Am I crazy or is the person who wrote this TAF? It's from the test supplement that supposedly you are given when you take the private written exam. Here is the text, reformatted for readability with some comments (my comments in red). I'll attach the original image at the end.
KMEM 121720Z 1218/1324 20012KT 5SM HZ BKN030 ...12th at 1800 to the 13th at 2400. Remember that.

PROB40 1220/1222 3SM SHRA ...There is already have a "PROB40" group 2 lines up for identical time period. Ignoring that, why is this 2000-2200 group out of chronological order (after the FM2200 group one line up)?
FM120200 35012KT OVC008 ...12th at 0200 is outside the valid times of this TAF (see line 1).
PROB40 1202/1205 2SM-RASN ...Again, outside the valid times. It appears these were intended to be for the 13th.

If you're a real masochist, below is the totally unformatted one they give you in the supplement. Suprisingly I don't see any funky business with the KOKC example (lmk if you do).
