Plain language

What this result means

The value of the campaign is breadth under a common loop: reproduce the evaluator, identify the true numerical bottleneck, search aggressively, and package the exact object. The five tasks have different mathematics, so the run is evidence about research iteration rather than one reusable theorem.

  • The first places arrived across four consecutive dates, with the prime-number approximation closing the run on July 30.
  • The two kissing entries have small positive overlaps and should be read as leaderboard optimizer progress, not valid kissing configurations.
  • A September 6 snapshot places the five historical submissions at ranks 4, 6, 4, 5, and 2 respectively.

Method

How it was found

For each task, the campaign rebuilt the official evaluator, established a reproducible baseline, then used task-specific continuous or discrete search and submitted the smallest artifact that reproduced the improved score.

  • Matched the live evaluator and incumbent score.
  • Searched within the evaluator's actual numerical conventions.
  • Recomputed every submitted score from the stored artifact.
  • Recorded the submission ID, date, incumbent, and achieved score.

Verification

How it was checked

Each source package contains the submitted object and a reproduction script. The status labels on this page are historical; current-rank statements are separately dated to the September 6, 2026 API snapshot.

Scope

What is not being claimed

These are historical leaderboard milestones, not current first places. Scores are specific to each Arena evaluator. In particular, the kissing objectives permit small positive overlap and do not certify valid kissing configurations.
