The daily News is often riddled with stories almost too outrageous to believe. Now you can test your knowledge of genuine current news events by playing the Real or Bogus? Game.

To play along: get out a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Number your paper 1-15. Next, scroll down and read the following headlines – and remember some of these are REAL and some are completely BOGUS. Mark on your paper your choice of REAL or BOGUS for each individual headline. Answers can be found below the “Headlines” section. Each correct answer is worth 10 points, for a possible total score of 150.
