Fun with test questions

First, we can introduce ourselves, which means we can now say virtually all of Groot’s lines from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” so I made up a question involving that.
Second, we are learning numbers, so I invented Señor Juan Upmanship. He can always do one better than you. So if you have a problem, he has two problems. If 22 people came to your party, 23 came to his. But here’s my favorite question from that set:
You say “There are seven words in my sentence.” Sr. Upmanship says “And there are __________ words in my sentence.”
Finally, because the word for so-so is “regular,” I couldn’t help adding this question, though I am labeling it as a bad question that should not be used:
You are suffering from diarrhea. A friend asks, "How are you?" What is the most true response?
a. Muy bien, gracias. (Very well, thank-you.)
b. Regular. (So-so.)
