Q U I Z # 2

The following comes to you courtesy of Dee, Colleen, and probably somebody else, but the situations alluded are certainly not restricted to them and not to only the cousins.
 
1. How many Smith cousins does it take to turn on an Irish shower? 
 
2. How many just gave up and took a bath because they couldn’t figure it out?
 
3. How many Smith cousins does it take to plug in an Irish electricity adapter?
 
4. Which part of her anatomy did one cousin finally use to get the adapter prongs into the socket holes? 
A. right elbow  B. right fist    C. right leg  D. right ear
 
5. How many Smith Cousins does it take to remember how to say “Thank you” in Gaelic?
 
6. How many Smith cousins does it take to flush an Irish toilet?
 
7. So far anyway, how many Smith cousins have walked in to the gender opposite loo? (Caution: This answer is subject to change from hour to hour)
 
8. How many Smith cousins know which side of an Irish road to drive on? 
 
9 How many Smith cousins does it take to cross an Irish road?
 
10. How many Smith cousins does it take to open the gate to get in to the Japanese Gardens at the Irish National Stud?
 
BONUS: How many male Smith Cousins have been officially declared “National Stud?” (Hint, the initials are BBB.)
 
I am taking the liberty of offering hints even though the authors of this quiz didn’t grant permission to do so.
H I N T S
1. Look at the photo accompanying the question, then count the girls on this tour.
2. How many are named Rosemary
3. How of these cousins have a truly Irish last name?  (And just for fun, what is that last name?)
4. Choice D is wrong, but she might have tried that before succeeding
5. Thank you in Gaelic is “go raibh maith agat.” Count the words.
6. No clue—some aren’t admitting it.
7. Look at the Gaelic words above—those found on restroom doors—and then you decide which loo you would use.    Second hint: Your first guess was wrong.
8. I’ll give you the answer. All of ‘em. Now that you know, here’s a follow-up question: How many instinctively remember the answer the instant the answer is needed?
9. See hint #8, then calculate how many pedestrian cousins are about to step off the curb together.
10. You can look at the graphic with this question, but I doubt it will help. It certainly didn’t help them. 
 
BONUS SECOND HINT: See the photo in another episode of our Smithing Ireland blog. 

IRISH SMILE

There are many good reasons for drinking,

One has just entered my head-

If a man doesn't drink when he's living,

How the hell can he drink when he's dead?
