But I'll take up the quiz mantel. A quick multiple choice.
1. Adam is married. Caleb is unmarried. Adam is looking at Ben, Ben is looking at Caleb. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?
A: Yes
B: No
C: It's impossible to tell
2. I offer you an even money bet that I will roll a six in three rolls of a fair die. If you enjoy gambling when the odds are in your favour, should you take the bet?
A: Yes
B: No
3. Norwich and London are 150 miles apart. A car sets off from Norwich towards London at 40mph and a bicycle sets off from London to Norwich at 10mph at the same time. Which is closer to London when they pass?
A. The car
B. The bicycle
C. The blue one next to the fish.

1. C. Impossible to tell. Adam is looking at Ben, but we don't know whether Ben is married or unmarried. Ben is looking at Caleb, but the same yields. We don't know whether Caleb is looking back at Ben (Caleb could have his back turned at Ben), so without knowing the status of Ben, nothing is certain.
2. B. It's 50% chance, so the odds can't be said to be in my favour (assuming "odds in my favour" <=> "odds > 50%"). Unless, of course, that I choose to gamble even though I don't enjoy it
3. A, B and C. Both the car and the bicycle has the same distance from London when they meet. So if only one answer is allowed, C is the only possibility. If one or more answers are allowed, A and B is my guess
