Once people are done with that they might be amused by try this one:
• You are on a stationary bus, holding a helium balloon on a string. The balloon is floating directly above you. The bus starts accelerating forward. Does the balloon:

2. Continue to float directly above you, or
3. Move toward the back of the bus relative to you.
