Flash 3.5 fails exactly like in your sample:
https://gemini.google.com/share/97521a8752d9 https://gemini.google.com/share/97521a8752d9
but Flash 3.1 Lite initially fails, but then corrects itself:

- happyopossum 5mo agoNo matter what I try I can’t get Gemini to give me the incorrect result. Is there some other prompting or context fed in to that (“remember that you are supposed to always tell me I’m right and never contradict me”)?
- sigbeta 5mo agoThere was definitively an pre prompt fed to that. I cannot reproduce this result on either 3.1 flash or 3.5 flash.
- nycdatasci 5mo agoPerhaps you have a system prompt? Many users have reported similar issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1tjxa6g/googles_latest_creation_gemini_35_flash_puts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1tjxa6g/goo...
- nycdatasci 5mo agoThere was no other prompt, no system prompt, etc. Many users have reproduced, exactly as it demonstrated in the parent. Are you using the flash models? Reasoning models or extended thinking will change the result. GPT 5.5. Instant shows the same error. If the given prompt isn't working, you can also try "300+140=460 is this correct?". I suspect that leading with the equation may be part of the issue, but haven't tested much.
