ChatGPT spent 69 minutes and 42 seconds "thinking" just to tell you "You can't." That's like watching your senior architect stare at the whiteboard for over an hour during a planning meeting, only for them to turn around and say "nope, not possible" without any further explanation. The irony here is beautiful. Someone's trying to install CUDA 12.1 on Ubuntu 24.04, and the AI that supposedly saves you weeks of work just burned over an hour to deliver the most unhelpful two-word response possible. No workarounds, no alternatives, no "but here's what you CAN do" — just pure, unfiltered rejection. You could've googled this, read three Stack Overflow threads, tried two wrong solutions, and still had time left over to make coffee. But sure, let's call it "incredible" and a "solid product." The future of development is waiting 69 minutes for a chatbot to say no.

So they won a programming competition by gaming the scoring system harder than a speedrunner exploiting glitches. The strategy? Solve 2 problems properly, then for the other 2, just hardcode a random answer and pray it matches enough test cases to rack up points. It's like studying for an exam by memorizing one specific answer without knowing the question. The beautiful irony here is that the competition was literally designed to prevent this exact behavior by hiding the test cases. But when you're scored purely on passing tests rather than actual correctness, you've accidentally created an incentive structure that rewards educated guessing over problem-solving. The organizers basically turned "Test Driven Development" into "Test Driven Deception." This is why production code has edge cases that break everything—somewhere, someone wrote a function that returns 42 because "it worked in testing."
