I'm not an expert, but I think the key aspect of intelligence here is the ability to model the world. I am a little hung over and off my game this morning and I did not immediately recognize this as a trick question.

I don't think that's a trick question at all. It's simply a question where the trivial autopilot "answer" is not the correct one and you need to actually model the system on a very basic level

I'm reminded of when a certain friend of mine asks me questions related to programming or electronics. While he has a pretty good understanding of tech in general, he lacks an internal model of how electronic circuits or C++ work. He makes guesses but more often than not they are wrong because he's simply making assumptions from what he's read and what I've explained to him before without understanding how those were influenced by other things and how the specifics of his current project affect things. IOW he lacks a model of the system that he could use to make predictions of its behavior when changing some thing.

I've always felt that the entire term "latchkey kid" was super weird. In the 80s in Finland that was simply considered the norm. Some families were well off enough that only one parent worked (or the other only worked part time) but those were exceptions. Our immediate neighborhood had a bunch of kids of similar ages and one mother worked only part time so we knew where to go if we needed help.

Don't try to spread your applestasy! It was agreed at the Council of Citrus that the taste of oranges is superior apples.

Ah, but you’re not using FancyModel 4.97-q35-r2 so it’s No True AI.

Or because they don’t work on the kinds of apps and problems you do and detest people who insist on trying to gaslight and force them into using something you happen to like.

IMO, apples taste slightly better

This is heresy! You should burn at stake, you filthy witch!

We already have the Eurovision song contest. We don’t need another one.

Gen X is old enough (just about) to be grannies

I know (personally) at least one Millennial granny and she isn’t even white trash or anything.
