I wouldn't be at all surprised if at some point the CIA or some other spying agency haven't taken a photo of a man with a wooden leg. ;)

Maybe I’m just a silly person. I got them all straight away although I’m not 100% on no11. I’ll not spoil it though by putting my answers so early in the thread.

The answer to number 11 is obviously 1. Not sure about the rest though.

Of course. In my defence it was silly o’clock in the morning when I was looking. I was thinking about the wording around the fields which might suggest the third field wasn’t his field so he’d have none.

And protest number 3, it is correct to say that in 1975 the President's name was Gerald Ford. That's not a proper trick question because the obvious answer is also correct.

It doesn’t say who was President in 1975. So it is always the current President as long as they were born before 1975.

Question: What was the President's name in 1975?
Answer: In 1975 the President was called Gerald Ford.

Seems OK to me. Check back with the 1975 papers and you'll find it's accurate. As a trick question, it's trying to be a bit too clever.

It doesn't say what the president is president of either. Typical Americans assuming that it would be their president, and anyway, they just get called "Mr. President"
