On the morning TV show, Live With Kelly and Mark, there is a daily segment called “Stump Mark,” where a home viewer is selected to call in and tell Mark Consuelos two statements – one true and one false. Then he has to guess which one is the truth. If he fails to guess correctly, the caller wins a special T-shirt and mug.
Usually the statements go something like this: “I once sat right next to Tom Hanks on a flight to Los Angeles,” or “My apple pie has won six blue ribbons at the annual county fair.”
Then after asking a few basic questions, Mark makes his guess about which statement is true.
Although his rate of success varies, one month his average for correct guesses was close to 70 percent, which was impressive.
Whenever I watch “Stump Mark,” I usually find myself wondering which statements I would make if I were the caller. So just for the fun of it, I’m going to list 20 statements below and have you, my readers, guess which are true and which are false. The answers will be listed at the end of this, right after you scroll down past the photos of the free books. Give yourself five points for each answer you get correct. Of course, those of you who have been reading my blog regularly for years, just might have an advantage! Good luck!
TRUE OR FALSE?
