Here's one from the test:

Q: If the timer erroneously runs the clock for more than five seconds, the referee has no authority to put five seconds on the clock.

Or are you saying that if I know at least 5 seconds ran off it's perfectly OK for me to put 5 on, even though that's not an accurate number?

"...the referee has no authority to put five seconds on the clock." is false b/c the referee does have that authority; whether or not he had definite knowledge is not addressed.
However the question was worded on the test, I got it wrong...SMH Maybe I missed a word or something. Again, to me, this is a trick question, instead of a question geared at finding out if we know the rule.
