- This overstates German exam rules. Repeat-attempt limits are not universal: they vary by university and program, and some official rules explicitly allow more than three attempts or additional rescue options.
- A final failed exam does not automatically ban someone from all German higher education or erase all prior credits. Official university and state rules say the restriction is generally limited to the same or closely related program, and previously earned credits may still be recognized in a different program.

- OEIS A343335 is defined as the smallest proper alternating multiple of n, not simply the smallest positive alternating multiple. In particular, the entry excludes n itself when n already has alternating-parity digits.

- This overstates OpenAI’s cyber-defense strategy. Official OpenAI materials describe patching as one part of a broader resilience plan that also includes trusted-defender access, monitoring, secure architecture, least privilege, detection/response, and other layered defenses.

- This is a blanket false generalization. Pakistan’s official zakat/charity system documents that charitable funds are disbursed to poor and deserving people, including widows, orphans, students, and patients—not generally to terrorism.

- This is incorrect: NIST/US AISI/CAISI has publicly released multiple evaluation reports and summaries of frontier-model testing, including pre-deployment and cyber-capability assessments.
- This is incorrect: documented cyberattacks have been associated with increased patient mortality, and official NIST materials describe real cyber incidents that caused operational loss of control in industrial systems.

- This misstates Epoch AI's result. Epoch gives 40x/year as one example, while its overall finding is that fixed-performance inference price declines vary widely across benchmarks, ranging from about 9x to 900x per year—not a 90% confidence interval around 40x.

- This is incorrect: several of the names in the caption match Campbell-Ewald ad-creative staff credited on the Navy campaign, not hidden service members in the photo.

- This wording is wrong. The BRAVIA-drome used 64 static images of Kaká, not 64 Kakás or footballers.

- This frames EU availability as if the EU gave Grok a special approval and denied the others, but the cited product docs point to company rollout choices instead. EU AI rules are based on compliance and enforcement, not a public product-by-product approval process for these tools.

- The escape aircraft was a Cessna O-1 Bird Dog, but it was not a wooden-and-fabric airplane. Authoritative museum sources describe the O-1 Bird Dog as an all-metal aircraft.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock
- This dates consumer quartz miniaturization too late. Quartz wristwatches were already commercialized in 1969, and the key miniaturization and mass-market electronic advances happened in the 1970s, not only in the 1980s.
- This overstates how quartz watches work. Many quartz timepieces—especially analog ones—still have moving parts, including step motors and rotors.
- This confuses latitude with longitude. In celestial navigation, precise timekeeping is the classic requirement for determining longitude, while latitude has historically been much easier to determine without an accurate clock.

- Das dort ausgestrahlte Antennenfernsehen läuft in Dänemark heute über DVB-T2, nicht mehr über DVB-T.
- Diese 12C-Belegung ist kein DR-Block. Der offizielle dänische DAB-Block 1 auf Kanal 12C ist für landesweite kommerzielle Programme; DR nutzt Block 2.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langwellensender_Lahti
- This is incorrect: Finnish broadcasting was already on air before Lahti’s long-wave station. Yle’s first radio programme was broadcast from Helsinki in September 1926.
- The date is wrong. The Winter War began on 30 November 1939, not in 1940.
- The shutdown date is wrong. The official museum history says Lahti’s AM station went silent in May 1993, not on 31 March 1993.
- This overstates when museum use began. The site was managed by a museum foundation from 1993, but the Radio and TV Museum moved into the former AM station in 1997 and opened to the public there in May 1998.

- The 12% figure is for Earth’s crust, not the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the upper mantle, which is dominated by olivine and pyroxene, so quartz is not ~12% of the lithosphere by mass.
- These percentages are crustal mineral abundances, not lithosphere-wide abundances. The lithosphere includes the upper mantle, which is largely peridotite rich in olivine and pyroxene.

- PTB’s own documentation says 2003 involved only field tests of fictive warning messages, not ongoing operational use of those bits for civil-defence alerts.
- PTB says bits 1–14 were used for weather information, while population warnings were only a possible future use and had not been adopted.
- The PZF sequence is not added to DCF77’s amplitude modulation; PTB describes it as pseudorandom modulation of the carrier phase.

- The Shangqiu BPC station was not operating from April 2002. NTSC says the Shangqiu station was founded in 2006, trial-broadcast in 2007, and formally began external broadcasting on January 1, 2008.
- 05:00 to 08:00 is a 3-hour window, not 4 hours. NTSC material also describes 05:00–08:00 as the station's maintenance shutdown period and separately says BPC broadcasts 21 hours per day.

- This trade description reverses the cash flow and skips a later draft-pick swap. Buffalo sent Portland cash, and Buffalo’s 1978 first-rounder became the No. 3 pick, not the No. 1 pick used on Mychal Thompson.
- Portland’s last regular-season game against the Lakers was on April 9, 1977, not April 10.
- Game 2 of the Denver series was played on April 22, 1977, not April 23.

- Game 2 of the Nuggets–Trail Blazers series was played on April 22, 1977, not April 23.
