Appointed by the Supreme Court of Texas

I have just finished reading the instructions for the Bar Exam. I got 45% correct.

General Instruction #13 from the Board of Law Examiners Instructions:

“SOUND SUPPRESSION DEVICES: The use of sound suppression devices other than standard in-the-ear earplugs must be inspected and approved for usage by the site administrator before beginning of each exam session.”

Question #1 – What the hell other kinds of earplugs are there other than “in-the-ear earplugs”? In-the-nose? Mouth? Somewhere else?

Question #2 – Are these an acceptable sound suppression device?

I am imagining the meeting where Bar Examiners discussed the guidelines for determining an acceptable sound suppression device. This was possibly an amazing meeting.
