Let’s tackle the controversies one at a time.
The first controversy: last Friday’s chart quiz requested you:
send your answers to [email protected] with the subject ‘Charts’
Which is of course a break from form, given we usually request you use the subject ‘Quiz’.
Did this cause an upset? Yes. Was it deliberate? Uh, next question. Did we accept responses sent under ‘Quiz’, ‘Charts’, ‘Chart quiz’ or any reasonably variation thereof? Yes.
Which brings us on to controversy two — was the quiz too easy? Judge for yourself…
That’s the share price of Rheinmetall — a regional memestock.
That’s the daily trading volume of Tesla — a regional memestock.
And that’s the Turkish lira / Japanese yen cross rate. :/
So, how did we get on? Well, 39 of you got the correct answers by our count, making this (we think?) our easiest charts quiz ever and firmly establishing the author as the blackjack-dealer-era Homer Simpson of FTAV:

…which picked Gabriel Druta! He gets the glory and the T-shirt, and should probably also buy a lottery ticket.
For everyone else — better luck this Friday!
