What makes this interesting is that while the question is online (on reddit, from 10 years ago) other models don't get the answer right. Gemini also shows it's work and it seems to do a few orders of magnitude more calculating then the elegant answer given on reddit.

Granted this is all way over my head, but the solution gemini comes to matches the one given on reddit (and now here in future training runs)

65×26×39=65910

I don't think Gemini does an unnecessary amount of computation, it's just more verbose. This is typical of reasoning models, almost every step is necessary but many would not be written down by a human.
