'twas the quiz before christmas ...
Welcome to the special Christmas Eve edition of the #harlequiz - now with added prize winning opportunity! A slightly shorter quiz today, 20 questions, but the usual nonsense. However, there are NO morse code questions. There is a theme running through the answers - you don't have to guess the theme, but it might help you if you do. Then again it might not. If you do look for the theme, then this week it is a word. Your answers might be words or phrases that go with this word, or they might in some instances contain the word somewhere. Beware spellalikes, soundalikes, tenuous connections, hidden words, and instances where you have to put consecutive answers together.
The *special prize draw* question is right at the end, where you have to provide the punchline for a Christmas cracker joke - there are no right or wrong answers, you just need to come up with the best/worst answer you can. The one that makes us laugh the most will win a Harlequin t-shirt! To be in with a chance of winning this, please submit your answer by 5.00pm on 30th December 2020. Ready? Good luck - and Merry Christmas! x
