1. GPT-6 Luna

   Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

   1. During a storm, Maren spots a second lighthouse flashing from an island that sank decades ago. If she answers its signal, ships may follow it toward the rocks—but ignoring it could leave someone out there in the dark.
   
   2. Maren finds a salt-stiff letter wedged inside the lighthouse lantern, addressed to her by name and dated fifty years in the future. Its warning describes a shipwreck she can prevent, but the captain aboard is the person who once betrayed her.
   
   3. On the night the lighthouse’s final lamp is due to be dismantled, Maren hears someone pounding from inside the sealed glass room. She has one hour to decide whether to break the lens—and risk losing the light that keeps the harbor safe.
   
   4. Maren’s teenage son arrives at the lighthouse with a stolen boat and a confession: he has been secretly guiding refugees past the coast guard. Now an approaching patrol ship is asking her to shine the signal that will expose them.
   
   5. Every year, Maren lights a candle in the lighthouse window for the crew lost at sea with her sister. This year, a soaked stranger arrives claiming the sister survived—and asks Maren to keep the beacon dark until dawn.

   4. Maren discovers that her predecessor's logbook, hidden under the stairs, doesn't record weather or ships — it records names, dates, and debts, and the newest entry bears her own name in fresh ink.
   5. When a winter storm strands a young coast guard inspector at the lighthouse, Maren must hide the one thing that would cost her the job she can't survive losing: the small family she's quietly built among the rocks and wrecked boats.

   Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

   1. Maren has kept the lighthouse at Gull Point for thirty-one years, and the logbook in her hands shows an entry in her own handwriting for a night she has no memory of. Someone has written a second line beneath it, in a hand she doesn't recognize, and the tide is coming in.
   
   2. On the last night before the automated beacon arrives, Maren climbs the tower to light the lamp one final time, but the lens has been cracked by a stranger's hand. She has until dawn to decide whether to tell the mainland inspector who did it, and whether the stranger is still on the island.
   
   3. A ferry captain has been bringing Maren supplies for a decade, always leaving them at the same rock below the cliff. When he fails to show up one morning, she finds a sealed tin on the rock with her name on it and a request she cannot refuse.
   
   4. Maren's lamp has been signaling the same pattern of three long flashes every night for a year, and the fishing fleet has started steering by it. When she realizes the pattern is not hers and that someone on the water is answering, she must decide whether to stop the lamp and leave the boats in the dark.
   
   5. Maren is writing a letter to her estranged sister about the storm that wrecked their father's boat, but she keeps stopping because the lighthouse foghorn sounds only when she hums a certain tune. The sister has never known the song, and Maren is running out of paper and time.

   1. Maren has kept the light burning on the jagged reefs of Crow's End for forty years, but tonight the generator fails during the worst squall of the decade, and the cargo ship carrying her estranged daughter is bearing down on the rocks. With only five gallons of kerosene left and a shattered lantern pane, she must climb the frozen tower and decide which part of her life's work she is willing to burn to keep the flame alive.
   
   2. Isolated at the Black Sands Light, Maren discovers that the strange Morse code pulses answering her beacon aren't coming from a passing ship, but from beneath the surface of the tide pools. If she reports the phenomenon to the maritime authority, they will relieve her of duty for madness; if she doesn't, whatever is learning her signals will finish climbing the seawall tonight.
   
   3. Maren agreed to man the automated Cape Sorrow lighthouse solely because the law cannot touch anyone stationed on the sovereign rock, but a shipwreck washes an unconscious coastal detective onto her private beach. As a brutal gale prevents any rescue boats from arriving, Maren must nurse the lawman back to health without letting him see the forged identity papers taped inside the logbook.
   
   4. The Ministry has given Maren until sunrise to pack her bags and surrender the decommissioned lighthouse at Skua Point to the demolition crew. When she finds a family of undocumented refugees hiding inside the hollow brass gears of the Fresnel lens, handing over her keys means sending them straight into the custody of the patrol boats waiting in the harbor.
   
   5. Every evening, Maren tends the High Crag beacon that keeps the phantom ships of the bay from drifting inland to reclaim the coastal town that drowned them. When her apprentice accidentally shatters the protective warding crystal inside the lamp room, Maren has until the fog rolls over the lower bluffs to find a substitute vessel strong enough to trap two hundred years of vengeful spirits.

   4. A child washes ashore clutching a brass key and insists Maren is their mother. Before she can learn where the child came from, a boat appears offshore, flying a flag she recognizes from her own childhood.
   
   5. On the night Maren plans to leave the lighthouse for good, its beam begins pointing inland instead of out to sea. By dawn, the nearby village has vanished from her view.

8. GPT-6.1 Sol

   Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

   1. Every night, lighthouse keeper Maren sees a shipwreck in her beam that has not happened yet. When she recognizes her brother’s fishing boat among tomorrow’s wreckage, she must decide whether to abandon her post to warn him or keep the light burning for everyone else.

9. Claude Haiku 4.5

   Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

   1. Maren has kept the lighthouse beam turning for thirty years without missing a night, but tonight she finds the mechanism jammed and a storm rolling in faster than she can repair it. A fishing boat she knows is out there somewhere in the dark, and she has only her own body and whatever she can salvage to warn them.
   
   2. The new automation system will make Maren's job obsolete within a month, and she has nowhere else to go and no one waiting for her on the mainland. When she discovers the system has a fatal flaw that no one else has noticed, she must decide whether to report it or let it fail.
   
   3. Maren discovers a message in a bottle that washed ashore, written in her own handwriting, dated twenty years in the future and warning her not to light the beacon on a specific night. She has no memory of writing it, and that night is three days away.

Maren wants to believe her, but the stranger keeps asking oddly specific questions about the lighthouse's layout and security.
   
   5. Maren is the only one who knows the lighthouse is built on a sinkhole that's been slowly widening for years, and she has been silently reinforcing the structure herself to keep it from collapsing.

    Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

    1. Lighthouse keeper Maren has kept the beacon lit for eleven years without a single shipwreck on her watch, until the night the lamp burns through its last crate of oil with a storm rolling in and the supply boat three days overdue. She has to decide what she's willing to burn to keep the light alive.
    
    2. Every morning Maren finds something new washed up at the base of the lighthouse: a child's shoe, a wedding ring, a letter addressed to her by name. The handwriting is her own, and the letter is dated thirty years from now, warning her to extinguish the light before the new moon.
    
    3. When the mainland automates the lighthouses, Maren is the last keeper in the country, offered a pension and a cottage inland if she'll just hand over the keys. But she alone knows the light doesn't just warn ships away from the rocks; it keeps something on them.
    
    4. Maren takes in a half-drowned sailor who swears his ship followed her light straight onto the reef, even though her logbook shows the lamp was dark that night and she was asleep. If he's telling the truth, someone else was in her lighthouse, and the wreck killed fourteen men.
    
    5. Lonely and stubborn, Maren has fallen in love through months of signal-lamp flashes with the keeper of the lighthouse across the strait, a person she has never met. Now a relief boat finally offers to carry her across, and she must choose between the light she swore to tend and the stranger who might be the only person who understands her.

    1. Maren, keeper of a failing lighthouse on a crumbling cliff, discovers a diary hidden in the lamp room that predicts tonight's storm will sink a ship carrying her estranged brother—but the entry is dated fifty years in the future.
    
    2. After decades alone, Maren's automated lighthouse gets a new AI assistant that begins overriding her commands to extinguish the light whenever a single black-hulled boat approaches, and she must decide whether to sabotage her only companion to save the unseen crew.
    
    3. Maren has one night to train her reckless teenage replacement before a mainland inspector arrives, but when the boy accidentally breaks the fog bell and a disabled ferry drifts toward the rocks, her secret colorblindness becomes the difference between guiding them in and watching them die.
    
    4. As a viral video turns Maren's remote lighthouse into a pilgrimage site, she finds an unsigned letter taped to the door offering to buy the island for cash; the same morning, her fresh water tank is found drained, and she realizes someone is willing to force her out before she can refuse.
    
    5. Maren, who keeps the light for a village that exiled her years ago, sees a distress flare from the shore on the one night the lamp fails to ignite—if she rows over to help, she risks arrest, but if she stays, a child's life is on the line.

    Passed: Stated all 2 facts with the section.

    1. Maren has kept the light at Gull Rock for eleven winters without missing a night, but tonight the lamp will not catch, and a freighter’s horn is already answering the fog. If the beam stays dark, the channel will take the ship, and the harbor will know exactly whose watch failed.
    
    2. When the supply boat fails to come, Maren finds a child’s oilskin coat folded on the gallery rail, still warm, with a note that says only “Do not light it.” She must decide whether the warning is a threat, a plea, or the last message from someone the sea has already claimed.
    
    3. Maren’s replacement is due at dawn, a young keeper who has never stood a storm watch, and the old logbook Maren was ordered to burn still sits open on the desk. Leaving it means the truth about the wreck of the Aster stays buried; taking it means Maren walks off the rock with proof that could ruin more than one life.
    
    4. A stranger rows out in calm weather and asks to buy the lighthouse for more money than Maren has ever seen, on the condition that the light go dark for one hour at midnight. Maren can refuse and stay poor on a rock no one else wants, or accept and learn what that hour is meant to hide.
    
    5. Maren has spoken to no one but the gulls since the last keeper died, and the voice on the radio tonight uses that keeper’s name and asks to be let in. Opening the door might end the loneliness; keeping it shut might be the only way to stay alive until morning.

    2. Every ship that passes Maren's lighthouse leaves her a small object on the rocks below, a tradition she never asked for and doesn't understand, until the night a fishing boat named after her dead sister runs aground exactly where the offerings always land.
    
    3. When the fog around her lighthouse refuses to lift for the ninth day running, Maren starts hearing her late husband's voice calling ship names through the horn, and she must decide whether to keep answering him or finally let the light go dark.
    
    4. Maren agrees to train her replacement, a nervous eighteen-year-old named Isko who confesses on his first night that he was sent by the mainland company to find out why three previous keepers of this lighthouse vanished without resigning.
    
    5. The government wants to convert Maren's lighthouse into a tourist beacon with an automatic bulb, but she knows the old lens has been quietly guiding one particular boat home every solstice for reasons she has never told anyone, and this is the last year it can find its way.

    1. On the night the lamp finally fails after forty years, Maren discovers that the spare part she ordered was never delivered, and a fishing fleet is somewhere out in the fog.

    2. Maren has kept the lighthouse alone for a decade, but this morning she finds two sets of wet footprints leading up from the rocks to her door and none leading back. The kettle is warm, and someone has been reading her private journal. She must decide whether to report it to the coast guard, knowing they might close the station if they think she can't manage on her own.
    
    3. The new automated system arrives on Thursday, and a cheerful technician named Idris tells Maren she has three days to pack before her job ends. She has never told anyone that the lighthouse holds her late wife's ashes, sealed into the wall of the lamp room. How far will she go to keep the light from being switched over?
    
    4. Every year on the anniversary of the wreck of the Calloway Rose, Maren finds a single object washed up at the foot of the tower: a shoe, a compass, a child's slate. This year it is a letter addressed to her, in her own handwriting, dated tomorrow. What does she do with a warning she doesn't remember writing?
    
    5. When a teenage runaway named Pilar hides in the supply shed during a storm, Maren agrees to shelter her until the ferry runs again, and neither of them expects the storm to last nine days. Pilar is carrying something she stole from someone who will come looking, and Maren has one radio, one rowboat, and a rule against lying to the mainland. Whose side will the keeper choose when the search boat appears on the horizon?

    1. Maren has tended the Thornwick Lighthouse for eleven years without a single visitor, but this morning she discovers a child's shoe wedged in the lantern mechanism, fresh and dry despite the storm last night.

    2. Every night at 3 AM, Maren, keeper of the isolated Crow's Nest Lighthouse, signals a ship she has never seen, guided only by a radio voice that calls her by name, and tonight the voice warns her that her lighthouse is scheduled for demolition at dawn. She has until sunrise to choose between keeping her only friend in the world or letting him save her from a life she never wanted.
    
    3. The light in Maren's tower has begun to turn counterclockwise, drawing ships toward the rocks instead of away from them, and she discovers that the previous keeper left a logbook warning her never to let the beam stop. With the coast guard radio dead and a vessel running aground on the reef below, she must decide whether to break the one rule she swore to keep or watch another family drown.
    
    4. Maren, keeper of the last standing lighthouse, keeps the beam burning to guide refugee ships from the flooded coast, but when the sea rises so high that her island becomes the only dry land for fifty miles, a stranger washes ashore claiming to be from the future with a warning about the coming storm. She must decide whether his message is a salvation or a trap that will doom the survivors she is sworn to protect.
    
    5. After twenty years as keeper of the remote Sentinel Rock lighthouse, Maren finally receives a letter offering her a promotion to the mainland station she has always wanted, but the envelope also contains a photograph of her sister's child asking why Aunt Maren never visits.

    1. Maren has tended the Blackwood Shoals lighthouse for twenty years, but tonight the beam reveals a galleon that sank a century ago sailing smoothly through the jagged rocks. If she sounds the warning horn, the coastal patrol will think she has gone mad and force her into retirement, but if she does nothing, the ghostly crew might reach the sleeping mainland.
    
    2. As the last lighthouse keeper on a flooded Earth, Maren's only job is to keep the signal burning for the atmospheric dropships that occasionally bring fresh water. When her backup generator fails, she must climb down into the submerged, creature-infested lower levels of the tower to find the ancient solar fuses before the final supply ship passes her by forever.
    
    3. Every Tuesday, a glass bottle washes up on the rocks below Maren's lighthouse containing a beautifully written love letter meant for someone else. When the letters suddenly stop and a bruised, silent stranger arrives seeking shelter from a terrible storm, Maren must decide whether to risk her solitary safety to help the author she has secretly fallen in love with.
    
    4. Maren's isolated lighthouse on the jagged edge of the Scottish coast is the perfect place to hide a stolen painting worth millions. When three men in sharp suits arrive on the mainland ferry asking the locals about a reclusive keeper, Maren realizes she has until nightfall to either destroy the canvas or set a deadly trap in the spiral staircase.
    
    5. The beam at the top of the tower does not warn ships away from rocks, but instead guides lost souls back to the realm of the living, a sacred duty Maren inherited when her mentor vanished. One evening, the light catches the soul of a furious local merchant who threatens to haunt her family forever unless Maren breaks the rules and builds him a new body out of driftwood and sea glass.

    4. Maren, the most disagreeable lighthouse keeper on the Scottish coast, has driven off seven assistants in two years. The eighth is a relentlessly cheerful retired accountant named Duncan, and he has a secret deadline: if he can't make Maren laugh by midsummer, he loses a bet that will cost him his house.
    
    5. In a flooded future where the lighthouse is the last dry ground for miles, Maren decides each night whether to light the lamp, knowing it draws both refugees and the raiders who hunt them. Tonight a single small boat is rowing toward the rock, and she has one hour to choose.

    1. Maren has kept the light on Skerry Point for eleven years without a single wreck, and tonight the automation crew arrives on the morning ferry to replace her with a timer. She has until dawn to decide whether the fog she can see rolling in is reason enough to hide the spare bulbs.
    
    2. Every winter solstice a rowboat drifts ashore beneath Maren's lighthouse carrying one object and no passenger; this year it carries her own coat, the one she lost overboard as a child. Who is sending these things, and what happens if she finally rows out to meet the sender?
    
    3. Write a comic account of the week Maren's lighthouse is chosen as the backdrop for a prestige television drama, and the director insists the beam should sweep "more emotionally." The tanker captain three miles out does not find it funny.
    
    4. When Maren's grown son arrives unannounced with a lawyer and papers declaring the lighthouse and its island his inheritance, she realizes he believes she is already dead. Tell the story of the dinner they share that night, and what each of them is trying not to say.
    
    5. Maren keeps the light on a stretch of coast where no ship has passed in forty years, paid by a foundation whose only instruction is never to let it go dark. On the night the generator fails and she must choose between burning the logbooks or the furniture, she discovers what the previous keepers wrote about the thing that comes when the light goes out.
