To human ears, the problem of 3 hens, 3 eggs, 3 days is a simplified and more obvious problem than the original:
"If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half ..."
But it's the same problem in the same form, and GPT4 nails it without extra goofy prompting like "don't replicate human cognitive biases".
A more interesting question would cross logic with problem solving.
"If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many hens are needed to fill Yankee Stadium with eggs in a year?"
But GPT4 doesn't have very good intuition on how to estimate the volume of Yankee Stadium:
Yankee Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 50,000 spectators.
Let's assume each spectator occupies a space of 2 cubic meters (which is a generous estimate, including seating and legroom).
Total volume (approx.) = 50,000 seats × 2 m³/seat = 100,000 m³
