And now I’m a secret service special agent. I got this question right and I have been to Georgia.

Apparently you don't need to be very smart to work for the Secret Service.

As an Indian who faces employment issues in home country, I can safely apply for Secret Service after this test

That was actually easy to understand when you get used to tricky questions

One doesn't need to be that smart to be a special agent. - TRUE

Why would they feel the need to ask a question like this? Have they accidentally been hiring 4 year olds and intellectually challenged individuals? Asking what 3+5 is equal to would accomplish the same thing and be more efficient.

The way that I solved it was it asked for who Frank worked for, not who he worked with

Isn't this wrong? It never says Frank or Stacy are Special Agents so Stacy definitely isn't a special Agent because she hasn't been to Georgia and Frank is the one that needs more information.

shouldn't number 2 be not enough info? it states that All secret service special agents have been to Georgia, not everyone who has been to Georgia is a S.S.S.A.

Most civil service examinations are logic-based, similar to the older versions of the SHSAT, where it is useful to write down the information of scrap paper in the form of a diagram to made a valid conclusion.

I couldn‘t even follow the solution the first time…

Reminds me of basic programming in the back of math textbooks from the '80s

That guide also gives this example:

Example Statement: All Secret Service Special Agents are U.S. government employees.
Invalid conclusion: All government employees are Secret Service Special Agents.
Valid conclusion: Some U.S. government employees are Secret Service Special Agents.

But the 'Valid' conclusion isn't logically valid! There might be no Secret Service Special Agents whatsoever.

I think you mispronounced Stacy because you had to say Frank in the last part I think

Is this Georgia as in
- one of the States of the union
- the country that used to be one of the republics of the Soviet Union
- an island in the South Atlantic

You are wrong! It is said that Stacy has never been to Georgia, but it is not said that she even works in secret service. Everything said about Stacy is only that she has never been to Georgia
