I'd like to thank all the people that think the representations in math problems should be or are to scale for my quite impressive SAT scores, it helped a lot in my college admissions to have you all for comparison, and I slept through half of high school so I really needed that.

    Most of the time, those who accept the lie will go farther in society. They're not just testing your scholastic aptitude, but also your compliance.

    How many lights do you see, Picard?

    4, but I can understand your confusion. You see the fifth light but don't realize the question is specifically about the interrogation lamps and not the ceiling light. I mean, it was very obvious, and this is is a cognitive test for children, but you know. I get it.

    (Probably a rhetorical mistake to accidentally cast me in the role of Picard btw)
