Model answer: This aerial image shows a shipping container terminal with stacked shipping containers. It appears to have approximately 40-50 containers visible in the frame. The containers are arranged in neat rows and display various colors including pink, blue, white, brown, red, and mint green. The containers are stacked in what looks like two main rows or sections on a concrete terminal area, with some loading equipment visible on the left side. The image is taken from above, showing the colorful pattern created by the different container colors when viewed from this perspective.
Claude 4 Opus
Model answer: Looking at this aerial view of what appears to be a cargo ship or barge, I can count the shipping containers arranged on the deck. The containers are organized in two main sections separated by a gap in the middle. Each section has multiple rows of containers placed side by side. In the top section, I count approximately 16-17 containers. In the bottom section, I count approximately 16-17 containers. In total, there appear to be approximately **32-34 shipping containers** visible in this image. The exact count is challenging due to the aerial perspective and the way some containers may be aligned, but this is the most accurate estimate based on what's visible.
Claude 4 Sonnet
Model answer: Looking at this aerial view of a container ship, I can see multiple rows of stacked shipping containers arranged in a systematic pattern. The containers are organized in distinct color-coded sections with various colors including red, white, brown, pink, blue, orange, and other hues. Counting the visible containers systematically across the rows and stacks, I can identify approximately 200-250 shipping containers in this image. The exact count is challenging due to the aerial perspective and the way some containers may be partially obscured by others in the stacking arrangement, but this appears to be a substantial container vessel with several hundred containers total, of which roughly 200-250 are clearly visible in this particular view.
Claude 4.1 Opus
Model answer: Looking at this aerial view of what appears to be a cargo ship or barge, I can count the shipping containers stacked on the deck. The containers are arranged in rows and are various colors including pink, white, brown, blue, and other shades. From what I can see, there appear to be approximately **40-45 shipping containers** visible on the vessel. They're arranged in multiple rows across the width of the ship, with what looks like roughly 20-22 containers in each of the two main visible sections of the deck. The exact count is challenging due to the aerial perspective and some containers potentially being obscured, but this appears to be the approximate number of containers loaded on this vessel.

Model answer: There are 128 shipping containers in the image. The containers are arranged in a grid pattern, with 8 rows and 16 columns. Each container is approximately 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. The containers are stacked on top of each other, forming a large rectangular block. The colors of the containers vary, with some being red, blue, green, yellow, and white. The containers are secured to each other with metal straps to prevent them from shifting during transport.

Gemini 2.5 Flash
Model answer: Let's count the shipping containers visible in the image. We can break it down by the layers on the ship and containers on the dock: 1. **Top Layer of Containers (on the ship):** * There are two rows of containers side-by-side. * The left row has 15 containers. * The right row has 14 containers. * Total for top layer: 15 + 14 = 29 containers. 2. **Second Layer of Containers (on the ship, below the top layer):** * There are two rows of containers side-by-side. * The left row has 15 containers. * The right row has 15 containers. * Total for second layer: 15 + 15 = 30 containers. 3. **Third Layer of Containers (on the ship, partially visible below the second layer):** * These are mostly dark containers. * The left row appears to have 15 containers. * The right row appears to have 15 containers. * Total for third layer: 15 + 15 = 30 containers. 4. **Containers on the Dock (left side of the image):** * There is a stack of 4 red containers. * Total on dock: 4 containers. **Total Containers:** 29 (top layer) + 30 (second layer) + 30 (third layer) + 4 (on dock) = **93 containers**.

Gemini 2.5 Pro
Model answer: Based on a careful count of the shipping containers visible in the image, there are a total of **52** containers. Here is the breakdown of the count: * **On the ship's top layer:** * There is a row of **17** containers next to the water. * Next to that is another row of **16** containers. * **On the ship's lower layers:** * Directly beneath the row of 16, another row of **16** containers is visible in the shadow. * Further down and to the left, under the large crane arm, a single red container from an even lower layer is visible, adding **1** more. * **On the dock:** * A vehicle (a straddle carrier) on the dock is carrying **2** orange containers. **Total:** 17 + 16 + 16 + 1 + 2 = **52 containers**.

Model answer: The image shows a large stack of shipping containers, with two rows visible. The top row has 10 containers and the bottom row has 10 containers as well. Therefore, there are 20 shipping containers in the image.
Mistral Medium 3
Model answer: There are 36 shipping containers in the image. To determine this, I broke down the image into sections based on the visible rows and columns: 1. The top section has two rows of containers, each row containing 18 containers. This gives us 2 rows × 18 containers = 36 containers. 2. The bottom section has another two rows of containers, each row also containing 18 containers. However, upon closer inspection, it appears the bottom section is part of the same stack as the top section, making it a total of 4 rows with 9 containers each, which still sums up to 36 containers. Therefore, the total number of containers is 36.
Mistral Small 3.1 24B
Model answer: The image shows a large cargo ship filled with stacked shipping containers. To determine the number of containers, we can estimate by counting the visible rows and columns. 1. **Top Layer**: There are 14 containers visible in the top layer. 2. **Middle Layer**: There are 14 containers visible in the middle layer. 3. **Bottom Layer**: There are 14 containers visible in the bottom layer. However, the bottom layer appears to extend beyond the visible frame, indicating that there are more containers not fully visible in the image. Additionally, the ship likely has containers stacked on both sides, which are not fully visible from this angle. Given the visible part of the image, we can count a minimum of 42 containers (14 in each of the three visible layers). However, the actual number of containers on the ship is significantly higher, as the ship extends beyond the frame of the image and likely has containers stacked on both sides.

Model answer: A careful way to see this is to note that the stack is three “tiers” high and spans 14 columns across; each column has one container per tier. Counting 14 columns × 3 tiers gives 42 total containers.
