That fails right on the first line:
Create a new wikipedia account (remembering of course to inform Arbcom per WP:Multiple Accounts by emailing (arbcom-l-at-lists.wikimedia.org)
If this test is to be meaningful they should do it from a computer and IP that has not been used for WP work in the past.
If you read past the first line, you'll see that having an IP that has been used for WP work in the past doesn't seem to be helping them any-- the vast majority of articles are marked for deletion within minutes, sometimes within seconds.
So, then the bit about having duplicate accounts can be dropped.
