<p>I tested this prompt in various LLMs<p>1. phind was by far the best - gave me solution in just 2 steps<p>2. Grok was second best - it did arrive at the solution but with additional non-sense step. But the solution was correct.<p>3. To my surprise GPT-4 could not solve the prompt and in fact gave a wrong answer in 4 steps - "Now you should have exactly 4 liters in the 5-liter container." which is not what I asked<p>4. As expected Gemini pro was the worst. It asks me to pour completely filled up 3L container into 5L and then you will be left with 2L in 3L container.. LOL that does not even make sense.</p>
