Question One Hundred Four: We Three Kings of Orient Are...how do we know there were three Magi, and that they were kings?
a) from the Gospel According to Matthew
b) from the Gospel According to Luke
c) from the song, which was based on a bad translation in the King James Bible
d) from traditions developed in the third through eighth centuries AD. They were more likely Zoroastrian astrologers.
Question One Hundred Five: What's been wrong with my 12 Days of Christmas questions recently?
a) Gee, Karen, you've been scoring the answers wrong
b) Hey, Karen, the 12 days of Christmas are supposed to end with Christmas
c) Pay attention, Karen: you've been running a day ahead in the numbering
d) Relax, Karen, nothing's wrong
Oops! Karen

I can take a stab at #104... D? My understanding was that they were not kings but astrologers.
Not sure about #105 but I thought Epiphany, by which the 12 Days are based on, is officially tomorrow, Jan 6. We used to open some of our gifts on Epiphany as a child.
Howd I do?
