Rebus human baseline

Hi! Thank you for participating in the REBUS benchmark. You will be given approximately 50 rebuses to solve, and their associated categories.

You are allowed to use reverse image search, as well as searching the web. However, you are not allowed to use ChatGPT or other AI models (beyond whatever powers Google image search). You also aren't allowed to use the REBUS paper or dataset itself beyond the image files linked in your spreadsheet.

Each puzzle you solve will be worth $1, $1.50, or $2 depending on whether we consider it easy, medium, or difficult. For reference, your subset contains approximately 27 easy, 16 medium, and 4 difficult puzzles (but we're not saying which are which). Thus, a perfect score will result in compensation of approximately $60.

Spend a maximum of 5 minutes per puzzle.

To begin, please download the following spreadsheet:
