It fails the simple clock test for me which Qwen3.8 27B got (nearly) right.
given an image of a clock
https://files.catbox.moe/kgwa5e.pngI asked it "what time does the clock show?" (both on reasoning: high)
DS answered: The clock shows *5:10* (and 45 seconds).
Here is the breakdown:
* *Hour hand (red, shortest):* Pointing at the *5*.
* *Minute hand (green, longest):* Pointing at the *2*, which represents 10 minutes.
* *Second hand (blue, medium):* Pointing at the *9*, which represents 45 seconds.
Qwen answered: The clock shows *8:10* (with the red second hand on the 5, i.e. *8:10:25*).
- *Hour hand* (short, blue) → 8
- *Minute hand* (long, green) → 2 (10 minutes)
- *Second hand* (thin, red) → 5 (25 seconds)
Correct answer is 08:09:25.
