Swahili Language Linguist & Original Puzzle Designer

You will create puzzles across three primary categories:

• Linguistic Reasoning: Puzzles based on complex grammar rules, syntactic structures, or linguistic ambiguities unique to your language.
  
• Cultural Reasoning: Logic puzzles grounded in deep cultural context, local traditions, or culturally-grounded mathematics that AI lacks the lived experience to understand.
  
• Wordplay & Riddles: Advanced, original riddles, puns, or double-meanings that do not exist on the internet and cannot be easily translated word-for-word.
  

Deliverables per item:

For every puzzle you create, you will be required to submit the following:

• Native-Language Prompt: The original puzzle written flawlessly in the target language.
  
• Gold Answer: The definitive, correct solution.
  
• Rationale: A logical breakdown of why the answer is correct and how a native speaker arrives at it.
  
• English Translation: A high-quality English translation of the prompt, answer, and rationale for project managers to review.
  
• Difficulty Rating: An assessment of how challenging the puzzle is for a native speaker.
