They had to solve the car wash problem by hardcoding the solution in. The AI equivalent of adding another IF statement.

They had to steal the work of researches solving these open problems and then rewrite their solution. The AI equivalent of fraud.

Meh. The car wash problem is an underspecified statement. It's like, hey, I just popped into existence and someone asked me if they should drive to the car wash nearby.

It's not an insane assumption that the user isn't dumb and has some other reason to be asking the question other than it being a trick/stupid question (duh, if you want to wash your car you need to drive it to the car wash!). Taking it as some ultimate measure of intelligence simply doesn't make sense to me.
