    I was a bit disappointed to be docked for choosing what I thought the most official answer of 8. Some ambiguity there at least.

    Everybody who has seen Arthur Christmas knows that reindeer names are

    Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, John, Bambi, "You with the white ear", "And You" and "you". 😉

    Took a somewhat educated guess and got it right.

    Zero in Australia since Santa uses kangaroos 😀

    ...but I went with nine since 0 was not an option! 😛

    I like the idea of Kangaroo instead of reindeer. I'd be open to Moose or polar bears too.

    "Rudolph the red nosed polar bear" does not flow as well as reindeer does. 🙂

    Merry Christmas to all, and hope you had a good holiday.

    The question was designed to be fun, and despite the various versions, the latest, current, most upgraded Santa sleigh (Arthur Christmas notwithstanding since he uses 500 to pull the S-1), uses 9 reindeer. The official judge says 9 is the answer.

    Those kangaroos must make for an especially bumpy ride; lots of ups and downs.

    As pointed out previously there are several versions. I always assumed that Rudolph only participated during the "foggy christmas eve".

    I bet those kangaroos come in handy when trying to navigate through storms.

    wait...everyone knows there's ten reindeer;

    the original 8,

    plus Rudolph,

    plus Olive, the other reindeer!

    Happy holidays everybody!

    I wish I had more time to be on this site, but it seems like working remotely makes you more busy rather than less. Oh well, maybe one day I'll get a "real" job! :hehe:
