The input numbers are in the range zero through one. Returning a constant in this range means a maximum error of 1. This is multiplied by 100. Returning 0.5 would be better and would even have got one of the test cases correct.


Pauli

3298 is correct here. The rules say 100 times the error value returned to the stack. That value is the actual error * 1E12, so an error of 1 would result in a score of 1E14.

Sorry to pop your bubble. Gene rules have no easy loopholes :-)
