As man is to woman, light is to _____ : Dark.

What goes up, must come ____ : Down

As iron sharpens iron, as does a man sharpen another ____ : man

Good suggestions, but they might be tricky for people who don't have English as a first language.

As man is to woman, light is to _____ : Dark.

Dark is absence of light.  I don't think woman is absence of man...

[mumblemumble]

As man is to woman, light is to _____ : Dark.

Dark is absence of light.  I don't think woman is absence of man...

I could argue light is also the absence of dark...but the point is they are opposites.

"How many eyes does the average person have?"

"Earth has how many moons?"

"How many days are there in a week?"

"What is the powerhouse of the cell?"

"What is two + two?"

Easy enough for ya folks?

You could argue that, but I don't really agree that light (EM radiation) and dark (lack thereof) are opposites.  Having 0 apples is not the opposite of having 8 apples, or at least it's not how I think of the word "opposite".  And if I had 8 apples I personally would never claim to have "the absence of no apples".

Whether men and women are "opposites" is also not really clear to me -- I think context is important for that one.

Those are some pretty tough questions Friend...

"How many eyes does the average person have?"
Does the third eye count?

"Earth has how many moons?"
This is widely debated in the astronomical community.

"How many days are there in a week?"
That depends which calendar system you use.

"What is the powerhouse of the cell?"
The cell in biology, or Cell from Dragonball Z?

"What is two + two?"
In what base number system?

Haha, and here I thought *I* was being annoyingly pedantic

[Thyme]

I had to reanswer half of the questions because I got them wrong (half of them cause I got February wrong - non native here x). Liked the questions tho.

Obviously one of the questions needs you to state the third law of thermal dynamics.

Thermodynamics rules! I suppose Tynan loves physicks.

Hmm... the questions from the wiki (http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page) seem to work...

Eg. What is the name of the explosive rat create in the game?

What is the name of the game this forum is about?

What is the name of the Buffalo-like creature in the game?

Although it does require some knowledge of the game.

And as I expand my walk-in freezer by a measly 20 tiles, the temperature fluctuates nearly 50 degrees C.

I know english but is not my native lenguaje so I cant undestand some questions, for native english speakers maybe easy but it gets difficult some times, hope they can solve this:C

[mrm]

English is not my native language and it was a pain in the ass to answer those questions, each time i had to google 2 out of 3 or even 3. I have no clue which is the last month of the year. Or second. And i think those answers are case sensitive, if i write Star"wars" instead of Star"Wars" it wont pass and i get 3 new questions... and again, and again...

But hey, its only few first posts, its not that bad

THE RESPONSE IS BRUSH

[bionerd]

This is why people do language independent questions such as "1 + 1 =  "

Its also insulting that someone must have "gone to a creationist school" not to get the first question...  Sorry, but I have painted multiple houses and have a bachelors, masters, and PhD, yet I didn't get the question.  What threw me was the "horsehair" part as never used a brush with horsehair. 

[Morak]

I'm open to replacement suggestions.

How about: "What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

[carbon]

Just some ideas:

"The human body is composed mostly of what common liquid?" (water)

"Most people have ____ growing on the top of their head?" (hair)

"If you are looking north, what direction is to your left?" (west)

"Box is to boxes, as Fox is to _____." (foxes)
