the problems are general and abstract, domain specific knowledge and memorization don't help. Figuring out the rules, the goal, the controls, and how to solve in a reasonable budget all indicate some level of general ability.

So basically they're well suited for like, an octopus or a crow?

I was thinking about those species earlier in the context of, what does intelligence mean outside of language.

The benchmark appears to be testing the same thing. Although I don't know how much transfer there would be between this data set and the kind of situations a crow or an octopus would encounter.

Edit: Huh, it's just a Game boy game? I just did a couple of the tasks. It looks like C64 era game to me. Navigating levels. A lot of overlap with animal intelligence then.
