LOL, this "real life" engineer got caught out just the once

for a score of 9. OK, well, twice possibly, but I went back and corrected my first answer after realising from the wording of the 4th question that the answers required careful study of the questions to find what was really being asked!!!

And the one that got me

- I was too much of an engineer and not being properly suspicious - I wanted to light the candle first because it was easier to light the others from it, then extinguish the candle to economise so it could be re-lit after the ...... awww crap, what was I thinking (sulks).

here's one:

If a plane crashes EXACTLY and I mean EXACTY!!!! on the border between two countries: Spain and Portugal where do they bury the survivors??? In SPAIN or PORTUGAL???

A tractor has to harvest crops in a equilateral triangle! It takes 2 hours to do one side, another 2 hours to do the 2nd, but takes 120min to do the third!
Same speed, no slopes, why?
