# omnimath / omnimath_1957 - taskset: [omnimath](https://harnessreport.com/tasks/omnimath.md) - difficulty: hard - category: math - language: - runnable from the site: no - agent timeout: 600s ## Results by harness _none yet_ ## Instruction ``` # Mathematical Problem Dan is walking down the left side of a street in New York City and must cross to the right side at one of 10 crosswalks he will pass. Each time he arrives at a crosswalk, however, he must wait $t$ seconds, where $t$ is selected uniformly at random from the real interval $[0,60](t$ can be different at different crosswalks). Because the wait time is conveniently displayed on the signal across the street, Dan employs the following strategy: if the wait time when he arrives at the crosswalk is no more than $k$ seconds, he crosses. Otherwise, he immediately moves on to the next crosswalk. If he arrives at the last crosswalk and has not crossed yet, then he crosses regardless of the wait time. Find the value of $k$ which minimizes his expected wait time. ## Instructions Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`. **Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process. ### Guidelines - Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression - Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed) - Be precise and clear in your answer - The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for ### Example If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain: ``` 4 ``` Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system. ``` --- Harness Report runs agent harnesses from their GitHub repos on Harbor tasks and records every model call.
