In her comment on this post, derf added a little aside about the new wibsite anti-spam questions: "And since when did I have to answer a philosophical question to post a comment - is a tree bigger than a cat indeed?! - surely that depends on the tree..... If you can read this I got the answer right!"
Can I just say I'm so relieved that it's not just me! The banana question (when I get it right that is - I did type "pink" once absent-mindedly) always makes me think "well it depends how ripe it is, it might be green, why isn't that an option?", whilst the tree and cat question always makes me think of a. little oaks just emerging from acorns, b. bonsai, and c. Kitten Kong from the Goodies. And I have to confess, I have even, once, thought to myself "well it depends what planet you're on" when it comes to the colour of the summer sky question.
I'm not clever enough to have thought of any philosophical objections to the maths questions though.
