I never said it would be a proper quiz by the way!
* How many reindeer are employed by Santa?
Two.
Over here there are (or were) at least three
* What are their names (Spelling need not be correct)?
Rudolf and Olive.
Yksi, Kaksi, Kolme (1, 2, 3 in Finnish)
* What sex is "the red nosed reindeer"?
Female.
A female called Rudolf?
* Why do you say that?
Only female reindeer keep their antlers throughout winter.
Actually, you can buy them down at the market over here. A media-savvy
reindeer, as Santa's surely must be, would know that.
Ok, maybe a bit of clarification is required for the answers to the
first two questions above:
Everyone knows abouit Rudolf, so that's one reindeer.
The song of the same name has the words "Olive, the other reindeer used
to laugh and call him names" - so that's two. No others are mentioned! ;-)
So, two reindeer are in Santa's employ, Rudolf and Olive.
All wildly off topic, of course ;o) All I said was that QLT hadnt
arrived here in Norway, possibly due to one of the postman's reindeer
having been eaten, and not even by me. I had nut roast, tho Ive no
idea whose nuts. Bang! There probably went Olive. At least he'll have
a sporting chance of keeping his antlers next year!
