There's a new one here: http://www.guessthegift.co.uk/
I guess they're giving clues in the video to what the prize is supposed to be, and people guesses are scrolling along the bottom. not sure if this needs its own thread for answers? I don't think anyone will know for certain that they're right!0 -

The competitions as part of this one are being posted in the normal way by elverman on their separate threads as per usual. Maybe it could be removed from the advents. I haven't got round to checking yet but assume it might be the same with the other greatcompetition sites.0

I will remove it, but they were posted on here as they part of their advent comps, thats what this thread is for, It's not to tread on anyones toes, just to keep all the advents in one place x#JusticeForGrenfell0

Need some help with the Oxford University Press quiz on day 4 of the Advent calendar.
I have 3 of the 4 required answers:
1 - what is the ‘Mae West’ that got Mae West into the dictionary?
c. A Lifejacket
2 - what is the expected response to the 13th-century greeting ‘wassail’?
B. Drink-Hail
3- in 1598 the traveller Jan van Linschoten dined on ‘rice, which they seeth in broth … and is somewhat sowre but it tasteth well, and is called ...’ What? (Hint: Search the timeline for 'sowre')
C. Curry
Having trouble with question 4:
what date does the OED give for the launch of ‘rocket’ as a word?
As far as I can see the answer is 1566
