claimed to own all of the following. Note, the claim below applies to me and
it’s all true. I’ll reveal the context (with photos for proof) later.
I own…
1 Audi Automobile
3 Batmobiles
1 BMW Automobile
1 Bugatti Automobile
1 Buick Automobile
3 Chevrolet Automobiles (two of which are Corvettes)
2 Dodge Automobiles
2 Ferrari Automobiles
2 Ford Automobiles
3 Lamborghini Automobiles
1 Lotus Automobile
1 McLaren Automobile
1 Mercedez Benz Automobile
1 Mercury Automobile
1 Tucker Automobile
I also own…
1 Airbus A330
1 Airbus A350
1 Boeing 737
3 Boeing 747s (one of which is Air Force One)
1 Boeing 757
1 Boeing 767
1 Boeing 777
Which of these “context” options would be your first guess? What would be the
first thing that comes to mind? What would you assume?

Obviously D (pics of such would be nice) Though "only one is true
when applied to me" Really? I'd wager that E holds true too

The context options are…
A: He is a multi-billionaire who owns a huge garage full of cars and a small
fleet of aircraft.
B: He ran an investment (Ponzi scheme) and derived his fortune by ripping off
investors.
C: He ripped off taxpayers by fraudulently getting a PPP loan from the government
and spending the money on himself instead of paying his employees.
D: He is an eclectic collector of diecast cars and desktop aircraft.
E: He's an imaginative dreamer.
