I'd like to see a human solve a maze of equal proportion as that of the mouse to its maze, in less than 5 mins. The human has the advantage of observing the entire maze, from a top down perspective. If an ai had such an advantage it would solve the maze instantaneously.
But, of course no robot has yet been conceived that can solve a maze, paint a portrait, and solve calculus problems. The average human can do all of these things, but, for the most part, very poorly.

@Resuna I agree. It was surprising to hear that 5 minutes is allowed for the entire operation and that each competitor gets multiple starts. Still, if you consider most mouse maze experiments, scientists aren't just testing a rodent's ability to find cheese, they're testing how well they remember their own path to the cheese. In that light, the rules make more sense.

I would have expected mapping the maze to be included in the time.
