it really is just incredible how much gpt-5 (including the reasoner) spirals on this and how poor its metacognition is (honestly, it's pretty cute how hard it tries). occasionally the reasoner can figure it out but it always takes over a minute of thinking and i assume a massive amount of tokens

by contrast, opus almost immediately figures out the issue
