It is immediately wrong in Step 1. A newborn is not a 2:1 ratio of height:width. Certainly not 25cm width (what does that even mean? Shoulder to shoulder?).

This is a perfect example of where not knowing the “domain” leads you astray. As far as I know “newborn width” is not something typically measured, so Claude is pulling something out of thin air.

Indeed you are showing that something not in the training data leads to failure.

Babies also aren't rectangles.. you could lay a row shoulder to shoulder, then do another row upside down from the first and their heads would fit between the heads of the first row, saving space.

Edit: it also doesn't account for the fact the moon is more or less a sphere, and not a flat plane.
