Isn't this cheating? Or rather, are frontier agents only looking at one question at a time? If I understand correctly, you're looking at all the examples of the exam questions. If the exam was adjusted so that you can only look at one question at a time, you won't get 44% anymore.
Why would that be cheating? That's what humans do when they learn, they look for the signals and patterns that reduce the possible set of answers so they can converge on the solution and narrow the search space.
