I think a human or computer presented this problem may end up
asking for clarification provided more context (not supplied)
were not available.

For the problem given I would suspect perhaps 
not an inconsistancy but rather that
I was being asked to setup a mapping from one "world" to another.
A similar problem is:

	If 32 is 0 and 212 is 100  what is 65?

This is of course a fahrenheit to celsius conversion problem.
Read out of context it sure sounds strange.  This kind of 
mapping problem is very common and might be done correctly
by a computer without blinking a led.  :-)
