USA Today's weekly news quiz
USA Today has a weekly news quiz. It uses their own news content to generate the questions, so it doesn't quite match up with The New York Times. It also seems to cover a wider range of topics (sports, for example). But it's another option if you're interested! http://www.usatoday.com/news/news-quiz.htm

New York Times interactive news quiz
