I can't understand why people feel compelled to be honest when answering challenge questions. Just make your favorite pet Astro and your best friend Harvey the Pooka, and so forth.

The point in being honest is that you actually remember the answers three years later when you log into the site!

I started doing what you did, but then I had a mix of real & fake answers & I couldn't remember which site had which.

I've given up on challenge questions... they now all get the same answer.

I did that too. Then I ran into a site that wouldn't let me have the same answers.

You could do like my wife, who answered every question with "rabbit".

What was the first name of your childhood friend? rabbit
What street did you grow up on? rabbit
etc, etc

Not a horrible strategy - hard to guess even with pertinent background info. But for whatever reason, she couldn't consistently keep to it.
