Favorite restaurant! What percent of the full business name did you use? Did you capitalize all the letters the same way or in a consistent predictable way? Did you add a word to meet the minimum character/word count? Did you actually have a favorite when you made this? Is your favorite restaurant public information?

This is why I set all my security question answers to a single answer for low security stuff and random pronounceable strings (in case I ever need to read them to a support person) stored in KeePass for high security stuff.
