What is the question? What is the answer? Seriously, I apologize for
making it sound as if you had posed The Wrong Question. The problem
was indeed not with the question, but with the system. The system
tells us that there are two items, when in fact there is only one. A
lot of us had looked at this record but David was the first to notice
that the two "items" listed in the holdings statement are, in fact,
two manifestations of one item. This is a bug, and hence probably not
what we want to use in training.
Again, I apologize if my earlier message made it sound as if there was
something wrong with the sample questions. It's the system that is in
error here!
