The Santa plaus…ible: Christmas traditions
How this one works
Premise
- Brad asks Curtis, Ryan and Ethan to decide together whether country-specific Christmas traditions are real or invented. Correct answers earn Brad Bucks; wrong answers earn ridicule. Six prompts are visible in the source. Curtis introduces the quiz, whose owner-confirmed title wording is The Santa plaus…ible. Brad reads an online quiz attributed in the conversation to The Journal and discovers the answers as they play.
Rewards
- Brad Bucks are jokingly redeemable on February 30th for extravagant prizes. The final announcement awards 50 Brad Bucks, but the source supplies no complete cumulative tally or individual scores.
RESULT STATUS
The competitive result is unresolved.
Correct/incorrect team answers and comic rewards are explicit. No overall winner, individual winner or final cumulative tally is established.

Follow the round structure (6)
Norway: hiding brooms — false guess marked wrong
The group hears that Norwegian households hide brooms because of witches. Ethan jokingly splits his extra votes between yes and no, leaving the team’s answer false. Brad explicitly says they got it wrong and delivers a disappointed lecture. True is implied by the binary adjudication, not independently verified here.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
Italy: the gift-delivering witch — true and correct
Ethan recalls a childhood puppet story about the witch in the prompt. The team follows him and answers true; Brad explicitly says they are right. The reward banter does not provide a clear numeric award. A later three-in-a-row remark does not establish an additional enacted question.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
India: lanterns and candles — majority answer wrong
The group discusses the lantern-and-candle claim. The adopted answer is true, while Ethan dissents. Brad reveals false, and Ethan points out that his objection was ignored. No individual points or compensating reward are inferred.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
Brazil: extra December pay — false guess marked wrong
The players debate what twice monthly pay would mean and split their votes. Ethan’s answer becomes the deciding vote, giving false as the team answer. Brad responds that they got it wrong and resumes ridicule. The preview reports this adjudication without treating the quiz’s payroll claim as independently checked fact.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
Estonia: a family sauna — false, with an unclear reveal
The team chooses false and asks for the answer. Brad reacts with frustrated ridicule, but the source has no clean spoken true/false reveal. The implied wrong answer remains qualified; the preview does not invent a more explicit adjudication.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
Kenya: Santa’s transport — congratulations and 50 Brad Bucks
The prompt names Land Rovers, camels or bikes and includes the comic February 30th wording. Ethan stays with false, while the adopted answer is true. Brad congratulates the group and announces 50 Brad Bucks. The fifty is retained as the announced award without claiming a final cumulative or individual total.
This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.
