Hint Question Suggestions
Here are a few examples of good hint questions:
- What is my mother’s maiden name?
- What was the name of my first pet?
- What was my high school mascot?
- What the make and model of my first car?
- What color was my first car?
Here are a few examples of bad hint questions:
- What is my PIN?
- What color shirt am I wearing?
- What is my anniversary/birthday/other dates? (This is a bad hint question since there are many different ways to enter a date. Example: February 24, 1980 may be written 02/24/1980, 02/04/80, 2/4/80, 04-FEB-1980, 04 FEB 1980, etc. Recalling exactly how you entered a date might be difficult months after you have created your question.)
- Who do I love?
