Question
In a teacher course exam on psychology, one challenging item required perfection. After several attempts and careful deduction, what was its sole correct response?
i think the answer really is ‘perfection’—no trick here, just pure meta psychology. sometimes you gotta embrace the obvious, y’know?
Hey everyone, what a puzzler this one is! I’m leaning toward a thought that maybe it’s meant to be more of a self-referential gem rather than a throwaway term. I mean, the way it’s set up—demanding a perfectly crafted response—seems to invite us to reflect on perfection not simply as a concept but as the whole idea. It gets me wondering, could it be that we’re meant to see the answer as embodying the very challenge it posed? It almost feels like an invitation to explore how our definitions play into our expectations. What do you all think about this kind of meta twist in exam questions? Has anyone else come across a similar brain teaser that made them question the link between the question and its inevitable answer?
