Hero-U First Exam Test Answers 100% (Spoiler) Also Bug

[Patriot]

1. One should go out of their way to avoid danger (This is false about the way of the cockroach)
2. Watch from a concealed place to observe the trouble (When trouble approaches, what should be your first action)
3. All of the Above (Which of the following is a rouge's tool)
4. Hold the knife by the heaviest part (What is the best way to use a throwing knife)
5. Avoid getting into trouble in the first place (What is the best way to avoid trouble)
6. Their Brain (what is the one tool that all rouges must put to good use)
7. It's hard to be subtle when you wave a red flag (Why is the class called disbarred bards)
8. One does not go out of his or her way to provoke a wolf (Why show Master Respect)
9. Perception (What is most important about the way of the bat)
10. All of the above (How does one become rouge of the year)

Bug: If you earn a 95 (Yes some answers trickily give you half a point) then your score will not be revealed. He'll just skip over you.

I agree with all your answers. (And if I remember right, the Prof didn't mention a specific score in my game either.)

[Patriot]

Sounds like a bug to me. Why would he mention it everytime with the exception of when you get a perfect score. I also have another theory that some answers may be worth 5 points since there are 10 questions you'd expect each would be valued at 10 points however if I miss any one question I score an 85, however given everything I know these are the best answers for the question.

[Patriot]

OK this is interesting. I changed the answer to "all of the above" and it also gave me no score IE wasn't inherently incorrect. If I change it to a "wrong" answer though my score changes to 75 whereas most other questions have changed my score to 85. If we are to assume that the correct answer for each question is 10 points and some will give you 5 what can we infer.....that getting another question wrong you lose 10 points meaning 1 question is definitely worth 5 points It isn't this question I believe the answer I listed is correct which makes my score 95...but then what is the 5 point question......

[Patriot]

Looks like I was correct. One question was worth 5 points "7. All of the above (Why is the class called disbarred bards)" The 10 point answer is "It is hard to be subtle when waving a red flag" Use that and you will get a perfect score. I've also updated the wiki so that the answers are confirmed.

[For_Science!]

Good investigation!
(I was gonna say that the Professor doesn't mention a perfect score because he doesn't want it to go to your head, but it sounds like you found a better explanation.)

[transolar]

Great catch! The code read, "If test score = 100... else if test score <= 90 and >= 70". Obviously there is no reason for the "<= 90" check, but the 5 point partial credit for some answers was a late "improvement" to the test. This has been fixed in Patch 2.

4. Hold the knife by the heaviest part (What is the best way to use a throwing knife)

I seen a few guides on the internet says to hold the OPPOSITE of the heaviest part so i answered this question wrongly. :(
Example:
https://www.wikihow.com/Throw-a-Knife
Keep in mind that you want the weight to be thrown first. If you are throwing a blade-heavy knife, you will want your blade to be thrown first. Hold the knife by the handle to throw it. And vice versa -- if you’re throwing a handle-heavy knife, you will throw it by the blade.

It also makes sense from a physics viewpoint. If the weight is thrown first, the flight path is more stable than throwing it last.

The correct answer is listed in the training room. Read the poster about throwing knives.

I actually tried knife throwing as a hobby back in the 1980s. How you held it depended on how far you were throwing because generally the knife will spin a certain amount per distance and you need ot figure out how much it will spin so it will hit blade first.

[Xander77]

I got a perfect test score - answered "all of the above" both for "why we don't call ourselves Rogues" and "why we should respect the Master".

That's because they changed the test. That answer used to reward half a point they changed that because it was causing the discussed bug.

Interesting. Lori found a web source that said you should hold the knife by its heaviest part. Corey did some knife throwing in Boy Scouts and mostly ended up with the knife hitting the target sideways and not sticking, so he deferred to Lori's research... after getting the wrong answer in his own first play-through. It isn't totally intuitive, but it's On The Web So It Must Be Right (tm). :-)

I hate to throw a bit more fuel on the fire, but can't help myself, so isn't it really about how to throw an imperfect throwing knife?

What I mean, is any knife is technically and basically throwable, but a truly well made throwing knife specifically made for throwing, should also be perfectly balanced and not actually have a heavy end (if talking about a traditional flat blade thrower).

Then there is actually different throwing styles for different types of knives. You wouldn't throw a cleaver, the same way you throw a boot knife. Likewise, there are many type of specific throwers as well. Some are made more with a weighted dart or hatchet style to them, while others are either perfectly balanced, or slightly weighted towards the handle. It all changes, specifically on the knife itself, from my experience.
