They said I got the marrying one wrong. If it isn't illegal then it is legal. And if there isn't a law against it it isn't illegal. And I don't know if there's a law against it. So I was right to say, "I don't know." So I'm claiming 11/11.

11/11 I almost supposed erroneously, but I caught it -- whew!
I don't quite get the love life determination though.

Plus the baseball one, technically, has four potential right answers, depending on the inning.
Also the sheep one (was it sheep?) didn't have the sucker answer in the choices. What was with *that?

10/11. The one I got wrong was the one about how many outs there are an innings. Wouldn't it depend on the relative skill of the batsman and the bowler? It could be anywhere from 0 to 6.

Ahem. It wasn't "how many outs there are an innings", it was "how many outs there are an inning'. Note the singular form.

I'm a spinnner, and the yarn that is initially spun from the fibre is called a singles, not a single. Two singles (the plural and singular are the same, like "sheep"; is this a wool thing maybe?) twisted together makes a two-ply yarn - three is three-ply, etc.

I did notice the lack of an 's' but assumed it was a typo.

11/11 here but I also got the "only three people" comment - they should change that.

Well, irregardless of whether or not, etc., Where do you get 0 to 6? Isn't it more like 0 to 10?

Me too, 11 for 11. ...and, in spite of all our sterling perfection, it _still_ says "Only 3 people have ever scored this high..."
They left out some other rusty old saws:
12) On its maiden flight from London to Washington, DC, a giant new Airbus with 830 people on board crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. Where do they bury the survivors?
-- [Don't Know? London? Washington? Paris? At sea? Somewhere else?]
13) A train leaves from New York City and heads West at 100 miles an hour, and simultaneously on the same track another train heads East from San Francisco at 60 mph, Assume the two cities are exactly 3,200 miles apart, and there are no stops or delays along the way. How far apart will the trains be when they meet?
--[Don't know? 2,000 miles? 1,200 miles? 0 miles? 20 hours?]
14) A barn is aligned perfectly North and South, and a rooster is perched exactly at the top of the roof facing East. It lays an egg on the peak. The wind is blowing from the West at 10 mph. Down which side of the roof will the egg roll (*)?
--[Don't Know? South Side? East Side? West Side? All around the town?]
*Now be serious, and don't go distracting yourself by making silly Chinese Restaurant puns!

10 out of 11
I protest on the apple question that it's unclear, but if someone else says I knew from the title I was being "trickt" and should have known not to go with the obvious answer, I guess I couldn't in good conscience argue with their contrary and argumentative self.

Make it a peacock and you might get more suckers.

Even so. As I recall, what's supposed to hatch out of a rooster egg is a cockatrice. A.k.a. Basilisk, last heard from within the Chamber of Secrets deep below Hogwarts...
