Extension only, that why you put it outside.

But what should I ask him? And if he doesn't know what the referent
of {le tenfa be li 389017 bei li 1/3} is, shouldn't he rather
answer {le tenfa ku ki'a}?>

Well, ideally, ask him "Is Bill the cube root of 389017 years old?"  I would count "Say what?" or "I have no idea what the cube root of whatever you said is" and so on as effective "no"s , indicating that such was not his belief.
