But starting with jun-1-kyu, the questions appear to be very skewed

Why on earth is this? Why don't they just make it a different test? It
would be nice to bust my ass and try to get the highest kyu possible,
but I don't want to study for the 1-kyu problems, which are, frankly,
totally useless for people living in modernity.

I assume it's to present a real challenge for kanji-nerds, who might
otherwise complain that 1-kyu is just too easy.

Even so, on one of the "You Think You Know Kanji?" shows on TV a
couplathree years ago, one of the guests brought in to impress the
"talents" was a woman who had passed 1-kyu 13 times....
