Very enjoyable and thought provoking stuff though!

Edit: spelling

There are still dozens of ways to cheat even under the above conditions, but it should eliminate egregious copy/pasting from a LLM or in-person help.

Were it me, I'd have made the expectation clear that we were interested more in the line-of-thoughts and explanation than the code. The lack of communication would probably be enough to not take the application further.

Though I'll admit that I have a bias towards physical, single purpose devices. I use a physical (digital) timer in the kitchen, and a physical mechanical metronome when playing music.

Same! It's been in the front of mind because I've recently been watching Hyperspace Pirate's videos on building a DIY cryocooler (and have been struggling to follow it at a technical level). You might enjoy them too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QZrHzd3RA8

You're correct that it's an exercise in introspection, rather than relying on the AI's own knowledge. It was clear to me when trying to write explanations to its questions where my understanding was starting to get fuzzy and hand wavy.

A nice bonus was to get it produce a scorecard of correct, nearly correct and incorrect explanations. I could see these as a good jumping off point for me to do more learning/research. Though I suspect the AI would be less accurate at this in a more niche topic than I chose (refrigeration).

I imagine that most air accident investigations begin like this; confused, competing information from numerous sources of varying reliability. Just with the internet and 24h news, everyone is following along with each revelation (see also the Pistorius trial).

Give it some time, let the investigators work and report their findings. I'd be very surprised if it's not a combination of system failure and human error in reacting to the failure.

"I write ‘identity theft’ in quotes as it’s a propaganda term for the old-fashioned offence of impersonation. In the old days, if someone went to a bank, pretended to be me, borrowed money from them and vanished, then that was the bank’s problem, not mine. In the USA and the UK, banks have recently taken to claiming that it’s my identity that’s been stolen rather than their money, and that this somehow makes me liable. So I also parenthesise ‘victims’ — the banks are the real victims, except insofar as they commit secondary fraud against the customer."
