Top 5 Quora Questions of 2017: What Makes Them Memorable?

Quora, as a hub for diverse and often humorous questions, has captured the attention of millions with its collection of innovative and sarcastic queries over the years. Among the memorable questions from 2017, we dive into five of the most amusing ones that continue to bring laughter even today.

A Polite Yet Sarcastic Request for Sex at Work

One of the most noted questions from 2017 was a humorous take on a common yet cliché scenario. The question reads:

May I have sex during work with a nice girl I don’t know? I just thought it was funny.

This question is a blend of politeness and cheekiness. The way it is phrased left many users in quite a fit of laughter, as seen in the response pattern where users found it both humorous and amusing.

From Primary School to IIT-JEE Trauma

India’s educational system, particularly the competition for institutes like IIT, has always been a point of stress and ridicule. One person humorously asked, expressing the immense pressure:

I am currently in my dad’s scrotum. What are the chances of clearing IIT-JEE if I start preparing from now?

The sarcasm behind this question highlights the immense amount of time and effort that Indian students invest in achieving this goal. The transformation from kindergarten to such a challenging examination can be overwhelming, making this question resonate with many.

A School Admin's Role in Stress Mechanics?

One of the most intriguing questions cycled through topics under “stress mechanics” simply because no one would have expected such a connection. The question was:

What does the headmaster and the principal have to do with stress in mechanics?

This query, while absurd, is a testament to the vast range of questions Quora users can ask. It showcases the platform’s unique ability to spark curiosity while also highlighting the unexpected and quirky side of knowledge sharing.

Zeroing In on a Question with Multiple Solutions

One of the best bits about Quora is the level of interaction it fosters between users. A question that stood out was:

51-6 (a number)

The answer to this question was as perplexing as the query itself. A kind-hearted user posted pictures demonstrating how calculators of various kinds—including smartphones and computers—showed the answer as zero. This outrageous claim added to the humor and puzzled many. Despite the question not being overly complex, the abundance of pictures and creative solutions made it a standout.
