Step-by-Step Reasoning Request With Visible Checks
Ask for working that can be verified, not just an answer.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Solve this problem: [PROBLEM]. Data I can supply: [DATA]. The format of answer I need: [ANSWER_FORMAT]. Show your work in numbered steps. For each step state what you are doing, the numbers or facts used and where they came from, and the result. After the final answer, add a check section: recompute the result a second way, or substitute the answer back into the problem, and say whether the two agree. List every assumption, and mark any assumption that, if wrong, would change the answer by more than [TOLERANCE] percent. If the problem cannot be solved from the data given, say exactly which piece of information is missing instead of estimating. Do not round until the last step, and show the rounding rule. Use plain labels for each step, such as Given, Calculation and Result, and keep each step to one operation so it can be checked line by line. When you make a judgement call rather than a calculation, label it Judgement and explain the alternative you rejected. If I paste figures with different units, convert them first and show the conversion factors. After the check section, give a one-sentence answer I could paste into an email, followed by the main caveat in one more sentence.
