.
This Week's Brain Teasers

Geography buffs are challenged to name the four US states that share a border with the vast state of Texas. Closer to home, can you recall the year the beloved TV programme 'Match of the Day' was first broadcast to the nation?
Other questions will test your knowledge of elite military units, art gallery openings, and even the classic colour of Venetian gondolas. And for all the literature fans, a crucial detail from the world of Sherlock Holmes: who was the detective's famous landlady according to the books by Conan Doyle?
