Default 5 Question Quiz

A radio station in my area is running a 5 quesiton quiz...

They ask the same 5 questions until someone gets them all correct. They won't tell which are right and which are wrong...only how many right and wrong.

well...after a month...4 are correct...nobody can get the 5th.

I'm sure I've seen this in an e-mail. If anyone knows then answers, please help me out.
(I'll just give the questions...se if you can get the four that we know)

1> what is the second most used language on the internet?

2> 47 of these are sold or distributed every minute of every day

3> 78% of women say they have made a decission based on this

4> people say this is the most essential thing in a hotel room

5> he said "sometimes we all must share a little pain"

Nah! I reckon far more than 47 of those are sold every minute. It's probably something like cat tooth brushes or snortable aspirin? Am I close??

Damn! Actually I think nozzmoking may have been closer. Is there anyone that can actually think of a set of sensible answers for this? I'm amazed that someone has got 4/5 of these right!

What were your answers esiegel?

I'm curious too! The questions are most interesting. Although esiegel did say that they aren't telling which 1 of the 5 is wrong.

We know which 4 are "known" because this has been going on for over a month. And everyone has narrowed it down. (they add money to the prize everyday...so it's getting up there)

I'll tell you that the hotel room question is the one we are stuck on...so if you want to try to guess the others...I'll tell you if you get them.

1) Is it referring to a programming language or a spoken language?

If programming, I'd say ASP.

Spoken, I'd say Spanish.

2) Generic Viagra pills. :)

Seriously, I'd have to go with some sort of Aspirin or Tylenol thing (like a T-3/codeine or something.)

3) Being that it's ladytypes, I'm going to say "emotional factors".

4) A view. Nothing worse than a hotel room with no window or a view of a back alley (yes, I've stayed in one. :( )

5) That sounds Napoleonic or perhaps Leninian.

Those are my guesses.

That 1st question definitely has 2 meanings.

Foreign language or programming language?

Or is it just me?
