The challenge appears to be to create an AI that can answer the most multiple choice questions correctly.

Here's some of the questions from the dataset:

• Which of these is inherited by a person from his or her parents? (A) short hair (B) long arms (C) pierced ears (D) scar on the leg

• Which object occupies the greatest amount of space? (A) a galaxy (B) a black hole (C) a neutron star (D) a solar system

• What is a similarity between sound waves and light waves? (A) Both carry energy. (B) Both travel in vacuums. (C) Both are caused by vibrations. (D) Both are traveling at the same speed.

There's an entry called "Guess All" that scored 25% as you might expect.

They provide a list of 14 million science-related sentences (presumably for training) but there's no requirement to rely solely on them to solve the challenge. The list has been scraped from web search results so looks quite noisy.

The failed attempts make it harder to monitor for other attacks because of the noise in log files, network traffic, etc. and if an attacker IP is blocked early they can't try more effective attacks.

>Headless fragments regenerated from familiarized worms displayed slightly shorter feeding latency compared with headless fragments from unfamiliarized worms ... However, the effect was not statistically significant.

So, no. But they do better with the refresher course than other worms if I understand correctly.

Keyword searches have become unreliable in Quantum for me; it often goes to the homepage of the search site instead. If this affects you too please file a bug report, thanks!
