Again, RTFQ!
Yep. You are right about learning to read the game.
And in fact, as well as RTFQ, RTFA!!!
In one Q there's a METAR to decode. At 1st glance both answers A and B are obviously in there and answer C is off the wall.
On closer inspection answer A says wind is xxx degrees magnetic and answer B says ceiling is yyy feet MSL! Very sneaky and a bit irritating.
The correct Answer C is an extremely obscure remark at the end of the METAR and with the time recast in the answer.
It tests my ability to watch for such traps, but not sure it tests my meteorology.
