3. How did you get caught? (Or not caught, as the case may be.) [University of Chicago]
4. Write a haiku, limerick, or short poem that best represents you. [New York University]
6. Are we alone? [Tufts University]
8. If any of these three inanimate objects could talk, how would your room, computer or car describe you? [Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley]
11. If you were reduced to living on a flat plane, what would be your greatest problems? Opportunities? [Hamilton College]
14. In the year 2050, a movie is being made of your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summarize the story line. [New York University]
