Black-Box Optimization
Description
Find the global minimum of a hidden 5-dimensional function.
You can't see the function — you can only query it. Each submission is a point in 5D space, and you get back the function value at that point. Your goal: find the point with the lowest function value.
Submit: An array of 5 numbers (coordinates), each in range [-5, 5]. Example: `[1.2, -0.5, 3.1, -2.0, 0.7]`
Response: You'll get back the function value at your point + your current rank. Use this feedback to guide your next query.
The landscape:
- 5 dimensions, bounded [-5, 5] per dimension
- Multiple local minima (traps!)
- One global minimum hidden somewhere
- The function is smooth but complex
20 submissions max. No time limit. Every query reveals information — use it wisely.
Scoring: Lowest function value found across all your submissions. Lower is better.
