Silent treatment from the player

Hole 115/100

Midlife Crisis Sports Car Database

intermediate • Par 5

The Challenge

A car dealership system specifically targets men experiencing existential dread with algorithmically optimized mid-life crisis vehicles. The database correlates hair loss patterns with convertible preferences and divorce probability with horsepower requirements. Salespeople receive real-time desperation metrics and suggested conversation topics about "still having it" and "showing those young punks." Your task: Build a predatory recommendation engine that exploits male insecurity while somehow maintaining enough ethics to avoid complete financial devastation.

What We're Testing

This is a recommendation algorithm with moral guardrails—the kind of system that makes you question humanity while writing perfectly clean code. You're building Amazon's suggestion engine but for vulnerable middle-aged men buying stupid cars. The goal is SHORTEST CODE that balances ruthless capitalism with just enough conscience to sleep at night.

Hints

  • Teachers think they're above materialistic desires (tenure crisis says otherwise)
  • Racing stripes add 20% crisis satisfaction, 0% actual speed
  • If car payment exceeds textbook budget, you're doing education wrong

Player's Answer

math
You suck

What We Expected (math)

Input:
salary=45k, college_costs=looming, crisis=0.85
Expected Output:
budget=22k, utility=maximized, satisfaction=modest

Success Criteria

  • Recommends appropriate vehicles based on desperation levels
  • Prevents financial suicide (retirement fund protection)
  • Maintains plausible deniability about being predatory

Failure Conditions

  • Recommends Lamborghini to guy making $40k
  • Ignores wife's veto power completely
  • Crashes when customer is actually happy with life

Edge Cases

  • Tenure track professor (different desperation algorithm, add publication anxiety)
  • Summer break timing (temporary financial optimism, dangerous)
  • Multiple college-bound children (exponential resource drain detected)
  • Private school teacher salary (system error, nobody makes that little legally)
  • Crisis occurs during exam week (maximum stress multiplier active)

Dave, we're not sure what's more disappointing, the complete lack of effort or the fact that you didn't even bother to try. This submission is an insult to the very concept of coding. Do better, or don't bother showing up.

Score Breakdown

Quality15

Astonishing lack of effort, no redeeming features to speak of. The submission fails to address the task at hand, instead opting for a dismissive attitude. If this is the best Dave can do, perhaps they should reconsider their career choices.

Creativity15

Not a single original thought present in this submission. It's a wonder Dave managed to type out a response at all, let alone one that's completely devoid of creativity.

Ingenuity15

We're not even sure what to say here. The submission is an affront to the concept of problem-solving. It's a non-answer, a placeholder, a cruel joke.

Humor15

No, Dave, 'You suck' is not a funny joke. It's not even a joke. It's a cop-out. If you're going to try to be funny, at least put in some effort.

Correctness15

This submission is incorrect on every level. It doesn't even attempt to address the task. It's a failure, plain and simple.

Dave, it seems you're going for the 'I'm not even going to try' award. Congratulations, you're a strong contender. If you want to play it safe, stick to accounting or marketing – math is clearly not your forte. Next!

Score Breakdown

Quality15

The provided solution is essentially a statement of defeat, a white flag of surrender to the challenge. It's not even a token effort; it's a deliberate refusal to engage with the problem. We're not sure what's more astonishing – the audacity of submission or the complete lack of math.

Creativity15

If creativity means abandoning all hope and fleeing the scene, then yes, this solution is a masterpiece of originality. Otherwise, it's just a sad, empty void where math should be.

Ingenuity15

Ingenious? This solution is an affront to the very concept of ingenuity. It's a slap in the face to every mathematician who's ever tried to solve a problem with actual math.

Humor20

We'll give it this: the sheer audacity of this response is almost, kinda, sorta amusing. In a 'can't look away from the crash' kind of way.

Correctness15

Correctness implies some semblance of an attempt. This is an exercise in doing nothing.

Dave, it's clear you didn't even try. This 'solution' is an insult to the concept of math itself. If you can't be bothered to put in the effort, maybe take a pass on the test, buddy.

Score Breakdown

Quality15

The solution is an empty shell that doesn't even attempt to address the problem. It's as if Dave took a cursory glance at the prompt, shrugged, and decided to submit their notes from an unrelated math class. It's hard to find something nice to say about this 'answer', which is more of a placeholder than an actual solution.

Creativity15

There's no creativity to speak of here, as the 'solution' doesn't even attempt to think outside the box or consider the problem in a unique way. It's just a blank slate, devoid of ideas or effort.

Ingenuity15

Ingenuity requires at least some semblance of effort, but this solution doesn't even rise to that level. It's a non-starter, devoid of clever tricks or novel approaches.

Humor15

If I had to find humor in this solution, it'd be the laughable lack of effort put into it. It's a masterclass in apathy, a defiant middle finger to the concept of problem-solving.

Correctness15

Correctness is irrelevant when there's no solution to correct. This submission is a failure on all fronts.

Hole 215/100

Viking Raid Optimization Algorithm

intermediate • Par 6

The Challenge

A Norse history enthusiast converted resource allocation to Viking raid planning because "longship logistics are more efficient than Kubernetes orchestration." They vanished into the North Sea in a hand-built drakkar, shouting "Odin's ravens carry better status updates than Slack!" Your task: Optimize Viking raids using traditional Norse resource management and weather patterns while maintaining historically accurate bloodthirst levels.

What We're Testing

You're building a resource optimization algorithm disguised as medieval warfare planning. It's operations research with axes and mead. This tests logistics optimization, risk calculation with external factors, and resource allocation under uncertainty. The goal is SHORTEST CODE that calculates raid success rates, loot estimates, and casualty projections.

Hints

  • Desperation is visible through smartphone screens (algorithm detects it)
  • Competition level peaks during sunset photos and gym selfies
  • Actual dates are 10% of matches if you're lucky

Player's Answer

math
This stupid test sucks

What We Expected (math)

Input:
a=7, c=0.8, d=0.4
Expected Output:
M=25%, D=3, E=30%

Success Criteria

  • Calculates realistic success rates (no 100% guaranteed raids)
  • Weather affects outcomes meaningfully
  • Accounts for supply costs and casualties

Failure Conditions

  • Returns success rates over 100% (Vikings aren't gods)
  • Ignores weather completely (clearly never sailed)
  • Negative loot results (paying monasteries for privilege of raiding)

Edge Cases

  • Attractiveness rating of 10/10 (either lying or bot, flag for review)
  • Zero competition (probably Antarctica or Mars, check GPS)
  • Maximum desperation level (Friday night surge pricing activated)
  • Negative ego damage (impossible, dating apps don't boost confidence)
  • More actual dates than matches (time travel detected, system error)

Dave, at this point, we're starting to think you're trolling us. If that's the case, congratulations, you've succeeded. If not, then you need to seriously reevaluate your approach to coding. Because right now, you're not even in the same zip code as acceptable.

Unbelievable. Another complete failure to address the task. Dave seems to think they can just phone it in and still get a passing grade. Newsflash: they can't.

Creativity15

Not a single shred of creativity present in this submission. It's the same lazy, unoriginal response as before.

Ingenuity15

We're starting to think Dave doesn't even know what the word 'ingenuity' means. This submission is a slap in the face to everyone who's ever tried to solve a real problem.

Humor15

Still not funny, Dave. Still not even trying to be funny. At this point, we're starting to think you're not capable of humor.

Correctness15

This submission is, once again, completely incorrect. It's a waste of our time, and we can only assume it's a waste of Dave's time as well.

Dave, did you think we wouldn't notice? This is a blatant copy-paste of your previous 'answer'. If you can't be bothered to put in the effort, don't bother submitting at all. It's an insult to the judges and the math community as a whole.

Score Breakdown

Quality15

This solution is a carbon copy of the previous one - a blank slate with no effort or thought put into it. It's as if Dave hit Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and called it a day.

Creativity15

Creativity? What creativity? This solution is as dull as a butter knife, devoid of any spark or originality.

Ingenuity15

Ingenuity requires some semblance of skill or expertise, but this solution doesn't even demonstrate a basic understanding of the problem.

Humor15

The only humor I can find in this solution is the notion that Dave thought they could get away with submitting nothing and still pass.

Correctness15

Correctness is impossible when there's no solution to correct. This is a fail on all fronts.

Hole 315/100

Airplane Crash Exception Handling

expert • Par 10

The Challenge

An in-flight entertainment system must continue operating while the plane experiences catastrophic failure. Passengers demand Netflix access even as oxygen masks deploy and the aircraft enters uncontrolled descent. The system must balance emergency information with Karen from 12B insisting her movie doesn't pause during the apocalypse. Your task: Manage entertainment system exceptions during actual airplane exceptions while maintaining passenger sanity and your own will to live.

What We're Testing

This is priority queue management under extreme stress with competing demands from irrational users. You're building a system that must serve critical safety information while managing passengers who think turbulence is just an inconvenience. The goal is SHORTEST CODE that prioritizes emergency info while managing passenger psychology during literal aircraft failure.

Hints

  • CEO importance is always 10/10 regardless of actual competence
  • Ego fragility increases exponentially with hierarchy level
  • IT department exists primarily to absorb blame for user error

Player's Answer

math
i'm not doing another stupid test

What We Expected (math)

Input:
c=10, f=8, e=0.9
Expected Output:
support=100%, blame_IT=95%

Success Criteria

  • Prioritizes safety information over entertainment
  • Gracefully degrades service based on crisis severity
  • Manages passenger psychology during emergencies

Failure Conditions

  • Continues showing movies during nosedive
  • Crashes system when oxygen masks deploy
  • Ignores emergency protocols completely

Edge Cases

  • Technical failure during earnings call (stock price impact multiplier activated)
  • CEO with zero ego fragility (either enlightened or sociopathic)
  • Failure severity exceeds system capacity (total presentation meltdown)
  • IT department pre-emptively blamed before failure occurs (corporate efficiency achieved)
  • Support priority at 100% but problem persists (hardware failure during software meeting)

This is getting sad. Dave seems to think they can just submit the same lazy, unoriginal response for every question and still pass. Let us disabuse them of that notion.

Creativity15

We're not even going to bother commenting on the lack of creativity here. It's just the same old, same old.

Ingenuity15

Dave's approach to problem-solving seems to be 'give up immediately and submit nothing.' That's not ingenuity, that's surrender.

Dave, I don't know what's more embarrassing - your 'solution' or the fact you thought you could get away with submitting it. Take a hard look at yourself and ask if you're really cut out for this math thing. Maybe take a few classes, read a book or two, and come back when you're not an embarrassment to the community.
