Default The "Nearly Impossible Question" for Friday, April 29, 2011

TGIF NIQ'ers!!! We have worked very hard this week...and finally the weekend is almost upon us! Enjoy your final day before the weekend!

Yesterday was a "wash-out"...we had a lot of good answers, but NO WINNERS! So what was the answer to that question that no one got right?


Thursday's Question was....
86% of people in a recent survey said they WISH their spouse would do *this*.

The Answer:
Lose weight!


OK... well Friday be a better day? Will we have some winners on Friday? Only one way to find out... you have to play the game! Let's see what's up for Friday!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "Nearly Impossible Question" for Friday, April 29, 2011:


Only 16% of the 853 cultures on planet Earth have this in common with us in the United States. Most other cultures permit something that is illegal in the U.S. What is it?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday's Xtra/Bonus Question:

Sales of THESE have doubled in the last few year. What are they?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The hall is rented, the orchestra engaged, it's now time to see if you can dance." Well can you? GOOD LUCK!
