Summary

Exact prompt

# Debt avalanche vs snowball, to the cent `input.json` lists debts and a fixed monthly budget (synthetic). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only) so that `python solve.py input.json answer.json` simulates both payoff methods month by month. We re-run it on fresh inputs, so do not hard-code anything. ## Input `debts`: list of `{"name", "balance", "apr" (yearly percent, e.g. 21.99), "min_payment"}`; `monthly_budget` (total paid each month, including minimums). ## Rules 1. Work in exact cents (use `decimal.Decimal`; convert input numbers with `Decimal(str(x))`). Round with ROUND_HALF_UP to 0.01. 2. If `monthly_budget` < the sum of all minimum payments, the whole answer is `{"error": "budget_below_minimums"}`. 3. Target order (fixed at the start, using the original balances): **avalanche** = highest apr first, ties by smaller balance, then name; **snowball** = smallest balance first, ties by higher apr, then name. 4. Each month, in this order: (a) every debt with a positive balance gets interest = round(balance * apr / 1200) added to its balance; (b) in input order, each debt with a positive balance is paid min(min_payment, balance) from the budget; (c) whatever is left of the budget goes to debts in target order: pay min(left, balance) to the first target with a positive balance, then any remainder to the next, and so on in the same month. Any budget still left at the end of the month is not used. 5. `payoff_month[name]` = the month number (first month = 1) at whose end the debt's balance is 0. `months` = month at which all are 0. If debts remain after month 600, that method's result is `{"error": "not_paid_off"}`. 6. `total_interest` = all interest added; `total_paid` = all payments. `interest_saved_by_avalanche` = snowball total_interest - avalanche total_interest (only when both methods finish). ## Output `answer.json`: `{"avalanche": R, "snowball": R, "interest_saved_by_avalanche": x}` with R = `{"months", "total_interest", "total_paid", "payoff_month": {name: month}, "order": [names in target order]}`. Money as numbers with 2 decimals. ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit = fraction passed; all must pass), money within 0.011, months and orders exact: `orders`, `avalanche_totals`, `snowball_totals`, `payoff_months` (and interest saved) on the given input; `fresh_run_1`, `fresh_run_2` (whole answer on fresh inputs, which can contain 0% debts and equal balances); `budget_below_minimums` (a fresh input whose budget is too small). Each run has a 60-second limit.

Cent rounding of monthly interest, minimums before extra, same-month rollover of leftover money, tie rules for 0% debts and equal balances, and the budget-below-minimums error. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Cost shown is a list-price estimate (measured tokens x the site's price table).

These are synthetic test cases for comparing AI models, not financial advice.

Success criteria: 1. orders 2. avalanche_totals 3. snowball_totals 4. payoff_months 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2 7. budget_below_minimums

Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 9 case j07-debt-avalanche-snowball (offline fixture). Prepared with the case's setup script; hidden key/tests kept outside the agent's work dir. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Scored automatically with the scout's scorer. Tools: list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell (venice-mini-agent v1.3), web disabled. Single run, no retries. Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.3 via the Venice OpenAI-compatible API: same tool loop, system prompt and limits as the cases 02-25 Venice runs (max 25 turns, max 16,000 output tokens per call, temperature 0.2, Venice system prompt and web search off, per-run cost cap $0.05, thinking on (model default)). Same task text, work-dir layout and scorer as the Claude runs of this case. Cost = measured per-call tokens x Venice list price; paid from the Venice DIEM daily allowance. Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.3 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API (16000 max tokens/call, $0.05 run cap). Score: 7/7. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured per-call tokens x the site's list-price table (paid from Venice DIEM allowance; Venice billing not itemized). input tokens include cached reads. Single run.

Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: GLM 4.7 (Venice) (venice/zai-org-glm-4.7, thinking on) via venice-mini-agent v1.3, cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. orders 2. avalanche_totals 3. snowball_totals 4. payoff_months 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2 7. budget_below_minimums
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.

The avalanche order should be highest APR first: card-blue (26.48), student (25.63), store-card (16.35), car (9.46), medical (6.19), card-gold (0), personal (0). For the 0% APR debts, ties should be by smaller balance: card-gold (13937.48) vs personal (15991.62). That looks correct.\n\n2. The snowball order should be smallest balance first: car (6216.73), student (12177.17), medical (13650.2), then card-gold and store-card both at 13937.48 - ties by higher APR: store-card (16.35) then card-gold (0), then card-blue (15874.05), then personal (15991.62). That looks correct.\n\n3. The interest saved calculation: 23082.79 - 15924.12 = 7158.67. That's correct.\n\nLet me also test the budget_below_minimums case by creating a test input.",
