And judging by some comments here, humans must have gotten dumber since then. Or we would never have invented writing, agriculture or even basic clothing. "This problem is actually not that easy, the average person couldn't solve it either, especially if the numbers were bigger", "Yet another cherrypicked clickbait study to make LLMs look bad, those people are just scared of being made obsolete", etc.

> Or we would never have invented writing, agriculture or even basic clothing. That's the thing. We had to invent those things. Along with counting, numbers, logic, arithmetic, and those stupid-ass annoying family tree riddles. We didn't get them in one step, it took a long time to build one on top of the previous. Generation by generation, each cohort of children growing up in a slightly more complex world than their parents, each generation taught how to navigate this complexity by their families and tribes. Learning a growing collection of facts and beliefs and life hacks. There were no untrained people for as long as humanity existed. The minimum reproductive unit of homo sapiens is a village.
