A further test would be to explain the difference between accuracy and presision.

Extra credit (my favorite conversion problem for my nursing students taking bonehead chemistry): Everyone knows that the speed of light in a vacuum is 186,000 miles per second. What is the speed of light in furlongs per fortnight?
you mean precision? is that accurate?
