The following question was presented:
Another guessing game question. Karen and I were talking about losing weight. Long story, but she was trying to figure out how heavy 20lb was in relation to bags of sugar and asked how heavy a bag of sugar was offering suggestions of 1lb or 5lb. I replied, it depends on whether you bought 1lb or 5lb bags of sugar. Anyway, intrigued by this sugar thing I went and looked at the bag of sugar we had. How heavy do you think our bag of sugar is?

Analysis:
2lb gets the majority of the votes, but you'd be wrong. The correct answer is 4lb which I thought seemed like an odd number. I would have maybe expected 1, 2 or 5 ... but I'd have been wrong.
