Here is a set of basic questions producing integer or string outputs. Answer them and format the result precisely with the JSON instructions provided:

Question 0 (Question id: q_tfAmtJ):
How many times does the letter "e" appear in the text: "a little while"? Respond with an integer.

Question 1 (Question id: q_RxzDPHnQ):
Your task is to count how many legs there are in total when given a list of animals.

Now, how many legs are there in total if you have 4 grasshoppers, 3 cows, 2 woodlouses, 1 elephant, 4 spiders?
 Respond with an integer.

Question 2 (Question id: q_dN9w):
Your task is to count how many legs there are in total when given a list of animals.

Now, how many legs are there in total if you have 4 dogs, 2 cockroachs, 1 crab, 2 grasshoppers, 2 shrimps?
 Respond with an integer.



Produce a JSON object whose top-level keys are the question ids.

Each key’s value must be an object holding an 'answer' field.
If the response to a question is an integer that is even, also add the field 'half_answer' to the object which contains the answer integer divided by two.
If the response to a question is a string, add a 'first_char' field containing its first character.

Add a top-level 'global_metadata' field that records overall stats:
Set 'num_questions_asked' to the count of questions originally displayed.
Add 'num_questions_answered' showing how many questions you answered.

Now provide the result JSON using the described format.
