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.

Gemini 4 Argon
The central sphere, separate airborne black blob, flattened cyan contact and displaced crimson aftermath support the principal camera and physical-state requirements. Open lateral lanes and initial reflection placements provide partial optical structure, but missing outer chains, sparse nested imagery and incomplete emitter mappings remain substantial limitations. The raised crimson mass also weakens paint-scale fidelity.
MiniMax M3
The centered sphere, aligned left wall image, smaller lower-left continuation and partially occluded floor image provide recognizable local mirror coherence. Cyan remains airborne, the main sphere resembles white marble, and missing right-side imagery, recursive optics and panel mappings leave the scene substantially incomplete.

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


Gemini 4 Argon
An appealing, controlled illustration with a distinctive buoyant silhouette, expressive comic face and rich luminous colour. The full composition and grounded slipper read clearly. The principal limitation is the crowded raised-foot interaction: paws, toes and lining overlap without making the bent leg or tight fit unmistakable.
MiniMax M3
The oversized coral M silhouette dominates clearly, with an expressive charcoal face and appealing miniature body. Limbs connect coherently and the cube reads clearly. The lowered left hand only loosely suggests the requested hip pose. Thin highlights and simple gradients provide limited sculptural volume; the cube's glow and grounding shadow are restrained.

Gemini 4 Argon
A luminous little dragon struggles with its bedtime slippers while a buoyant tail pulls it upward. The scene tests expressive anatomy, physical contact and the contrast between translucent forms and heavy objects.
MiniMax M3
A small robot with an oversized angular head presents a glowing object. The scene tests character proportions, gesture and contrasting materials.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Gemini 4 Argon
A coherent, moderately complex Mona Lisa reconstruction with substantial portrait volume, articulated clothing and landscape recession. Specific source features support replication beyond recognition alone. Altered facial likeness, uncertain crossed-hand anatomy and pervasive colored crackle keep the result uneven despite its developed shading and detail.
MiniMax M3
The centered portrait, dark hair and muted palette suggest Mona Lisa, but characteristic likeness and pose are poorly reproduced. The broad oval face lacks her subtle smile; rounded shoulders and a lone mittenlike hand leave the crossed-arm construction unresolved. Warm shading supplies some volume, while blurred landscape bands, generic clothing and indistinct features limit the drawing.

An SVG interpretation of the Mona Lisa tests facial likeness, anatomy and the composition of a familiar portrait.
Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


Gemini 4 Argon
A strong decorative beach illustration with controlled color, intricate silhouettes and abundant playful detail. Connected dolphin forms and recognizable equipment support its construction, while the aligned sunset reflection anchors the scene. Compressed wave depth, ambiguous foreground support and uneven reflection specificity limit physical coherence. The saved comparisons support retaining the category assessments.
MiniMax M3
A cheerful, coherent sunset illustration with framing palms, warm gradients and an aligned sun reflection. Animals and beach toys add character, but their construction remains basic. The sailboat appears suspended above the water horizon, while absent cast shadows weaken foreground contact. Clean geometric shapes provide polish without substantial texture or depth.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


Gemini 4 Argon
An accomplished illustration with expressive characters, intricate spray and strong depth. Direct back seating, steering connections and hull-water contact are only partly demonstrated. Clean graphic execution and purposeful detail remain strengths, while shadows and reflections provide limited physical grounding.
MiniMax M3
The raccoon sits above the dog's back, and the dog reaches toward the jet ski controls. Expressive faces and a vivid sunset make the scene appealing. Construction is simplified: the dog's paws and steering grip are ambiguous, the hull is shallow, and blurred wake patches give limited water displacement. Sunset glow exceeds the lighting modeled on the riders.

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.


Gemini 4 Argon
An expressive, detailed illustration with controlled gradients and coherent environmental depth. Continuous body contours and connected bicycle components establish competent construction. Steering grip and pedal engagement remain less explicit than the decorative details and wheel placement. These contact uncertainties limit action and placement credit without establishing broken anatomy.
MiniMax M3
The pelican's long bill, pouch and curved neck read clearly, and the warm sunset gives the composition appeal. Bicycle construction weakens the riding action: feet do not convincingly engage the pedals, crank connections are unclear, and body support is unresolved. Clean silhouettes and orderly spokes provide a competent illustrative finish.
