The resolving solve was the December 7 puzzle which took $8 and 2.4 hours. Transcript is here.
I also have a solve on October 1 which doesn't qualify but shows that the solving is repeatable. And 2 failures on some more December puzzles that I'm still looking at.
But it has solved a single puzzle, as this market requires.
I believe I have a solve on the October 1 puzzle I was using to test my script. I have closed the 3 "Will GPT-4 solve any puzzle?" markets so that people don't trade on seeing my Github push. I still need to test a recent December puzzle before I can resolve them. I'll reopen the markets if it fails December.
@Mira I have left a comment on the main market with a transcript for the December 7 puzzle, which was solved using @EmilyThomas ' technique.

I will wait on resolving this market to people a chance to review it for mistakes, and so that I can test more puzzles.
@TamasSzelei Could just be timer running out combined with people freeing up mana for other things
@Tumbles I guess. I accepted my loss and I’m holding until the end. I’m honestly very surprised that it seems to work (and also slightly annoyed that it got a big uprade way after many of us bet NO, though I admit I still thought it won’t work with the extra context).
A link here to the recent post on the main market (comment link), for anyone not on it and confused about the price jump.
@EmilyThomas This was supposed to be a much easier challenge - a single solve sounds a lot easier than 20% or 80% in the main market. But it seems like it was nearly as difficult!
I will work on testing it on the next few December puzzles, but it seems promising.
@Mira In terms of getting a solve for this market, there's a function included in the submission that checks if a sudoku can be solved at all using this prompt/method, to avoid wasted attempts.
@eccentricity openAI made gpt4 better, cheaper, more accessible, which should make this challenge easier & cheaper to try
@Gen I suppose that makes sense, but I think the market has overreacted if the model isn't fundamentally much smarter.
what % of software projects finish on time again? I wonder if we'll have reproducible MVP by 'projected' delivery deadline of jan 1st...

@Shump It looks like @Mira tried to and it failed to solve the Sudoku https://github.com/Mira-public/manifold-sudoku/blob/main/transcripts/emily-1.000394650060000003008150000039007000457002060800900014000000080900061000015280046.sudoku_log.txt At the bottom of this file is this sudoku:
First of all there are blanks. Secondly the top row far right should be 825 rather than 52_
@jacksonpolack i think its still solvable and Emily (who knows this solution the best) can fix it. my bet is on #2
@Shump The problem is that the puzzle above is the same puzzle that Emily put forward as her solve puzzle.
@jacksonpolack Emily's prompt seems like a very strong prompt. The solve only had one mistake (putting a 5 in the 1st row, 7th column instead of an 8) and it managed to keep going with filling in the puzzle in a logically consistent manner until it had nothing left that it could fill in without putting in a number that would not be allowed.
