Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

The question is based on assumptions. That takes advanced reading skills. I’m surprised it was 71% passing, to be honest. (The humans, that is)

What assumptions do you mean? I've seen a few people say that, but I don't actually understand what they're referring to. Here's the text of the question posed in the article:

I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

The question specifically notes they want to wash their car, so that part isn't left to assumption. Even if you don't assume an automatic car wash, would you assume they have a 50m hose? Or that you could plausibly walk that far away with something from the car wash to wash your car?

Personally, I'd agree with the assessment of the article, that the only plausible way to get the question "wrong" would be to focus too much on the short distance, missing/forgetting that the purpose of the trip requires you to have the car at the destination. (Not too surprising that 30% of people did lol)
