## Workarounds

1. **** (95% success)
   ```
   Use element-wise operators: (s > 0) & (s < 10); for any: s.any()
   ```
2. **** (90% success)
   ```
   np.where(cond, a, b) for vectorized selection
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **** — Raises the same error for multi-element Series (90% fail)
- **** — Triggers the same ambiguity error (85% fail)
