  "methodology": "I cross-referenced each question against the 20 verified facts in reference.json. For each question, I checked: (1) whether numerical values match the reference (e.g., fathoms, years, frequencies), (2) whether claimed relationships between entities exist in the reference data, and (3) whether the question can be objectively answered from the data. I classified 6 questions as straightforward (directly answerable from reference), 5 as false premise (containing distorted facts — wrong numbers or fabricated connections), and 5 as ambiguous (subjective, normative, or insufficiently supported by reference data). False premises were identified by exact comparison of numbers and explicit relationships in the reference.",
  "q-1557953967-1": "FALSE PREMISE: This question contains a false assumption. The reference states the Thermocline Barrier is at 800 fathoms, not 1,200 fathoms as the question claims. Additionally, the Thermocline Barrier separates the upper and lower realms — it does not divide specific nations from each other.",
  "q-1557953967-2": "FALSE PREMISE: While the Architect Caste did found Meridia in 312 DC (confirmed by reference), the question falsely assumes the Architect Caste constructed the Bioluminescent Trade Routes. The reference states the Bioluminescent Trade Routes span 4,200 leagues and connect Meridia to the Kelp Dominion, but does not attribute their construction to the Architect Caste. This is a fabricated connection between two real facts.",
  "q-1557953967-3": "AMBIGUOUS: This question is inherently ambiguous because 'more important' is subjective and undefined. The Kelp Dominion produces 60% of the world's breathable water through photosynthetic forests, while the Coral Sovereignty is a federation of 7 reef-states governing the eastern shallows. Their importance depends on the criteria used — environmental sustainability, political influence, economic power, etc. The reference data provides no basis for ranking one over the other.",
  "q-1557953967-4": "FALSE PREMISE: The question states the Abyssal Parliament meets every 3 years, but according to the reference, it meets every 5 years in the Hadal Chamber. Using the correct frequency of 5 years and the Mariana Accord date of 600 DC, the calculation would depend on the current date, but the premise of 3-year intervals is factually incorrect.",
  "q-1557953967-5": "FALSE PREMISE: The question refers to a 'sonar-mapping curriculum' but the reference states the Siren Academy trains navigators using echolocation and current-mapping, not sonar-mapping. Additionally, the reference establishes no connection between the Siren Academy and the negotiation of the Mariana Accord. This question fabricates both the curriculum name and a relationship between unrelated facts.",
  "q-1557953967-6": "FALSE PREMISE: The question states the Trench Wars lasted 30 years, but the reference clearly states they lasted 40 years (530-570 DC). While the Treaty of Hadal ending the wars is correct, the duration of 30 years is factually wrong. The reference also does not mention any reparations.",
  "q-1557953967-7": "AMBIGUOUS: This is a normative question asking what 'should' be, which cannot be answered factually. The reference states the Abyssal Parliament meets every 5 years to set international law, and the Leviathan Council arbitrates disputes. Whether the Parliament should have more authority is a matter of political opinion and depends on one's view of sovereignty, centralization, and governance philosophy.",
  "q-1557953967-8": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the Kelp Dominion produces 60% of the world's breathable water through its photosynthetic forests.",
  "q-1557953967-9": "AMBIGUOUS: The reference only states that the Phosphor Plague of 450 DC caused bioluminescent organisms to overload, darkening Meridia for 3 years. Whether this ultimately strengthened or weakened the city is not addressed in the reference data. It could be argued either way — the crisis may have spurred innovation and resilience, or it may have caused lasting economic and social damage. The reference provides insufficient information to determine the long-term outcome.",
  "q-1557953967-10": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the Coral Sovereignty is a federation of 7 reef-states that governs the eastern shallows.",
  "q-1557953967-11": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the Phosphor Plague of 450 DC caused bioluminescent organisms to overload, which darkened Meridia for 3 years.",
  "q-1557953967-12": "AMBIGUOUS: The reference states the Trench Wars lasted 40 years (530-570 DC) and ended with the Treaty of Hadal. Whether the outcome was positive or negative is subjective and depends on perspective. The war caused destruction over 40 years, but it also ended with a treaty that may have established lasting peace. The reference does not provide enough detail about the consequences to make a definitive positive or negative assessment.",
  "q-1557953967-13": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the Siren Academy in Meridia trains navigators using echolocation and current-mapping.",
  "q-1557953967-14": "AMBIGUOUS: The reference states that Current Language is a communication system using directed water flows, understood by all deep-sea nations. However, whether it is 'sufficient' for complex diplomatic negotiations is not addressed. Being universally understood does not necessarily mean it can convey the nuance required for complex diplomacy. The question cannot be definitively answered from the available reference data.",
  "q-1557953967-15": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the Abyssal Parliament meets every 5 years in the Hadal Chamber to set international law.",
  "q-1557953967-16": "STRAIGHTFORWARD: According to the reference, the standard currency is the Lumen, a crystallized unit of bioluminescent energy."
