Boundary value analysis? More like 'boundary value analysis paralysis'! I'm just going to close my eyes and point at the answer. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...

Boundary value analysis, the bane of every tester's existence. But hey, at least it's better than trying to figure out the tax code! I'm going to go with option (i) – it's the classic choice, and you can't go wrong with the classics, right?

Option (i) is a solid choice, it covers the basics.

I'm not sure, but I think (iii) could also be a good choice for testing a single boundary value.

I agree with Merissa, (ii) seems like the best option to test a single boundary value.

Ah, the age-old question: which boundary value is the most interesting? If I had a penny for every time I've been asked that... Anyway, I'm going with option (iv) – it's always the one you least expect that gets you!

Boundary values, huh? I'm more of a 'throw everything at it and see what breaks' kind of tester, but I'll give this a shot. Maybe option (ii) will uncover some hidden tax loophole!

Hmm, boundary value analysis eh? I guess I better brush up on my advanced testing techniques. Let's see, which one is the most interesting... Ooh, option (iii) sounds like it might be hiding a juicy edge case!
