UNICEF Xmas 2021 Quiz

29 Nov 2021 3:59 PM | Tim Reynolds (Administrator)

After a break of several months, UNICEF has once again put together an anagram quiz to exercise our minds in the lead up to Xmas and hopefully raise a significant amount to support the UNICEF cause in Belgium.


Despite the broad success of the vaccination campaign, COVID-19 infection rates in many countries are on the rise and the imposition of new restrictions continues to dominate our lives. The pandemic compounds the day-to-day challenge faced by developing countries as they strive to maintain basic hygiene services and infrastructure and sustain their communities. UNICEF Belgium is at the forefront of this battle and continues to devote its attention to support WASH (WAter, Sanitation and Hygiene) projects in Rwanda. The money raised as a result of this quiz will again provide much-needed funding for this important cause.

The quiz

The Question sheet for the quiz can be downloaded here. For this quiz, the answers will be the names of both real and fictitious ISLANDS. There are 15 real and 5 fictitious islands to decipher/ discover. The number of letters corresponding to each clue for each question is in parentheses and the column of numbers in bold represents the total number of letters in the island’s name.

For the tie-break question this time, you will need to guess the total number of goals that will be scored in the 10 football games that will be played in the English Premiership on Saturday, 18 December and Sunday, 19 December. The 10 games in question are listed below:

Saturday 18 December Sunday 19 December
Manchester United v Brighton and Hove Albion Everton v Leicester City
Aston Villa v Burnley Wolverhampton Wanderers v Chelsea
Southampton v Brentford Newcastle United v Manchester City
Watford v Crystal Palace Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool
West Ham United v Norwich City  
Leeds United v Arsenal  


How to enter

To enter the quiz, please email your answers to unicefquiz@gmail.com to arrive no later than midnight CET (23.00 GMT) on Friday 17 December. The winners will be announced on Monday 20 December.

The winner, and the ‘Island Anagram Quiz Champion’, will be the person who has the highest quiz score and whose tie-break answer (if applicable) is closest to the total number of goals scored. The winner will receive three bottles of Saint Emilion Grand Cru. There will also be a prize of a bottle of champagne for the person who does not achieve the highest quiz score but whose tie-break answer is closest to the number of total goals scored.
