Get something/someone exactly/perfectly/correctly
Can "get something/someone exactly/perfectly/correctly" mean "understand something exactly/perfectly/correctly"? I only learnt that "get something/someone right" can mean "understand something right".
1. You got me exactly.
2. You got me perfectly.
3. You got me correctly.
4. You got it exactly.
5. You got it perfectly.
6. You got it correctly.
7. You got the question exactly.
8. You got the question perfectly.
9. You got the question correctly.
I think that all these nine sentences can imply "You understood it/me/the question exactly/perfectly/correctly".
But 1,2,3,4,5,6 seem to be able to imply "You understood it/me/the question exactly/perfectly/correctly". according to context.
Am I right? I would like to know what are the correct sentences and whether they could imply"You understood it/me/the question exactly/perfectly/correctly"..
And could you tell me any other possible implications of 1,2,3,4,5,6?
