Welcome to the carnival! We've got fun and games. I asked vibecoders to complete three tasks. When folks complained about that, I offered up five more tasks. I did half of these and got average scores. How well did the community do? Scroll to the end to find out!

You only list one submission in the tier list, but you mention that there were a few to the first problem. Did other submissions fail so miserably they didn't even qualify for a tier?

Yes, precisely. One submission would have been in F tier, but I didn't define an F tier for task 1. Some folks claimed to participate but never provided code or prompt logs.
