Bliss Seeker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've got my Xmas holiday hat on early this year and plan do as little work as possible for the next 2 weeks without getting the sack. I've never run a quiz before, thought i'd make one up! Rules are simple, I'll ask a question and you have one hour to guess the answer. Now the game is purposely obscure. I plan to run this game throughout the December xmas period and the winner will be sent my least favourite Xmas present. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION 1: I am currently drinking coffee out of a mug. The coffee has gone cold as I made sure it accompanied me throughout my Monday morning bore-fest that is our weekly team meeting (women be talking, right!?). Q: There are 4 things printed on my mug: 1 animal, 2 objects and someone's name. Can you guess all 4? 10 points for each correct answer. If the answer hasn't been guessed by then, I will reveal a clue after 30 minutes. Points will also be awarded for closest guesses. You may enter as many times as you like (that's what she said!). Answers in the thread. Do not PM me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early bird clue: The mug was a leaving gift from an middle aged Jamaican woman from my last work place!
