It consists of problems based on everyday situations that can be understood by any Korean person. Each problem is designed to require both physical reasoning and an understanding of Korean culture. - Total Samples: **181** - Task Types: Built upon **9 distinct physical reasoning tasks** - Cultural Relevance: 157 samples with a cultural_element_score of 1 and 24 samples with a score of 2 ## Data Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------------------------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `problem_type_category` | string | Coarse-grained reasoning category | | `problem_type_subcategory`| string | Fine-grained reasoning sub-category | | `prompt` | string | Question | | `solution0` | string | Candidate solution0 | | `solution1` | string | Candidate solution1 | | `label` | int | Index of the correct solution (0 or 1) | | `explanation` | string | Detailed explanation of why the correct answer is valid and why the alternative is incorrect | | `korea_relevance` | string | Korean cultural elements | | `physical_relevance` | string | Physical reasoning principles or elements | | `cultural_element_score` | int | Degree to which the question leverages Korean-specific cultural elements (1: mentioned but not essential, 2: central and essential) | ## Taxonomy of problem types
