The park may only have one rule, but the quiz has several , including disregarding exceptions to the rule. Yet there are people arguing here that rule shouldn’t count because they disagree with it. Even on a meta level, this is an interesting exploration of how people interpret rules.
This is always the way with these hypotheticals. People only disagree because they don't want to stick to the hypothetical. But the flip side of that, if you do stick to the hypothetical you also need to be clear that it is therefore of limited use in the real world. Is an ambulance in the park breaking the rule? Cleraly. Does that have any relevance to what we would expect to happen in the real world? Nope.
