I agree. @Everyone: I get plenty of the answers wrong, and TFF hasn't scolded me yet. LOL

Thanks for doing these, TFF.

1. So as not to get too tipsy to fulfill the mitzva of "speaking of the exodus from Egpyt until late into the night"
2. If you drink a 5th cup, it appears as if you are adding to the mitzva of 4 cups - big no-no to add mitzvas on your own that were not given by Hashem - just ask Adam haRishon
3. We are prohibited from eating ANYTHING after the seder, so that the sweet taste of gan eden (the taste of the Garden of Eden the Afikomen gives us), can be savored until one falls asleep.

Good to know!

Multiple choice:

What does the Matza we eat at the Seder represent?

1. The matza the Egyptians regularly fed the Jews during their servitude (matza digests slowly, so it's de facto the food of slaves)
   
2. The matza the Jews had eaten at their seder the night before their departure on the 15th of Nissan
   
3. The matza the Jews carried on their shoulders as they left Egypt

Nice job! While all three items in the list are true, only #3 answers the original question.

Prob too close to Pesach for any more questions. Will pick it back up during chol hamoad.
