Did the test show that Jimmy was pregnant?
Was it an eye test?
Was it a test for colour blindness?
NO
Need a bit more on this for it to be called “solved”.
Was the examiner twenty feet from something other than Jimmy?
Was he twenty feet from an eye chart or a projection of an eye chart?
Did Jimmy’s cheating inadvertently have him reading the wrong letters or the wrong chart?
Did the test involve readiness for military service?
Did Jimmy want to fail the test?
The test also showed he had gonorrhea, he needed an oil change, and if he doesn’t stop certain activities his tennis elbow is going to get much worse.
I think we have it. Anyone want to summarize a full solution?
Jimmy, wanting to get in the military but knowing that he would fail the eye test, obtained what he thought was the eye chart being used and sneaked it into the eye exam. However, since he had the wrong chart, the Examiner knew immediately that Jimmy was cheating even though he was 20 feet away and had his back turned.

Done! Solved!
I was thinking that episode from House, where a stoner used his girlfriend’s urine to try to pass a piss test, and House told him he was pregnant.
I have another, but somebody, please go first. I’ll go if no one else has one in the next few hours.
I’ll try one.
A place in Europe is indirectly responsible for the deaths of 80 million people. How?
The art school that rejected Hitler’s application?
I’m reminded of the old comic-book explanation for why Superman didn’t serve in the military in World War II: During the eye test, he accidentally read the chart from the next room over, and got four-effed. But moving on:
Were the 80 million people (primarily) in Europe?
Was World War II involved?
Was war, in general, involved?
Was disease involved?
Would any of the deaths have been regarded as a crime?
Would the majority of the deaths have been regarded as crimes?
If it were not for this specific place, could some other place have led to the same result?
Is the “place” a…
Country?
Region of a country?
City?
Company or other institution within a city?
No, but you’re warm.
