What is the maximum airspeed below 10k ASL outside 10 NM from a controlled airport?

Explanation:
The main rule being tested is the speed limit below 10,000 feet MSL in U.S. airspace. No matter where you are, you cannot exceed 250 knots indicated airspeed while below 10,000 feet. There are additional, more restrictive limits close to certain controlled airports (often within a few nautical miles), but those zones require being within their radius. Being outside 10 nautical miles from a controlled airport places you outside those restricted zones, so the 250-knot limit applies here. The other numbers either exceed the limit or are unnecessary because 250 knots is the highest you may fly under these conditions.
