>			A Test Of Discernment

This sort of test bothers me.  I think we can boil this test down a bit:

1.  Read all directions before you do anything.
2.  Draw a horse on the paper.
3.  Make sure not do draw on the paper.
    (or: Ignore instruction #2)

Upon reading #3, I think: "This test is inconsistent." 
Instructions 2 & 3 have the same level of importance; who says
that #3 can override #2?  If #2 had come after #3, would we be
expected to obey the latter one?
