That way they can refine their results better. This is perhaps a more valuable lesson than the original post entailed! In any case, I’ll report this to Wolfram Alpha as it’s clearly not returning the data that we want. This appears to be a unique manifestation, as opposed to the American list of presidents. There you have the correct sequence, but the data parses it by focusing on the LENGTH field as opposed to the sequence you have. You can see this by pulling up the list (press ‘ more‘ on sequence to see Alpha’s take on it). What’s going on with the Prime Minister section? Turns out that Wolfram is parsing the information in a peculiar way! It’s interpreting the list of prime ministers by term-length. As noted by Léon Robichaud in the comments, ho wever, however, the data on Canadian Prime Ministers is faulty – Meighen was the 9th Prime Minister but had the 3rd shortest term similarly, 1st Prime Minister returns Harper! For example, if you type ‘3rd Prime Minister of Canada’ into the engine, you’ll see it parsed as ‘Canada’ ‘Prime Minister’ ‘3rd.’ And then you would learn that the third Prime Minister of Canada was Arthur Meighen, he governed for 2 months and 27 days, he was born in Toronto 137 years ago and died 51 years ago at the age of 86. This is a reliable source of simple information for anybody wanting to quickly access basic facts. By simple typing ‘history’ into the answer engine, you’ll get a page demonstrating all the cool things you can do for historical topics.
