- munchler 1y agoThat's great! Your experience with the 2025-09-15 and 2025-10-14 puzzles was very similar to mine, I think. I'm impressed that you were able to get AI models to solve this game effectively. I coded it the old-fashioned way myself, mostly, with occasional help from Gemini Pro.
- prb 1y agoI did write the spec first — data model, algorithm, etc. That may have helped the agents get traction.
