He's also quite likely to ignore the answer and point out that the question's wrong. Or tell you that the answer's not one of the four options.

I've always wondered how they'd stop this sort of thing. I mean, not Google, because the "I'll tell you in 15 seconds <tap> <tap> <tap> 1974" might give you away, but I don't see why you couldn't have your phone-a-friend in a room with twenty other people who all listen to the question on speaker-phone and scribble down the answer on a piece of paper and show the friend if they know the answer.

You'd get the answer, but you'd also get the entire historical and social background to the answer. How well this would work in a 30-second phone call I'm not too sure.

Or making you tell him how tall you are before he decides to help you.
