Raven Alpha: what it answers

31 runs, 789 responses, Oct 7 3:08 AM UTC to Oct 12 11:25 PM UTC. Each row is one fixed prompt with no right answer; the detector tracks the distribution of answers, not any single one. Filled cells: that run's most common answer was the overall favourite. Hollow cells: it was something else (normal for prompts with many good answers).
