1. Concave, it feels better in my mouth

2.Yes, I'm also color blind

3. Gray, 'cause I'm an American

4. 49, it was the first number that came to mind, that's not very good reasoning

5. 8, I just have a bias against the number 8, don't know why

6. Why should I answer that?

7. How should I know?

8. Bowties are cool.

9. Left, I'm a leftie, you guys are too.

10. Increased risk of workplace accidents due to tools not being commonly made for lefties

11. Yes, the folks over at the DA are quite civil.

12. I'm not a dictionary.

13. C. When in doubt go with C, it's the most common answer on a multiple choice test....Oh Shoot!

14. This is number 14, I only know that since I had the foresight to number them.

15. No, 15 is not a prime number as it is divisible by 5, 3, 15, and 1.

16. 17 and 13 are the two nearest prime numbers to 15.

Concave.

No, its a little too different.

Quote

Grey or gray?

Gray

What is the randomest number, in your opinion? Why?

13, its both prime and odd, but 3 is the sides of a triangle, the trinity, too many things. 5 is half of 10, and 7 is the first weird number. 11 has 2 1's. 13 is the second weird number, making it the randomest.

Quote

What is the most boring number, in your opinion? Why?

4. Its so common. The first square, and its binary.

Quote

What would you consider a good question?

A question that has an interesting answer

Quote

What would you consider a bad question?

A question that shows a lack of thought.

Quote

Tie or bowtie?

Depends on the context and the other clothes. Generally tie.

Quote

Left or right?

Left, obviously. 

Quote

What do you consider to be the biggest discrimination against left-handed people in our modern day society?

The fact that we write from right to left, and get our hands covered with graphite.

Quote

Can a hemalurgist really be a gentleman?

Of course.

Quote

What is the definition of the word humdrum?

Dull, monotonous. 

Quote

Do these questions fit into that category?

No. they are definitely interesting questions.

Quote

How many questions were there so far? (I'm too lazy to count)

13.

Quote

Is that a prime number?

Yes. The most random number in my opinion.

Quote

And if it isn't, what is the nearest prime number to it?

N/A.

So you don't really like being asked questions, but you do enjoy the effect, which is that you get to answer questions?

Yeah. When people come up and ask me questions I get annoyed due to being distracted, but I do love to answer questions.

Some... dapper questions

Black or gray suits?

Black. Much more formal, if you can keep them clean.

Quote

Vest or no vest? 

Always wear a vest for maximum formality. It also looks a bit cooler.

Quote

Top hat or bowler?

I am torn on this one. Bowler hats are usually very nice, but top hats are a tad more formal. Personally I would prefer a bowler hat. It has a slightly casual look that can set people at ease. Or clash with the rest of the outfit. It really depends on the look.

Quote

Normal tie or bow tie?

As I said above, generally tie. There are more options with cool knots with the tie, but the bow-tie definitely has its place.

Quote

Tails or no tails?

Tails are more antiquated, and I tend to like them more. Its understandable that people don't wear them anymore though.

Quote

Trench coat or short coat?

Trench coat. Longer coats are cooler.

Quote

Silver or gold?

Ooh it depends. I would have to say silver for a black themed outfit, but if you go with a blue or brown suit then gold.

Quote

Black or brown loafers? 

Depends on what kind of outfit. If the rest is black or grey, then the loafers are black. Otherwise wear brown.

Quote

Monocle or sunglasses?

This is time period dependent. Even though Monocle's are cooler IMO, sunglasses are the way to go.

1. Cats or catapults: which would you rather have a bucket of?

1. How much of the world's fresh water supply to you think Steelheart ruined? 

1. Do you think that the voting age should be lowered? I'm split between the benefits of early exposure leading to higher turnouts and the costs of encouraging advertising to children.

1. You've recently acquired six plots of land, and a short road that connects the two buildings that you have placed at the center of each set of three properties. Half of your holdings are just farmland. The rest is uncut woodlot. If you build another building nearby, you can claim more land. But to avoid exorbitant property taxes, you must build your next structure at least as far apart as your current two buildings are from each other. To get to a new location, you'll need to build a road. You've got the wood to do it, but need some bricks. Do you barter with your neighbor to use some of his bricks, or do you spend you resources on upgrading your current establishments? (There is a right answer to this question because Hoid help me I will fight you if you try to steal the Longest Road title.)

Catapults. I despise cats. I would rather be near a dropbear than a cat.

Not more than 1 percent.

I'm going to say no, mainly because I don't necessarily trust a lot of my peers to vote. Most of them don't have the time or desire to learn about candidates or their policy. While Higher turnouts are good, they aren't necessarily good if everyone who turns out is misinformed.

If I seem to understand the context, I think that clearly the best option is to barter with your neighbor to try and go for the Largest Army title.

Mac is pronounced how its spelled. 

Me and the rest of my family pronounce Thorstenson as it is spelled, but the icelandic pronunciation is closer to Tor-stain-son

Watermelon or cantaloupe?

if you could chose one flavor of ice cream to eat for the rest of your life, what flavor would it be?

You have 3 wishes, and cannot gain anymore. What are those wishes?

Watermelon.

Chocolate. I love all things chocolate.

The wisdom to make the best decisions, then decide the other two based off of my newfound prowess.

I am a person who has never visited the "People you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley thread" should I?

What is your opinion on the longest thread now that it is the longest thread?

Which Cosmere character would hate Infinity War the most; who would love it the most?

Immolate you enemies or freeze them in a time loop?

Very happy  and proud that it reached that point and continued to grow.

Silence would probably not like it very much, she strikes me as the kind of person that wouldn't be able to enjoy watching all the films needed to appreciate it.

I think Hoid would appreciate it a lot, he seems to be the kind of person that would appreciate stories of any kind, and he definitely has the time to watch the whole MCU.

Freezing in a time loop is less permanent, I don't trust my judgement in deciding who should die and who should live and so giving them a way out when I change my mind in a week and don't hate them anymore is probably a good thing.

If I answered this two and a bit year's a go, I would have said yes. Now I understand how people find that kind of behavior from americans weird, so I will say that my grandfather is icelandic, and leave it at that.

I needed to think about them for a bit.

Portmanteau of a nickname and a family name.
