This is the answer.
* Sacrificial account crawls all the questions and puts them in queue
* Team members pull questions one by one - and push answers back
* Leader fills out answers as soon as the current one comes in (assuming you can't jump backwards/forwards)
As long as the people are good enough at these kinds of tests, you'll win. It'll probably end up being a battle of 10+ teams that work like this
- fallingknife 5y agoYou will need some error checking though. There is no trade off between accuracy and time here. Someone will get a 1600 and then if your team misses one you lose. Maybe each queued question goes to 3 people and unless all agree it goes to everyone's queue for vote.

- lbotos 5y agoYou have humans do the actual work, where computers are just there for faster organization of human effort: an app with two queues: - those who input questions by copy and pasting them into an app or transcribing them, or speech to text -- apple offers all of these to iOS users in plain ol textboxes as far as I'm aware. - those who solve by reading from the app and submitting answers. Have N inputters getting all of the questions Have M solvers solving This builds your answer bank. Have someone submit from the answer bank with a text based search.
- electroly 5y agoThe "system" could be a shared Google Doc. I'm not sure you'd even want anything more complicated than that. The level of automation required here doesn't extend beyond copy-paste. The sacrificial account "crawl" is a human being with Google Docs open.

- jandrese 5y agoMaybe pulls a question and distributes it to the group, everyone answers, leader chooses the most popular answer. If you have to enter answers one at a time anyway there isn't as much opportunity to parallelize the task. You might get some win from the reading comprehension questions, but even then being 100% right is priority #1, as you can assume there will be multiple teams that get perfect scores.
