Test Huddle Birthday 2: True or False Thread

[Ronan Healy]

As we are marking the birthday of TEST Huddle..again, we thought we would bring back the True or False Thread. Like last year, we are celebrating by giving you the present.

The rules are simple:.
State one, two or three statements about yourself below. It can be true or false. We will pick out our favourites and the winners will receive an Amazon Voucher. We may even have multiple winners depending on entries.

Obviously the crazier the statement the better and if it’s the truth, well that might be even better!

If you would like to guess if others statements are true or not, please do too.

[Ronan Healy]

I’ll kick it off.

I once turned up at the airport for a weekend break on the wrong Friday and missed my holiday!

[Kerli]

So that Ronan wouldn’t feel too lonely here 🙂 – these are my 3 statements:
1. When I was in 7th grade I had to stay in detention for a week as a punishment for refusing to represent the school in the regional mathematics olympiad.
2. During an island hopping trip in the Philippines, I survived sailing through a typhoon.
3. I’ve been strip-searched by a male officer (I’m female, so isn’t this illegal?) during a street rave festival, because they suspected that I was a drug dealer. Which I obviously wasn’t.

Hi @kerli125,

I’m going to have a go at distinguishing the truth from the lies in your comments.

1. When I was in 7th grade I had to stay in detention for a week as a punishment for refusing to represent the school in the regional mathematics olympiad. – TRUE
2. During an island hopping trip in the Philippines, I survived sailing through a typhoon. – FALSE
3. I’ve been strip-searched by a male officer (I’m female, so isn’t this illegal?) during a street rave festival, because they suspected that I was a drug dealer. Which I obviously wasn’t. – TRUE

How did I do?

Here’s my three:
1. I prefer cats to dogs
2. I grew up in Sweden
3. My favourite sport is Rugby.

[Magnus]

Daragh, I’m guessing:
1. I prefer cats to dogs True
2. I grew up in Sweden False
3. My favourite sport is Rugby. True

My 3 statements:
1. I have participated in a Guiness world record try towards most people trying whiskey at the same time
2. I have a magnificent collection of various victorian garments.
3. I love honey, even though I am allergic to it. Sometimes I eat it just because it’s so good and accept the consequences.

[Lorraine]

Happy Birthday Test Huddle 😀

Here are my statements!

1. I love gardening & would happily spend full weekends pottering around
2. I have a totally irrational fear of the dentist
3. I love camping holidays, nothing like the great outdoors

[Daragh]

Close @mange-pettersson 😆

It’s False, False, True

Can anyone figure out @lorraine-banks answers?

[Magnus]

@lorraine-banks
I’m guessing: True, True, False

[Lorraine]

Good guessing Magnus!

[Emma]

I’ll kick things off again,

Here are my statements:

1. I did Ballet for 17 years
2. I came first place in a painting competition
3. I love weight-lifting and going to the gym

[Kerli]

As a reply to @daraghm regarding his guesses – you are 100% incorrect. 🙂

So the correct answers are:
1. false
2. true
3. false

My wild guess for @emmaconnor
1. false
2. false
3. true

[Dan]

OK, @mange-pettersson I will guess True, False, False

My three are:
1. I carried the Olympic torch
2. I sang on stage at Carnegie Hall
3. I have a collection of almost 250 books about Sherlock Holmes

[Magnus]

@danp Correct.

[Ronan Healy]

Mine was true by the way, I did miss my flight by a week.

@danp I’m guessing False, False True?

[Dan]

@ronan Sorry 0 for 3. 🙁
1. My wife and I were part of the U.S. relay for the 2002 Winter Games at Salt Lake City.
2. I was part of a multi-state choir that performed Mozart’s Requiem.
3. My collection is now over 750.

[Ronan Healy]

@danp That is impressive. What sport did you participate in?

[Dan]

No sport actually. Based on an essay I wrote about how my wife overcame a chronic illness to compete in triathlons, we were selected by the Olympic committee to be two of the torchbearers as the flame wound its way around the country on its way to Utah.
