"AH NEVERFAIL" you smashed it again.
Thou art the ORACLE😺😺
 
You people are on drugs, The Friends question makes no sense how does Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), and Matthew Perry (Chandler) first name start with the same letter as their character name
Great question! What are their surnames? I just guessed (as happens often with some unmatching Q&A.
 
So - me again - How is question 1 answer C - becuase even in the answer given by the composer I cannot see how any of the characters names begin with the same letter as the actors who play them. Or am I reading the question wrong?

Question 9: so Holi according to google is "
Holi is a Hindu festival that celebrates spring, love, and new life. Some families hold religious ceremonies, but for many Holi is more a time for fun. It's a colourful festival, with dancing, singing and throwing of powder paint and coloured water. Holi is also known as the "festival of colours".

While Diwali is "
Diwali is derived from the word “Deepavali,” which means “a row of lights.” Celebrants light rows of traditional clay oil lamps outside their homes to symbolize the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.

The question asks
"What is the name of the colorful, annually celebrated Hindu festival that signifies the victory of good over evil?"

I chose Diwali because I thought by my understanding of victory of light over darkness related more to victory of good over evil than having a fun colourful festival. I admit I am a bit bewildered because the question has 2 answers depending on which part of the question you consider the most important part.
