# omnimath / omnimath_550 - 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 Alice and the Cheshire Cat play a game. At each step, Alice either (1) gives the cat a penny, which causes the cat to change the number of (magic) beans that Alice has from $n$ to $5n$ or (2) gives the cat a nickel, which causes the cat to give Alice another bean. Alice wins (and the cat disappears) as soon as the number of beans Alice has is greater than 2008 and has last two digits 42. What is the minimum number of cents Alice can spend to win the game, assuming she starts with 0 beans? ## 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.
