 We do not recommend not implementing that feature because it is the juicy part of the project.
 Nevertheless, your submission will still be considered without it, if it is the only thing missing.
 ### I have access to some intelligences that are itching to help me. Am I allowed to get assistance from intelligences other than mine?
 It depends on the type of the activity those intelligences perform while assisting you in doing your task.
 Let's analyze the issue a little bit deeper:
 0. For the sake of brevity, we will refer to those "Other Intelligence"s as "OI". 
   An OI can be anything you gain intelligent support from. It can be a friend or mentor of yours. It can be
   your cat, dog or it can be an LLM.
 1. Let's suppose that OI does all the job, i.e. thinking, designing & making. Surely the motivation is yours.
   It just does what you say. You initiate the act, have the job done, consolidate the various outcomes if
   they still need to be put together in a meaningful way. Eventually you have the task ready for submission.
 2. Or, suppose the OI does the thinking part and maybe it also provides a design as a realization of the thoughts
   it produced. You do all of the coding following the guides & artifacts you obtained from the OI and you are proud of the work
   you have done. You put everything in a zip file and prepare for the submission part.
 3. Reversely, suppose you do the thinking & designing part. This is where the intellectual value is located
   after all, right? You co-implement with the OI or the OI takes care of itself and voila, you are ready.
 4. Finally, suppose that you think, you design, you do. Get assistance from the OI or from any source of
   knowledge in the form of retrieving information.
 Now, in the scenario #1, we had better interview the possessor of the OI if it is a human being.
 In the scenario #2, although it is clear that you certainly know how to use the keyboard and a code editor,
 we cannot assess some of your most critical cognitive skills such as thinking and designing.
 Scenario #3 shows some of your potential but we need to get to know you in full action.
 This is the place you need to show your full potential, not some part of it.
 The last scenario, scenario #4, is the only one which makes it worthwhile to interview you considering the
 submission you have made. Because only when you do the act of thinking, designing and doing all on your
 own you show your full agency on this task which is what we need to measure for the position you have applied for.
 As for the retrieving information, this is the part related to "knowing".
 Since one cannot "know more" without external sources of information it is perfectly fine to get
 informed from any reliable source of information. The technical details of getting informed, learning
 and ultimately being more knowledgable are irrelevant as long as they are legitimate.
