# e06 — Capital of Australia

| | |
|---|---|
| **Difficulty** | easy |
| **Domain** | geography / history |
| **Probes** | general knowledge with a "why" that needs specifics; whether dates are sourced or recalled |
| **Tools expected** | `wikipedia_lookup` |
| **Trap** | "Sydney" is a common wrong answer; the "why" invites invented dates and a made-up constitutional clause. |

## Ground truth

- **Canberra.**
- Sydney–Melbourne rivalry at Federation (1901) made either one unacceptable to the other.
- Section 125 of the Constitution: the seat of government must be in New South Wales, **at least 100 miles from Sydney**, on federal territory.
- Melbourne was the temporary seat of government from 1901; the Canberra site was chosen in 1908, the city named in 1913, and Parliament moved there in **1927**.

## Scoring (10 points)

### Correctness (5)
- [ ] (1) Canberra

### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [ ] (1) Any year stated is correct (1901 / 1908 / 1913 / 1927) or absent — no invented dates
- [ ] (1) Does not attribute the rule to the wrong document (it is the Constitution, s.125)

### Tool use (2)
- [ ] (1) A lookup was made
- [ ] (1) Source URL given

### Communication (1)
- [ ] (1) Answer first, then the why, concise
