    A perfectly designed test - ambiguous enough that anyone subjected to it can be failed.

    I still don’t know what #11 is “supposed” to be.

      I think it’s supposed to say “Cross out the digit necessary”, so one digit, in which case cross out the 1 because there’s enough 0’s that crossing out one 0 isn’t enough.

      It’s 10 that has me confused. Is it asking for the last letter of the first word that starts with ‘L’ in that sentence? It doesn’t actually specify.

        And question 12, looks like the intent was below circle 3, but they put below circle 2. So is it a typo, or another intentionally ambiguous question where you can fail whoever you want?

          “Oh, you’re black? Sorry, it was first L word in this undisclosed dictionary that we use for these tests”

      Can anyone explain #1 to me? What are you supposed to circle? It says “the number or the letter”. There’s 1 number and the entire sentence is literally letters…

      It’s like when the waiter asks “Soup or salad?” and you say “Yes”.

      You got enough answers but here’s how you deny someone the right to vote: the question really means you need to make the number 1000000 exact as that is the number “below” the question. Not fewer, physically below.
