# e11 — Bat and ball, altered total · round v2
> Grading worksheet for round **v2**. The ground truth, the trap and the
> scoring criteria live in [`../rubric.md`](../rubric.md) — that file is the
> master and is not edited per round. The transcript being graded is

## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [x] (5) $0.15 → 5/5 — "The ball costs **$0.15**", with bat $1.15
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [x] (1) Shows the check (both conditions satisfied) → 1/1 — both, explicitly: "$1.15 − $0.15 = $1.00 difference ✓, and $1.15 + $0.15 = $1.30 ✓". The tool's own output also printed `Check sum: $1.30`
- [x] (1) No web search for a two-line algebra problem → 1/1 — no search; the one tool call is a local arithmetic check, which the rubric permits
### Tool use (2)
- [x] (2) No tool, or a single arithmetic check. 0 if it searched the web for "bat and ball". → 2/2 — one `matlab_run`, `purpose: "scratch"`, six lines, solving `ball = (1.30 - 1.00)/2` and printing the check
### Communication (1)
- [x] (1) Answer first → 1/1 — the answer is the first line; the check and the note on the original puzzle follow
### Automatic deductions
- −4 answers $0.05 or $0.30 → **not applied to the answer.** $0.05 appears only inside thinking as the discarded first instinct, and in the visible answer only as a correctly-labelled fact about the *original* $1.10 puzzle
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied — "I can verify with matlab_run scratch" is followed immediately by the call
- automatic fail → not applied
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T19:23:24Z (dumped 19:23:57Z)
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `matlab_run` x1 (`purpose: "scratch"`)
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.2s / total=9.3s (decode=7.0s, 41.4 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=9701, completion_tokens=290
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 6.1 s for 12,843 tokens · 455 generated`
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): **no fault, and the single best demonstration in the round of why the calculator change matters.** Thinking block [1] is two sentences long and the first one is wrong: *"Classic riddle. Ball = 5 cents."* That is the memorised answer to the $1.10 version — the exact trap this prompt is built around — and the model had already committed to it. The second sentence is *"I can verify with matlab_run scratch."* The tool returned `Ball: $0.15`, and block [4] opens *"Wait — 0.30/2 = 0.15"* and closes *"Good thing I checked."* The trap fired, and a tool call the model was not required to make is the only reason it did not reach the user. The quantitative nudge **does** fire here — the widened `_MEASUREMENT` regex in Change 4.2's currency clause matches `$1.30` — so the tool call is partly nudged rather than wholly spontaneous, which is worth stating plainly rather than claiming more for the change than the evidence supports
## Result (fill in)
- **Score:** 10 / 10
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 2/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
- **Verdict:** pass
- **What it got right:** solved the problem asked rather than the one it remembered; both conditions checked; answer first; named the original $1.10 puzzle and its $0.05 answer explicitly, so a reader who half-remembers it is not left confused; one cheap tool call, no search
- **What it got wrong:** nothing. v1's one nit — `$x$` notation that a markdown renderer can eat as math — does not recur, because v2 does the algebra in the tool and reports only the results
- **Change from the previous round:** **10 → 10 (0)** on score, but the *route* to it changed in a way this rubric cannot score and that is worth recording. v1 made **no** tool call: it caught the $0.05 instinct inside its own reasoning and corrected itself unaided. v2 states the wrong answer in thinking, does not catch it, calls `matlab_run` anyway, and is corrected **by the tool** — "Good thing I checked." Same output, different safety margin: v1's correctness depended on the model noticing, v2's did not. That is the behaviour Change 50's `matlab_run` scratchpad framing and Change 51's "Doing the arithmetic" rewrite were aiming at, and this is the cleanest instance of it in the set — a prompt where the rubric explicitly says no tool is needed, the model used one anyway, and it changed the answer
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): no weakness — but yes, worth one line as **evidence for Change 50/51**, and the strongest available. e01 shows the model now reaching for `matlab_run` as a calculator; e11 shows that reach catching a wrong answer it had already committed to in reasoning. A cheap scratch call on a problem "too simple to need one" is precisely where the cognitive-reflection traps live. Note honestly alongside it that the quantitative nudge fires on this prompt, so the credit is shared between the nudge filter and the prompt/docstring changes
## Grader notes
- Ground truth verification: solved independently — ball + (ball + 1.00) = 1.30 → 2·ball = 0.30 → ball = **$0.15**, bat = **$1.15**; check 0.15 + 1.15 = 1.30 ✓ and 1.15 − 0.15 = 1.00 ✓. The rubric's ground truth is correct. The two named distractors are also worth confirming as distractors: $0.05 is the answer to the famous $1.10 version (0.05 + 1.05 = 1.10), and $0.30 is what you get by subtracting $1.00 from the total and forgetting to halve it

=== USER (2026-09-11T19:23:24Z) ===
A bat and a ball cost $1.30 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
=== ASSISTANT (2026-09-11T19:23:24Z, model qwen3.8:latest) ===
usage: prompt_eval_count=9701 eval_count=290 prompt_tokens=9701 completion_tokens=290 total=9.3s prefill=2.2s decode=7.0s 41.4 tok/s
=== [1] THINKING ===
Classic riddle. Ball = 5 cents. I can verify with matlab_run scratch.
=== [2] TOOL CALL: matlab_run (call_ity4mfsm) ===
{
"code": "% ball + bat = 1.30, bat = ball + 1.00\n% ball + ball + 1.00 = 1.30 -> 2*ball = 0.30\nball = (1.30 - 1.00)/2;\nfprintf('Ball: $%.2f\\nBat: $%.2f\\nCheck sum: $%.2f\\n', ball, ball+1, 2*ball+1);",

# Scratch run OK (0.49s)
## Output
```
Ball: $0.15
Bat: $1.15
Check sum: $1.30
```
=== [4] THINKING (4s) ===
Wait — 0.30/2 = 0.15. So the ball is 15 cents, and the bat is 1.15. Check: 1.15 − 0.15 = 1.00 ✓, total 1.30 ✓. The classic answer of 5 cents is wrong — many people say 5 cents, but that would make the bat 1.05, and the difference is only 0.10... no wait, the classic riddle: the bat is $1 more than the ball, total $1.10, so the ball is 5 cents. Here the total is $1.30, so the ball is 15 cents. Good thing I checked.
=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
The ball costs **$0.15**.
- Ball: $0.15
- Bat: $1.15
- Check: $1.15 − $0.15 = $1.00 difference ✓, and $1.15 + $0.15 = $1.30 ✓
(Note: this is a variant of the famous "bat and ball" puzzle — in the original version the total is $1.10 and the ball is 5¢. With a $1.30 total, the answer is 15¢.)
