All the guys recognise #5

cornhole council otm

Leicester’s was about plans for a zombie attack.

I think #5 isn’t as interesting to me because I could imagine it being a genuine question (like, for an A-Level Sociology project or something). Gonna vote Napoleon, though I do like the pin board question.

lolol

4 is funnier because it actually could be getting at a genuine value for money issue, but one which is surely so insignificant that it’s still wasting time.
