Sometimes you have a run in with a customer that ain't worth having-- no matter how much money they pay.

As a very old lefty, I wish my handwriting looked that good.

Boys in particular, (though girls are not exempt from poor handwriting), will have "poor" penmanship pretty much all through elementary school and even into Jr High. And fractions are generally introduced at the end of the 3rd grade school year. And based on the question, that's the likely grade level that test was created for.

I would bet that most of the students in that class got the answer correct because they were coached to read the question correctly-- to look for the fractions and simply compare them. And anyone else that didn't, simply chose the wrong answer. Still, you will get a surprise answer like that every once in a while because kids are cool like that. It's worth a chuckle as you move on.

I have designed several 3D printed firearms related items.

I designed and printed shims for my Winchester SX4 shotgun, (Winchester claimed they couldn't design them and make them work), and I uploaded the .stls for the set so other shooters could make their guns fit better so they could hit targets better.

I also designed a 3D printed EZLoader for a SIG P365 pistol. Those 12 round double stack single feed magazines are nearly impossible to load without one. And I felt the commercial ones that cost $40 or more were too expensive. So I designed something simpler and cheaper you can make at home for yourself.

These designs came about because I discussed problems with other shooters on several different shooting forums. Does that make me a criminal? While neither of my designs are anything like a Glock switch, no one knows just how far the law could be stretched if wanted. And one thing everyone knows is just how ignorant police are about laws. Not to mention just how impossible it would be for the state of New York to police the entire internet in search of such files and discussions. They can't even stop you from downloading a pirated copy of your favorite video game. This proposed law is more feel good theater than anything that can be considered effective.

And if what I could do with my 3D printer scares people, just imagine what I can do with my metal lathe, mill, and welders.........

I looked PHA up. Color Fab offers some at a fairly reasonable price, but limited colors. It seems an interesting choice for printing. I do like the heat resistance of >120C. The printing temp range is low and pretty narrow and needs hair spray. I wonder if it's comparable with PEI print sheets.

But it still has a price hard time competing with the $11US per kilo of PLA brands like eSun.

I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.

Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.

Gemini has popped up pnce since it became a thing. I simply clicked no and it's gone away. So hopefully it stays away.

Nah, you still good bro as long as you are moving smoothly with the traffic.

What catches the trooper's eye and gets you pulled over is doing all those lane changes if you want to be the fastest. That's what is unsafe. Otherwise, they aren't too concerned about the actual speed as long as the traffic is flowing smoothly.

There are firearms related .stl's that can be found, but they are accessories rather than the actual parts that make a firearm function. But there are forums that do discuss and build 3D printed firearms that can be found with some searching.

I've done a couple of designs, shims for a Winchester SX4 shotgun to fit several guns to their owners for target shooting and hunting. And an easy loader for my P365XL. That 12 round double stack single feed clown car of a magazine is hard to load without it. But I haven't bothered to publish either design and I have never wanted to either.
