Ted's Comments

Perhaps people tend to lose the individuality of their looks as they age. Also, doesn't Hollywood search for people who have a certain look? I would also guess that they like to stick to the formula - if one movie works, copy it to death. If one set of looks works, find a lookalike.

Got the magnifying glass one wrong. I think if the correct answer extended the lines a little further, I would have remembered it correctly.
Nitpick: One of the questions was about a pseudoscience.

Semantics. You "reach a milestone".
As they are much larger than kidney stones, it would be infinitely more uncomfortable for the Queen to "pass a milestone." I doubt she'd survive.

She has a blog, and has written a few books about her experience. She brags about not having cell phones, but apparently a computer is necessary.
I imagine that the experiment will slowly wind down if they decide to have children. Looking at her blog, she apparently gets really freaked out by people who want to touch her, lift up her dress, etc...

I can understand the confusion. Yes, Russian schools, or "kindergulags," are essentially maximum security prisons.
To answer your questions:
One: They had to dig a tunnel to get under a fence. A fence is a barrier designed to keep children inside, and to keep others outside, of the compound. This helps to prevent loved ones from smuggling contraband, like weapons and drugs, into the kindergulag.

Two: The article implies that the work of digging under the fence was done during the five days previous to the escape. Presumably, they were chained to their beds at night. It would be unreasonable to assume that they were picked up by their parents and taken home at night; otherwise, why on earth would they want to escape school during the daytime?

Three:
The children are indeed 5. The misleading picture in the article is from a detailed re-enactment of the events (from the made-for-tv movie). Hollywood is notorious for casting older actors in young roles.

Already? I thought she had a couple more years to go before she hit this milestone.

Also, that's not so much an "I win" picture as a "Good, Good, let the hate flow..." picture.

Had to google bb-8. I guess I'm not completely up on the new movie yet.
As soon as I saw it in the first trailer, I wondered if it was going to be the next Jar-Jar.

Loved the comment at the end.

No, not everyone owns a phone. I assume this author does, and is simply poking fun at the insecurity of people who can't bear to put down their phones for any reason, often putting the need for social media validation ahead of their personal lives, their jobs, and their safety.
I can see your point, though; it is terribly selfish of someone to ask for your full attention when they're not as entertaining as your Candy-blasting Saga Heroes game or the whimsical status update of Facebook friend #2026.
