Calling all quizzers. The UNICEF Christmas Quiz has been launched. Under COVID, charities have suffered as they struggle to provide their normal levels of support to those in need, while coping with reduced income. With Christmas approaching, we hope that you will be willing to lend your support to UNICEF in Belgium by participating in their Christmas Anagram quiz or by making a donation to this worthwhile cause.
In the Christmas Anagram quiz you are asked to find Christmas words or names. The number of letters corresponding to each clue is in parentheses and the number in bold represents the total number of letters of the Christmas word or name. The Quiz sheet can be downloaded here.
Future sporting events are a good reference for tie-break questions and this quiz is no exception. This time you are asked to guess the total number of runs that Pakistan will score in the T20 International cricket match vs. New Zealand to be played in Hamilton, New Zealand starting at 19.00 local time on Sunday 20 December, 2020.
For those who may not be familiar with cricket, you should know that the number of runs scored by Pakistan in their last ten T20 matches were: 106, 107, 130, 137, 137, 142, 150, 157, 190, and 195 (an average of 145).
