The Festive Quiz

The Festive Quiz

Dr Jim Phelpstead · 11/12/2019 ·

Its back (like Voldemort) by popular demand (unlike Voldemort).

A pop-culture Christmas quiz with occupational health and safety nuggets shoe-horned in at all the available gaps!

Each correct answer scores 2 points.

If you have to use the clues that are posted up in the blog that follows this one then you only get half marks.

There are additional bonus points available in some of the questions. Each correct Brucie bonus answer scores an additional 2 points.

The answers follow in a third blog after this one.

No cheating now!

Question One (The partridge in a pear tree)

What am I dreaming of?

Brucie bonus question:

What was notable about the snow?

Two (French hens)

What did John McClane write on the dead “terrorists” sweat shirt?

Brucie bonus question (for physical nerds):
