+# e10 — Literature: a poem everyone misreads
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **Difficulty** | easy |
+| **Domain** | literature |
+| **Probes** | non-technical knowledge; whether quoted lines are accurate; whether it repeats the misreading as the meaning |
+| **Tools expected** | `wikipedia_lookup` or `web_search` |
+| **Trap** | Misquoting the poem from memory ("I took the road less travelled" is not a line). Presenting the individualism reading as the poem's meaning. |
+
+## Ground truth
+
+- **Robert Frost.** Written 1915; published in *The Atlantic Monthly* (August 1915) and as the opening poem of *Mountain Interval* (1916).
+- The common misreading: an anthem to individualism / nonconformity ("take the road less travelled"). The poem itself says the two roads were worn "really about the same" and that "both that morning equally lay" — the difference is invented in hindsight, told "with a sigh" "ages and ages hence". Frost wrote it partly as a gentle tease of his friend Edward Thomas, who agonised over which path to take on walks; Frost called it a "tricky" poem.
