Gemini 3.0 Pro Solved the Jane Street Puzzle
Three weeks ago I was trying out the December Jane Street Puzzle and I was unable to solve it. Naturally, let’s ask AI to solve it. Copied the puzzle and conversed with Gemini and it gave me a suboptimal solution and asked it to check its work. Its answer didn’t make any sense to me. I wrote it off. I checked on the morning of the first and lo and behold, GEMINI WAS RIGHT.
Gemini came up with the correct solution, accurately answering the puzzle that knowing the Java-lin thrower was actually a losing strategy. I let my ego and cognitive dissonance get the best of me and I didn’t trust it. AI is really starting to get good and we’re living in an amazing era in history.
