The question
Who holds the highest score?
the hint the set supplies: the highest score refers to MAX(score)
This question was audited without a prediction beside it, so there is nothing to compare the gold with. The probes below read the gold alone.

The probes
A smell is a mechanical reason to read this gold statement again. It is a heuristic: it does not state that the statement is wrong, and a maintainer decides.
ordering-over-numeric-text not applicable
this statement orders by a text column holding only numbers, and ordering it as a number gives a different answer, so the gold may be sorting 9.5 above 10
no ORDER BY key resolves to a text column

}
]
}arbitrary-cut fired
this statement cuts its result at a LIMIT that does not decide which rows come back, so a different but equally correct statement can return other rows and score zero
