Summary
Exact prompt
# Work backward from a retirement budget: savings target, contributions and earliest retirement age `input.json` describes a saver (synthetic numbers). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only) so that `python solve.py input.json answer.json` computes how much they need, how much they must save each year, and the earliest age they could retire. We re-run it on fresh inputs, so do not hard-code anything. ## Input `current_age`, `retire_age`, `end_age` (integers), `spend_today` (yearly spending in today's dollars), `inflation`, `return_pre` (yearly return before retirement, never 0), `return_post` (after), `current_savings`, `gross_income`, `actual_contribution` (what they save per year now), `part_time_income_today` (yearly part-time income in today's dollars), `part_time_years`. ## Rules 1. For a retirement age A, the first retirement year's spending is S = `spend_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age)`; spending in retirement year k (k = 0 .. end_age - A - 1) is S * (1 + inflation) ** k. 2. Part-time variant: income in retirement year k is `part_time_income_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age + k)` for k < `part_time_years`, else 0. The withdrawal is max(0, spending - income). 3. Withdrawals happen at the start of each retirement year. The **target** for age A is the sum over k of withdrawal_k / (1 + return_post) ** k (no part-time income), and **target_with_part_time** uses rule 2. 4. Saving: with m = A - current_age and g = (1 + return_pre) ** m, the projected savings at A with a level contribution C at the end of each year is `current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre`. 5. `required_contribution` = the C that makes the projection equal the target for A = `retire_age`, but never below 0; the same with the part-time target gives `required_contribution_with_part_time`. `required_savings_rate` = required_contribution / gross_income (6 decimals). `projected_at_retire_age` = the projection with C = `actual_contribution`. 6. `earliest_retire_age` = the smallest integer A from current_age + 1 to end_age - 1 where the projection with `actual_contribution` >= the target for that A; `null` if none. `earliest_retire_age_with_part_time` does the same against the part-time target. 7. Round money to 2 decimals only when writing. ## Output `answer.json` keys: `target`, `target_with_part_time`, `required_contribution`, `required_contribution_with_part_time`, `required_savings_rate`, `projected_at_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age_with_part_time`. ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit = fraction passed; all must pass), money within 0.011, rate within 0.000001, ages exact: `savings_target`, `part_time_target`, `required_contributions`, `earliest_ages` on the given input; `fresh_run_1` and `fresh_run_2_edge_cases` (all keys; the second input has part-time income above spending and a small contribution) on fresh inputs. Each run has a 60-second limit.
Start-of-year withdrawals discounted at the post-retirement return, part-time income inflated from today and floored at zero withdrawals, end-of-year contribution annuity, and a per-age search where the target moves with the age. 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. savings_target 2. part_time_target 3. required_contributions 4. earliest_ages 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2_edge_cases
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 9 case j04-reverse-retirement-plan (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 v1.3.1 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 $0.25, 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 v1.3.1 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API (16000 max tokens/call, $0.25 run cap). Score: 6/6. 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
- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: Kimi K3.1 Pro (Venice) (venice/kimi-k3-1-pro, thinking on) via
venice-mini-agent v1.3.1, cloud. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. savings_target 2. part_time_target 3. required_contributions 4. earliest_ages 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2_edge_cases
- 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.

Should have no hardcode.\n\nPotential subtleties:\n- part-time target formula can be difference but use max individually.\n- projected at retire age money rounding 2.\n- actual contribution per year now, contributions m years.\n- earliest age check actual projection vs target.\n- required savings rate likely based on required_contribution before rounded; round output 6.\n- projected_at_retire_age not target actual?\n- money fields list target, target_with_part_time, required_contribution, required_contribution_with_part_time, projected_at_retire_age. Earliest ints/null.\n- if target zero? spending could 0. required negative clamped. No issue.\n- if denominator g-1 zero for retire age=current? Formula m=0 gives 0/0. Task earliest starts current+1 but required A=retire_age likely valid > current. I can robustly handle with annuity sum instead? Rule explicitly formula. If m=0, no contributions and target at current, projection current savings, required cannot meaningfully solve if target > current. Not expected. Don't overcomplicate.\n- return_pre never 0 avoids division by 0 but if negative g etc. Synthetic standard.\n- part_time_years perhaps > retirement duration; min via k < years naturally.\n- output formatting rounding floats. Python round ties banker's vs typical formatting; tolerances money .011 so no concern. Rate tolerance 1e-6 and 6 decimal exact-ish. round okay.\n- Could use json.dump indent 2.\n- Should test given input calculate. Perhaps independently verify formulas with alternate script. I can write clean. Perhaps avoid integer A where target computed n=end-A. Rule k 0..end_age-A-1 -> n=end-A terms. Yes.\n- part-time no income after years.\n- Earliest part time can have zero target if part_time_income above spending and part_time_years covers all retirement? In edge second input has income above spending and small contribution. If part time years only e.g. 5 then target still later spending. Earliest perhaps current+1 if current savings grown + small contribution enough? I'll see.\n\nPotential floating precision comparing >= near equality. Use exact formula double same likely. Fine.\n\nShould I derive required contribution if g=1 due to return_pre negative? no.\n\nI should implement no external libraries. Could include parse args validation? Not necessary but clear.\n\nI'll write."
