300,000 students took this test question - and every single one got it wrong
In 1982, more than 300,000 students took the SAT, facing a question that seemed straightforward but led every single test taker to the wrong answer. The twist came later, when a handful of students insisted the problem itself was flawed. After reviewing their arguments, the testing authority admitted the mistake and removed the question entirely. It was a rare moment when the test, not the students, was wrong.
