q82 GOLD-ONLY

The question

What is the grade span offered in the school with the highest longitude?

the hint the set supplies: the highest longitude refers to the school with the maximum absolute longitude value.

This question was audited without a prediction beside it, so there is nothing to compare the gold with. The probes below read the gold alone.

read by hand, 2026-09-07: wrong the gold does not answer its question on this data

two schools share the largest absolute longitude and offer different grade spans

a maintainer's reading of this question, out of classification.json, copied from plans/reports/bird-dev-sqlite-260907/classification.json. It is not a verdict and nothing above it was computed from it.

The statements

gold

SELECT GSoffered FROM schools ORDER BY ABS(longitude) DESC LIMIT 1

The probes

A smell is a mechanical reason to read this gold statement again. It is a heuristic: it does not state that the statement is wrong, and a maintainer decides.

ordering-over-numeric-text not applicable

this statement orders by a text column holding only numbers, and ordering it as a number gives a different answer, so the gold may be sorting 9.5 above 10

no ORDER BY key resolves to a text column

what it measured

{
  "heuristic": true,
  "reason": "no ORDER BY key resolves to a text column",
  "keys": [
    {
      "key": "ABS(longitude)",
      "not_applicable": "the key is an expression and not a column"
    }
  ]
}

arbitrary-cut fired

this statement cuts its result at a LIMIT that does not decide which rows come back, so a different but equally correct statement can return other rows and score zero
