    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

    Just in case you're missing your daily day of numerical headscratchers, I thought I'd throw up the questions that didn't make it. Generally because they're crap :D
    Answers below in spoilers

    1 What percentage of Irish adults want Brussel sprouts on their plate for Christmas dinner?
    2 What percentage of adults own a Christmas jumper?
    3 The National Lottery sells Christmas Countdown scratchcards at €10 each. How many does it produce each year?
    4 How many homes does Santa have to visit every second in order to deliver all the world's presents on Christmas Eve?
    5 Each year, how many unique visitors from around the world look at the NORAD Tracks Santa website?
    6 The Gaiety Theatre, Dublin, is known for its annual Christmas pantomime and has hosted a pantomime every year since... when?

    Thanks Nitty, good game.

    Apologies for all the anger that Bad Ted provided.

    Hope all have a good Christmas and eat lots of mince pies, that early question was ma-hass-ively understated.
