Surprised the instructions are so simple!

Sydney, home of the ridiculous parking signs: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-21/quiz-sydney-confusing...

Best strategy there is just read the no stopping/clearway first, then if you can stop, stop and read the rest!

I'm inordinately irritated that this quiz is impossible to ace. I got every question right but for #6, which has an answer format that makes it impossible to answer correctly. "Sorry, trick question," it says when you put in "0 hours" as the best approximation of the correct "you can't park here at all" answer. Like, I knew that … you just … made it impossible to answer correctly? What?

This is a silly thing to be upset about, but just … why would they have done that? It's so stupid.

It even says "The correct answer was zero"!
