Ok sorry for the double post but I've just found a book that contains loads of "Cool Trick Questions"
How many wives did Henry VIII have? 2 or 4 if you are Catholic. Anne of Cleves was annuled so the marriage never took place. Pope Clement VII declared the marriage to anne boleyn illegal. Henry himself declared his mariage to Catherine of Aragon illegal. He annuled his marriage to Anne Boleyn before her execution (which is strange since she was executed for Adultery and if the marriage never existed she couldn't betray it) He did the same to Catherine Howard.
How many nostils have you got?
4. Two extrenal and 2 internal thstconnect to the throat.
Where did Marco Polo come from?
Croatia. Mark Chicken to give hon his anglicised name was born Marko Pilic in Korcula.
I'll leave you with one.
Who invented the steam engine?
a. James Watt b. George stephenson c. Richard Trevithick d. Thomas Newcomen e. A Heron from Egypt
Because none of them have obvious answers. If you walked up to 100 people in the street and asked them how many wived henry VIII had theyw ould say 6 and would be wrong.
