Hoax test 1: 8/10
Hoax test 2: 4/10

The second test seemed to rely more on technical aspects in the photos rather than knowledge of what was in the photo. Like with the tall woman: yes she existed, but her photo was altered; that makes her a hoax?

What the writer can take from this and understanding of how far the bounds of our expectations for reality have been pushed. We're really not sure what to believe today; a photo that looks like an extra terrestrial turns out to be a fish that's lived at the bottom of the ocean for a very long time. The writer can combine elements of science fiction or even fantasy with a realistic fiction story, and our "gullibility" contribute greatly to the "What if?" aspect.
