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_GnEQY1O):
Calculate 5 * 8.

Question 1 (Question id: q_859UP):
How many times does the letter "t" appear in the text: "reaches the almost"? Respond with an integer.

Question 2 (Question id: q_3IeF):
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: "others"

Question 3 (Question id: q_If0e):
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: "trends"

Question 4 (Question id: q_W2Lw):
Solve for u: 16*u + 7 = 39 Respond with an integer.

Question 5 (Question id: q_aEPRCv):
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 1 woodlouse, 1 firefly, 4 ducks, 2 cows, 3 sea slugs?
 Respond with an integer.

Question 6 (Question id: q_VA6yq):
Calculate ( -1 - -7 ).



Return a JSON with each question id (except for q_859UP) as a key.

For every question id, supply an object whose 'answer' field stores the solution.
Include an 'answer_type' field (value 'string' or 'integer') for every answer object.
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.
For last-character tasks, provide 'original_string' alongside the answer.

Beyond the question-id fields, add a 'global_metadata' object with summary information:
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.
