I feel like Vashenka did pretty well, but I'm not sure if the judges will agree. She certainly didn't give straight answers to many of those questions.

I got asked most of those, but I don't remember Q4, Q5 or Q6. Maybe those depended on the answer to Q3.

The first round results are in.

So does anyone known what the "correct" answer is for the question about how to describe color to a blind man?

The correct answer is one indistinguisahable from what a human interlocutor would give. If it looks like an automated response sent in reaction to some combination of words in the question, it's probably incorrect.

I don't think there is a better answer than the one Fizzy gave.

My bot did pretty poorly. Maybe 10 points.

I blew it too. Just remember there is always next year!
