In the song “The 12 days of Christmas”, take the number of lords a-leaping minus the geese a-laying. How many do you have left?
a. 5 golden rings, but gave one away
b. 4 calling birds
c. 3 French hens and a partridge in a pear tree
d. 4 lords that didn’t get geese for dinner
Answer:
Now how many of you actually sung the song to figure out the numbers?
There are 10 lords a-leaping and 6 geese a-laying, so 10-6=4
Ok, I made this into a trick question. Ladies and Gentlemen, all answers are correct!
