Not OP but I imagine they're trying to 'win' to 'beat' those eye exams they use to test for vision. E.g the one where the doctors ask you read out the letter you see. The exams are to see how bad your vision is or if you need glasses, so artifically trying to get a 'better score' makes it so you don't get the help you need.
I'm assuming this because I did the same thing in grade school ðŸ˜. We had eye exams at school (for some reason? I'm not sure if this is a common thing) No one told me this wasn't a graded exam so I 'cheated' by overhearing the answers of the people before me and memorizing the order.
So guess who struggled to see anything till late middle school when they got glasses 🙃

I realize this is tangential at best but
I work in an eye doctor's office, and we mostly deal with people over 80.
I can always tell when someone's retired from STEM when I take their eye exam and they sit there trying to Solve The Exam lol
