Ok, Mind Traps the Game.

I put up questions and you answer them. These are some mind trapping questions so get them right. BTW don't be a loser and cheat. Also if you don't explain and someone answers and explains better, by my judgment the point may go to the person that explained better. But that's just a thought.
