Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is really messed up for the 5x5 tiling question. Pulls numbers out of the air and justifies them by saying the calculation "is very complex"

Surprisingly its answer for the 3x3 is also incorrect. There should be 4 distinct tiling patterns.

I was greatly inspired by Martin Gardner's "#Mathematical Circus - More #Games, #Puzzles, Paradoxes, & Other Mathematical Entertainments from Scientific American"

Illustrated fake-proof that π=4

The length of the green border is constant; always 4 times the diameter of the circle yet it can be made to approach arbitrarily close to the circumference

While researching domino tilings, #Google's #AI slop bot unhelpfully makes misleading claim when I never asked for it.

Can you prove it wrong?

Plotting the graph to find out how many solutions there were would have misled you into thinking there were only 3

Why did they not all show up in his plot?

Hello lovely Mastodites, here is a quick #introduction - My name is Mela(nie), and I make #computerModels of the #brain After 7 years in #edinburgh I moved to #berlin earlier this year to take up a professorship at #medicalSchoolBerlin . I am here for the #mathsodon #systemsbiology #medicine and #neuro communities, and to think about how we can make #academia better for everyone. And also to nerd out about other stuff I like, including language, running, singing and knitting.
