DA-037 - “The Unsolvable Homework”

Object Class: Medium

Secure Containment Guidelines:

 DA-037 must be stored within a designated standard containment locker at Site-██, secured with a combination lock, and access is restricted solely to personnel with Level 3 security clearance or higher, as dictated by protocol 1. Direct physical contact with DA-037 is strictly forbidden due to its anomalous properties, and all interactions must be conducted remotely using secure computer systems in accordance with protocol 2. To further minimize risks, researchers and personnel are prohibited from spending extended periods interacting with the homework, capped at 30 minutes per day as stated in protocol 6. Regular psychological evaluations are mandatory for personnel involved in DA-037 research, ensuring their mental well-being in compliance with protocol 8. These robust procedures are constantly reviewed and updated to uphold the secure containment of DA-037 and protect Foundation personnel from potential adverse effects.

Description:

DA-037 is a seemingly ordinary homework assignment that manifests itself as a stack of papers in a sealed envelope. The content of DA-037 appears to be a standard academic assessment on various subjects, such as mathematics, history, literature, and science. However, despite its appearance, no individual has been able to achieve a perfect score (100%) on DA-037.

The anomalous properties of DA-037 are as follows:

Constant Changes: Whenever someone attempts to solve DA-037, the questions and answers will subtly change, making it impossible to predict or memorize the correct responses. Even if someone attempts to copy answers from a previously completed version of DA-037, the content will have shifted.

Uncertain Solutions: The questions posed in DA-037 often lack clarity, have multiple interpretations, or are intentionally misleading. This creates confusion and uncertainty for anyone attempting to answer them.

Intuitive Resistance: DA-037 seems to possess a cognitive resistance, actively countering any method or technology used to solve it. Traditional study aids, advanced computational tools, and even anomalous assistance fail to provide a path to achieving a perfect score.

Psychological Effects: Subjects who attempt to solve DA-037 may experience feelings of frustration, anxiety, and self-doubt. Prolonged exposure to the homework has been known to cause psychological stress.

Addendum:

Various test subjects, including students, scholars, and anomalous experts, have attempted to complete DA-037, but all efforts have resulted in partial or incorrect answers. Even DA personnel with high levels of expertise in different fields have failed to achieve a perfect score.

Due to DA-037's unpredictable and cognitively resistant nature, it is contained in a secure vault to prevent unauthorized access. Research into the origins and purpose of DA-037 is ongoing, as it may provide insights into the anomalous properties of "unsolvable" phenomena. Personnel interacting with DA-037 are advised to do so with caution, and mental health assessments are mandatory post-interaction.
