Tour participants stop at a location on the Sniffy the Rat 10th Anniversary Bus Tour [Photograph 1]: The Sniffy the Rat 10th Anniversary Bus Tour
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Sniffy the Rat 10th Anniversary Bus Tour took participants on a luxury bus tour for an in-depth examination of the story behind Vancouver's most famous rodent. n 1990, Rich Gibson threatened to squash a feeder rat he named Sniffy between two canvas-lined concrete blocks as a performance event, which provoked a public debate in Vancouver and internationally. The 10th Anniversary Bus Tour visited the sites that made the Sniffy story happen. Ian Ross MacDonald served as tour guide, while Ron Samworth on guitar stood in as Sniffy. Participants wore bright yellow garbage bags, took a bus to the various locations related to Sniffy around Vancouver while watching a prepared video on the bus television sets. Participants stopped and took photos with Sniffy at the various locations. The tour ended at the Railway Club, where, in 1990, Gibson's supporters fled a media horde led by Pamela Wallin.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
