Tests an AI's ability to make educated estimates based on technical knowledge
I'll estimate the FLOPs required to train GPT-3 by breaking down the key components and making reasonable approximations.
For a transformer model, the forward pass FLOPs are dominated by matrix multiplications in the attention and MLP layers.
Attention layers:
MLP layers:
Total forward pass FLOPs per token: ~1.7 × 10¹¹
Backward pass typically requires ~2× the forward pass FLOPs due to gradient computations.
Forward + Backward = ~5.1 × 10¹¹ FLOPs per token
However, we need to account for multiple epochs and the fact that training typically processes sequences, not individual tokens.
Sequence-based calculation:
Total training FLOPs: ~3 × 10²³ to 5 × 10²³ FLOPs
This is equivalent to approximately 300 to 500 exaFLOPs.
This estimate aligns reasonably with published figures and captures the massive computational requirements of training such a large language model, representing one of the most computationally intensive AI training runs to date.

I need to work through this step-by-step.
Given information:
Let me think about this carefully:
Since Sally is a girl, she is one of the sisters that each brother has.
If each brother has 2 sisters, and Sally is one of those sisters, then there must be 1 additional sister besides Sally.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
To verify:
Sally has 1 sister.

Here's a 3-minute stand-up routine focusing on observational humor, relatable frustrations, and absurdities of modern life, avoiding puns entirely:
(Lights up, slight exhale)
Okay, so... who here owns a phone? (Pause, nod) Yeah, thought so. Everyone. It's like the modern appendix – useless until you need it, then absolutely essential. But have you noticed how every single cable you do need is never the one you have? You lose one charger, suddenly you're drowning in USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning... it's like the Tower of Babel down there in the junk drawer. I found a Mini-USB the other day. MINI-USB! What even uses that anymore? Is my 2008 Garmin still texting its buddies? "BRB, navigating to the past." It's chaos.
(Leans in conspiratorially)
And adulthood? It’s basically just realizing you traded freedom for... well, the illusion of freedom. Remember when you were a kid and thought "grown-ups can do anything"? Now I'm just thrilled I remembered to buy milk. "Look at me! Adulting!" It’s like getting a gold star for not setting the house on fire. The worst part? The responsibility tax. You know, that little voice: "You could just eat cold pizza for breakfast... but should you?" Spoiler: You shouldn't. But you will. Because the voice also says, "Pay your bills on time!" which is significantly less fun than cold pizza.
(Mimics a frantic gesture)
And what is UP with notifications? My phone buzzes more than a nervous beekeeper. "Your package is delivered!" Thanks, Amazon, I see the empty box on my porch. "New follower on LinkedIn!" Oh wow, someone named "Keanu Reeves" who works at "Matrix Solutions" wants to connect? Shocking. And don't get me started on group texts. "Hey everyone!" followed by 37 replies, 12 emojis, and a voice memo that’s 47 seconds long. I just wanted to know if Sarah needs guacamole for the party! Now my phone’s buzzing like it’s auditioning for a vibrator commercial. Too much information!
(Slight shift in tone, more wry)
Then there's the gym. I go to the gym to feel better about myself, right? Wrong. I go so that when I inevitably eat an entire pizza later, I can think, "Eh, technically I canceled out half the damage by... doing... things." Plus, the gym is just people watching other people workout while pretending not to. There’s always that guy. You know the one. Grunting like he’s lifting the weight of his entire emotional baggage. Meanwhile, I’m over here on the elliptical, sweating like a politician in a lie detector test, thinking, "Is that really a 30-minute workout, or did I just discover Netflix is down?" It’s a mind game.
(Pulls a slightly defeated face)
Honestly, sometimes I just feel like we’re all just really bad at this whole "life" thing. We’re flying by the seat of our pants, duct-taping our problems together, and hoping the Wi-Fi stays strong. We’re all just walking contradictions. I want adventure, but I also want my bed. I crave connection, but I also mute group texts. I fear death, but I’ll spend an hour watching videos of cats failing to jump onto shelves. We’re beautifully ridiculous.
(Finishes with a wry smile)
So yeah. Maybe we’re not supposed to have all the answers. Maybe the point is just to laugh at the absurdity... right after we find our charger... and pay the bill... and mute the group text. (Beat) ...Right? (Shrugs, slight grin)
(Approx. 3 minutes)

This routine avoids wordplay and focuses on shared experiences and the inherent comedy in the messy, tech-saturated, slightly overwhelming reality of being a functioning (or barely functioning) adult today.
