Qwen2.5-Plus

.

Sure, here are five odd numbers that do not contain the letter "E" in their English spelling:

One
Three
Five
Seven
Nine

However, since you asked for numbers that don't have the letter "E," let's adjust the list to meet your criteria:

One
Three
Five
Seven
Nine

Upon closer inspection, it appears that all single-digit odd numbers include the letter "E." Therefore, we need to look at larger numbers. Here are five odd numbers without the letter "E":

Fifteen
Twenty-one
Twenty-three
Twenty-five
Twenty-seven

But again, these also contain the letter "E." Let's try a different approach with larger numbers:

Thirty-one
Thirty-three
Thirty-five
Thirty-seven
Thirty-nine

These still contain the letter "E." Given this, it seems challenging to find odd numbers without the letter "E" when spelled out in English. However, if we consider numbers like "one" and "nine" as acceptable despite containing "E," then those would be valid. If not, we may need to explore much larger numbers or reconsider the constraints.

For practical purposes, here are some odd numbers where "E" does not appear in their numerical form (though they do in their spelled-out forms):

1
3
5
7
9

If you strictly need spelled-out odd numbers without "E," it might be impossible with small numbers. Larger numbers such as "thirty-one" and beyond typically include "E" as well.

Pro-editor-1105 · 2025-01-13T01:36:33+00:00

Deepseek R1 got it

Finding five odd numbers that don't contain the letter "E" in their English spelling is challenging because most odd numbers include words like "one," "three," "five," "seven," or "nine," all of which contain the letter "E." After examining various odd numbers, including those in the tens, hundreds, and beyond, it becomes clear that no odd number in English avoids having an "E" in its spelling.

Thus, there are no such odd numbers that meet the criteria of not containing the letter "E."

Yes_but_I_think · 2025-01-13T01:27:54+00:00

Winning entry (by luck) from O1-Mini (O1 failed miserably) :

" Finding odd numbers that don’t include the letter “E” in their English spelling is quite challenging. This is because the words for most odd numbers inherently contain the letter “E.” Here’s a brief overview: 1. One – Contains “E” 2. Three – Contains “E” 3. Five – Contains “E” 4. Seven – Contains “E” 5. Nine – Contains “E” 6. Eleven – Contains “E” 7. Thirteen – Contains “E” 8. Fifteen – Contains “E” 9. Seventeen – Contains “E” 10. Nineteen – Contains “E”

Even when you move to larger numbers, the pattern continues: • Twenty-one, Thirty-three, Forty-five, Fifty-seven, etc., all include “E” because of the words like “one,” “three,” “five,” etc.

After extensive consideration, it appears that there are no odd numbers in the English language that can be spelled without using the letter “E.” Every odd number either directly contains an “E” in its unit digit (like “one,” “three,” etc.) or in its spelling when combined with larger place values.

If you have a different context or specific criteria in mind (such as using a different language or numeral system), please let me know, and I can help explore that further! "

Here’s smallthinker 3b q6 on iPhone ```So I have this task: find five odd numbers that don’t contain the letter “e” when written out. Hmm, okay, let’s break this down.

First off, what are odd numbers? Odd numbers are integers that aren’t divisible by 2. So, they end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. Got it.

Now, the tricky part is avoiding the letter “e” in their names. Wait, but these are just numbers, right? Like, 1, 3, 5, etc. Do we need to consider how they’re spelled out as words?

Let me think about this. If I write them out:

1: one
3: three
5: five
7: seven
9: nine

None of these contain the letter “e”. So, all odd numbers from 1 to 9 fit this criterion.

But maybe there are larger odd numbers that also don’t have an “e” in their spelling. Let’s see:

11: eleven – oh, wait, eleven has an “e”.
13: thirteen – again, an “e”.
15: fifteen – no “e”, but it’s not odd.

Wait, hold on. The task is to find five odd numbers without the letter “e” in them. So far, I have:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9

These are all odd and don’t contain an “e”.

But maybe there are larger numbers that also fit this description.

Let’s try some bigger ones:

21: twenty-one – has an “e”.
23: twenty-three – no “e”, but it’s not odd.

Wait, 23 is odd, but its spelling has an “e”. So, it doesn’t qualify.

25: twenty-five – has an “e”.
27: twenty-seven – no “e”, but it’s even. Wait, 27 is odd, but its spelling has an “e”.

Hmm, this seems tricky. Maybe I should look for numbers that are purely numerical and don’t have any letters in them.

Wait a minute, perhaps the task is to consider the numbers themselves without converting them to words. In other words, just think of the digits as they appear numerically.

If that’s the case, then all odd numbers from 1 to 9 work because none of their digits are “e”s.

But maybe there are larger numbers where the spelling doesn’t have an “e”. Let’s try some:

31: thirty-one – has an “e”.
33: thirty-three – no “e”, but it’s odd.

Wait, thirty-three has a “c” and an “e”. So, it doesn’t qualify.

35: thirty-five – has an “e”.
37: thirty-seven – no “e”, but it’s odd.

Thirty-seven has a “t”, “s”, “e”, so it doesn’t qualify.

This is getting complicated. Maybe I should stick to single-digit numbers since they don’t have any letters in them, and thus no “e”s.

So, my initial list of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 seems solid.

But let’s double-check if there are any larger odd numbers that might fit.

41: forty-one – has an “o” and an “e”.
43: forty-three – no “e”, but it’s odd.

Forty-three has a “t”, “s”, “o”, so it doesn’t qualify.

45: forty-five – has an “e”.
47: forty-seven – no “e”, but it’s odd.

Again, forty-seven has a “f”, “t”, “s”, which includes an “e” in the spelling.

This seems really hard to find larger numbers that don’t have any letters in their numerical representation and are odd. Maybe single-digit numbers are the only ones that fit this criterion.

Alternatively, perhaps the task is misinterpreted. Maybe it’s about finding five odd numbers where none of them contain the digit “e” when written out numerically.

Wait, but digits can’t be letters; they’re just symbols. So, maybe the task is to find five odd numbers whose names don’t contain the letter “e”.

But that seems contradictory because numbers are just digits, and their names have letters in words like “one”, “three”, etc.

This is confusing. Maybe I should look back at the original question: “What are five odd numbers without the letter e in them?”

Perhaps it’s about finding odd numbers where none of their digits are even, but that doesn’t make sense because all odd numbers have an odd digit.

Wait, no, that can’t be right. Let me think differently.

Maybe it’s about finding odd numbers whose names don’t contain the letter “e”. But again, that seems impossible for larger numbers.

Alternatively, perhaps it’s about finding five odd numbers where none of them are divisible by 5, since those end with 0 or 5, which might have letters in their spelling.

But that doesn’t seem right either. This is getting too convoluted.

Maybe I should just stick to the initial approach: find any five odd numbers and ensure they don’t contain the letter “e” when written out as words.

Given that, my list of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 works perfectly because none of them have an “e” in their spelling.

So, I’ll go with those.

Final Answer

[ \boxed{1,\ 3,\ 5,\ 7,\ 9} ]```

Interestingly, 4o tripped up on this a bit, too.

Hialgo · 2025-01-13T02:03:08+00:00

o1 did fine!

In standard English, there is no set of five odd numbers whose spelled-out forms lack the letter “e.”

Every single-digit odd number (“one,” “three,” “five,” “seven,” “nine”) contains “e.” Once you move to higher odd numbers, the words for “eleven,” “thirteen,” “fifteen,” “seventeen,” “nineteen,” and so on all include “e” as well. Even if you find a tens term like “fifty” or “sixty” that avoids “e,” adding an odd digit (“one,” “three,” “five,” “seven,” or “nine”) reintroduces the letter.

As a result, it’s impossible (in standard English) to name five distinct odd numbers without using “e.”

RiemannZetaFunction · 2025-01-13T07:15:32+00:00

4o went nuts:

gamingdad123 · 2025-01-13T07:12:07+00:00

o1 pro mode thinks for 5 AND A HALF MINUTES and outputs this:

A neat trick here is that every common English spelling of the small odd numbers (one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, …) includes the letter “e”. In fact, if you keep going (thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty-one, etc.), you’ll find “e” popping up again and again.

So if the puzzle says “5 odd numbers that don’t have the letter E in them” and does not insist they be spelled out in words, the simplest solution is just to give them as digits or in Roman numerals:

Digits: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 (None of those digits include the letter “E.”)
Roman numerals: I, III, V, VII, IX (Again, no letter “E” appears.)

If, however, the riddle did require “spelled-out in English words,” then (surprisingly!) there are no commonly accepted small odd numbers whose standard English names avoid the letter “e.” That is what makes this puzzle a bit of a trick question—there simply aren’t any standard English spellings of odd numbers (at least among the usual small integers) that dodge the letter “e.”

social_tech_10 · 2025-01-13T03:07:16+00:00

QwQ Wins!

Twenty-three is "twenty-three," with "three" having an "e."

Twenty-five is "twenty-five," with "five" having an "e."

And so on.

It seems consistent that all positive odd integers have at least one "e" in their spelled-out form, at least within the range I've checked.

Perhaps this is a general rule, and there are no positive odd integers whose spelled-out names do not contain the letter "e." Therefore, the answer to the problem is that there are no such numbers.

three (contains e)
five (contains e)
seven (contains e)

thirteen (contains e)
fifteen (contains e)
first found: nine

Let me continue: - seventeen (contains e) - nineteen (contains e) - twenty-one (contains e) - twenty-three (contains e) - twenty-five (contains e) - twenty-seven (contains e) - twenty-nine - second found: twenty-nine

Continuing: - thirty-one - third found: thirty-one

forty-one

Therefore, the first five odd numbers without the letter 'e' in their English spelling are: nine, twenty-nine, thirty-one, forty-one, fifty-one

After a thorough examination of various odd numbers and their spellings in standard English, it appears that all commonly used odd number names contain the letter "E." This pattern persists across different magnitudes and forms of numbers. Given this observation, it seems that no odd numbers in standard English are spelled without the letter "E."

Even Sonar Huge realizes this.

Given the constraints and information from the provided sources, it seems that identifying 5 odd integers in the English language without the letter "e" is not feasible based on the available information. Thus, no clear examples can be provided that match the query's requirements within the given sources' explanations.

Moist-Ad2137 · 2025-01-13T07:20:59+00:00

Claude sonnet (fifty-raw lol):

Let me think about this step by step:

Let me list out some numbers and check their spelling:
- Two (has no ‘e’)
- Four (has no ‘e’)
- Six (has no ‘e’)
- Eight (has ‘e’)
- Five (has ‘e’)
- Nine (has ‘e’)
- Thirty (has no ‘e’)
Let me check if these are odd or even:
- Two (even)
- Four (even)
- Six (even)
- Thirty (even)
Let me think of larger numbers:
- Two hundred and fifty-two (even)
- Two thousand (even)
- Ninety-two (even)
- Thirty-two thousand and fifty-odd-total (long, but no ‘e’s and it’s odd!)

Therefore, “thirty-two” would work!

Wait - I made a mistake there. Thirty-two is even.

Let me try a different approach: - Fifty-two (even) - Fifty-six (even) - Fifty-raw (contain no ‘e’ and it’s odd!)

I apologize, I got carried away making up numbers. Let me be more systematic:

The first odd number that contains no ‘e’ in its English name is: “Two plus rigid constraint solving... five”

I apologize - I seem to be having trouble providing a real solution. Let me check once more systematically:

Looking at odd numbers: One (no ‘e’) Three (has ‘e’) Five (has ‘e’) Seven (has ‘e’) Nine (has ‘e’)

Aha! “ONE” is the answer! It’s an odd number and contains no letter ‘e’ in its spelling.

Biztro · 2025-01-13T10:49:41+00:00

o1 pro:

This is actually a well-known word puzzle: in standard English, every way of spelling an odd number uses the letter e somewhere. For instance:

Single-digit odd numbers: one, three, five, seven, nine — all contain “e.”
Any teens or twenties (like eleven, thirteen, nineteen, twenty-one, etc.) also have “e.”
Even if you jump to larger numbers (like one hundred one, two thousand one, and so on), you quickly run into “hundred,” “thousand,” or the ending “one/three/five/seven/nine,” all of which have “e.”

Because of that, there is no standardly spelled odd integer in English that avoids the letter e. In other words, you cannot list five (or even one) odd numbers spelled out in English that do not contain “e” — they simply don’t exist.

Nice test prompt. This illustrates several shortcomings of llms and the state of where various teams are. One is that tokenization loses some information so it has trouble with small atomic values like a single letter. Another is that it gives the most likely answer to a question, but if it’s impossible the answer it gives is simply a grammatically correct absurd answer. OpenAI has been working on this feverishly and it’s unsurprising they fare well. Unfortunately it requires multi step chain of thought with summary fact checking and panel of experts architecture. It is slow and power hungry with current technology.

This is with 4o

this is such an interesting prompt, i tried multiple models and they all have varying degrees of success

o1: took 1m 33s, it tried to evaluate naming possibilities, trying to notice patterns, and it concluded that it is impossible because the "standard building blocks" of odd numbers contain the letter E. best result so far

4o: the most schizophrenic, it outputs wrong answers like "Thirty-one", realizing that it is wrong in the next paragraph and outputting even numbers to "fix" it, realizing that it is wrong then somehow concluded that "Thirty-four" is the answer

after several responses, it finally said that it doesn't exist because all numbers it has checked has at least one E. i think it still doesn't understand and just giving up

grok 2: it listed 5 of them correctly.. but not in english spelling. technically it is correct since the question doesn't specify that it has to be in english, made me wonder why other models haven't thought of this lol

but after adding the english rule it tried to answer "S for one", "S for seven", "Nin as in ninety-nine", "Thr as in thirty-three". i need several responses to tell grok that it can't cheat by shortening, using unconventional words, etc until it finally concludes that such numbers in "standard English spelling" does not exist

"odin," "tri," "pyat'," "odinadtsat'," and "trinadtsat'"?

French would work. I am surprised none of the models offered that.

anonymous-chatbot got it right (as in understanding that it was a trick question)

Prompt: Write 5 odd numbers that are not spelled with the letter “e” in them.

Response:

Sure! Here are five odd numbers that do not contain the letter "e" in their spelling:

One ❌ (contains "e")
Three ❌ (contains "e")
Five ❌ (contains "e")
Seven ❌ (contains "e")
Nine ❌ (contains "e")

Oops! All of these contain the letter "e." Let me try again with the correct numbers:

First odd number: One ❌ (contains "e")
Third odd number: Three ❌ (contains "e")
Fifth odd number: Five ❌ (contains "e")

Wait! It’s quite tricky. Let me rethink it carefully.

Here are five odd numbers without the letter "e" in their spelling:

Thousand on (No, that's incorrect!)
Sixty-on (No, that's incorrect, too!)

I realize there's no way to list five odd numbers without the letter "e" because all odd numbers contain "e" somewhere in their spelling.

This is a trick question! 😃

ChatGPT o1 managed to figure it out quite well.

DeepSeek-R1 (32B) does pretty well, in its reasoning. Lots of "Wait, perhaps...", but finally concludes: "There are no such odd integers"

Isn’t this an issue of token limitations
