Common wisdom around here is that Referee magazine often has "typos" of this sort. I think the big picture is to keep asking around, whether the source is the tests, Referee magazine or this forum. Keep discussing. Keep getting "interps". Eventually you find a concensus.

Isn't a concensus a count of the prison population?

(Only poking fun here because it's rare to see Juulie make this type of mistake. Of course, the thread is about typos, so maybe she was just staying on topic.)

Dagnabit!! I knew it was wrong, but the longer I stared, the more I couldn't figure out why. And me a Quaker raised on consensus, too...

It's nice to see Referee screwing up rulings for basketball, too. Makes us football folks not feel so singled out.
