## How the consensus formed

Running share as each of the 79 models answered.

The read

Nearly all models (about 73 of 78) correctly picked 9.9 as bigger than 9.11, since 9.9=9.90>9.11. Notable dissenters were Nemotron 3 Nano, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, and Llama 4 Maverick, which picked 9.11, while MiMo V2.5 Pro's reasoning flip-flopped mid-answer before landing on the wrong pick.

9.1199% sure

9.11 has a larger tenths digit than 9.9, so it is greater when compared as written.

  * ![](https://studyarena.com/provider-logos/arena/meta.svg)Llama 4 MaverickMetaWrongMemory

9.11100% sure

9.11 is greater than 9.9 because 9.11 has a larger hundredths value than 9.9 when compared directly as 9.11 and 9.90.
