I do have a nit to pick with this one, even though I got the answer "correctly":

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made
from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why the
hell are you still reading these???

Greenhouses *are* made from glass. However, green houses are, probably, made from green bricks (if red houses are made from red bricks etc). There's a difference between a "green house" and a "greenhouse" (I even pronounce the two slightly differently). If whoever made up that question doesn't know it, he/she has no right to sneer at those of us who do :)

Pedantically yours,
