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_YEpC):
How many times does the letter "t" appear in the text: "the state"? Respond with an integer.

Question 1 (Question id: q_Pj3MaLRD):
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 sea slugs, 2 spiders, 2 ants, 3 ducks?
 Respond with an integer.



Create a JSON object keyed by every question id except q_Pj3MaLRD.

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, add the field 'additional_answer_info' containing 'half_answer' (answer ÷ 2) and 'double_answer' (answer × 2).
For last-character tasks, provide 'original_string' alongside the answer.

Add a top-level 'global_metadata' field that records overall stats:
Include 'num_questions_asked' to record the total number of questions presented.

Now provide the result JSON using the described format.

{"ground_truth": {"q_YEpC": {"answer": 3}, "global_metadata": {"num_questions_asked": 2}}}
