It's not like they hit you with random math word-problems or anything. Unless you randomly smacked your fists on the keyboard when you initially set up your security questions/answers, the questions shouldn't really stump you... even years later.
Yes DiapDealer, but it isn't always wise to put the actual information in as an answer. I mean if someone wanted to break into your MR account for example and there was a security question about where you were born and they had that information already (and it is out there somewhere) they are practically already through the door (so to speak). So it's better to use answers that don't match the real answers to such questions as a bit of added security.
