Is the ocean to your left or to you right?

I asked this question to multiple LLM.

ChatGPT: Wrong but reasoned itself back to being correct.

Gemini: Correct.

Grok: Using expert it got the right answer after 35s.

Claude Sonnet 4.6: Confidently incorrect.

I had to go to the screenshots to see what you thought the expected answer was (left).

This is one of those questions that could have multiple answers, or require follow up questions, depending on how pedantic the asker wants to be.

Trick question, the island was in a lake, you’re nowhere near the ocean.

Trick question, it’s a small island and the ocean is all around you, not just on the left. How big must an island before this isn’t true? Is it a line of sight question?
