At DConf'24 last year, we ran a Phobos golf contest, where participants 
hunted for the most succinct solutions to 8 toy problems.

As I had been experimenting with GPT-5 anyway, I used the opportunity to 
finally publish the results.

The page shows the evolution of scores over time as well as the 
evolution of the most succinct correct submissions over time for each 
task. In the tabs corresponding to each task, you can view the best 
submissions by clicking on the events in the plot or by manually 
expanding the spoilers.

The contest rules and task statements are included to make the page 
self-contained.

pages. The raw data is embedded as JSON.
