Hi Argee2 ! Tree section had me stumped (sorry) too with those 2 questions too.
1- They eat them for Salicyclic acid which helps relieve the pain of arthritis caused by a deer tick they carry. Could be a Lyme disease tick I guess .
2- This one really has me stumped too although my parents say that something did happen concerning the tree last year but they just can't remember what it was.
I do know that a Blue Peter viewer picked the tree instead of the Norwegian Farmer, so could it be this ? Other thoughts in my mind, us protesting about them whaling and Ken Livingstone renaming it some non-Christmas name like Winterval Tree to avoid offending non-christians.
I do hope they print the answers as this quiz has had me hooked for days now and I'm finally E-mailing the answers today.
