I recently tried a Fermi estimation problem on a bunch of LLMs and they all failed spectacularly. It was crossing too many orders of magnitude, all the zeroes muddled them up.
E.g.: the right way to work with numbers like a “trillion trillion” is to concentrate on the powers of ten, not to write the number out in full.
