Yeah, I think the extra options were there for a couple of reasons. Some people will simply guess and that gives a 33% chance of randomly being correct. By having a couple of extra options they can reduce that by giving people options that they may feel are correct. This also helps find additional flaws in reasoning that would be missed if only options 1, 2, or 3 were available.
I also arrived at the correct answer, but I got there by assessing the truth of the statements first without guessing where the cat was. Then I doubled back and checked it by assuming the cat's location first just in case my logic was faulty. A fun exercise, but I am still a little surprised that just 36% of people got it. I would have guessed at least 50% would have figured it out.
At 20,000 feet and generating a contrail, it's not stealthy at all. On top of that, since it was on Instagram there's not much point in forcing it to be taken down. Clearly that didn't stop it from popping up here. Besides, you just know real spies take much better photos and send them back home instead of posting them online.
Not to mention that there are plenty of ways to ruin people's fun in a game without ever calling anyone nasty names. Some players are also straight up going to be better than everyone else in a game and people will accuse them of cheating. How much you want to bet some players will falsely be reported for imagined infractions and after $X complaints your account is flagged as "toxic."
Plus, how long are you flagged as toxic? What if your behavior improves? Will you be let out of "toxic player" jail? What if putting toxic players with other toxic players just makes everyone angrier and more toxic?
You can be sued for anything. Whether you can win in court is a bit of a gamble. However, there are certain creativity rights to sounds and sound samples. Clearly the cow owner would have no rights to the song itself, but the claim to own the sounds of his cows would be up to the court to decide.
My guess is that the cow owner would have no ownership at all since he had no creative input to the sounds, nor did he induce the sounds from the cows. There's still a slim chance a judge will award him something, but even if that happens I suspect it won't survive an appeal.
Hard to say what causes us to develop certain preferences, but perhaps that was the best option available at the time. I've heard of parents forcing their kids to eat certain things. Some going so far as to put the meal back in the fridge and refusing to give the kid anything else to eat until they finished off the previous mail. That kind of tactic doesn't just cause the kid to go hungry, it makes the kid despise the food in question.
Geez. When these sorts of things came up while I was in school, nobody had anything close to these crazy stories. I guess students at my school were either smart enough to pick something safe, or boring.
