Friday Haffie Math Quiz - Thanksgiving with Haffies

Let's have a quick recap of our last quiz question, shall we?
If you clip half a Haffie, how many Haffies do you have? 
The overwhelming choice for the "best" answer was:
Option 3: A Haffie and a half - the original Haffie, plus half a Haffie of hair  
Paddington is slightly disappointed that more people didn't think he was adorable even with the bad haircut, but I fed him some treats and he's mostly over it now.

This week's quiz is all about Thanksgiving. Paddy is thankful for the special half-flake of alfalfa he got yesterday, and for his poofy forelock that makes him even more adorably irresistible. 

Poof is important when you are mooching treats.

But he wanted to invite some of his Haffie friends over for Thanksgiving (especially Shyloh, he thinks she's cute). This got me thinking about how many pounds of sweet potatoes and apple pie I'd have to provide if I had to feed a herd of Haffies. So this week's question is:

If you invited a dozen Haffies over for Thanksgiving dinner, how many apple pies would you need? 

  • Option 1: 6 pies - half a pie for each Haffie (they're all on diets) 
  • Option 2: 12 pies - one pie for each Haffie
  • Option 3: 18 pies - one for each Haffie and then seconds for half the Haffies
  • Option 4: Paddington gave all the other Haffies bad directions and they got lost on the way to Wyvern Oaks. Therefore, Paddington gets ALL THE APPLE PIES.

Remember to vote for the BEST answer (not the "right" answer, because this is Haffie math and there IS no right answer!) over on the poll on the right. Paddington promises an up-close-and-personal pic of his adorable nose if you do!

  1. Option 3 for sure!
    Shy sported a poofy forelock last winter. Is is not so poofy now. I have come to terms with the fact that she will never have the forelock over her eyes or the super long mane. But I do get sass and super smarts, so it's a trade off, right? Not so much?

    Shy would most definitely come over for Thanksgiving, especially if she got seconds :)

    1. Paddington thinks Shy's forelock is perfect the way it is. It compliments her adorable little face!

  3. Well, Miles told me if it was him, he would give bad directions so that's what we voted for! Haha

  4. But Paddy would be doing the inviting, right? He lives at Wyvern Oaks, so he wouldn't need to be invited. So if you invite twelve Haffies over then Paddy would make thirteen, and the math would get really complicated. Good thing there are no wrong answers!

    1. Paddington says that you're right, and whoever made up this question is obviously terrible at math. He's going to send the entire quiz back to the testing board and demand a redo.

      After he eats all the pies, of course.

  5. Paddington is adorable, but his haircut isn't bad which is why I didn't vote that one. :) I'm glad he got extra treats though.

  6. Paddington would most definitely give wrong directions! I do believe he's missing his plump(er) figure and feels the need to take every chance to get as much food as he can.
