There's a math equation that was put into part 4.1.2 as a puzzle meant for the members of /r/rational.
We must solve it!
Here's a [link](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=graph+1+-+(1%2F(1%2B+(e%5E(ln(X%2F(1-X))+%2B+((2Y)%2F(pi%2Be))+))))) to where I made a 3D graph of the equation in Wolfram Alpha for anyone who wants to see it.

Having Eliezer solve this may count as cheating, but as anyone in stats or ML would recognize:
- Hint 1: "Logistic function"
- Hint 2: "Log odds"
- Hint 3:

Is there any particular reason why you're talking about yourself in third-person, Eliezer?

It indicates that I'm referring to Eliezer as a kind of object or role in the larger world rather than as my agent-that-is-this-agent. In this case, the perhaps-problem is that something that sounds like it was meant for typical wandering readers of /r/rational is being solved by someone with a special role relative to /r/rational. Like, okay the founder knows stats and already knows how to interpret a logistic function, but perhaps that is not what was to be tested.
