While we're on the subject of test questions, the most memorable one
I've encountered was on my very first (Novice) test in 1971.

The question was to the effect "what precautions should be taken with
high voltage power supplies?". The obviously correct answer was "the
use of bleeder resistors". In the same list, however, was "Double indemnity
life insurance."  Imagine! The FCC with a sense of humor. It really
made my day.

This discussion about what ought to be a trivial (to us hams, anyway)
question brings up an important point. If it becomes obvious that a given
question is ambiguous, how do we go about having it removed from the list?
Can a person who has taken a test appeal such questions?
