Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

Some of the items that occur in groups of twelve are well known and require no further introduction like the months of the year, Zodiac signs, inches in a foot and the number of countries on the continent of South America.

The Christian Old Testament and the Jewish faith both describe the formation of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, ten tribes named after the ten sons of the patriarch Jacob and two after his son Joseph's sons.

The Old Testament also has books named after the prophets. These are separated into the Major Prophets and the Minor Prophets. There are twelve books associated with the Minor Prophets.

The Twelve Days of Christmas are associated with the Christian faith. Christmas Day is the first day and the 12th day ends on the eve of Epiphany. Epiphany commemorates the visit of the Magi to baby Jesus and concludes the festive season. In the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas", each day describes a gift the singer received from their lover with the 12th gift being twelve drummers drumming.

Jesus chose twelve disciples during the time of His earthly ministry. These twelve were with Him from the time He started His ministry to His death on the cross. After Judas betrayed Him and then killed himself in remorse, another disciple was chosen as his replacement.

The Twelve Labours of Hercules come from Greek myth. The Greek hero Hercules was given twelve arduous tasks to complete which included things like slaying the Nemean lion and capturing the Cretan bull.

"12 Angry Men" is a classic courtroom drama starring Henry Fonda. The title refers to twelve jurors who are deliberating over a case.

The Twelve Grapes of Luck is a Spanish tradition. When the clock strikes midnight on New Year's eve, the tradition is to eat one grape with each strike of the clock. This is considered to bring luck for each of the coming twelve months.

The incorrect answers are all associated with the number seven.
