I've never provided literal, logical answers to security questions, as even without sharing the answers elsewhere, the logical ones would be entirely too easy to guess.
"Make of first car?" There are only so many vehicle brands reasonably accessible in a geographical area - not hard to brute force.
"City of birth?" Common knowledge among all my friends.
It's too easy.
An appropriate answer to "Make of first car?" would be something like "red &5 Blueberry."
