I realized that one of my nerdy joys is figuring out what the question would be to get the answer I want. It stems from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5-part trilogy where we learn that the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything is 42. But it is unclear what that question actually is. Could it be as simple as "What is 6*7?" or "How many seconds will be left on the microwave clock when I decide the tea I'm reheating is probably hot enough?"
So.... here is a winter/summer time-waster for those who can be arsed/are bored enough. When I feel like it I'll post a few answers. I may even join in with a few suggested questions. There will be judgement (by anyone who feels like it). There may even be points for the best questions. Who Knows? (I enter that question for every category from hereon as a standing entry)
Here are some answers to start you off: (address as many or as few as you like, whenever you like -and as many answers with the same question as you want) Points will definitely come from creativity and coffee-spitting entries.
1) 67
2) It is related to the number of legs and the angle
3) Mary
4) A Tiger
Here are my first entries
1) What steady speed on a freeway/motorway is a sure indicator you have something to hide from the cops?
3) Which Knight lives on Elm Street?
