See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I'm afraid I have to contest your bonus answer, SS.

According to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the book about the book, not the book...), one proposed question to the answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything (42) is "How many roads must a man walk down?"

And since we all know the Hitchhiker's Guide is more or less the Bible of Sleuth, I must offer that it is by its nature truth, and that my answer is right, and that makes me a pretty swell guy.

Discuss.

In the absence of a sane answer (being that the question is in itself a rhetorical one) it has actually been answered officially on one occasion, and I would have to agree with Serges that the answer is indeed 42. And that has nothing to do with any political or agency affiliations.

"The Hitchhikers: Would we lie?"

as to the bonus question... it's more of which road a man chooses to take that deems him a man.

biggie you were given an honourable 'thought'.

Oh and Serges and Adam: "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." DA

So I won't be changing my results :D
