Player A has all his vampires in torpor and Player A's total pool is 3.
Player B is Player's A predator.
Player B announces a bleed for 4 with his vampire Lucian the Perfect.
Player A has the card Archon Investigation in hand.
Can player A play Archon Investigation on this bleed action?
1) No, as player A has only 3 pool the attempted bleed from Lucian the Perfect is only a bleed for 3, so Archon Investigation can't be played
2) Yes, the total of Victory points that player A gets on this game is not affected by playing or not playing Archon Investigation, player A is ousted after playing Archon Investigation. Lucian the Perfect is not burned. Player B gets 1 victory point and 6 pool
3) No, player A would die playing the Archon Investigation, playing the card would be against the Play to Win
4) Yes, the total of Victory points that player A gets on this game is not affected by playing or not playing Archon Investigation, player A is ousted after playing Archon Investigation. Lucian The Perfect is burned. Player B gets 1 victory point and 6 pool. CORRECT
Relevant cardtexts:
Name: Archon Investigation
Cardtype: Master
Cost: 3 pool
Out-of-turn. Only usable if a minion is bleeding you and the bleed amount is 4 or more, after blocks are declined.
Burn the acting minion. (The action is not successful.)
Name: Lucian, the Perfect
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Guruhi
Group: 4
Capacity: 11
Discipline: ANI AUS DOM OBF POT PRE
Laibon: Strikes against Lucian cost an additional blood or life. A minion opposing Lucian may choose not to strike. +3 bleed.
Correct.
As a side note, playing the Archon Investigation can help if a Life Boon is played (since it requires fewer pool to keep play A alive), but prevents Major Boon from being played.

this is a proposal of a question for the judge exam, so Ankha's correct was just to state that the question is valid and it is indicating the right answer as correct
