Some of the questions don't have one globally unique answer, for example: which day is a part of the weekend, Sunday, Friday or Monday. Where I live (Israel), Friday is part of the weekend, were as I bet the creator of the list lives in the USA and as many times happens, believes the USA==World and the "correct" answer is probably Sunday.

Stop bombing palestinian children and we'll start giving a fuck about what you call the weekend.

Friday is part of the weekend for Palestinian children too.

Another problem with this system is that it only works for people who can read and understand English.
