Mark,

Why do you think that a Legg-Hutter style intelligence test would
not expose an agent to things it hadn't seen before?

To have a significant level of intelligence an agent must be able
to deal with environments that are full of surprises and unknowns.
Agents that can't do this would only be able to deal with the most
basic environments, and thus would have a relatively low universal
intelligence value.

Cheers
Shane
