Interestingly, o1-preview gets all 7 solutions in 18 seconds. It also makes short work of Bachet’s Four Weights Problem as recounted at https://ninazumel.com/blog/2024-09-29-four-weights/ .

Pretty smart parrot.

How does it do on problems whose solutions aren't published in 100 hundred year old books?

It doesn't just regurgitate the answer, it shows its work, and it still works if you change the numbers.

Being able to access, apply, and restate reasoning processes described in 100-year-old books isn't the insult you think it is.
