       I have a new question for LLMs, which is hilarious:"Wie viele 'n' hat das Word 'Ananas' auf Englisch"?Which translates to"How many 'n' has the word 'Ananas' in English?"Of course the challenge is to translate ananas to pineapple, and then count. Deepseek gets it nearly right (by a factor of infinity):

       The English word for "Ananas" (which refers to pineapple in many languages) is "pineapple". This word contains zero "n" letters.However, if you're referring to the botanical genus name Ananas (as in Ananas comosus, the scientific name for pineapple), it is spelled "Ananas" in English and contains two "n" letters.So the answer depends on context:Common term: 0 "n"s (pineapple).Scientific term: 2 "n"s (Ananas).Let me know if you need further clarification! 🌍🍍
