because chobibo doesn't want to answer zuze
It's not that I don't want to, I based my answer on the question, if the question had mentioned that Johnny was a girl, then I would have answered Zuze. If your trying to say I'm dumb then fine.

Actually trolman's statement is more sensible than the thread's trick question, which didn't mention that Johnny was, and is, a girl, woman, or female.

I believe trick questions are designed to trick by placing strategic details on the questions, if the question lacks content (i.e. lacking details), it shouldn't be considered a trick question. Another person could just add another detail thereby nullifying the previously added detail. Hence, a trick question must be fully detailed without further expansion.

Don't worry I'm not offended.
EDIT: just disregard what I said, I'm just having a bad mood...

This :)

The trick question is dumb. It would be like asking: "What does blue and red have in common?" Everyone would answer: "they're both colours", and then you could come with your no sense answer: "naah they're both girls".

Stupid question is stupid...
 
mckill, you should notice it's trolman not trollman :p
I hope he's not offended coz he IS like that :D...

Everyone would answer: "they're both colours"
No!, not everyone...they both have 'e' and visible to the naked eye...if you found the thread's question is stupid, then no need
to get involve in this, else the person who thinks that this is stupid is more stupid than the question XD...

EDIT: just disregard what I said, I'm just having a bad mood...
Dont worry about it :D...

There is no trick.
- Or rather, the trick is on you.

The lack of information regarding the name, which is a male name,
renders the reader unable to understand the logical fallacy, which is that "Johnny" is a female.
Note how I said fallacy, because it's a theoretical impossibility.
Considering the fact that "Johnny" is the male counterpart to "Johnnie."

I reckon this trick might work better in a verbal context, considering you
can hide the difference in spelling with verbal likeness.
But stated like it currently is, Johnny's father has five sons,
"Johnny" is a male name, hence Johnny has to be the fifth son,
given the rest are already mentioned.

He just annihilated your entire thread. Now shoo.
