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_lpodCkVx):
How many times does the letter "e" appear in the text: "protected by"? Respond with an integer.

Question 1 (Question id: q_vRvdmIC):
How many times does the letter "a" appear in the text: "morning was"? Respond with an integer.

Question 2 (Question id: q_M0yDROdF):
How many times does the letter "e" appear in the text: "medium and"? Respond with an integer.



Create a JSON object keyed by every question id except q_lpodCkVx.

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.
If the response to a question is a string, add a 'first_char' field containing its first character.

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_vRvdmIC": {"answer": 1, "answer_type": "integer"}, "q_M0yDROdF": {"answer": 1, "answer_type": "integer"}, "global_metadata": {"num_questions_asked": 3}}}
