I just tried it in ChatGPT "Auto" and it didn't work

Though it did work when using "Extensive Thinking". The model wrote a Python program to solve this.

> Almost balanced — ((((()))))) has 5 opening parentheses and 6 closing parentheses, so it has one extra ).

> A balanced version would be: ((((()))))

Testing a couple of different models without a harness such that no tool calls are possible would be interesting

Weird. I tried in chatGPT auto and it worked perfectly. I tried like 10 variations. I also did the letters in words. Got all of them right.

The one thing I did trip it up on was "Is there the sh sound in the word transportation". It said no. And then realized I asked for "sound" not letters. It then subsequently got the rest of the "sounds-like" tests I did.

Clearly, my ChatGPT is just better than yours.
