In a world of fake news and alternative facts, sometimes your ability to convincingly bullsh*t your way through life is more valuable than actual knowledge. Are you a master of making things up on the spot, or are you painfully honest to a fault? Take this quiz to find out how well you can bluff your way through sticky situations!

• Your friend introduces you to someone who seems to know all about a band you've never heard of. What do you do?

  Admit you have no idea who they're talking about and ask for recommendations 🤷‍♂️

  Nod along and stick to vague comments like "Their sound is really unique" 🎵

  Mention you've "heard good things" but haven't "deep dived into their catalog yet" 🎧

  Launch into a detailed opinion about their "experimental phase" and how their "earlier stuff was more authentic" 🔥

• You're running late to work. What's your go-to excuse?

  "Sorry I'm late, I overslept." 😴

  "BART delays again! Can you believe it?" 🚇

  "Sorry, had an emergency call with a client in another time zone." 📱

  "You won't believe this—my neighbor's emotional support peacock escaped and I had to help catch it before it reached the highway!" 🦚

• Your date asks about your salary. How do you respond?

  Tell them the exact figure down to the last dollar 💰

  Round up to the nearest $10K and include your "expected bonus" 💵

  "I'm in tech, so... you know." *knowing smile* 💻

  "I'm actually leading a stealth startup that's about to revolutionize the [insert random industry]. Can't say much, but we're closing our Series A next month." 🚀

• Your boss asks for your opinion on their terrible new initiative. What's your response?

  "I think it needs serious reconsideration and here's why..." proceeding to list all the flaws 📊

  "It's interesting, but I have some concerns about implementation." Then gently suggest tweaks 📝

  "I love the vision! I'm just wondering about the timeline—maybe we could phase it in?" 🗓️

  "This is revolutionary! I was just reading about how [completely unrelated company] implemented something similar and increased their profits by 300%!" 📈

• You're at a networking event and someone asks you about cryptocurrency. Your knowledge is limited to "Bitcoin exists." What do you say?

  "Honestly, I don't really understand it beyond the basics. Do you invest?" 🤔

  "I'm watching the market but staying cautious for now. What's your take?" 📱

  "The volatility is fascinating, but I'm more interested in the underlying blockchain technology." 🔗

  "Actually, I mined some Ethereum back in 2016. Sold most of it to fund my sabbatical in Bali, but I'm bullish on some interesting altcoins now." 💸

• Someone catches you in a lie. What's your strategy?

  Immediately come clean and apologize profusely 😥

  Admit you "may have misspoken" or "mixed up the details" 😬

  Reframe what you said: "What I meant was..." and subtly shift to a more defensible position 🔄

  Double down with even more elaborate details while redirecting to something they can't verify 🌪️
