  1. Only 4. Note on the one about slurping noodles in Japan. I’ve heard a lot about this. One I heard recently is that it’s bad luck to cut the noodles because the noodles represent long life, and if you cut the noodles, you’re symbolically cutting your life short, so you have to slurp the whole noodle. Slurping is also a good way to cool it down as it goes in. About the long life thing, though, don’t take that as gospel. People say some pretty odd things here sometimes.

  2. The second question is stupid! I answered to use the left hand with the right-hand fork (I knew there was no such thing as a right-hand fork). If there is no such thing as a left handed fork, then why is it that I have to eat it with the right hand if I’m left handed?

  3. 9 of 11. I remember seeing almost all of these (with the exception of the trick questions) in a magazine I had as a kid and read repeatedly.
