Given the name, I expected it to be more like "write a 500 page novel that a publisher accepts", "solve an open math problem", "improve united airlines' flight schedule", "develop a novel commercially-viable pharmaceutical", "control this humanoid robot to cook a fried egg in this random person's kitchen", "decisively pass the turing test where the judge is an expert in AI". Academic trivia is cool but is nowhere near the "last exam" necessary for AI.
