Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Crouton Alpha
The artwork establishes approximate central placement, a separate airborne black blob, and basic wall and floor sphere images. Its defining weaknesses are the largely absent recursive reflection system, missing emitter mappings, satin steel appearance and unresolved paint interaction. The black lateral wedges do not establish a separate viewport, and the hidden floor contact does not establish a gap. The category values remain unchanged.
GPT-6 Sol
The centered sphere, separate airborne black form and color ordering support scene recognition. Rounded shading and curved rims provide readable volume and gloss. Shrinking side images, a floor counterpart and curved lamp highlights provide isolated reflection cues, but broad bands and sparse repetitions leave nested room imagery, outer chains and ordered emitter mapping unsupported. Vertical framing departs from the prescribed view, while paint contact, transport and solid-metal appearance remain weak or uncertain.

Crouton Alpha
A cheerful, readable cartoon captures the crouton's signature expression and many specific accessories. Coherent cube geometry and foreground foreshortening support the selfie. Simple construction and flat material treatment limit its sophistication, while the tipping raft, advancing soup and unnoticed soaking remain insufficiently clear.
GPT-6 Sol
Six evenly spaced lobes, small outward-facing heads and a regular hexagonal opening make the motif immediately readable. The central angular band merges several intersections, weakening the alternating weave. Pale shading gives modest volume, but scales are sparse and repetitive, crossing shadows are weak, and the heads have limited anatomical definition.

Character scenes test expression, anatomy, materials and coherent visual construction.
GPT-6 Sol
A pale serpent woven into an interlocking knot tests connected anatomy, repeated structure and readable overlaps. Organic surface detail must work with the overall geometry.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Crouton Alpha
A recognizable, coherent simplification with readable eyes, a restrained smile and modest facial volume. Frontal symmetry, an oversized head, capsule-like hands and geometric scenery substantially limit likeness, anatomy and depth. Clean contours preserve basic integrity but do not establish sophisticated construction or finish.
GPT-6 Sol
A recognizable, coherent simplification with rounded facial shading, an asymmetric veil and readable forearm overlap. Selective eye, neckline, hair and bridge details enrich the broad shapes. The frontal pose, oversized face, schematic hands and limited fabric construction constrain replication and drawing complexity.

Crouton Alpha
A colorful, readable sunset beach scene with playful subjects and a clear central reflection. Purposeful equipment and animal details reward inspection, and the principal attachments remain intact. Basic geometric anatomy, mixed viewpoints and sparse directional shadows limit its construction and depth; smooth gradients provide atmosphere with little material differentiation.
GPT-6 Sol
A coherent sunset illustration with clear prompt fulfilment, varied readable details and controlled atmospheric colour. Connected animal silhouettes and supported equipment withstand inspection. Simplified anatomy, ambiguous animal depth, schematic reflections and weakly directional shadows constrain its physical sophistication.

Crouton Alpha
A readable cartoon with expressive faces, purposeful markings and clear water motion. Hull shading and an underside shadow establish modest depth. The dog contacts the controls, but the raccoon's frontal pose leaves its seated weight unresolved. Simple anatomy and limited shared perspective constrain the drawing.
GPT-6 Sol
The raccoon rides the dog's back, and the dog's connected foreleg reaches the steering grip. Expressive faces, a cohesive palette and sweeping wake make an appealing illustration. Vehicle construction and seating remain simplified; broad splash ribbons convey speed more convincingly than physical displacement. The sun has little corresponding reflection or effect on the subjects.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
Subject construction and spatial relationships.


Crouton Alpha
A recognizable, expressive pelican cyclist with purposeful feather and bicycle detail. Readable steering reach, connected machinery and modest body shading earn additional credit. Jointless legs, uncertain pedal engagement and unclear seated support keep the central action only partially resolved; shallow space and simple materials further limit the illustration.
GPT-6 Sol
The pelican reads clearly, with an expressive face, generous bill and appealing pastel composition. Spokes, basket weave and feather contours are carefully organized. Both legs connect to the body, though joint definition and pedal contacts are simplified. Consistent wheel placement and a ground shadow establish support; restrained shading gives limited volume.
