The game's question

Take the clues one after another; the hidden coin may turn up before the end.

Christmas dinner, and the pudding arrives at the table. Everyone gets a slice and starts eating very carefully, feeling with the tip of the spoon. Somewhere inside, a small silver coin is hiding, and it brings luck to whoever finds it. Which coin was it?

  • A farthing
  • A sixpence
  • Half a crown
Need a hint?

Bite gently, as if something hard were under your teeth. The coin was worth half a shilling. Did your mum or dad ever find it?

See the answer

Answer: A sixpence – small, silver and lucky for whoever found it.

Why this game : Christmas pudding and its hidden coin – a family custom to pass on with a smile.
