That's part of the problem. Too many people try to "interpret" questions that require little or no interpretation. Simple is best. I was not asked anything about where my parents lived at the time of my birth. I was asked where I was born. I will never forget the "correct" answer.
But regardless of all that, I find it hilarious that this sort of thing is even an issue. I only wish I was able to create the questions AND the answers to all tests in advance of actually taking the test. Things would have been much easier. That someone would complain about failing a test they
composed for themselves (let alone composed from such iconic life events/places) is completely baffling to me. You have no one else to blame for not knowing the answer you created in advance to a question you hand-picked in advance.
EDIT: I think the biggest issue with security questions like these is that many people set them up under the expectation that they're never going to need them. They're just something to "get through" to get the account set up. Then they're looking to blame someone when the worst
does happen and they don't remember what they chose. If people set them up with the expectation of
when, rather
if they were going to need them, perhaps there'd be more consideration given to them at the time of their creation.
