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.

Inkling-Small
The sphere's apparent floor support, separate dark feature and broad paint ordering justify partial state credit. The major weakness is the largely missing mirror system: isolated side images and faint floor echoes do not establish repeated virtual rooms or curved spherical mapping. Downward framing, the oversized frontal panel, unresolved paint transport and satin surface appearance remain distinct limitations.
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.


Inkling-Small
The faces and dripping caps communicate a cute mushroom scene, but simple construction and weak spatial relationships limit the result. The defining foot-stamping action is unresolved, the flattering portrait is smaller than its painter, and the requested material contrasts are only partly conveyed.
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.

Inkling-Small
A recognizable but rudimentary Mona Lisa interpretation. Facial shading and subdued colors provide coherence, while the frontal blocklike torso, unresolved wrists, fingerless hands and shallow landscape substantially limit likeness, construction and 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.


Inkling-Small
A recognizable sunset beach with a clear focal sun and appealing color transitions. Connected fish silhouettes and layered scenery establish basic coherence. Primitive figures, ambiguous recreation, sparse descriptive detail and weak grounding limit construction and depth. The aligned reflection supplies a useful lighting cue, but shadows and material effects remain underdeveloped.
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.

Inkling-Small
Recognizable animals, readable accessories and an appealing sunset support a coherent basic cartoon. Rounded construction leaves joints, riding support and steering unresolved. Decorative gradients contribute atmosphere, but directional lighting, distinct materials and convincing water displacement are weakly demonstrated.
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.

Inkling-Small
The pelican is immediately recognizable, and its sweeping neck, shaped bill and orderly spokes provide character. Riding remains only partially realized: legs, pedal engagement, steering and seat support cannot be read confidently. Controlled graphic effects add atmosphere, but simplified construction and weak grounding keep the result basic.
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.
