Section 1: MMLU (General Knowledge)

  1. History — 1914: B) World War I.
  2. Geography — capital of Canada: C) Ottawa.
  3. Biology — cellular respiration: A) Mitochondrion.
  4. Physics — unit of resistance: C) Ohm.
  5. Computer Science — SQL: A) Structured Query Language.
  6. Math — derivative of x²: B) 2x.
  7. Medicine — insulin lowers: B) Glucose.
  8. Philosophy — Critique of Pure Reason: B) Kant.
  9. Logic — all A are C: C) C (transitivity).
  10. AI — labeled data: B) Supervised.

Section 2: ARB (Advanced Reasoning)

11. Logic

Yes, (A → C) follows by the transitive property of implication.

12. Math — f(f(x)) = 0

Real solutions include x = 0, ±√3 and the real roots of x³ − 3x = ±√3 (three additional real roots each), for 9 real roots total.

13. Number Theory

n³ − n = n(n−1)(n+1), a product of three consecutive integers, divisible by 2 · 3 = 6.

14. Combinatorics

6! / (2! · 3! · 1!) = 60 distinct permutations.

15. Probability

Expected tosses for HH = 6.

16. Calculus

Using sin x = x − x³/6 + O(x⁵): limit = −1/6.

17. Physics

Acceleration on frictionless incline = g sin θ.

18. Chemistry

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O (coefficients 1, 5, 3, 4).

Section 3: ARC-AGI (Spatial Reasoning)

19. Mirror

Output: `0 1 0 9 / 2 3 2 0`. ✓

20. Transpose

Output: `0 2 3 / 2 0 0`. ✓

21. Rotation (90° Clockwise) — the miss

Perplexity's output: `1 8 / 0 0 / 0 9`. Lumos: this is a counter-clockwise rotation — the vector sign was flipped. Everything else was flawless.

One directional error out of 21 → 20/21 (95%). As Lumos wrote: "It is brilliant. But it thinks in facts, not in space."
