K, how about a clarifying question for next year's quiz. Everywhere I'm seeing the 4-leaf clover treated as a symbol of St. Patrick's Day, but the item which he reputedly used in his teachings was the shamrock, and strictly a 3-leaf one, at that. So, given that the celebration is easily convolved with tradition ("luck of the Irish"), which of the 2 more properly commemorates the spirit of the man and his work?
I did not receive the pot o'gold but I did get three of of the five questions... not too bad. Still feel lucky... now if only I could find that four leaf clover!

Thanks, that was fun!

I only got 1 right. I never was any good at trivia!
I'm not Irish. But, I thought it would be fun to test my knowledge.
I better know these things, my Irish grandmother would not be happy if I didn't! : )
That was fun!! Thank you for providing entertainment and learning while at work.
