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?
