I didn't see an example and I can't quickly think of a prompt. Did it do "better" by itself, or did telling it it's important trigger chain of thought where instead of flippantly giving an answer, it said all the steps explicitly? We know Chain of Thought can definitely improve performance. That's not a full answer, it's still really cool that "this is important" would trigger a more careful analysis, especially since it doesn't "know" chain of thought produces better results, but that's a far different implication than "say the magic word" gets better results.
