Every Monday we ask our Brain Game contestants one interesting, thought-provoking or just plain quirky question. Their answers will be published anonymously in Young Post. Then readers can vote for their FAVOURITE answer. We will eliminate the contestant with the LEAST votes every week until we have a winner.

The ultimate Brain Game winner will receive Sony's digital music player NWZ-A15 and Sony's headphone MDR-1A, worth HK$3,860.

The Contestants

Contestant 1

Nick Vujicic! You don't recognise the name? He's the famous speaker who was born with no limbs, yet still takes a positive attitude towards life. I would like to know more about his unique and colourful life, to hear how he overcame his obstacles, to learn how to solve problems by myself ... Lots and lots. I'm sure our conversation would last forever, but would be especially fruitful and awesome!

Contestant 2

Nicki Minaj, of course. I'd let her know how beautiful she can actually be without all the plastic surgery. Do women really need to have cosmetic surgery to gain attention from men? You can be happy without such artificial enhancements. We need to embrace differences, instead of erasing them. This is what I would tell Nicki - love yourself, and only then will you truly be radiant.

Contestant 3

Undoubtedly, I would die to dine with the one and only Cleopatra VII. I want to see first-hand the legendary queen of Egypt who is still remembered for her charismatic and persuasive personality. Over dinner, I would like to untangle the mystery of her death, which after 2,000 years, has still kept the entire world guessing. Maybe, even receive advice on world domination ... just kidding!

Contestant 4

I would choose Natalie Portman. She's a great role model for adolescents, having graduated from Harvard while also being a successful actress. She has taken on a wide variety of roles, ranging from comedies to thrillers, so her preparation would be a good conversation starter. After covering important topics relating to her Jewish background, I'd then shamelessly grill her into spilling the perks of working with Hollywood heartthrobs such as Chris Hemsworth. :)

Contestant 5

There's only one man out there who can swim through land, count to infinity and kill two stones with one bird. His name is Chuck Norris, famous martial artist and actor. Being the epitome of awesomeness, I would probably spend the whole dinner learning how to start a fire with two ice cubes. But that would be impossible, because I can't possibly find Chuck Norris; Chuck Norris finds you.

Contestant 6

If I could have the meal of my life, it would have to be with Tom Hiddleston. Why? He's amazingly talented, gorgeous and funny. What's not to like? We would discuss the movies that he's been in and discuss Avengers 2, although I'd probably lose control and just be a crying, screaming fan-girling mess who can't even begin to fathom that they're breathing the same air as Tom Hiddles.

Contestant 7

It would definitely be Ryan Gosling or Jennifer Lawrence. Not only are they hilarious, they also share unique talents that will keep me entertained. It would be super-easy for us all to go out to dinner (with Gosling) and on a super-fun shopping spree (with Lawrence). I would also love to know about their experiences on their blockbuster films and hopefully even get to take a few pictures!
