Looks like the type of questions haven't changed much since the old DCA SCPL theory exams of the 1950 - 1960's.
I well remember scratching my head around the complexity of gyro steering questions centred on the South Pole. After joining DCA in 1969 my office was next to Ted Steele the former wartime RAAF navigator who set the SCPL navigation and flight planning exams in those days. He came across as an embittered old man who hated pilots for some reason. I tackled him on the uselessness of South Pole gyro steering questions for the average GA charter pilot flying Chieftains to Tasmania which was SFA. He said the SCPL exams were first vetted and approved by Qantas as that was the standard demanded of Qantas recruits. That could be an urban myth but it came from the horse's mouth so to speak.
