Are you an accurate lie detector?

Half a truth is often a great lie ~ Benjamin Franklin

I love fun challenges from fun Steemians!


... but this was harder than I thought it would be! When @insideoutlet nominated me for this challenge, I thought it would be a lot of fun, and relatively easy to toss a few truths and one lie into a post. After writing two interesting facts pretty quickly, I stopped for 15 minutes and began staring at the ceiling. I kept scratching my head, wondering how I was going to fill up 8 more interesting facts about myself for this challenge! hahahaha

I did come up with them after a while - but it was like giving birth to barbed wired! hehehe Very painful and extra slow.

So... hopefully the people I nominate will have SUPER exciting lives and breeze through this, while giving us an entertaining post to read!



Here are my 10 truths and 1 lie. hehehehe I'm very curious to see what everyone thinks is the lie about me.


  1. I can listen and respond to 3 conversations at once.
  2. I turned down a Hollywood actor who asked to date me.
  3. I found a needle in a haystack.
  4. I won $25,000 in a contest sponsored by VISA
  5. I sang as a back up singer in the Rock the Mic tour.
  6. I lost my bathing suit top going down a 100 ft. waterslide
  7. I went to school to be psychiatrist.
  8. I sang in front of 1500 people dressed as Gloria Estefan.
  9. I was a cheerleader for the LA Lakers for 2 years.
  10. I passed out on laughing gas in the dentist chair.
  11. I started learning Russian so my son could go to Mars.


so.... which is the lie? If you guess it first - you'll get half of the SBD from this post (but at least 1 SBD.. just in case this is a big bust of a post hehehe)


and since i like games and i like others who like games.... i'll nominate people who i think will make me laugh doing this!!!

@negativer, @praada, @andysantics48, @kiwideb, @crazybgadventure, @swolesome, @doctorcrypto hehehehe - please tag me in the post if/when you do it... i don't want to miss it ;)

This is a fun one.

I’m guessing that you can’t listen and respond to three conversations at once.

Dichotic listening is hard af.

(At least for me).

good guess!!! i'm about to reveal the truth - right now! hehehehe

I am going to have to say that you have never found a needle in a haystack. #3

good guess! but is it right??? hmmmm ill reveal at the end of the week :)

I'm gona say number 1 - mind you, you didn't say you could respond to 3 conversation rationally did you lol - my brain would be fried :D

Oh and thanks for the nomination - but I'm the most boring person out - I'm going to struggle I feel lol

i totally feel you. hahahahaha i was like ummmm. um....... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm LOL

but maybe you can make them ALL boring hahahaha (that's actually what i was contemplating at minute 27 of "thinking" for me) but then the more i thought, the more i was like heyyyyyy that's actually a pretty cool thing that i forgot!!!

so maybe you just need to put your "cool thinking hat" on heheheh

hehehe good guess - i'll reveal at the end of the week :)

My gosh all of them seems like a lie.. hahaha. No offense meant. I guess the very lie I could tell from those is 1. I don't that's possible :)

hahahaha no offense taken!!!! LOL but nope - only one is a lie :) the rest are all true! hehehe

I can imagine all of those being true.

1 & 3 are gone, so I will go with... no, um.... eeny meeny.... oh ok, even though I can still imagine it, I'm going with 10.

Will have to put my thinking cap on and see if there are 10 interesting things about me.

i can't wait to read yours ... and make sure you get your sister to do one too! she is saying that she's too boring but i know that's a lie because i read her stuff and she's hilarious :) she is too funny to not be interesting hehehehe

and.... good guess - i'll reveal at the end of the week :)

Wow this is hard. 6?

good guess..... i'll reveal at the end of the week hehehe :)

This is a difficult one but I think this is a lie 😕

I found a needle in a haystack.

Good guess! I'll tell you later this week 😊

I'm going to guess #9 because no one else has even though I know you'd be a great cheerleader

Good guess... I'll tell you later in the week 😊

This may have been hard for YOU, but it’s pretty challenging for US too! At first, they all seemed like lies. Then, I re-read them and they ALL seem plausible. Go back again, and I’m lost. I’m gonna go with....#4.

Now, there WILL be a post with the story behind ALL of these things, right???

I'll probably just quickly tell which ones are true... Not explain in depth lolol
And good guess!! Lol I'll tell you at the end of the week!!! 😊

To the question in your title, my Magic 8-Ball says:

It is decidedly so

Hi! I'm a bot, and this answer was posted automatically. Check this post out for more information.

Hehehe good guess!!! I'll tell you later this week 😊

cantthinkofanothertag

hahacheck out the tag #tenfactsonelie lol....

As for your lie... hmmmm.... I hope you are a better lier than me lol!

I started learning Russian so my son could go to Mars.

This one I find interesting but will pick it as the lie :) I found writing the lie the hardest to do lol.

Hehee this is so fun!!! Thanks for the challenge!!!! And good guess!!! I'll tell you if you're right later this week! 😉

I think it's "I was a cheerleader for the LA Lakers for 2 years."

Good guess... I'll tell you later this week! 😊

Wow I am going to be busy today thats four blog posts today I have to do gonna enjoy this one.

Hahahhaa make sure I don't miss it!!! Tag me or DM me in discord when you post 😊
But which one is your guess for the lie hehehe

I am going to say 11.

Good guess!!! I'll tell you later in the week hehee

Hahaha interesting! But I am not sure how I am supposed to "detect" which is the lie? I couldn't look you in the eye you know :D But I guess the least likely is #3, so I'll go with that... <3 <3 <3

You have to use your deductive reasoning based on our extensive talk!!! Hahahahaha
And good guess... I'll let you know at the end of the week hehehe

I will go with 7. I initially meant to pick 11 because I see no reason why you would need to know Russian for your son to go to Mars, but 7 sounds most misleading here as it is most believable ;)

Good guess! Iol I'll tell you at the end of the week!

#5....is the lie. :) I googled and couldn't find info on the band but saw the urban dictionary meaning. ew.

I believe you definitely found a needle in a haystack and won $$ and sang in front of 1500 people and were definitely a cheerleader. etc etc. I do believe!

Hehehhee I don't know what the urban dictionary definition is.. now I'm.scared hahaha
But the rock the mic tour IS a real thing. Lolol

It's a bunch of artists... So it's not a band 😉

be scared....I blushed....and then had to rinse my mind.....and go to therapy, get an exorcism and theeeeeeeeeen.....tell you all about it :)

A bunch of artists eh? hmmm.....so I guess #5 is true. Okay...

Well I didn't say it was true hahahaha I just said the tour was real 😉

eeeeyar!!!

I would say number 6 is the lie.

Good guess! I will tell you at the end of the week hehehehe😁

hahahaha YES I'm well up for this @dreemsteem! Give me a few hours to have a think :)

For yours; I'm going to go with 7 as you don't go to school to be a psychiatrist do you? It's education I know, but i'm going on the technicality that you'd go university which is little more than school haha!

Hahaha... In America... We say "school" for university... 😉
