Calligraphy exam: Write down the number 37, spelled out, nicely.

Basically, write down the biggest number you can think of
Only if it’s “10 more” in the sense that anything bigger than that is also accepted. If you need to hit 57, because the average is 47, then yeah, good luck.
The goal in the upstream comment wasn’t to get the answer right for you, it’s to skew the average so badly that nobody gets it right, and the bell curve adjusts accordingly for everyone.
Not a bad strategy to be honest
