After another madcap week of markets spinning like an untethered astronaut flung out into the void, we thought it best to try out a new Friday post format this week to take your mind off it all.

So, may we present a new regular feature: the Friday FT Alphaville Wot U Kno quiz. Or FAWUK, for short.

Here’s the format: eight questions, with six on finance, one punt at a future price point, and the final one — “guess who tweeted this nonsense”. (No cheating, please.)

We’ll decide the scoring system, and reserve the right to change it at short notice. Bonus points will be awarded for snark. Winners will be announced on Monday. Prizes? Well, that’s for us to know. And you to find out.

Answers can be sent to either Jamie ([email protected]) or Claire ([email protected]) or simply replied to in the comments below.


  1. The Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey this week called on people to not ask for a big pay rise, despite substantial increases in the cost of living in the UK. What did the nine members of the Monetary Policy Committee, which Mr Bailey heads, take home in pay, in total, over the 2020/21 financial year?

  2. Which crypto-trading platform was valued at $32bn in a private round led by SoftBank and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan?

  3. Meta Platforms née Facebook suffered a torrid day Thursday with its stock dropping some 26 per cent. To the closest $10bn, what was the total market cap loss on the day?

  4. Terry Smith’s popular retail fund Fundsmith was a big owner of Meta Platforms, but it wasn’t its only big loser this week. Which of its other core positions lost almost a quarter of its value on Wednesday?

  5. Which head of a military organisation is set to make the switch to central banking later this year? For a bonus point, name another military leader who later became head of a central bank.

  6. The European Central Bank was described as the “last dove standing” earlier this week. When asked on a previous occasion if she was a dove or hawk, what bird did ECB president Christine Lagarde say she was?

  7. What will be Amazon’s closing share price today?

  8. And finally . . . who tweeted this nonsense?
