    Hilarious example of a problem which is so much harder than the tester thinks it is (and thus gets it wrong and says chatgpt is wrong for the wrong reasons on the first attempt). Oh and the ‘correct’ answer wrong, it’s an ok approximation but analytically incorrect. But the tester doesn’t even realize this because they are unqualified to run this test.

    Oh and nobody in the comments appears to realize this either. And this show of math reasoning is ultimately a show of drawing a known and oft repeated basic arithmetic question for a math test that fails to interrogate the assumptions of the problem.

    This is all hilariously infuriating, and I hope the two people who read the Lemmy comments enjoy the answer:

    https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1633704/calculating-the-length-of-the-paper-on-a-toilet-paper-roll

    (Also also, the fact that chat gpt failed the easier version so many times is hilarious in its own right)
