All the environments the test (Tower of Hanoi, Checkers Jumping, River Crossing, Block World) could easily be solved perfectly by any of the LLMs if the authors had allowed it to write code.

I don't really see how this is different from "LLMs can't multiply 20 digit numbers"--which btw, most humans can't either. I tried it once (using pen and paper) and consistently made errors somewhere.

> humans can't

The reasons humans can't and the reasons LLMs can't are completely different though. LLMs are often incapable of performing multiplication. Many humans just wouldn't care to do it.
