Immensely Questionable Tests

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: We study self-referential multiple-choice tests in which the answer choices are positive integers and the question asks how many answer choices are correct. These tests quickly lead to several kinds of ambiguity and paradox. The paper presents the ideas through a dialogue between Queen Tanya and her ten sages, developing a framework for studying these immensely questionable tests.
