The problem with evaluating LLMs is that there's a random component, and the specific wording of prompts is so important. I asked Claude to explain the problem, then write python to solve it. When it ran there was an exception, so I pasted that back in and got the correct answer. I'm not sure what this says about theory of mind (the first script it wrote was organized into steps based on who knew what when, so it seems to grok that), but the real lesson is that if LLMs are an emulation of "human" intelligence, they should probably be given a python interpreter to check their work.
