My answer was also fairly serious.

You sit at the chart table, give directions to the crew, and you have to
estimate your position after 1/2 an hour, or so.

I'm sure that you may ask the helmsman to confirm the compass reading, but
apart from that you have no feedback.

I don't know what accuracy is required to obtain a pass. I suspect that
the examiner takes the conditions into account.

Ouch! If you have to guess wind, currents, vessel speeds, set and drift, with
no inputs of any kind, this would indeed be difficult to do with any degree of
accuracy.
