July 22, 2011 — -- intro: Unless you've been living under a rock -- thanks, Geico -- you know that a lot went on this week.

A royal wedding gown went on display, there was a journalistic scandal, a deadly U.S. heat wave, a looming debt default deadline, not-so-true calorie counts posted on menus and, of course, "Where in the World Is Casey Anthony?"

So test your news-savviness and learn whether you've kept up with the events of the day. Answer these 11 questions, and let us know how you did.

And don't worry. We won't share your scores with the world a la the Nation's Report Card, but if you think you've slacked on your news knowledge, we'll be back next week with another quiz.

Now ready? Set? Go.
