kaleidoscope Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 All the answers in a quiz I am trying to complete are two-word answers and each of the two words begin with the same letter, e.g. Starred in The Gold Rush = Charlie Chaplin Origin of the Universe = Big Bang. The question I am stuck on is as follows: They arrived on 12th night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esme Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I believe the three kings, three wise men or Magi are supposed to have arrived at the birthplace of Christ on the twelfth night or it could be a reference to Shakespeares play so it could be Viola, Sebastian and the ships captain or it could be twelve drummers drumming from the song the twelve days of christmas I reckon the Magi is the most likely one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ... I reckon the Magi is the most likely one thoughIt's got to be alliterative though ... Merry Magi? And First Footers arrive on New Year's Eve not Epiphany. Think max probably has the right answer, can't think of anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaleidoscope Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Drummers drumming was one of the answers I had already thought about but the question refers to 12th Night whilst the song is the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Suffragette1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 As it's Shakespeare's birthday it is more than likely to be a reference to the play, I would have thought. Something twins? Sebastian and Viola were twins after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummers drumming was one of the answers I had already thought about but the question refers to 12th Night whilst the song is the Twelve Days of Christmas. Aren't Twelfth Night and the Twelfth Day of Christmas (when "my true love sent to me, 12 drummers drumming") the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
