What happened on the course
Each range is one task with one answer and no retry. Every wrong or missing target is a miss and costs a penalty loop. The race time is thinking, running, shooting and loops together.
| # | Task | Targets | Hits | Thinking | Buzzer | Penalty loops | Range time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | River ferry (puzzle, level 1) | ✕✕✕✕✕ | 0 / 5 | 2.2 s | no | 5 (60.0 s) | 69.4 s |
| 2 | Painter (code, level 2) | ✕✕✕✕✕ | 0 / 5 | 0.5 s | no | 5 (60.0 s) | 67.7 s |
| 3 | Bench seating (puzzle, level 3) | ✕✕✕✕● | 1 / 5 | 0.4 s | no | 4 (60.0 s) | 67.6 s |
| 4 | Snake (code, level 4) | ✕✕✕✕✕ | 0 / 5 | 3.1 s | no | 5 (75.0 s) | 85.3 s |
● hit, ✕ miss. The range time runs from arriving at the mat to leaving the range, loops included. A buzzer means the thinking cap ran out and the game forced the answer.

Version: prompt version gauntlet-4, tasks bia-2, rules 1, prompt fingerprint 07fff686, tasks fingerprint c2c0f4f6, forced-answer style notes. Verified: the replay of the race log reproduces the end state and every code answer re-runs to the same verdict. Forced-answer style: how the game asks for the answer when the buzzer sounds (a prefilled answer start, or notes when the engine refuses that). Command and config are normalized: internal addresses appear as 127.0.0.1.
