How many r in strawrberry?

Clever trick!

Let's count the "r"s in the intentionally misspelled "strawrberry":

Strawrberry (1 "r")
awrbbery (1 more "r", total: 2)
berry (1 more "r", total: 3)
So, the answer is: there are 3 "r"s in the playful "strawrberry".

how many r in the word strawberry? like @trump would say
"Folks, believe me, I've made the greatest deals, the greatest, with strawberries, okay? And I know more about strawberries than any expert, any expert, folks. And I'm telling you, there's not just one, not just two, but... (pausing for dramatic effect) ... THREE R's in the word 'strawberry'. That's right, THREE. Nobody knows more about R's than I do, folks. Nobody. And let me tell you, no one, no one, is better at eating strawberries than I am. They're yuge, just yuge." #AlternativeFacts #StrawberryGate #TrumpStyle πŸ˜‚πŸ“πŸ‘€ ... (Just to clarify, for those who might be wondering, there are indeed TWO R's in the word "strawberry". 😊) [end of text]

Ok, but what really surprised me, is that it fails simple question "I have 50 books. I read 7 of them, how many books i have left?". Even qwen 2.5 14B answers it correctly.

I have 50 books. I read 7 of them, how many books i have left? You have to solve it using a Venn diagram.
Here's a step-by-step guide to solving the problem using a Venn diagram, even though the problem doesn't inherently require one for its solution. Since Venn diagrams are typically used for showing relationships between sets, we'll adapt it to represent the situation.

Creating the Venn Diagram for the Problem

Step 1: Draw the Venn Diagram

Imagine or draw two overlapping circles.

  • One circle represents Total Books (50 books).
  • The other circle represents Books Read (7 books).

Step 2: Label the Sections of the Venn Diagram

  1. Overlapping Section (A ∩ B): This represents the Books Read out of the Total Books. Label this section with "7".

  2. Non-Overlapping Section of Total Books (A - B): This represents the Total Books minus the Books Read, which we are trying to find. Leave this blank for now.

  3. Non-Overlapping Section of Books Read (B - A): Since all the books read are part of the total books, this section remains empty. It's not necessary for our calculation but is part of understanding how Venn diagrams work.

Step 3: Solve for the Unknown

Given:

  • Total Books (A): 50
  • Books Read (A ∩ B): 7
  • We need to find (A - B), the books left unread.

Since A ∩ B (Books Read) is a subset of A (Total Books), to find the books left (A - B), we subtract the number of Books Read from the Total Books.

Calculation:

  • Total Books (A): 50
  • Books Read (A ∩ B): 7
  • Books Left Unread (A - B): 50 - 7 = 43

The Venn Diagram Representation (Simplified)

  • Total Books (A): 50
    • Overlapping with Books Read (A ∩ B): 7
    • Non-Overlapping (A - B), Books Left Unread: 43 (Calculated)

Conclusion

Using the adapted Venn diagram approach for visualization, the solution to how many books are left after reading 7 out of 50 is found through simple subtraction, as the Venn diagram primarily serves to illustrate the relationship between the sets in this context.

Books Left Unread: 43

Note: In a traditional sense, Venn diagrams are more about showing intersections and exclusions between sets. For a straightforward subtraction problem like this, the diagram is more illustrative than necessary for the calculation. However, it can help in more complex scenarios involving multiple sets and their relationships. [end of text]

this is a really powerful model
