PARSHA-PIX - Parshat Vayigash

ParshaPix

The LION of Yehuda faces off with the SHOR (bull) of Yosef.
5 changes of clothes that Yosef gave Binyamin.
10 male and 10 female donkeys were loaded with special gifts for the ruler in Egypt.
The wagons, not exactly the style that Yosef send to/for his father Yaakov.
The 70 who went down to Egypt. The asterisk can refer to Yosef and his sons already being there but being counted among those who went down with Yaakov. or it could be for Yocheved.
The pie divided in 5 with one fifth colored in is the tax that Yosef imposed on the people on behalf of Par'o.
And finally there is an old PPP-type of pun - LECHEM BASUSIM (one horse actually).

TTriddles:
Last week's (Mikeitz)
[1] What makes 2 12, besides adding 10?
[2] Who was an occupational therapist?
[3] P to Y + 1176 = A to M
[4] Who besides Yosef would have satisfied the criterion set down by Par'o?
[1] The word MIKEITZ indicates that it was 10 years and 2 more. This is borrowed from Avraham and Sara - Baal HaTurim.
[2] Sar HaTabachim O.T. Maybe the Sar HaMashkim as well. 
[3] Par'o gave his ring, etc. to Yosef and 1176 years later, Achashveirosh did the same with Mordechai.
[4] Betzalel is described in the same way Yosef is - someone with RU'ACH ELOKIM, and a person who is Chacham and Navon.

Once again, RHM came through with a nice combination of correct solutions and some real-nice tries. So did a few others.

This week's TTriddles are...
[1] Yaakov, Binyamin, Yotam b. Y'ruba'al
[2] AR KY VA UT OH NY NJ NH IN MA CT AL CA
[3] Yehuda's laitini message/warning to Yosef from the opening trimot
[4] He for 830; he for 369
[5] Spin a foreign dreidel too long and hard and where do you end up?
What bracha do you make if you do the same to a local one?
