There are lots of strange trick questions, some of which depend on knowing 
technical definitions, some which depend on simply answering the question 
that was asked rather than what it sounds like.

What color was George Washington's white horse?  Grey.
(Technically, it's not a white horse unless it's albino, according to breeders.)

Where is Grant buried?  Not in Grant's Tomb.
(Grant is entombed there.)

Who was born on Washington's Birthday?  Not Washington.
(The calendar changed between his birth and his death.)
