Hi and seasonal greetings,
As you would expect from The Thinking Consultancy, we have devised a quiz to have you thinking over the Christmas and New Year break. Surprisingly, the quiz is entitled The 12 days of Christmas.
Below are 75 well-known statements or expressions that contain a number. Given the number, can you work out the full expression?
For example in the quiz you might read:
‘G B L at 10 D S’.
The answer would be:
Gordon Brown Lives at 10 Downing Street.
Enjoy the quiz and have a very Happy Christmas
