    3. How many gifts are delivered by My True Love in the song The Twelve Days of Christmas ?
    4. Can you prove that you have 11 fingers (for this question, thumbs also count as fingers) ?

      • 23 P of C in the H B
      • 32 is the T in D F at which W F
      • 29 D in F in a L Y
      • 13 S on the U S F
    6. A movie actor/director died on this day (25th December). He was famous for having a cane and a bowler hat. Who was he, and in which year did he die ?
