  • \$\begingroup\$ You should probably specify the consistent falsy output must be distinct from the consistent truthy output ;-) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @JanDvorak That should be implied by them being Truthy and Falsey respectively. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Not really. "truthy" and "falsy" are just two labels that you're letting us define. I can see no restriction they be actually truthy or falsy respectively in the language we use. The only word that may require them to be distinct is the "indicating" verb. I'm not sure it counts as a spec (it's still forbidden as a standard loophole, though). \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @JanDvorak 'truthy' and 'falsy' are actually somewhat common terms if I'm not mistaken basically used to describe things (not necessarily bools) that evaluate to true or false when typed to bools. For example 0 is generally falsy and 1 is generally truthy. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @JanDvorak Nope, Truthy/Falsey has to match correct/incorrect. \$\endgroup\$
