The correct answer is false. It was the first time I watched and I was amazed at the poor wording, also. It is almost a double negative. I had to take the "NOT" out and then reverse my answer: Fiction books are assigned numbers in the Dewey Decimal System. This is, of course, true- all fiction books are technically in the 800s in Dewey's system as literature. So that must mean putting the "NOT" in the question changes the answer to "false". Personally, I told my husband that this either proved that the show was rigged (please, how many students know that fiction books are technically 800s in the Dewey system even though many/most libraries do not catalog them that way?) OR it proves how badly the question was worded.
