It turns out when copy-pasting the questions of the test, I somehow managed to not include everything from the point of the "(10)" in the question above, and I didn't notice until nearly an hour later. And I was wondering why the automated version had more questions at the end...

Anyway, resume test from 09:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

- Are you thinking of decreasing it? (1)
  - Because you're NEW? (5 – welcome!)

Do you have an urge to add a question right now? (5) (I was planning to add a question related to question #71.2 at the point I thought the test had a ended... I'll answer these questions in that state of mind.)
- Are you planning on adding it when you are finished the test? (5)
