Hi All,
Can you believe it, we are more than halfway done this year’s quiz! A mere twelve more days and we will be wrapped!
At the end of the day, anyone can still win!
--------
I have yet to get a completely correct answer for question #12. To help things along I want to clarify one point. The numbers within one square do not connect to the numbers in any other square, and so the way the squares are laid out matters not at all.
Also there is no requirement for all numbers within a square to connect to each other through a relationship.
As a general hint, most people are hitting the mark on y, but x is proving troublesome.
This question will remain open until further notice ……..
--------------------------- Question #13 Winner ---------------------
Answering within 30 minutes of the question going out was Hannah! It seems Hannah was at work and had a bit of time to kill ;).
The sum of the three symbols in the vertical column was 16, and the symbols were valued at 5, 4, and 7 respectively for the square, the star, and the triangle. If you want a copy of a possible solution, let me know and I will forward it along.
Below is a brief bio for Hannah.
I moonlight at the clock shop enjoying Vern's quiz as the whole store ticks away. My attached picture is me wishing for warmer weather!

I finally stepped through all the Question #9 answers, and we have a new winner yet again, in Winnie. Missing only a single entry and providing full names for all entries, Winnie cleaned house, although special mention goes to Varina who was a very, very close second.
Couple of funnies worth noting --- the quiz was based on pairs, so “sugar cubes”, “bow” , “tusk” weren’t winning entries ;) Also, snakes have heads, chutes do not ;).
Here is a bio for Winnie.
Winnie is a Canadian transplant in California, dutifully spreading the exotic Canadian language of aboots, passta and soarys to our Southern neighbours J Winnie was an Edmonton girl who hated the cold and mutinied for warm(er) San Francisco. Chris H added Winnie when he couldn’t steal her answers as his own anymore. Winnie joined the advent calendar mid-way last year and tied for 3rd place; she hopes to leverage her quirky mix of engineering brawn and creative wit to better her standing this year with a strong showing!
And now for today’s question……
------------------------------
Have you ever seen an advertisement that, for whatever reason, really hits home? Something that makes you appreciate the art of advertising? Well, that is the theme of tonight’s question.
Pictured in the attached file are a series of images. Your goal is to guess what is being sold and/or what message is being conveyed. Although no additional prizes are to be awarded, take a stab at the companies behind the ads.
Rules are as standard, guess the product /theme and you’ll get a point for each correct image. In the event that a tiebreaker is needed, first one in wins.
Cheers!
