What does worked mean? Usually gotcha questions don't convice people from my experience.

That's not really the point of a gotcha question. The point is to score a (valueless) point over the victim and let the victim know you're (not you commenter) an arse.

Fucking gotcha of my life, right there. Took a while before they knew it was a gotcha question though.

I am nowhere near quick enough to do gotchas.
