Hi everyone!
Welcome to the very first (to my knowledge) Christmas quiz
There will be 12 days of 3 questions each day based on the Pointless game show format. (Scoring below)
Quiz will start on the 13th, ending on the 24th with a special Christmas Day bonus.
Everyone can take part. There will be a thread for each day, answers are by PMs only. This will be the main thread, so questions here. Maybe a mod/admin can make this a sticky.
There is a cryptic clue each day to spell a sentence at the end of the 12 days with minus20 points to those that spot it.
SCORING
1 point for each individual, unique answer, with the point multiplied by the number of people choosing the same answer. +50 points for an incorrect answer (my decision is final)or no answer
You don't have to answer each day, you can send all answers all at once. They will be numbered upto 36 anyway. There is no penalty for answering later than the day itself, however all answers must be submitted by the closing date (at the end of this post)
Good luck
Will add/edit if I've missed anything
Closing date 31st December, winner announced on 10th January (my birthday)

To clarify, do we get +20 points for spotting the cryptic sentence or minus 20 points to our score?? You've written you get minus 20 points for those who spot it, was that an error, or was it meant to be written? Other than that, i look forward to playing!

The questions are going to be easy to answer, but harder to find a unique answer! That's how it works! Suitable for all ages. Questions will be from a wide range of topics not just buses

3 hours to go. All questions are set. 3 per day, some questions have a theme for each day! Hope you will enjoy it! I will do my best to post questions at midnight or at 11pm where possible. I'm still working during this, so bear with me
Each day there will be a cryptic clue to form an answer at the end of the 12 days.
