i thought the one about the "square box on top of you engine that forces air into the engine" was a bit of a tricky one to have.

What if someone knows bugger all about a car's engine?

Just refresh I know, but still.

An orange is a type of Berry.

Blueberry, Blackberry...

So why not Orangeberry?

There is also a Blood Orange which has streaks of red in... Bloodredberry...

Is it just me or have i seriously underestimated the average IQ of pf users?

how can people be getting the questions wrong.
most 10 year olds could answer the questions!

the last one i had was "what was the colour of napoilans white horse?"
hardly a difficult question.

another i had was "what is two plus five?" please tell me you ALL know the answer.

the reason i posted was its a pain in the arse, not because the questions were too hard

Admittedly, mine was somewhat of a jestful comment. The last person I PM'd was Benni and thats me scarred for life. Never again will I PM anybody!

People aren't stupid, in fact there probably isn't even an issue half the time, people just love complaining when things change.
