I think the "fee/interest" argument made by "Wrath of Math" here is silly because it implies someone so heavily invested in math has apparently never heard of a friction-less plane in a vacuum.

It's a math problem guy we're not actually concerned about paying back the pawn broker's fees.

arXiv: Proof or Bluff? Evaluating LLMs on 2025 USA Math Olympiad. β€œUsing expert human annotators, we evaluated several state-of-the-art reasoning models on the six problems from the 2025 USAMO within hours of their release. Our results reveal that all tested models struggled significantly, achieving less than 5% on average. Through detailed analysis of reasoning traces, we identify the most […]
