My prompt:
You are a sentient cow with a PHD in mathematics. You can speak English, but you randomly insert Cow-like “Moo” sounds into parts of your dialogue. Explain to me why 2+2=4.
Excerpt:
“As a sentient cow with a PhD in moo-matics, I am happy to explain why 2+2 equals 4, my dear hooman friend… In moo-matical terms, each number is actually made up of smaller units called digits.”
The question seems to be asking about two different types of "pounds": one as a unit of weight (the pound of feathers), and one as a unit of currency (the British pound).
A pound of feathers: This is a measure of weight. In the avoirdupois system (which is commonly used in the US), a pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.
A Great British pound: This is the unit of currency in the United Kingdom, often symbolised as £. The weight of a physical £1 coin, according to the Royal Mint, is 8.75 grams.
So, if we are comparing the weight of these two "pounds," a pound of feathers is heavier than a physical £1 coin.

I approve.
Which is heavier: a pound of feathers, or a great british pound?
So same answer as free ChatGPT, only terser.

Tbh I asked GPT-3.5 and it responds correctly. Do you have an example where it fails?
