I got 6. But I think that should be 7, because there's no way I could know that stupid baseball question. I thought they were talking about cricket, the sport of gentlemen. Hm. Some of those are quite good.

The only ones I missed:
The baseball one I didn't know the answer.
The "Ark" question I fell for the trick.
The birthdays question I think is wrong. Spoiler -> I've certainly had more than one birthday! It didn't say "per year".
:innocent:

Idem, and in my opinion, you are absolutely right about the birthday-question. Spoiler -> Birthday is actually just the day of birth, but through the years it has become such a common term for your anniversary, that it could mean the two.

LOL those questions are really old. I got 9 / 11, failing on the cricket (or whatever the hell sport it was), and the apples one because the original question starts with "You have three apples..." and not "There are three apples..." and I didn't read it properly.

I did a similar thing when I was working at a Youth Hostel. 7am, hung over, took the trays of bacon out the oven, put them on the side, took off the oven gloves then picked the trays up again as I wanted to move them. At least my headache disappeared pretty much instantly, but I couldn't pick anything up for 2 days coz it hurt too much!

I once picked up a soldering iron by the hot end. :urff: Still have the scars on my fingers as it happens.

Being intelligent doesn't stop anyone from being a dopey cunt. ;)

When I was 4, I touched a hot iron just to check how it feels. :eek: :urff:
I must admit I still remember the feeling very well.
Thank God it was winter and I could spend the next several hours with my hand pressed onto a cold windowpane.

My tale involves a 12-minute pizza left in the oven for just under an hour, dropping it, stupidly trying to catch it and getting scalding hot tomato puree and melted cheese topping all over my finger. Driven by some childish impulse I immediately stuck said finger in my mouth, resulting in a badly burned finger and tongue...
