Hmm, in some countries is already December 10th and question for 9 is still unknown :-(

Well... Technically, if you compare GMT +12 and GMT - 11 countries, they are never the same date...
In other words, it is never the same date all around the world

Where I'm at, Question 7 came out when it was still December 6th

I know, I know. Date is relative

But as I know @Meepledrone wants to give a change to answer as first person and get extra bonus for all nations. +1 merit

- Yellow Phantom: Oooooh! Of course, Mr. Grinch! (running away) Weeeeeeeee!!!
- Easter Bunny: You are so mean to them!

- Easter Bunny: Precisely.
- The Grinch: These phantoms have a very short memory.

Red is a normal meeple, not a big one, right?

From what I remember from last year's Advent Quizz, Meepledrone does not use large meeples in the Advent quizz... (exactly due to the perspective issues with that)

Meepledrone · « **Reply #83 on:** December 10, 2022, 06:40:43 AM »

- Meepledrone: No large meeples are used in the questions unless expressedly indicated.
- The Grinch: All these clarifications are unnecessary!
- The Grinch: I will not tolerate it!
- The Grinch: Let them live in total uncertainty for a month!!!
- The Grinch: AND LET THEM FAIL MISERABLY!!!
- Meepledrone: Ahem! Where is your Christmas spi...? (stopping abruptly)... Never mind!
- The Grinch:
