Common pitfalls to watch for

Mixing up regional variations (same tradition, different meaning)
Confusing “lucky” vs “unlucky” numbers, colors, and gifts
Assuming one greeting fits every situation or audience
Overlooking timing rules (before vs during vs after the new year)
Missing the reason behind a taboo (sound-alikes, symbolism, etiquette)

How to improve your score

Aim for understanding the “why” behind each custom, not just memorizing a list—many questions hinge on symbolism, wordplay, or social etiquette.

If you miss a question, note what category it belonged to (food, visiting, gifting, language) and replay with a different difficulty to balance confidence-building with challenge.
