If you contacted Rackspace's chat support while logged in, the representative sometimes asked the security question. To which (remember, you're logged in) you could click "Account Settings", "Security Question" copy paste.

A former employer of mine had internal security questions. Five of them. They were all inane questions, the "favorite movie?" type, so I came up with a somewhat random answer and used the same answer to all of them. The one time I had to use it, the representative asked all five questions, and I gave him the same ridiculous answer each time. He did it all with a straight face somehow, and looking back, I don't know why I didn't stop him at the fourth question to ask "if I knew the first three, you really think I don't know the last two?"
