Legal · Question 85 of 100

What “Urinated in public?” means

Item 85 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Urinated in public?”. Here is what the wording covers, where readers reasonably disagree about it, and exactly how much it moves your score.

Adult and sensitive content

The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

What the question is asking

Item 85 opens the legal category by asking whether you have urinated in public. It is the mildest item in that category and the one most likely to have happened without any consequence at all, though it is a minor offence in most jurisdictions.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether an isolated outdoor setting counts is the usual question. The item says public, so a hiking trail with nobody around is read as not counting by many takers, while a city street clearly is. There is no definition either way.

The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.

How item 85 fits with the items around it

Items 85 to 87 are the mild end of the legal block — public urination, streaking, and breaking into a pool after hours — before the checklist moves to property offences at 88 to 90 and police contact at 91 to 95. It is the gentlest possible entry into the category.

Item 84, before this one Done something you regretted while drunk? Item 86, after this one Gone streaking?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 85 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.

Final score = 100 − total checked boxes

The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.

Questions about item 85

Does an isolated outdoor spot count as public?

Takers differ. A hiking trail with nobody around is generally not counted; a street or a car park clearly is.

Is item 85 actually illegal?

In most jurisdictions it is a minor offence. The checklist does not assess legality, and item 85 is grouped with legal experiences on that basis.

What is the legal block?

Items 85 to 95, covering public behaviour, property offences, and contact with the police. It is eleven items long.
