Spot the Flaw
Spot the Flaw
A quiz built from Ahmed's own errata: read a real bug, name the measurement trap behind it.
The six traps
Every project on this site shipped a number that didn't survive a second look. The quiz shows you the real erratum with the project's name hidden, and you name the trap. The answer key is Ahmed's own write-up, What Checking 64 Projects Found, which files each project under one of these patterns:
- Toy inputs, not real files: Run It On The File People Actually Have (4 errata)
- Saw the answer key: The Benchmark Could See The Answer Key (5 errata)
- Nobody can rerun it: A Number Nobody Can Rerun Is A Claim (2 errata)
- Fix never ran: The Fix Was In A Module Nothing Imported (3 errata)
- Only tested one way: Sensitivity Without Specificity Is Not A Result (4 errata)
- One lucky seed: One Seed Is An Anecdote (3 errata)
21 questions from 21 projects. Six rounds per game; five right earns the badge.
