It's allowed to ask it's programmers an arbitrary amount of stupid questions and just halt refusing to do anything if they are unavailable to answer them.

It's allowed to just Google things, ask about them on Stack Exchange, or enlist Mechanical Turk rather than coming up with it's own solutions to every problem.

it doesn't need to work in real time; it's OK if you have to run it for 5 minutes to answer a question a human could instantly as long as the quality is just as good.

It doesn't need to pass the aspects of the Turing test that have to do with mimicking the flaws of humans convincingly.

It can run on cloud servers the team can only afford to rent for just as long as it takes for it to FOOM. Specificaly once you have an AI that could FOOM on the computer you have currently in decades, you can rent cloud servers that do those same calculations in minutes.
