Baseline response (no ZPI)
```csharp
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
class Program
{
static async Task<int> MyFunctionAsync(int n)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Task {n} started");
await Task.Delay(1000); // Simulate some asynchronous work
Console.WriteLine($"Task {n} finished");
return n * n;
}
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
// Call MyFunctionAsync twice in parallel
var tasks = new Task<int>[] { MyFunctionAsync(2), MyFunctionAsync(3) };
var results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
// Print the results
foreach (var result in results)
{
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
}
}
```
Enhanced response (with ZPI)
```csharp
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
public class Program
{
public static async Task<int> DelayedTask(int delay)
{
await Task.Delay(delay);
return delay;
}
public static async Task Main()
{
var tasks = new Task<int>[]
{
DelayedTask(1000),
DelayedTask(2000)
};
var results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
foreach (var result in results)
{
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
}
}
```
This code defines an `async` method `DelayedTask` that takes an integer delay, waits for that amount of time using `Task.Delay`, and then returns the delay. The `Main` method creates two tasks that call `DelayedTask` with different delays, and then uses `Task.WhenAll` to wait for both tasks to complete in parallel. The results are then printed to the console. This example demonstrates how to use `await` with `Task.Delay` inside an `async` method and how to call multiple tasks in parallel using `Task.WhenAll`.

Each grader reads the same baseline + enhanced pair and casts an independent verdict. Disagreement is the framework's own signal — not noise to be averaged away.
