1) 4. Or, if you're Winston Smith after a bit of work, 5 (thanks to steelersrock01 for the
1984 reference).
2) Oh, there are a whole host of people. The first I can think of is that general leading the junta in Thailand right now. First thing he should do is strike off the
lèse majesté law that's been giving Thai politics the trouble that led to the nepotism.
3) Another host of people I can think of. Warren Buffett, what the heck.
4) Depends on whom you ask. (42, properly, is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. But the late Douglas Adams claims that there was no hidden meaning to the number.)
5) 34,969. (Guess the reference here.)
6) Typographer.
7) Put some in the bank that I can live with for the next forty years, invest some of it, and give the rest away.
8) Start writing things down with the intention of publishing it. People need to know the truth, and obviously there's no time to use expedient means like the Buddha.
9) My mother, by process of elimination. I don't have a significant other.
10) Mount Everest.
11) I'd like to say I am.
