Barry: It could cause issues for both people with learning/cognitive disabiltiies and people who are not fluent in English. Some questions may also assume cultural knowledge (e.g., an urban teen might have difficulty identifying which of a group of animals "doesn't belong on a farm").

I saw a conformation on one site that just asked the answer to a very simple
question.  I believe the question was something like, "What day comes
between Wednesday and Friday".

Would this be a suitable alternative or would it perhaps cause an issue for
people with learning difficulties or cognitive disabilities?
