If I ask, "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

It says, "Walk — it's 50 meters, about a 30-second stroll. Driving that distance to a car wash would be a bit circular anyway!"

However, if I ask, "The car wash is 50 meters away. I want to wash my car. Should I walk or drive?"

It says, "Drive — it's a car wash! You kind of need the car there. "

Note the slight difference in the sentence order.

I just tried with chatgpt. It suggests walking in both cases.

Same. It even said:

    "Since the car wash is only 50 meters away (about half a football field), you should walk.
    ...
    When driving might make sense instead:
    
    You need to move the car into the wash bay.
    ..."

So close.

Interestingly, Sonnet 4.6 basically gave up after 10 attempts (whatever that means).
