Discussion Questions:
- Did you like the book? Why or why not?
- Have you see the web-comic (https://what-if.xkcd.com/) before? If so, did that make you more/less excited to read the book? How is the web-comic the same or different from the book?
- Remember the teachers who told you over the years that there was no such thing as a stupid questions? Do you think Randall Munroe would agree? Support your answer with evidence from the book.

- Guys: what was your favorite question in the book? What did you like about it?
- Girls: What was your favorite question in the book? What did you like about it?
- This book combines humor with philosophical musings and serious science. Did you enjoy the humor? Did the humor help interest you in the "serious" part of the answers?
- Did you learn anything new from this book? What was it?
- Did you find any errors in the science in this book? (hint: there are a few!)
- Do you have a question for Randall Munroe to answer? What would you like to know?
