This is for everyone else's benefit:
33. The pointed tips of a pick, swung into armor to pierce it _____ (1)
34. The spike at the back (perpendicular to haft) of a Halberd, swung into gaps of enemy's armor _____ (2)
35. The Spike at the top of a halberd, thrust into gaps of enemy armor _____ (3)
36. The Blade of a Halberd, used to hack at limbs _____ (4)
37. The tip of a spetum (Spear with bladed hilt), thrust into gaps of enemy armor _____ (5)
38. The blade of a spetum, thrust into limbs to slice them _____ (6)
39. The point of the blade of a spetum, swung into armor to pierce it. _____ (7)

That's all the information you need. Thrust vs. Swung. This is a very basic test of the defenitions of Red/Blue vs. Green. I thought the pics would help, apparently they don't so I took them out. And if you need to know, the blade of a halberd is swung.

while the main reason was to stab the other part was made to "slice" so in essence makin it a blue/red while you said it was a green, yes it was designed as a green but would need to be tested as a blue/red.

That's actually not true. Wether the weapon is intended to "slice" or "stab" is irrelevant to color classification. All that matters is where the striking edge is in relation to the haft or handle. If they are paralell (thrusting weapon) they are green. If they are perpendicular (swung) they are blue/red (depending on size). I removed the pictures, because I think they weren't helping, but were instead causing more confusion.

how it's made is also how it would need to be tested,

I can't tell what your point is with this comment, I'm sorry. Thrust weapons are greens, Swung are reds or blues. How they're constructed doesn't change that.

Either way, this is why the test should be administered with someone there to answer questions about the questions, as well as to keep the test-taker honest.

how it's made is also how it would need to be tested, like on one it had mutiple forks stickin out, while the main reason was to stab the other part was made to "slice" so in essence makin it a blue/red while you said it was a green, yes it was designed as a green but would need to be tested as a blue/red. and also how weapons look like dag style and actually style (such as how they would be tested as to what they where actually used for) are differen't some of the time is my point.
