Several sets of differing questions really set many of us thinking. Another wonderful quiz night with great mix of subjects ranging from Sport, History, Music, Geography and of course ‘mixed bag’. As the night progressed the possible winning tables emerged but we all had fun and it was great to get together again socially post-lock down.

5. In the Christmas song, "The 12 Days of Christmas", how many total gifts does her true love give? We could count the number of gifts she gets on each day.
On the first day she gets 1 gift
On the second day she gets 1 + 2 = 3gifts. On the third day she gets 1 + 2 + 3
= 6 gifts.
On the fourth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 = 10 gifts.
On the fifth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 = 15 gifts.
On the sixth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 = 21 gifts.
On the seventh day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28 gifts.
On the eighth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36 gifts.
On the ninth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45 gifts.
On the tenth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55 gifts.
On the eleventh day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 = 66
gifts. On the twelfth day she gets 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11+
12 = 78 gifts. We add 1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78 = 364 gifts.
