Completly added something in the question that is not there. Three is not an incorrect answer. 1+1+1=3<6 but however the answer 6 isnt 100% correct, but would be 100% correct if outs were part of the equation. Gee, i sound like a math teacher who is teaching mathematical problems.
The question was:

In one inning, what are most hits a team can have without scoring a run?

The phrase "in one inning" is all you need to read to know that your interpretation is BS. The correct answer of 6 is the correct, reasoned answer to the question, as asked. Your interpretation reveals a SERIOUSLY flawed ability to apply analytical thinking to the simplest of problems.

You might want to consider trading in Little League umpiring for summer school classes.
