Don't know if it has much of an effect on the answers but the prompts refer to the "hundredth digit" where they should read the "hundreds digit".
The "hundreds digit" being the third from the right, whereas the "hundredth digit" would be one hundred digits from (presumably) the left, as in "the hundredth digit of pi".
This is English as I would use it. YMMV.
Having written the above and with my hand hoverig over the "send" button, I wondered what GPT would think so I asked it:
'What is the difference between "the hundreds digit" and "the hundredth digit"?'
It answered:
'"The hundreds digit" refers to the digit in the hundreds place of a number, while "the hundredth digit" refers to the second digit after the decimal point in a number.'
An interesting interpretation that hadn't occurred to me!
