Another test of logical ability for LLMs? (alien.top)

Found this in a children's book of riddles:

Six brothers were spending their time together.

The first brother was reading a book.
The second brother was playing chess.
The third brother was solving a crossword.
The fourth brother was watering the lawn.
The fifth brother was drawing a picture.

Question: what was the sixth brother doing?

I cant get ChatGPT to answer correctly with the usual tricks, even after hinting to consider one and two-person activities and emphasizing the word "together".

After a bunch of CoT turns we arrive to a conclusion that this is an open ended question and not a riddle :)

After trying 3 times with fresh promots, I got a correct response once, but when prompted to provide supporting reasoning the model backtracked and started apologizing.

Cant test gpt 4 r/n...

3.5 never suspect the 6th playing chess

https://chat.openai.com/share/b7e6b24d-44db-4abf-9a81-5325f836bca5 (the === are artifacts of the custom system prompt, 3.5 sucks at following it)

I asked it for candidate activity, and mostly offered different ones. It's weird, I would expect a LLM to list activities that were already mentioned in the conversation. Maybe the repetition penalty is set too high?
