Ive never competed in math competitions at this level, but I would have expected it to be pretty clear to the human when they tested a different solution. As complex as the proofs are, is it really feasible that they are testing out a full proof in their head without realizing it?

Hmm, I think it comes down to what the definition of "testing" and "attempt". A human will generate many ideas, and eliminate them without creating full proofs, by just seeing that the idea is going in the wrong direction.

It sounds like AlphaProof will doggedly create full proofs for each idea.

Is what the human is doing testing attempts?
