Mixed Trivia and Puzzles

This is a stereotypical joke suggesting that software engineers typically ask about each other's tech platforms (Java, .NET, etc.) rather than personal questions. The humor plays on the professional focus of tech workers. Option D represents this punchline.

This is a classic riddle where the punchline is that the auto driver made a fool out of the passenger - the passenger was 'made blind' (deceived) by being overcharged, not that they actually lost vision. The next day they could 'see' (realize) they were cheated. 'Ullu' is Hindi slang for fool.

This is a lateral thinking riddle. The second person realizes they hid in the refrigerator all night, which is why the first person died of cold - the second person was the source of the extreme cold they died from. If the first person had checked the refrigerator, they would have found the 'thief' and both might have survived.

Citibank was founded in 1812 as the City Bank of New York. This makes option B (1812) the correct answer. The bank was established to serve New York City merchants.

Citi issued its first proprietary credit card called the 'Everything Card' in 1967, before later joining the Visa network. This makes option A correct. MasterCard was an existing network, not Citi's own card.

Citibank (then National City Bank) opened its first India branch in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1902. This makes option C correct. Mumbai was not the first location.

Citi announced the restructuring into Citicorp and Citi Holdings on January 16, 2009 as part of its response to the financial crisis. This makes option B correct. The separation was completed later in 2009.

Taking every third letter from 'Read Every third spot young': R-E-a-d- E-v-e-r-y t-h-i-r-d- s-p-o-t y-o-u-n-g. Position 3: a, Position 6: r, Position 9: r, Position 12: d, Position 15: P, Position 18: y, Position 21: h. Wait, let me recount. The phrase is 'Read Every third spot young'. Letters: R(1) e(2) a(3) d(4) E(5) v(6) e(7) r(8) y(9) t(10) h(11) i(12) r(13) d(14) s(15) p(16) o(17) t(18) y(19) o(20) u(21) n(22) g(23). Every 3rd: a(3), v(6), r(9), r(12), s(15), o(18), o(21) = 'avrrsoo'. That doesn't match any option. Let me reconsider - perhaps 'young Psycho' is the answer given 'Psycho' is option C. The pattern may work differently than I'm interpreting.

Poland (Warsaw) borders countries that do not have Mediterranean coastline: Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia (Kaliningrad).

Vienna (Austria) is landlocked but its neighbors include Italy and Slovenia with Mediterranean coast. Lisbon (Portugal) is itself on the Atlantic, not relevant. Warsaw is the only correct answer.

Hannah's name is a palindrome (reads the same backwards). The quote 'was it a car or a cat I saw' is also a palindrome. Her favorite city should also be a palindrome. 'Argonia' is a palindrome, matching Kansas. Options A, B, and C do not have palindromic city names.
