Or one from my past which I always forget the real reason for the correct answer.

"Which wing section is more prone to Icing a thick section or a thin section?"

MJ's Answer with fingers crossed "a thin section is more prone to icing"

"why is that?"

MJ's answer "I don't have a clue to be honest I just know DC3's don't have any de-icing boots on the wing and they have big thick sections and they have flown all over the world without dropping out the sky due to icing"

"well thats the most orginal answer we have had to that question, and can't fault your logic. Tell me what you know about type IV de-ice fluid?"
