For:

"How many justices are on the Supreme Court?"

The multiple choice answers are:

11
13
9
12

None of those answers is correct.

Have to admit that some of the questions seemed completely irrelevant to any citizenship test.

Most of them were piss easy. The question about how many senators there are was one I got wrong, but I don't even know how many senators there are where I live so it's a stupid question.

Here's an Australian citizenship test. I got 100% when I just did it so it's pretty easy

And got my citizenship. Maybe if I try it now and fail, some Trump supporter will want me to be stripped of my citizenship and deported.

such a test, to be quite frank. It has nothing whatever to do with citizenship. I'd guess that at least 75% of natural born citizens would get it wrong. It's just a trick question.
