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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
The central sphere and differentiated cyan/crimson interaction are supported. The tiny highlighted object above the sphere provides partial airborne-black evidence. The few isolated sphere and panel images preserve limited optical relationships, but most of the repeating mirror-room structure is missing. Core score: 64.5/170; including the floor-damage reward: 64.5/180.

A spinning metal sphere and paint in a mirrored room test physical reasoning, perspective and consistency across repeated reflections.
Visual construction and creative interpretation.


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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
A coherent ornamental illustration with balanced framing, appealing color and legible magical accessories. The disconnected raised wrist, incorrect raised-arm side and palm orientation, bear-like facial proportions and shallow material modeling limit execution. Clean decoration and compact spatial balance remain strengths.

A floating capybara in ornate robes tests character anatomy, layered fabric and the placement of surrounding luminous forms.
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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
A recognizable, cohesive Mona Lisa interpretation with readable landscape layers and a restrained expression. Continuous body construction and clean contours support readability, but broad hands, simplified drapery, frontal symmetry and limited facial volume keep the execution basic and uneven.

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
A strong stylized beach illustration with coherent sunset color, lively dolphin arcs and balanced activity. Clean contours, readable ground contact and an aligned reflection support the finish. Schematic anatomy, sparse small-subject features, flat materials and repetitive water highlights limit physical depth and refinement.

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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
The riding arrangement and steering action are readable, supported by coherent visible attachments and useful character details. Clean shapes, strong color separation and clustered foam make the scene appealing and active. Stiff anatomy, crowded controls, limited directional lighting and simple surface treatments constrain sophistication.

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.
Qwen3.8-Max-0902
An appealing graphic illustration with a recognizable pelican, readable bicycle and clean coastal composition. Steering contact and one connected pedal support the action. Ambiguous neck-to-torso construction, an unclear opposing pedal connection, shallow space and limited material and lighting effects constrain its execution.
