  • Nostalgic millennials are yearning for 2016 — from the Chicago Cub’s World Series championship to skinny jeans.
  • But 2016 was also defined by political instability and corporate scandals.
  • Business Insider put together a quiz about the year’s top stories to see how much you remember. Can you ace it?

How well do you remember 2016?

The now decade-old year is having a moment on Instagram and TikTok. Nostalgic millennials are pining for skintight jeans, blasting Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” and lining up for the latest Jennifer Lawrence movie.

With the benefit of hindsight, 2016 feels like a calmer time. It was before a global pandemic, surging inflation, multiple wars, and the rise of AI and Big Tech.

But it didn’t feel so simple back then.

Underneath the feel-good stories — like the Chicago Cub’s ending their 108-year World Series drought or Hamilton’s Tony Award win for Best Musical — the year was also defined by political upheaval, corporate scandals, and culture-shifting moments that still reverberate today.

So we put together a quiz to see how much you remember — including the good, the bad, and the political — from 2016.

(function () {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘bi-quiz-iframe’);
if (!iframe) return;

/* ——————————
1) Auto-resize iframe height
—————————— */
function handleResize(event) {
if (!event.data || typeof event.data !== ‘object’) return;
if (event.data.type === ‘bi:quiz:resize’ && event.data.height) {
var newHeight = Number(event.data.height);
if (!isNaN(newHeight) && newHeight > 0) {
iframe.style.height = (newHeight + 10) + ‘px’; // small buffer
}
}
}

window.addEventListener(‘message’, handleResize, false);

// Reasonable initial height before first resize ping
iframe.style.height=”700px”;

/* ———————————–
2) Module-in-view (VISITS tracking)
———————————– */
var hasSentModuleView = false;

if (‘IntersectionObserver’ in window) {
var observer = new IntersectionObserver(function (entries) {
entries.forEach(function (entry) {
if (!hasSentModuleView && entry.isIntersecting && entry.intersectionRatio >= 0.5) {
hasSentModuleView = true;
iframe.contentWindow &&
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ type: ‘bi:module_in_view’ }, ‘*’);
observer.disconnect();
}
});
}, { threshold: [0.5] });

observer.observe(iframe);
} else {
// Fallback: fire once on load if IntersectionObserver unsupported
iframe.addEventListener(‘load’, function () {
if (hasSentModuleView) return;
hasSentModuleView = true;
iframe.contentWindow &&
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ type: ‘bi:module_in_view’ }, ‘*’);
});
}

/* ———————————–
3) Optional: forward quiz events
(debug or BI analytics bridge)
———————————– */
window.addEventListener(‘message’, function (event) {
if (!event.data || typeof event.data !== ‘object’) return;
if (event.data.type === ‘bi:quiz:event’) {
// Optional hook for BI analytics, QA, or debugging
// Example:
// window.sendBIEvent?.(event.data.event, event.data.payload);
// console.info(‘[BI Quiz Event]’, event.data.event, event.data.payload);
}
}, false);
})();
