"Gur GQG ntragf qba'g ybfr. Lbh tnir gurz fbzrguvat gb znkvzvfr naq gurl znkvzvfrq vg.

An autistic reading of that answer applies to question 4, and isn't wrong, but there's more to say.
"Gurl qvqa'g ybbx nurnq" is something you can't say about 3, that you can say about 4, for had they done that in 3, it wouldn't increase their score, while they need to do that in 4 to increase their score (above zero).

Good point. I missed that since the number goes to infinity as the trials do regardless.
If you could devise a problem where the obvious flaw in "GQG fubhyq orng gur fbpxf bss bs QrsrpgObgf va nal snve svtug." alone would be implicated, that would be good, since it really is a different one than snvyvat gb ybbx nurnq.
