Three Holidays, Two Trivia Questions, and One Chance to Prove You're Smarter Than Jerry!

The calendar was packed with celebrations worth noting. First up: International Soundcheck Day, which cleverly falls on 12/12 because, well, "one-two, one-two!" The date marks the annual tribute to audio technicians everywhere who make sure we can actually hear what's happening.

Sweet tooths rejoiced for National Gingerbread House Day, that delicious German tradition from the 1800s made famous by Hansel and Gretel. The segment sparked the age-old debate: are those gingerbread houses actually edible after you build them, or is slowly eating yours throughout December just asking for trouble?

Finally, Official Lost and Found Day encouraged everyone to reflect on items that mysteriously vanished and maybe, just maybe, start looking for them again.

The quiz tied perfectly into that lost-and-found theme with two stumpers:

1) Which 1986 movie features an unforgettable jukebox scene with The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"?

A) Back to School
B) Footloose
C) Top Gun

2) Which American innovator famously said, "I have not failed, I just have found 10,000 ways that won't work"?

A) Dr. Jonas Salk
B) Thomas Edison
C) J.K. Rowling
