Quiz yourself on the awkward exceptions

What you'll need

• A short, non-sensitive set of instructions or rules you need to understand.

Steps

1. Paste the instructions into the prompt.
2. Answer the two scenarios before reading the answer key.
3. Compare each explanation with the original text, especially anything marked unclear.

Using only the instructions below, create a short self-test in plain text with no Markdown formatting. Keep the entire output under 140 words. Write two numbered fictional scenarios that test an exception or boundary in the instructions. Ask what the reader should do in each. Then write an Answer key with one answer per scenario, quoting the relevant words from the instructions. If the text does not settle a scenario, label its answer Unclear and identify the missing rule. Do not invent rules. Instructions: [paste your instructions here]

What you should get

Two numbered scenarios followed by an Answer key; each answer quotes relevant instructions. Unresolved cases are labelled Unclear with the missing rule identified. Plain text, under 140 words, with no invented rules.

Tested example: Tested on sample input

Our apartment building collects paper and cardboard in the blue bin. Flatten boxes and remove plastic wrapping. Food-stained cardboard goes in general waste, but a clean lid can be separated and recycled. Glass jars belong in the green crate with lids removed. Leave broken glass out of the crate. The notice does not explain where broken glass should go.

1. Maya has a cardboard takeaway box with a food-stained base and a clean lid that can be separated. What should she do with each part?

2. Leo has a broken glass jar. He removes its lid and wonders where to put the broken glass. What should he do?

Answer key

1. Separate the clean lid and recycle it in the blue bin; put the stained base in general waste. “Food-stained cardboard goes in general waste, but a clean lid can be separated and recycled.” “Flatten boxes and remove plastic wrapping.”

2. Unclear where to dispose of it. “Leave broken glass out of the crate.” The missing rule is its disposal destination: “The notice does not explain where broken glass should go.”
