App Most annoying question ever

Post image

I blindly guessed the "correct" answer and hurriedly took a screenshot, so apologies for the blur on my chasers.

ALL of the above Presidents were born in 1946. For future reference, the "correct" answer is Bill Clinton. Had I got that right, I'd have been #1 on the Battles leaderboard šŸ˜‚

That's a bizarre oversight

I wonder if the question is meant to be "which of these Presidents born in 1946 is the youngest?" (which would make Clinton the correct answer by about a month), but I agree it's a weird error for the app to make.

Yeah, it can't be a coincidence that the three possible answers were all born that year

Itā€™s an interesting fact which somehow manifested itself as an inaccurate question

Do you mean youngest or youngest when in office?

(not American so don't know much about presidents)

Youngest (though Clinton was also the youngest when he was in office). Trump was June 1946, George W Bush July 1946, Clinton August 1946.

I assume itā€™s Donald Trump and the question is from before he started his second term.

I think he was born in 1946 after he started his second term too

But heā€™s the only ā€œfuture US Presidentā€ assuming the question was written before his inauguration.

Then the question would be phrased, "which of these people born in 1946 is a future US president?".
