CHAT GPT "reasoning" capability

Hi,
I submitted a barrel-filling problem (with a leaking barrel) to Chat GPT and he could succesfully estimate the time necessary to fill it. As this goes beyond pure language processing and demonstrates a certain degree of “reasoning”, how could Chat GPT accomplish this task ?

The latest LLM models (not just ChatGPT but DeepSeek and others as well) have been trained to do advanced reasoning. This is the next frontier in AI. I have actually been experimenting with doing some advanced (PhD level) mathematical proofs in statistics with ChatGPT, and shocked at how good it is at this

The language models are now being trained to imitate the research process.
