Actually, "omega-3" describes a *structure* of a fatty acid -- an omega-3 fatty acid is one that has a double bond three carbon atoms from the aliphatic end of the chain. It is not the name of a fatty acid, as the question seems to imply. I'm not sure if there is a single fatty acid that is "everyone's" favorite -- α-Linolenic acid is one possible answer because it's omega-3 and essential for human health, but there will always be some joker who will tell you that his favorite fatty acid is caproic acid because it's smelly.

Once again, the Bible does not say that there were three wisemen. An unknown number of magi brought three types of gifts: gold, myrrh, and frankincense.

Agree it is not specifically spelled out in the Bible, but who said it was? In popular culture they are always depicted as three kings, three wise men, three Magi, whatever you want to call them. I've never seen a nativity scene or Christmas card which showed any other number.

Technically, the only ghost to visit Scrooge on Christmas Eve was old Jacob Marley, who tells him of the other ghosts and to "Expect the first to-morrow, when the bell tolls One," which, of course, would be Christmas Day. It's a great quiz.
