Keith,
That's understating it somewhat...this appeal obviously saved my bacon. I'm sad to say that my FTO failed to make the point you outline below. If I spot any dodgy ones in the future I'll be sure to have my instructors query it.
Thanks to all involved in getting this question withdrawn! I clearly need the help!

If the truth be known, I believe my state of mind in exams is costing me more than my knowledge but that's another thread I guess...
Thanks again!
