The Perfect Christmas Quiz

question marks by zizi rho

 I was going to skip posting today, but then I found this perfect quiz. And I had to share:


On my own I got 30/60. I recommend that you take this quiz with your family and/or friends. It's hard. Some of these icons are obscure. But on the bright side, the quiz is very forgiving. If you have a vague idea of what one of them is, type it in. It's probably enough to get you a right answer.

Edited 12/28: In case you want to know the answers to the ones you didn't know, check out the comments from the Mental Floss article where I found the quiz in the first place.

      You must try it again. You click on whichever one you are going to answer, and then you hit the arrow. It's very forgiving.

    I got 31, but I couldn't figure out how to see the answers!

    I knew if I kept coming here, eventually there'd be homework.

      It doesn't give the answers, unfortunately. From the Slate article that provided the link, the commenters managed to figure out all the answers.

      Whoops, not a Slate article. It was in Mental Floss.

      Thanks. It is a little awkward on a tablet or phone, but it does work.

    I only got 21. I think my whole problem with all of these quizzes is that I don't watch much TV or many movies.

      A couple of them were from folklore. Stuff I'd never heard of.

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
