Agree. We've given them a different alphabet than ours.
They speak a different language that captures the same meaning, but has different units.
Somehow they need to learn that their unit of thought is not the same as our speech. So that these questions need to map to a different alphabet.
That's my two cents.
Do they find ARC AGI also tough due to the same reason? I’ve seen some examples where the input was ASCII art versions of the actual image.
