Filtering to 2025\n```sql\nWHERE o.created_at >= '2025-01-01' AND o.created_at < '2026-01-01'\n```\nA **sargable** range filter (no function wrapping the column) ensures index usage on `created_at`. This covers all of 2025 regardless of whether `created_at` is `DATE`, `TIMESTAMP`, or `TIMESTAMPTZ`.\n\n### 2. Aggregation\n```sql\nGROUP BY c.country, c.id, c.name\n```\nWe group by `c.id` (the primary key) alongside `country` and `name` to correctly handle the edge case where **two customers in the same country share the same name**. `SUM(o.total)` then gives each customer's lifetime spend within 2025.\n\n### 3. Window Function — `RANK()`\n```sql\nRANK() OVER (PARTITION BY c.country ORDER BY SUM(o.total) DESC) AS rank\n```\n- **`PARTITION BY c.country`** — restarts ranking for every country.\n- **`ORDER BY SUM(o.total) DESC`** — highest spender gets rank 1.\n- **`RANK()`** is chosen deliberately: if two customers are tied at rank 3, both are included (ranks 1, 2, 3, 3) and no one is silently dropped. Use `ROW_NUMBER()` instead if you want exactly 3 rows per country even when ties exist, or `DENSE_RANK()` if you want consecutive ranks with ties.\n\n### 4.

By turning kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil, you reduce landfill waste while creating free fertilizer. Here's everything you need to know to get started.\n\n## Choosing the Right Location\n\nPlace your compost bin on a level, well-drained spot in your yard, ideally in partial shade. Full sun can dry out your pile too quickly, while deep shade may keep it too cool and damp. Position it somewhere convenient enough that you'll actually use it — near the kitchen door or along your garden path. Make sure the bin sits directly on bare soil, which allows beneficial worms and microorganisms to move in naturally.\n\n## What to Add\n\nSuccessful composting relies on balancing two types of materials: **greens** (nitrogen-rich) and **browns** (carbon-rich). Aim for roughly a 3:1 ratio of browns to greens.\n\n**Greens include:**\n- Fruit and vegetable scraps\n- Coffee grounds and tea bags\n- Fresh grass clippings\n- Plant trimmings\n\n**Browns include:**\n- Dry leaves and straw\n- Cardboard and newspaper (shredded)\n- Eggshells\n- Wood chips and sawdust (untreated)\n\n## What to Avoid\n\nCertain items can attract pests, introduce disease, or slow down decomposition. **Never add** meat, fish, dairy products, or oily/greasy foods. Avoid pet waste from dogs or cats, as it can harbor harmful pathogens. Diseased plants, chemically treated wood, and glossy or coated paper should also stay out of the bin.\n\n## How Long Does It Take?\n\nWith regular turning and a good balance of materials, you can expect finished compost in **three to six months**. Hot composting methods — where the pile reaches internal temperatures of 130–160°F — can produce results in as little as four to eight weeks. Cold composting, where you simply pile materials and let nature take its course, may take six months to a year. You'll know it's ready when the compost is dark, crumbly, and smells like fresh earth.\n\n## One Common Mistake\n\nThe most frequent beginner error is **making the pile too wet**. Excess moisture suffocates the aerobic bacteria that drive decomposition, creating a slimy, foul-smelling mess. If your pile stinks, add more browns like shredded cardboard or dry leaves, and turn it to introduce airflow. Your compost should feel like a wrung-out sponge — moist but never soggy.\n\nHappy composting!", "latency_ms": 15535, "cost": 0.01561, "task_score": 5, "judges": [ { "judge": "google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview", "score": 5, "violates": true, "reasoning": "The response provides excellent, accurate, and well-structured advice covering all required topics.
