A new order behind the leaders

nvbanana closes third at 81.39, ahead of rabbithole’s unchanged 80.83 in fourth. The observed score event moves nvbanana from 79.72 and fourth to 81.39 and third. Its fresh roster lists cpmpml, the verified account of Jean-François Puget, and darraghdog. This is the ARC-AGI-2 entry; NVARC3 is a separate ARC-AGI-3 team. The event establishes the recorded step, while the helper withholds a complete midnight-to-close comparison for nvbanana.

Movement further down the field

The overnight wire recorded Lee Minseung’s rise from 43rd to 37th, with a 4.59-point increase to 50.42 in its day-long window. Later recorded events include Yuvraj #2 moving from 92nd to 42nd at 47.08 and Aneesh & Yash from 34th to 30th at 55.97. These are dated observed steps, rather than a claim that each rank is still the closing rank. The provisional gold score remains 66.53, unchanged against midnight, so those results still leave ground to cover.
