Do you believe some animals deserve to die and go extinct?

For example, let's look at the giant panda. They refuse to breed and would literally do anything other than have sex. They purposely fuck themselves over by choosing to eat bamboo rather than anything else, something that is extremely poor in caloric and nutritional value. In fact, bamboo is such a poor choice of food that they spend nearly their waking hours eating. So much so that by the time a panda grows up to adult hood, they'd have already worn all their teeth down, causing them to be unable to eat and starve to death.

If you put 1 million pandas on a copy of Earth, they'd die out in less than 1 million years. The copy of Earth could have no predation, unlimited amount of bamboo, and 0 pollution and habitat destruction caused by humans. It wouldn't matter. They'd still go extinct by themselves.

So why do we protect them? Because they're cute?

How do i crack the pattern in MCQ question papers which are meant to filter every person who has not dedicated day and night preparing? The likelihood of me getting all the answers right randomly is 1/4^80 which are basically infinitesimal. Please drop a red pill or a string i can follow to something meaningful.
I realize there is a pattern because different peers of mine sediment at different layers in aptitude scoring, like the moderately intelligent but unprepared archetypes stop at 21/40 the dedicated at 38/40, etc. There are mean points around which different archetypes score.
Now how I ace one of these?

Post the best logical puzzles you have and anons try to solve it.

Call me fucking retarded, but in trying to answer whether pic related is a continuous function or not, what's stopping me from just setting the X of the top of the function as 1?

If I do then the function is linear, if I set it to anything else, then it's not, so I don't understand what the fuck i'm missing.
