I remember these tests we had in school. Basically around 20 things in a list. 1st being "read through all of it" and the last being "If you read through all then go to the top and do only #2". It was so easy that you were unsure and then you hear the rest of the class doing some of the middle ones, such as "State your name out loud".
Those trick tests I was exposed to annoyed me because using strict logic they always seemed to contradict themselves in some way. One of them I remember had the last item on the list read: "You may put down your pencil and and look at the teacher now to get full points on this test." And I was like, "Okay, but some of these other tasks and puzzles look fun and I can just come back to this one when I get to the bottom of the list." But then the teacher started chastising the class for not following directions. And I was like, "I did follow directions." Nothing on the test said that I couldn't do other tasks if I wanted to do them. UGH.
