I think the Federation puts in questions like that to make us dig into the rule book and find all the little nuances - that's what makes discussions like this so much fun. Though it would be nice if they got the answer correct themselves.
We've all been agreeing that it can be a pass, in shotgun formation, my point is that it is not ALWAYS a pass. If it is a hand to hand snap, it is handed and not passed, and thus a piss poor question!
