One billion people across the world live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on the equivalent of about $1 a day. The United Nations aims to lift every single one of them out of this category within 15 years.

It’s an ambitious target, and this weekend 150 world leaders will meet to work out how they’re going to do it. But is it even possible? To help you judge, a short quiz has been set by the renowned statistician, Prof Hans Rosling. You can check out the seven-question quiz here.
