    The number sequence solution certainly could be 31 In fact most of the time it would be ...but it could also be 30 if the dots are spaced equally apart. In that case, the tiny triangle in the middle would no longer exist - it'd become a point. Meaning there are only 30 areas. It's not really a stable set to base a number sequence problem around. Or perhaps she could just qualify the explanation by saying: "placing dots IRREGULARLY around a circle"

    You can become a general practitioner vet in 4 years. If you want to specialize you have to do a year long internship and then a 3 year long residency. And for even more specialized fields like opthalogical doctors it can be extra years of residency. But generally to be like a trauma surgeon or orthopedist or dentist or dermatologist and so on and so on it’s 8 years.

      It's just old information. No major crime of misinformation. There were parts of the country which did enforce jaywalking statutes, as recently as the 1990s. The problem is that it was really bad community relations for police forces and there was a spate of cases where some municipal police departments were found to be using the jaywalking laws as excuses to specifically target dark skinned folks.... Yeah, that old issue that never goes away.
