Oops.... Mari's answer about a goddess named Mari must have messed up my head....
As to the answers.... whoo hoo! I knew I was right about tuesday :) And gods/goddess are sorta my forte, considering I've been researching different pantheons for the last couple of years in order to write an encyclopedia on all the world's deities. So that's how I knew the other two questions that I got right.....
