If dating game show questions were more intellectually stimulating

First question goes to Bachelor #1: If I were an ice cream cone, how would you explain the rise of and crisis surrounding ISIS without resorting to racism or overgeneralizations?

Bachelor #3, you’re up: It’s the night of our one-year anniversary and you forgot to make reservations for dinner.

Back to Bachelor #3: Say you’ve just won a million dollars. Is Plato’s Allegory of the Cave meant to embody the potential consequences of mankind’s ignorance or can it be dismissed as an anti-pragmatist’s wet dream?

Bachelor #2 again: It’s your first time meeting my parents. How would you unbiasedly discuss the principles of the black hole information paradox?

And we’ll end where we started, with Bachelor #1: Do you think it’s acceptable to kiss on the first date, and how can proportional representation in Canadian politics help to provide fair and accurate governance of the population?
