Still, questions like "Does the sun rise in the morning or evening?" or 
"Is the sky usually blue or red?" should be answerable by pretty much 
any human capable of understanding at least very basic things. I'm 
pretty sure that even if you have a severely reduced mental capacity, 
you can still answer these types of questions. And if you can't, you 
usually are in the wrong place anyway.
