Name the Christmas song that has been awkwardly translated from English to Thai, to Welsh, to Tamil, to Maori, to Dinka, and back to English.
A peaceful, holy day. Everything was forgiven, everything was white.

Its Christmas this week, and that means Santa is going to be travelling around the world giving out gifts.
But surely a sled pulled by reindeer isn’t the best way to do that.
So for your team names this week, we want you to suggest another way for Santa to get his work done.
Wormholes straight from the north pole to the tree.
Set up Santa franchises on every block
A broom like in Harry Potter
Outsource it all to individual drones
Keep the sled, but have it pulled by polar bears. Nobody will mess with polar bears.
Any suggestions to Santa travelling by sled will get a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
When we asked about the English translation of Spanish colours, one team asked us if we wanted them in the correct order. Well… yeah!
When taking guesses on a bonus question, we stated with a very deliberate inflection that the correct answer wasn’t SOUTH Sudan, and it was still about 30 seconds before someone figured out that it was Sudan.
And it’s going to be tough to catch our leaders in the quarterly tournament, but we don’t know how the chips will fall on the highest average front.
