I picture them more like handing you a kaleidoscope,and hoping you'll smile. Then, by looking at the other answers, getting to see what the others see through their kaleidoscopes.
For some reason, you've passed any hypothetical examination in my book, long ago. That's curious, in a way, because for all the revelations of your journal, I don't feel I know you that well. I can't quite claim to grok the fullness of you, but somehow your forehead is marked with the enumeration of the saved.
Your polls are brilliant and always fascinating. I struggled over what to do with the 50 billion dollars and then decided to go with my first answer, mostly because I expected everyone would say health care and I'm not sure if that was me trying to be different, politically-incorrect or simply frightened of the next 9/11.
Thanks. I was surprised I could think of so few choices. I'm frightened of the next terrorist incident, too, and also frightened that so little, really, has been done to prepare for its aftermath.
In your place, I might take a sense of hope from a well-written personalized rejection slip, as in the long run it's one more clue that eventually you'll sell a novel.

It's a good thing you asked me only three questions...because I know only three things.

Do I strike you as a "fish out of water" type?
