I'm bored so will put forward this one to see what happens:

2 cars of equal mass crash head on at 50 mph. Both drivers will feel
an impact equal to crashing into a solid object at:
a. 100 mph
b. 50 mph
c. Other

The correct answer is C and B

If both cars, and drivers were mirror images of each other and hit
perfectly head on, it will be B, but since it is highly unlikely they will
be perfectly matched, it will be C as the force will be slight unequal as
some parts will not collide etc. But it will be close to B.
