+What we want to test for each task:
+- The task is initialized correctly
+- The task contains a query
+- The task contains a reference answer
+- Task contains a query_time
+- Task contains a reference_time
+- The task formats correctly
+- All task fields are present as expected
+- Tasks have reward definitions
