It's dark and snowing so you're probably not skiing.
So what's older the ski or the wheel - and by how much?

Where did chess originate?
That's easy.

Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson wrote the music, and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics.

that could be question one in the Xmas ski trivia quiz?
IIRC the Sami have folk legends that they invented skiing as much as 10,000 years ago, there's a slight definition problem about what's a ski and what's snowshoe of course. Surprisingly, there's a similar problem with the wheel, you need to define if it's some sort of transport or not as oldest archaeological findings have the first wheels used by potters. Generally, provably, skis are around 5000 BC and the wheel 3500BC I think.
