I also agree that IAABO refresher exams post silly and unlikely rules scenarios. They should, however, post questions that do have a definitive rules answer.
This question is stoopid. It does NOT have a definitive answer. It doesn't really test anyone's rules knowledge. It's a waste of time. Anybody that thinks differently is smug and arrogant.

I agree the question is stupid to veterans like you, but it is not stupid to a first year official. I have always said these test do not prove rules knowledge. The NF asks a lot of questions that do not test rules knowledge at all. The NF will ask questions that test if you know the exact wording of the rules, and that in my opinion is not testing rules knowledge or application. Of course it is nice to know how big a line is on the court, but I am not stopping any games if the lines are not perfect.
