Thank you, Prof. Gödel.

I had one that annoyed me to no end --

Basically it had to do with the score being final and the game over when the official (singular) has left the visual confines of the court.

It should've been plural and probably included the word "all" officials... because while that statement could be true, it could also be false depending on the 2nd/3rd official.

As you know, the answer to NFHS questions is 'false' unless the statement is true in every respect.

As you also know, nobody is supposed to get 100% on the test; errors are supposed to spark further study of the rules. So poorly worded questions are to be expected as a means to an end.
