This is precisely why I have not written any code here to support a "voting system" for questions and answers.
In computing, questions and answers are not so simple to be "the best" or "the worst" because computer systems are deployed in different environments with different risk management profiles and the tech support teams and system admins all have different backgrounds and skill sets.
It is better, in my view, build skills in troubleshooting and debugging, versus a model of "ask for an answer and get it" which does not really help people learn to think on their own.
Having said that.

NAME
purity-ng - general purpose purity testing software
SYNOPSIS
purity-ng [OPTION]... list|FILE|TESTNAME
DESCRIPTION
Purity is an interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format. For each test, questions are printed to
the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question. At a prompt, these are your choices:
y Answer "yes" to the question.
n Answer "no" to the question.
b Backup one question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
s Print your current score on the test you are taking.
q Quit the test, and print the current score.
? Print a help screen for the current prompt.
At the end of the test, your score is printed out. For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.
OPTIONS
--version
print current version of purity-ng
-h, --help
show the help message and exit
-p print the test without prompting for answers.
-r decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.
To get a list of all purity tests available globally on your system, run purity-ng list.
