Well, Guru doesn't and we need your help! See if you can answer these amazingly difficult questions and win yourself the joy of being right!

CRIME

We think you could barter your way through Thailand with this

Why should you have been cautious if you were living in the same apartment building as Surasak Bunthienthong in Pathum Thani?

A)Because his flat constantly reeked of nam plaa and it seeped into the whole building.

B)Because he brought a different girl back to his room every night.

C)Because he liked to drill holes to spy into other people's apartments.

D)Because he was raising six tigers on the building's rooftop. Police arrested 28-year-old Bunthienthong last week after a tip led them to find four adult tigers and two cubs kept in a rusty enclosure on top of the apartment. An investigation revealed that the building is a transit spot for tiger trading in Thailand, and Bunthienthong has been charged with illegal possession of protected wild animals. At least we know the apartment has a pet-friendly policy?!

FILM

What is the funniest Hollywood movie ever made?

A)Twilight. The way tweens obsess over vampires and werewolves is hilarious (and depressing).

B)Spaceballs. Hahaha... balls.

C)The Dark Knight Rises. Bane's voice was ridiculously over-the-top.

D)Airplane! Well, that's if you agree with research conducted by movie subscription service Lovefilm, which found that the 1980 satirical comedy produced an average of three laughs per minute. Following this is The Hangover (2.4 laughs/minute), The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (2.3 laughs/minute), Superbad (1.9 laughs/minute), and Borat (1.7 laughs/minute).

TRAVEL

American actor and comedian Josh Sankey is currently on a cross-country road trip, which started in New York City and is expected to culminate in Los Angeles on Sep 23. The catch is that Sankey is making his way across America with no money or credit cards. How is he doing it?

A)By offering sexual favours.

B)By relying on the kindness of strangers.

C)By using voodoo tricks.

D)By banking on America's love of bacon. Called "The Great American Bacon Barter", Sankey is driving through the country with a trailer filled with 3,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer's new Butcher Thick Cut Bacon. Along with being a promotional campaign for the product, Sankey's challenge is to use bacon to negotiate with people for food, lodging, and everything else he needs. So far Sankey has been successful in swapping bacon to score numerous things including Civil War artifacts, a first-aid kit, and taxi rides.
