Asking it to convert 32 to binary was a bit of an eye opener. It gave me multiple completely incorrect ways of doing so (resulting in 0100 or something each time) despite me informing it it was wrong. It'd say things like 'the 24th place, then the 23rd place are 0's which just made no sense in terms of the query (I suppose technically correct if you really want to pad left) - but I had to think about it because it was saying superficially plausible things (like '24' seems somehow relevant because it's 8+16, but of course that's totally irrelevant to the actual question).

That said in other respects it is pretty amazing, so I'll definitely not dismiss it, it can replace Google for a fairly decent set of queries so long as you know the subject matter well enough.
