It's that time again, and there's a slight change!!! GPT-6: Fails Gemini 3.1-pro: Fails Opus 6: **Success**! I asked it twice and it was right both times, both in terms of calculating who wins and the chain of logic that works out why Opus 6 is the first model that has ever succeeded on this task.

Inspired by @proptermalone.bsky.social 's plan of having Opus 4.6 figure out the matches for bluesky 3CB (which i will definitely be participating in) I tried this task once again with Opus 4.6. It does better than previous models! But it still gets the wrong answer.

The Lore is that there was a programmer that found it helpful, when working on a problem or tracing a bug, to describe the issue in detail to a rubber duck, probably while taking a bath The practice caught on, hence "rubber ducking" or using something as a rubber duck
