Your neural network just learned to flawlessly answer any question you send it! Time to put it to good use!

No, this is because the testing set can be derived from the training set.

Overfitting alone can't get you to 1.

I like how specifically this relates to my experience with the discount factor gamma in Reinforcement Learning. Like, pretty close to the exact numbers (though missing 0.99 and 0.999)
