That shows it knew this bit of satire more than anything. Also, the problem as stated isn't actually constrained enough to be unsolvable: https://youtu.be/B7MIJP90biM

Feel free to ask Claude about any other contradictory request. I use Claude Code and it often asks clarifying questions when it is unsure how to implement something, or or autocorrects my request if something I am asking for is wrong (like a typo in a filename). Of course sometimes it misunderstands; then you have to be more specific and/or divide the work into smaller pieces. Try it if you haven't.

You had me at "fuzzy", but lost me at "clean up" - because that's what I usually have to do after it went on another wild refactoring spree. It's a stochastic thing, maybe you're lucky and it fuzzy-matches exactly what you want, maybe the distributions lead it astray.

On the line test, I guess it's highly probable that the joke and a few hundred discussions or blog pieces about it were in it's training data.
