A's ball 1st and goal at the 4. 2 plays and 2 sacks later it's 3rd down and goal from the 35. On 3rd down, B commits pass interference on an incomplete pass. Down and distance?

NFHS: 1st and 10 from B's 20. The penalty is 15 yards from the previous spot and an automatic first down.

Is this one of those NFHS trick questions?

NCAA: depends on where the DPI occurred. If within 15 yards, a spot foul. If more than 15 yards, 15 yards. Either way, first down and 10.

Sort of, almost, but not quite.

Does the fact that this occurred under Fed Rules during overtime change anything?
