I'm glad to see someone quantifying that "secret" questions are a basically useless security measure and inherently harmful. Probably the worst example of these security questions is Tradeking. Normally, I just answer the security question with a random password stored in 1Password. Unfortunately, Tradeking has the genius practice of displaying your answers as a multiple choice—when 84209t920tq3g is offered as an option for a hometown, it's pretty obvious. Needless to say, this caused me to close my account immediately.
