Medicine: You have ten minutes to sterilize your pocket knife and perform an appendectamy on yourself.... My favorite question has been the Math question. It usually goes something like this: Math: Develop a numbering system such that 'e' and 'pi' are integers. Is this really so unreasonable? I can't decide based on the Math that I have had.
