The idea behind the Turing test isn't whether they can arrive at the same answer given the tools. The idea is whether a human can tell the difference. I would expect any human to answer with something like, "I don't know." Or, "Let me find my calculator..." Either answer would be a lie for a computational AI -- it would know the answer and not require a calculator. This is, I think, one of the failings of the Turing test. It's easy enough for us to make new humans; making a machine that acts exactly like a human seems like a silly endeavor. I want a machine that can assist us and reinforce our failings. Which means that we can necessarily differentiate it from another human. I vastly prefer that over a machine that has learned to lie to us.
