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.

I would assume each question is independent of the others, so probably a T for 'last'

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 2 months ago

That would be my guess too, but tbh that's the only question I don't feel confident about

Yeah, in the most pedantic sense, the correct answer is "a", for "Louisiana"

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

Yeah, but the actual answer is how white are you?

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?

[-] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

That's a perfect example of its ambiguousness; I read that as "the number below [this question]" and assumed I had to cross out enough zeros to make it 1,000,000.

Compared to rest of questions, the one doesn't specify that the answer is contained in the sentence, By that logic, I'd say the first word is Louisiana.
