Turkey is about to give 1000s of watchmen the right to bear arms and do body searches. There is concern that they are deeply underqualified to do this. Thankfully, there’s an exam. Here are some actual questions:

Technology has many uses. Which of the following is used to clean?

These are seriously questions from the exam. I am not making this up.

Which is the largest amongst the following human settlements?

Still not joking. If you can read and fill in multiple choice questions, you get to carry a gun, ID anyone, body search them and potentially use lethal force.

When we describe the movement and activities of people, animals and vehicles on the road, we collectively call this:

This is my favorite (amongst a lot of classics)...

Which of the following is a social role derived from birth?

I could go on forever but here is the source in case someone doubts that these are real questions.

We can all sleep safe at night in the knowledge that our watchmen are highly qualified and completely prepared for their lethal duties: odsgm.meb.gov.tr/meb_iys_dosyal…

Oh OK then, here’s a couple more. These next ones will ensure that our watchmen have sufficient emotional intelligence not to abuse their powers.

Which of these is related to telling the truth?

This next one worries me because @nateschenkkan is definitely qualified to be a Turkish watchman based on this question. Also, how is this at all relevant to having the right to pull arms on lonely women at night?

What’s the capital of Turkmenistan?

This next one is a keeper if you want cool-headed watchmen who won’t abuse their power. Cool-headed - get it?

Kaan wants to buy a hat to keep his head cool in the summer. What colour hat should Kaan buy?

I broke the thread at some point by accident but here’s one more and then honestly, I’m done. This one will ensure our watchmen know exactly where Turkey is warring these days.

Which of these is not in Asia?
