It struck me that germ theory demands at least one question is overhauled. Yet, how would you have tested someone on the preparation for scientifically investigating germ theory?

It’s a bit on the nose and does not address the causes of the lampooned state of affairs, but what makes that video even more terrifying is that it was made 8 years ago, not today.

The acting and production value was pretty good, for an indie short movie, but I'm not sure I understand what they are lampooning. Are there actually math classes even remotely like what was depicted? This seems like social criticism against something that is not actually happening.
It would be interesting to know what was the “right” answer to this in 1912.
