I got 8/10. Didn't know who gave away cars, thought it had to be either Oprah or Jimmy Fallon and chose poorly; in hindsight Oprah probably had more money and viewers. Chose the cabbage patch doll as I recall there was a craze for those.
Merry Christmas everyone! And best wishes to those celebrating other holidays too!
Got 9/10 today, slipped up and went for Cabbage Patch Kids because I wasn't focusing on the year 😅 Had to rely on some educated guesses for the gold watch and the empty wallet, so not a bad haul in the end
Merry Merry to All! And ditto on the thanks to the JP team!
That was a quiz to make us merry...I remember waiting in line at 'Toys are Us' for Tickle Me Elmo....Cabbage Patch Dolls were earlier, as was the Star Wars lightsaber....
Merry Christmas to all trivia fans! I got 10/10 with 9781 points today. I made the perfect score with a 50/50 guess on toy craze and a total guess on bad luck gift. Never heard of that superstition. The other 8 were pretty easy!
Correction needed. The question should be "in the song" what gifts did the "three" wise men" bring. The song, "We Three Kings of Orient Are" the number three is specified, but the Bible never says how many wise men visited Jesus. the confusion arose because three gifts were mentioned. But two wise men could have brough those three things, or two thousand wise men could have brought those three things. Some speculate that the wise men were a large group of nomadic mystics.
Missed only the magi question. I knew the bible said they saw the star "in the East', which means to follow the star they would travel from the West to the East, so they must have come from the West. Apparently it's more complicated than that.
I'm not sure. The other day my parents read it as 'Wise men from the East saw the star in the east', and I was confused, but I just checked Matthew 2, and it only calls them Wise men from the East.
That will depend on your bible version. King James version has the magi saying "we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him'. Most (but not all) versions will have something resembling that in them.
Gift-giving theme?
Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays!
Sometimes age has some benefits, eh?

Merry Christmas from Hong Kong!
I was confused when I heard it.
Could you explain how they saw the star in the east when they came from the east?
