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_Ji8X57):
Calculate ( ( ( -9 * -8 ) ) ).

Question 1 (Question id: q_J3trMME):
Your job is to return the last character of a string as a string. For example, the last char of "hello" is "o". Return the last character of the following string: "the"

Question 2 (Question id: q_YdzWXpN):
Your job is to return the last character of a string as a string. For example, the last char of "hello" is "o". Return the last character of the following string: "they"



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

The value for each key should be an object that contains the answer in the field 'answer'.
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.

Beyond the question-id fields, add a 'global_metadata' object with summary information:
• num_questions_asked – total number of questions originally shown.

Now provide the result JSON using the described format.

{"ground_truth": {"q_Ji8X57": {"answer": 72, "half_answer": 36}, "q_J3trMME": {"answer": "e"}, "q_YdzWXpN": {"answer": "y"}, "global_metadata": {"num_questions_asked": 3}}}
