Ok, seriously, I cannot do this. I've been trying to re-do the test for probably months now, but I just do not have the time and/or mind to do it. I think about the test, and what needs to be done to make it perfect, but then I get overwhelmed by all that and don't do it.
The test needs fixing, it was way too easy. My next plan of attack was to just make one test for everyone that has many questions on it - rather than three random questions for each person. But then the list of q's I have needs trimming down and altering so the answers can't be easily googled. Its kind of a simple enough task, but clearly one that I cannot do.
I figured that maybe the current members of the clan could work somewhat together on the test to make it better.
Or I dunno, if you think the questions are fine the way they are and aren't too hard, then thats okay too. Its hard for me to tell since I knew the answers from the beginning.
Anyway, here is the pool of questions we have:
Maturity Questions:
What does it mean to be ‘mature’?
When do you get bored?
You and your friend are eating at the local Tavern. Your friend gets some food on their chin but doesn’t realise it. You see it, but contemplate telling them for you don’t want to embarrass them. What do you do?
-Kindly tell them about it.
You are a young Princess of Westmarch and have fallen in love with the Prince of Khanduras, but there is tension between Westmarch and Khanduras. At a very important party with many important political guests, your father, the King of Westmarch invites the King of Khanduras and his son (the Prince) as guests to try and keep the peace between the two Kingdoms. The King of Khanduras asks the King of Westmarch if there are any suitable maidens to be his Queen. The King of Westmarch then asks you as his daughter if you would accept a marriage proposal from the royalty of Khanduras. Assuming he means the Prince of Khanduras, and not the King, you accept. Soon a special announcement is made to everyone at the party that you have accepted the proposal to become Queen of Khanduras with the King of Khanduras, and not the Prince as you first thought. You are about to marry the father of your love, and not your love. The old King of Khanduras doesn’t know you, nor do you know him, but he is just thrilled and honored to have you as his wife. What do you do in that moment? Accept it? Refuse the proposal?
-Accept. If you refuse, you would embarrass the King of Khanduras in front of everyone and the peace between your Kingdoms would be lost. It’s a political trap. Anyway, you don’t know the King, you might very well enjoy your time by his side and as a family with the Prince. And he’s old, he’ll die soon enough (10-20 years more).

You’re lost and traveling down a road in the middle of basically no-where. You have no maps, signs, compasses or any items to help you find your way. You’re trying to get to a town called Truthville; where everyone there always tells the truth. You come to a fork in the road and a man is standing middle of the fork. You know one way leads to Truthville and one leads to Liarville, where everyone lies, but you’re not sure. So you decide to ask the man how to get to Truthville. You don’t know whether he is from Truthville or Liarville. What is the one question that you can ask this man no matter where he is from, to make him tell you where Truthville is?
You are trapped in the Arcane Sanctuary. There are only two doors out of the room you are in, each guarded by a gargoyle. One of the gargoyles always speaks the truth, while the other gargoyle always lies. You can only ask one gargoyle one question in order to figure out which door leads to you to safety. What is the question you ask?
What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?
-silence
How do you kill that which has no life?
What can be fed but cannot drink?
-Fire (feed the fire)
One morning the Que-Hegan is leaving on a trip and finds he left his gold in his stash. He runs back to get it and the Night Watchman stops him and says, "Que-Hegan, don't get on the wagon. I had a dream last night that the wagon would be ambushed by demons with spears and everyone would die!" The Que-Hegan takes the Night Watchman's word and cancels his trip. Sure enough, the wagon is overrun by demons with spears and everyone dies. The next morning the Que-Hegan gives the watchman a 1,000 gold reward for saving his life and then orders for his execution. Why did he execute the watchman that saved his life?
- Sleeping when he should have been on watch.
Pretend you are buried alive in a crypt. The entrance has been sealed, and there is no other way out. You are losing air fast. How do you get out?
-You stop pretending.

When I am young, I go on four legs, then I go on two legs, then I go on three legs, and then I die.
-man
Close to the words of life stay I, But I wither, wane, and grow dry.
-A Bible pressed leaf, or flower.
I do not breathe, but I run and jump.
I do not eat, but I swim and stretch.
I do not drink, but I sleep and stand.
I do not think, but I grow and play.
I do not see, but you see me every day.
-a leg
Always wax, yet always wane: I melt, succumbéd to the flame.
Lighting darkness, with fate unblest, I soon devolve to shapeless mess.
-candle
With potent, flowery words speak I,
Of something common, vulgar, dry;
I weave webs of pedantic prose,
In effort to befuddle those,
Who think I wile time away,
In lofty things, above all day
The common kind that linger where
Monadic beings live and fare;
Practical I may not be,
But life, it seems, is full of me!
-A riddler, or riddle.
To you, rude would I never be,
Though I flag my tongue for all to see.
-a dog
I welcome the day with a show of light,
I steathily came here in the night.
I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn,
But by the noon, alas! I'm gone.
-The morning dew.
Here there is no north, west, nor east,
And weather fit for not man nor beast.
-The North Pole.
Large as a mountain, small as a pea,
Endlessly swimming in a waterless sea.

Lighter than what I am made of, more of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, a tooth within the sea. Speak my name.
-Ice
A spirited jig it dances bright, banishing all but darkest night. Give it food and it will live; give it water and it will die.
-Fire
The man who invented it, doesn't want it for himself. The man who bought it, doesn't need it for himself. The man who needs it, doesn't know it when he needs it.
-A Coffin
The life I lead is mere hours or less, I serve all my time by being consumed. I am quickest when thin, slowest when fat, and wind is the bane of the gift that I bring.
-A Candle
The more that there is, the less that you see. Squint all you wish when surrounded by me.
-Darkness
They come to witness the night without being called, a sailor's guide and a poet's tears. They are lost to sight each day without the hand of a thief.
-Stars
They follow and lead, but only as you pass. Dress yourself in darkest black, and they are darker still. Always they flee the light, though without the sun there would be none.
-Shadows
I have holes throughout, from back to front and top to bottom to core. More nothing than something within, and yet I still hold water.
-A Sponge
I am free for the taking through all of your life, though given but once at birth. I am less than nothing in weight, but will fell the strongest of you if held.
-Breath
Alive as you but without breath, as cold in my life as in my death; never a thirst though I always drink, dressed in a mail but never a clink.
-Fish
Of all your possessions, I am the hardest to guard. If you have me, you will want to share me. If you share me, you no longer have me.
-A Secret
I can have no color, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing, and if placed in a container it becomes all the lighter.

At night I come without being fetched, at day I am gone without being stolen.

Two brothers we are, great burdens we bear, all day we are bitterly pressed; Yet this I will say - we are full all the day, and empty when we go to rest.
-Worn Out Boots
Here, in this place, you swallow me. Yet, I were more, I could swallow you.
-Jar of Water
I have seen the mountains rise. I have seen the fall of Zakarum. You shall die but still shall I march on
-Sundial (time)
To those within the labyrinth I am joy. To those under my stare, I can be Hell. What am I?

I will save your life but yet can you die by me. I will settle disputes yet not with words

Always do I tell the truth, yet cannot speak. Look to me and see what really is

I have two heads but one body. The more I stand still, the faster I run
-Hourglass
Try to defeat me but try in vain. When I win I end your pain
-Grinning Skull
It is better than the best of things and worse than the worst of things. You love it more than life. You fear it more than death. The rich have need of it and the poor have it in endless supply
-nothing
T'was in the wood that I got it, so I sat me down to seek it. I could not find it no matter how hard I worked and so I took it home with me. What is it?
-splinter
Always am I running yet never do I walk, I have a mouth yet never do I talk. Have a bed do I but never do I sleep, possess a head do I but never do I weep
-river
It runs as it will but never does it walk. There is a mouth to see but never does it talk. A bed it surely owns but never does it sleep, possesses a head but never does it weep
-river
I cause you to be frail at the worst of time, but in the end I hold you safe. You’ll perspire in my presence even as you grow cold, I linger with the weak seldom with the brave but without me who can tell the difference. What am I?
-fear
It brings back the lost as though never gone, shines laughter or tears, with light long since shone, a moment to take a lifetime to shed, valued then but lost when you’re dead.
