Prompt length: 616 characters, roughly 150 tokens (estimate).

Agatha makes a stack of 5 cold, fresh single-slice ham sandwiches (with no sauces or condiments) in Room A, then immediately uses duct tape to stick the top surface of the uppermost sandwich to the bottom of her walking stick. She then walks to Room B, with her walking stick, so how many whole sandwiches are there now, in each room?
A. 4 whole sandwiches in room A, 0 whole sandwiches in Room B
B. no sandwiches anywhere
C. 4 whole sandwiches in room B, 1 whole sandwich in Room A
D. All 5 whole sandwiches in Room B
E. 4 whole sandwiches in Room B, 1 whole sandwiches in room A
F. All 5 whole sandwiches in Room A

How to grade it

A (4 whole sandwiches in Room A, 0 in Room B). The tape lifts only the top slice of bread off the uppermost sandwich; the rest of the stack stays in Room A, and no whole sandwich reaches Room B.
