Hmm, this gives me manufactured engagement vibes. Like those mobile game ads ("only 10% of players are smart enough to complete this puzzle!"

Nope, it was save their pin in their phone address book under a false name like Alan the Aardvark.

I thought it was Ethel the Aardvark, who just happens to be a quantity surveyor.

Yep. This looks like a typical Reddit thread...

If anyone’s curious to try some of the questions I found a mock test here.

I passed! And I'm neither British, no do I aim at British citizenship. Will I get a consolation prize instead?

You get to Brexit immediately! Have some sovereignty!

I didn’t vote brexit so as you could give the ultimate prize to anyone.

Honestly as somebody who's done one of these tests, they're genuinely not very hard but they do require you to do a few hours of prep. The actual application though is very long and tedious asking you to obtain information from the government only to copy it into the application form and send it back to the government. Needless tedium really. Not to mention having to find character witnesses who have to work in specific professions and must have known you for years.

I don't see how many, if any, of those questions in the images are relevant to someone being assessed of worthiness of citizenship. Surely it should be more about current day culture and the way we live in the UK?
