Quiz: Five questions on p-adic analysis, commutative algebra, elliptic curves, algebraic geometry and category theory

(Warning:  personal stuff; no Cubik's Rube stuff; stupid quiz stuff; no math stuff)

I hate answering questions, having been through 100+ police interrogations (as an offender; I'm writing from jail; math jail, that is for that headline), but I suppose some quizzes are fun.  The Armed Geometer has posted up a quiz here.  I have to be a good sport and take the quiz.  The questions are in bold, with my answers following each question.

1)  You wake up to find that there is no-one else left on the planet but you. What's the first thing you do?

Same thing I do everyday. Sit down in front of my computer.

2) You are given one wish from a leprechaun. What do you go for?

 To be the last person on Earth.

3) What would you most like to do for a living?

To be a leprechaun.

4) How far would you go for $1,000,000,000?

Is this a trick question?  I'm a leprechaun.  I don't need the cash.

5) Out of the following, you have to shoot 1, shag 1, and marry 1. Which would you do what to?
George Bush, Hilary Clinton, Michael Jackson.

I'd use one of my leprechaun wishes to avoid the question.  If I have to answer it, shoot Michael Jackson, shag Hillary Clinton and marry George Bush.  Of course, I'd marry George in a state where gay marriage is illegal, thus invalidating the marriage and starting another police interrogation.

Here are my answers if I were in the movie Pulp Fiction.

1)  You wake up to find that there is no-one else left on the planet but you. What's the first thing you do?

Find a leprechaun that can grant wishes.

2) You are given one wish from a leprechaun. What do you go for?

 To be the last person on Earth.

3) What would you most like to do for a living?

Something where I could earn $1,000,000,000.

4) How far would you go for $1,000,000,000?

For a billion dollars, I'd shoot Michael Jackson, shag Hillary Clinton and marry George Bush.

5) Out of the following, you have to shoot 1, shag 1, and marry 1. Which would you do what to?
George Bush, Hilary Clinton, Michael Jackson.

Find all of my math books and work on math stuff.
