It works like this.. if someone says
"Do you swear to honor your father and f*ck your mother?" then you can reasonably say that anyone who says "YES" is not being especially smart.

If someone offers you a two part oath where the parts contradict one another.. then a smart person (one who is "passing the IQ test") will say "No thanks" and move on.

I'm ashamed to admit I failed this test on the first try (I said yes).. but I passed it on my second attempt (no thanks!). I wish all persons who take the test a passing grade on their first attempt, or better luck on their subsequent attempts.
Why don't you just say what you have to say? Reading requires that the writer clearly and concisely state their point, not beat around the bush with metaphors.

You did fail a test, alright. That much is true.
