I’m working on, well, I call it a “logic gate maze”, which basically works like a normal maze, except that every so often, there are “gates” which are labeled, so that when you reach them, you look down, find the corresponding true/false question, and based on the answer, know whether you can pass through that gate or not. I had planned on about fifty gates, but ended up with nintey, so I’m a few questions short and with my mind focused on the Alchemist Dar, t/f aren’t coming to me to easily.
So if you have any suggestions for a true/false question, I’d love to hear it!
They’d kinda need to be simple and straightforward, i.e. no trick ones, since a successful trick would put them through a gate that they shouldn’t pass through. Some examples I have are “Lincoln was elected president as a Republican” and “Your birthday was September 31, 1975”.
It could also just as easily be a math problem. For example: “pi > phi” or “4-(2-5(3-5)+2)+6=4+(1+(7-2)-3)-10”. TIA!
[spoiler]It gets listed like that on many webpages (does the CIA still have it like that?) but there isn’t such a thing as “Spain’s Independence Day”. Who would we celebrate our independence from, the Roman Empire?
Similar questions for Canada, England, France…[/spoiler]
It is possible to develop an ependymoma in the tips of the frontal lobes.
(I don’t think I need to spoiler this answer because there are maybe three people on the boards who will get it - False - there is no ventricle in the tips of the frontal lobes, so there can’t be any ependyma)
It is possible to develop an ependymoma in the spinal canal at L-1.
(True - there is ependymoma down there - and the typical tumor is the myxopapillary ependymoma)
It would be a trick question only if you’re one of my US coworkers who asked the Canadian team “so this is Canada’s Independence Day?” on Canada Day.
As the stumped Canadians rooted about for a response that would not get them fired, I patted the questioner’s head gently and said “don’t let him worry you, does the same thing to me and I’m from Spain. He’s fine when not trying to be social” One of the Canadians, grinning, said “and who would you guys celebrate your independence from, the Romans?”
Fair–although I’d be tempted to roll my eyes at you for arguing that, I’ve succumbed to similar temptations before.
Mostly, this question for some reason reminded me of 8th grade. I took a class on Minnesota Studies. We had a mostly stupidly easy multiple choice exam.
Afterwards I was in the girls locker room with several people–including Dingbat(if I think hard enough I can probably figure out her name, but I’m not sure why I’d bother).
Dingbat says “That test was really hard, except that one question which was sooo easy. Everyone knows Minnesota has 10,000 lakes”
Everyone else knew that that was NOT the correct answer to the question.
The Question had been “How many lakes does Minnesota have?”
A. 1,000
B. 5,000
C. 10,000
D. More than 15,000
False: Minnesota is one big swamp filled with mosquitoes and deer flies that will flay the flesh from your body. Oh, and don’t forget about the leeches in the deeper swamps (some would call them lakes). “Leech Lake” anyone?

Ok, before this thread becomes a bloodbath, let me rephrase this one:
