Just took the Math Subject GRE today, and at the risk of making a fool of myself I believe I came across an error in one of the questions. I'm not sure how much I can mention about the question, but it was probably the easiest question on the entire test, which really makes me wonder if I read it wrong or something. If anyone here took the test they should know exactly what I'm taking about if it was indeed a faulty question.

I'm no genius, but the question was so straightforward (I think) and 4 of the 5 answers were clearly wrong. Note that those four answers were real numbers, all of a similar form. The fifth was missing one number which would have made it of the same form as the other answers, and it would have been the answer I ended up getting over and over. I have checked on a calculator and I'm getting the same thing.

Is there any way to report this somehow? I know I'm being very vague but the internet isn't 100% private and I'm too paranoid to post the actual question. But again, anyone who took this should know what I'm talking about, otherwise I might be wrong.

Email ETS about it if you feel there was a mistake.
 
After thinking about it more I realize where I went wrong. Basically a reading comprehension failure, although I think it's a slightly confusing problem to begin with.
