Ahha, recently my daugher come to me with 3rd grade math problem. "Without rearranging the digits 1 2 3 4 5, insert mathematical operation signs and, if necessary, parentheses between them so that the resulting expression equals 40 and 80. The key is that you can combine digits (like 12+3/45) but you cannot change their order from the original sequence 1,2,3,4,5"

Grok3, Claude, Deepseek, Qwen all failed to solve this problem. Resulting in some very very wrong solutions. While Grok3 were admit it fail and don't provide answers all other AI's are provided just plain wrong answers, like `12 * 5 = 80`

ChatGPT were able to solve for 40, but not able to 80. YandexGPT solved those correctly (maybe it were trained on same Math books)

Just checked Grok3 few more times. It were able to solve correctly for 80.

Geez. Who teaches this 3rd-grade class, Prof. Xavier?

Interestingly, the R1 1.58-bit dynamic quant model was able to sort of solve it. I changed the problem statement a bit to request only the solution for 40 and to tell it what operations it can use, both needed to keep from blowing out the limited context available on my machine (128MB RAM + 24MB GPU).

Took almost 3 hours and it wigged out a bit at the end, rambling about Lisp in Chinese, but it got an almost-valid answer: 1 * (2 + 3) * (4 + 5) - 5 (https://pastebin.com/ggL85RWJ) I didn't think it would get that far.
