Uniform scale family: a UMP two-sided test exists (misprinted hypotheses)

Let X1X_1 and X2X_2 be iid U(0,θ)U(0,\theta). The UMP test of size α\alpha to test H0:θ=θ1H_0:\theta=\theta_1 against H1:θ≠θ1H_1:\theta\ne\theta_1 is (x(2)=max⁡(X1,X2)x_{(2)}=\max(X_1,X_2); the booklet prints the hypotheses as "θ1=θ2\theta_1=\theta_2 against θ1≠θ2\theta_1\ne\theta_2"):
