Nailed every one. Some by saying not possible to answer but still.


Got the 'five character word' question wrong. Admittedly I also thought it was correct at first glance but then went back when someone called it out in another comment.


I tried it with Bing (precise/creative) and it got both attempts right.

"Their house never holds fewer books."

"Every night, stars shine above."


Language models struggle specifically with token games like this, since they can’t see them at that resolution or something.


Didn't nail the Rodgers and Hammerstein one; it still doesn't understand the reference to the ballet or that the "themes" in the question are musical.


I wouldn’t be surprised if half the Internet does not know that a ballet is part of a larger show.


Half??


O.K., less than half know that the ballet is scheduled at appropriate times so the friends of the girls can get some bar time in without undue hassle.


Japan one seems wrong or at least wrongly explained. Japan controls Okinotorishima which is at 20 degrees north.

But still impressive deductive reasoning.


In case anyone wants to know what the southernmost part of Japan looks like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinotorishima#/media/File:Oki...


I also counted 4 errors in the sentence, not 3. "no help" should be "any help". This might just be conventionally wrong, not technically wrong I suppose.


The Haj answer is still wrong; it says it has 8 chapters, while according to Knuth it has 77 chapters.
