NOLLI
NOLLI (논리) is a benchmark of rule-based logical puzzles in Korean and English, designed with difficulty calibration in mind. It covers 15 task types x 3 difficulty tiers (easy / medium / hard) x 100 examples each, for a total of 7,500 examples (EN 3,000 + KO 4,500).
All examples are programmatically generated with solver-verified answers. If you need more data, the generators in the GitHub repository can produce additional examples for any task, language, and difficulty tier.

Tasks
Tasks follow a three-level cross-lingual spectrum: direct translations, script adaptations, and Korean-only tasks.
1. Direct Translations (8 tasks · EN + KO)
Same generators and parameters in both languages, so performance gaps isolate presentation language.
| task | description | en (easy/med/hard) | ko (easy/med/hard) | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
array_formula |
Apply row/column aggregation formulas (SUM/MEAN/MAX/...) to a 2D array in sequence | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
causal_dag |
Infer event-propagation time through a causal graph with per-edge delays | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
inequality |
CSP: place numbers 1..N satisfying inequality constraints (unique solution) | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
minesweeper |
Minesweeper with minimal hints preserving a unique solution | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
number_baseball |
Infer a hidden N-digit number from Strike/Ball hints | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
sat_puzzles |
Boolean satisfiability (CNF) framed as a natural-language scenario | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
sudoku |
9x9 Sudoku with guaranteed-unique solutions | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
yacht_dice |
Assign 12 dice rolls to 12 scoring categories to maximize total score; report the partial sum over spot-checked rounds | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
2. Script Adaptations (2 tasks · EN + KO)
Not translation-equivalent: English uses Roman letters; Korean uses Hangul jamo. Calibrated independently per language.
| task | description | en (easy/med/hard) | ko (easy/med/hard) | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cipher |
Decode stacked ciphers (Substitution, Vigenere, Reverse, Playfair, Transposition) | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
cryptarithmetic |
Letters-for-digits arithmetic (SEND+MORE=MONEY style); Korean maps jamo groups | 100 / 100 / 100 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 600 |
3. Korean-Only (5 tasks · KO)
No English counterpart — built on structures specific to the Korean language and culture (kinship terminology, the sexagenary calendar, traditional units, Hangul orthography).
| task | description | ko (easy/med/hard) | total |
|---|---|---|---|
jamo |
Decompose a Hangul syllable into 초성/중성/종성, shift 초성, recompose | 100 / 100 / 100 | 300 |
kinship |
Infer a Korean kinship term from a chain of family relationships (26-way multiple choice) | 100 / 100 / 100 | 300 |
korean_units |
Convert traditional Korean units (평·마지기·되·자·냥, ...) with randomized rates | 100 / 100 / 100 | 300 |
saju |
Compute the four 사주(四柱) pillars from a birth date/time | 100 / 100 / 100 | 300 |
time |
Korean calendar reasoning: holiday anchor + relative-day expression → date / 60갑자 일진 | 100 / 100 / 100 | 300 |
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
# one task
ds = load_dataset("HAERAE-HUB/NOLLI", "sudoku", split="test")
# filter by language / difficulty (both are columns)
ko_hard = ds.filter(lambda x: x["language"] == "ko" and x["difficulty"] == "hard")
Structure
Each config corresponds to one task. All configs share a single test split and the same schema
(the choices column exists only in kinship):
| column | type | description |
|---|---|---|
id |
str | unique example id, e.g. sudoku_ko_0000 |
task |
str | task name (same as config name) |
language |
str | ko or en |
difficulty |
str | easy / medium / hard |
question |
str | full prompt for the model |
choices |
str | JSON-encoded answer choices — only present in the kinship config |
answer |
str | gold answer |
solution |
str | step-by-step reference solution |
