After racking my brain, I wrote fairly crude approaches toward the murderbots and inference challenge. For the inference challenge in particular, I managed to achieve 1 for every input but then the notebook shut down as I went out for lunch, so I had to run the code again.
\nBoth of these approaches spammed the api a fair bit (small delays were put in, but still a few thousand times per method). I assumed the backend would have had some method to keep the spamming from getting too bad. However, now no matter which challenge I send a submission for I have connection issues. Does this mean I have been IP banned due to the spam?
\nIf so, can you give some level of benchmark for maximum number of reasonable responses (like 10 a minute)?
PS: All of the challenges are fairly unique right? I tried to employ a similar method to hotterdog as in theft out of desperation, but since it seems kinda dumb to be able to do the same thing on two challenges I assume hotterdog is testing a different creative method?
