### human: the mystery number is between 60 and 150, a multiple of 7, and the sum of its digits is 10.
a. 63
b. 84
c. 82
d. 91
e. None of the above

the### assistant: graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

! [graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is a number problem that involves finding the unknown value that satisfies three conditions. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of numbers and how to apply them in different situations.
- t2: to understand the concept of numbers, we need to use the definitions and properties of numbers from the web search results, which are:

- numbers are symbols that represent quantities or values. They can be classified into different types, such as natural numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, etc.
- a multiple of a number is a number that can be divided by that number without leaving a remainder. For example, 21 is a multiple of 7 because 21 / 7 = 3 with no remainder.
- the sum of digits of a number is the result of adding all the digits in that number. For example, the sum of digits of 123 is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of solution, which is a way of finding an unknown value that makes an equation or inequality true. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- let x be the mystery number.
- write an equation or inequality that relates x and the three conditions. For example:

q: the mystery number is between 60 and 150, a multiple of 7, and the sum of its digits is 10.

e: 60 < x < 150 and x / 7 = k and x = 10a + b and a + b = 10

where:

- k is an integer that represents how many times x can be divided by 7
- a and b are digits that represent the tens and ones place of x

- solve for x by using logical reasoning and trial and error. For example:

- since x is between 60 and 150, it must have two digits.
- since x is a multiple of 7, it must end with either 0, 4, or 8.
- since x has a sum of digits equal to 10, it must start with either 1, 2, or 9.
- based on these clues, we can try different combinations of digits until we find one that satisfies all conditions. For example:

- if x = 10 + b, then b = 0 and x = 10 (not between 60 and 150)
- if x = 20 + b, then b = 4 or b = 8 and x = 24 or x = 28 (not between 60 and 150)
- if x = 90 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 14 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 24 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 94 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 18 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 28 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 98 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 81 + b, then b = -1 or b = -5 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 91 + b, then b = -1 or b = -5 (not possible for digits)
- if x = 84 + b, then b = -4 or b = 6 and x = 80 or x = 90 (not a sum of digits equal to 10)
- the only possible value for x that satisfies all conditions is x = 91.

- t4: the question asks us what is the mystery number. This means that we need to evaluate the value of x that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one.
- t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments:

- the value of x that we found is 91, which means that it is the mystery number. This makes sense, because if we plug in x into our equation, we get:

60 < x < 150 and x / 7 = k and x = 10a + b and a + b = 10
60 < 91 < 150 and 91 / 7 = 13 and 91 = 10(9) + 1 and 9 + 1 = 10

which are true for any value of k, a, and b.
- this is one of
the given options,
so we can choose option d) 91 as our answer.

the question is:

to find
the mystery number
that satisfies
three conditions,

### human: any word or phrase produced from an original word or phrase by rearranging all the original letters to produce a new word or phrase is an anagram, another common iq question type. Which of the following is an anagram for "intelligence tests"?
a. Clientele setting
b. Genetic littleness
c. Electing entitles
d. All of the above
e. None of the above

the### assistant: graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

! [graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is an anagram problem that involves finding the word or phrase that is formed by rearranging all the letters of another word or phrase. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of anagrams and how to identify them in different contexts.
- t2: to understand the concept of anagrams, we need to use the definition and examples of anagrams from the web search results, which are:

- anagrams are words that are formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, such as cinema, formed from iceman.
- anagrams are words that have exactly the same letters as another word or phrase in a different order, such as silent and listen.
- anagrams are words that use all the letters in another word or phrase in a different order to make a new word or phrase, such as debit card and bad credit.

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- compare each option with the original word or phrase and check if they are anagrams based on their letters. For example:

- option a) clientele setting: clientele setting is not an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has one extra letter e and one missing letter i.
- option b) genetic littleness: genetic littleness is not an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has one extra letter g and one missing letter c.
- option c) electing entitles: electing entitles is an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has exactly the same letters in a different order.
- option d) all of the above: all of the above is not an option for an anagram problem, because it implies that there are multiple correct answers, which is not possible for anagrams.
- option e) none of the above: none of the above is not an option for an anagram problem, because it implies that there are no correct answers, which is not possible for anagrams.

- eliminate the options that are not anagrams for intelligence tests and choose the option that is an anagram for it. For example:

- eliminate option a) clientele setting
- eliminate option b) genetic littleness
- eliminate option d) all of the above
- eliminate option e) none of the above
- choose option c) electing entitles as the answer.

- t4: the question asks us which of the following is an anagram for intelligence tests. This means that we need to evaluate the value of electing entitles that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem.
- t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments:

- the value of electing entitles that we found is c. Electing entitles, which means that it is an anagram for intelligence tests. This makes sense, because if we rearrange all
the letters
of
electing entitles,
we get intelligence tests.
- this is one of
the given options,
so we can choose electing entitles as our answer.

### human: sales of an intelligence test, authored by joe doe, an awarding-winning psychologist and educator with more than 35 years of experience, are skyrocketing above competitors. More than 30,000 intelligence tests were sold in the first six months, but sales are now falling. A competitor is selling 12,000 cognitive intelligence tests every three months. In another six months, how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor?
a. 30,000
b. 10,500
c. 12,000
d. Growth will be the same
e. Not enough information to determine

the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

! [graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has seven nodes: one for the question (q), and six for the thoughts (t1 to t6). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is a sales problem that involves finding the difference between the number of tests sold by joe doe and his closest competitor after a certain period of time. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of sales and how to calculate it in different situations.
- t2: to understand the concept of sales, we need to use the formula for sales, which is:

sales = price  quantity

where:

- price is the amount of money charged for each test
- quantity is the number of tests sold in a given period of time
- sales is the amount of money earned from selling tests

sales can be positive or negative depending on whether the quantity is increasing or decreasing. For example, if joe doe sells his test for $10 and sells 1000 tests in a month, then his sales are:

sales = 10  1000
sales = 10000

if his sales fall by 10% in the next month, then his sales are:

sales = 10  (1000 - (0.1  1000))
sales = 10  900
sales = 9000

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of difference, which is a way of finding how much one value is larger or smaller than another value by subtracting them. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- let x be the number of tests sold by joe doe in another six months.
- let y be the number of tests sold by his closest competitor in another six months.
- let z be the difference between x and y.
- write an equation that relates x and y using the given information. For example:

q: sales of an intelligence test, authored by joe doe, an awarding-winning psychologist and educator with more than 35 years of experience, are skyrocketing above competitors. More than 30,000 intelligence tests were sold in the first six months, but sales are now falling. A competitor is selling 12,000 cognitive intelligence tests every three months. In another six months, how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor?

e: x + 30000 = y + 24000

- solve for z by subtracting y from both sides and simplifying. For example:

x + 30000 = y + 24000
x - y + 30000 = 24000
x - y = -6000
z = x - y
z = -6000

- t4: the question asks us how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor in another six months. This means that we need to evaluate the value of z that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one.
- t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments:

- the value of z that we found is -6000, which means that joe doe will have sold 6000 tests less than his closest competitor in another six months. This makes sense, because if we plug in z into our equation, we get:

x + 30000 = y + 24000
x - y = -6000
x - y + y = -6000 + y
x = -6000 + y

which is true for any value of x and y.
- however, this is not one of the given options, so we need to choose the option that indicates that we cannot find the answer with the given information. For example:

- choose option e) not enough information to determine as the answer because we cannot find the exact number of tests sold by joe doe and his closest competitor in another six months.

a summary of the answer to the question is:

to find how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor in another six months, we need to use the concept of sales and difference, and then write and solve an equation for the difference. The answer is not enough information to determine.


### human: quick mathematical computations are common on iq tests. Speed of response is important and used to determine the final iq score. Three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven. 6, 22, 13, 17, 14, 5

a. True
b. False

### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

[graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is a logic problem that involves finding whether a statement is true or false based on a mathematical condition. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of addition and how to apply it to different numbers.
- t2: to understand the concept of addition, we need to use the formula for addition, which is:

$$\text{addition} = { {\text{summand}} + {\text{summand}}}$$

where:

- summand is any number that is added to another number
- addition is the result of adding two or more numbers together

addition can be performed with any type of numbers, such as integers, fractions, decimals, etc. For example, if we add 6 and 5, we get:

$$\text{addition} = { {6} + {5}}$$
$$\text{addition} = 11$$

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of verification, which is a way of checking whether a statement or condition is true or false by using evidence or logic. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- verify whether three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven by using addition. For example:

- 6 + 22 + 13 = 41 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 22 + 17 = 45 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 22 + 14 = 42 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 22 + 5 = 33 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 13 + 17 = 36 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 13 + 14 = 33 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 13 + 5 = 24 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 17 + 14 = 37 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 17 + 5 = 28 (not equal to 27)
- 6 + 14 + 5 = 25 (not equal to 27)
- ...

- eliminate the option that is not verified by the verification and choose the option that is verified by it. For example:

- eliminate option a) true because it is not verified by the verification. None of the three numbers add up to twenty-seven.
- choose option b) false as the answer because it is verified by the verification. Three of the following numbers do not add up to twenty-seven.

- t4: the question asks us whether three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven. This means that we need to evaluate the value of false that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem.

a summary
of
the answer
to
the question is:

to find
whether three
of
the following numbers
add up
to twenty-seven,
we need to use

### human: how many minutes is it before noon if 29 minutes ago it was six times as many minutes past 10 am?

1) 13 minutes
2) 15 minutes
3) 10 minutes
4) 16 minutes

the ### assistant: graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

[graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is a time problem that involves finding the number of minutes before noon given a condition about the past time. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of time and how to calculate it in different situations.
- t2: to understand the concept of time, we need to use the formula for time, which is:

$$\text{time} = { {\text{hour}} \times {60}} + {\text{minute}}$$

where:

- hour is the number of hours in a 12-hour clock format
- minute is the number of minutes in an hour
- time is the number of minutes in a day

time can be positive or negative depending on whether it is before or after noon. For example, if it is 10:15 am, then the time is:

$$\text{time} = { {10} \times {60}} + {15}$$
$$\text{time} = 615$$

if it is 1:45 pm, then the time is:

$$\text{time} = { {(1 - 12)} \times {60}} + {45}$$
$$\text{time} = -255$$

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of equation, which is a way of finding an unknown value by equating two expressions that are equal. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- let x be the number of minutes before noon.
- let y be the number of minutes past 10 am 29 minutes ago.
- write an equation that relates x and y using the given condition. For example:

q: how many minutes is it before noon if 29 minutes ago it was six times as many minutes past 10 am?
e: x + 29 = 6y

- write another equation that relates x and y using the formula for time. For example:

t: x = -y + 120

- solve for x by substituting y from one equation into another and simplifying. For example:

x + 29 = 6y
x = -y + 120
-y + 120 + 29 = 6y
149 = 7y
y = { {149} \over {7}}
x = -({ {149} \over {7}}) + 120
x = -21.29 + 120
x = 98.71

- t4: the question asks us how many minutes is it before noon. This means that we need to evaluate the value of x that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one.
- t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments:

- the value of x that we found is 98.71, which means that it is about 98.71 minutes before noon. This makes sense, because if we plug in x into our equations, we get:

x + 29 = 6y
98.71 + 29 = 6({ {149} \over {7}})
127.71 = 127.71

x = -y + 120
98.71 = -({ {149} \over {7}}) + 120
98.71 = 98.71

which are true for any value of y.
- however, this is not one of
the given options,
so we need to round our answer to
the nearest integer. For example:

$$\text{rounded answer} = \text{round}(x)$$
$$\text{rounded answer} = \text{round}(98.71)$$
$$\text{rounded answer} = 99$$

- this means that it is about **99 minutes** before noon.
- the closest option to our answer is option 4) 16 minutes.

a summary
of
the answer
to
the question is:

to find
how many minutes
is
it before noon,
we need to use
the concept
of
time and equation,
and then write and solve an equation for
the number of minutes.
the answer is 99 minutes.

### human: which word in brackets means the same as the word in capitals? Indiscretion

1) folly 2) sloth 3) aversion 4) vacillation

the ### assistant: graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below:

[graph of thought example]

the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows:

- t1: the given question is a vocabulary problem that involves finding the word that has the same or similar meaning to another word. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of synonyms and how to identify them in different contexts.
- t2: to understand the concept of synonyms, we need to use the definition and examples of synonyms from the web search results, which are:

- synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language.
- synonyms are words that mean exactly or nearly the same thing as another word or phrase in your language.
- synonyms are words that have similar meanings to other words. For example, "big" and "large" are synonyms.

- t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer:

- compare each option with the word in capitals and check if they have the same or similar meaning. For example:

- option 1) folly: folly is a synonym for indiscretion, because they both mean a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgment or sense. For example, "he knew himself all too prone to indiscretion" 1 and "he knew himself all too prone to folly" have the same meaning.
- option 2) sloth: sloth is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Sloth means laziness or slowness of movement, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgment or sense. For example, "he was accused of sloth" 2 and "he was accused of indiscretion" have different meanings.
- option 3) aversion: aversion is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Aversion means a strong feeling of dislike or avoidance, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgment or sense. For example, "she had an aversion to snakes" 3 and "she had an indiscretion with snakes" have different meanings.
- option 4) vacillation: vacillation is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Vacillation means an act or instance of wavering or being unable to decide, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgment or sense. For example, "she was criticized for her vacillation on security issues" 4 and "she was criticized for her indiscretion on security issues" have different meanings.

- eliminate the options that are not synonyms for indiscretion and choose the option that is a synonym for it. For example:

- eliminate option 2) sloth
- eliminate option 3) aversion
- eliminate option 4) vacillation
- choose option 1) folly as the answer.

- t4: the question asks us which word in brackets means the same as indiscretion. This means that we need to evaluate the value of folly that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem.

a summary
of
the answer
to
the question is:

to find
which word
in brackets
means
the same as indiscretion,
we need to use
the concept
of
synonyms and comparison,
and then compare each option with indiscretion and eliminate
the ones that do not match.
the answer is folly.

### human: shawn, who scored 146 on two iq tests in a row, is shorter than tarah. Tarah, who scored below erick on her test, is taller than erick. John scored an even 100 on his iq test and is the tallest of the group. The order of their height from shortest to tallest is john, tarah, erick, shawn. A. True b. False the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a logic problem that involves finding whether a statement is true or false based on a series of facts about four people's iq scores and heights. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of iq and how to compare it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of iq, we need to use the definitions and examples of iq from the web search results, which are: - iq stands for intelligence quotient, which is a measure of a person's cognitive abilities and potential. It is calculated by dividing a person's mental age by their chronological age and multiplying by 100. - iq tests are standardized tests that are designed to assess a person's iq and various aspects of their intelligence, such as verbal, mathematical, spatial, logical, and memory skills. They typically have multiple-choice questions that vary in difficulty and time limit. - iq scores are numerical values that represent a person's iq level and rank them in comparison to other people. They usually follow a normal distribution with an average of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. This means that about 68% of people have an iq score between 85 and 115, about 95% have an iq score between 70 and 130, and about 99.7% have an iq score between 55 and 145. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of verification, which is a way of checking whether a statement or condition is true or false by using evidence or logic. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let s be shawn's height, t be tarah's height, e be erick's height, and j be john's height. - write an equation or inequality that relates s, t, e, and j using the given facts. For example: q: shawn, who scored 146 on two iq tests in a row, is shorter than tarah. Tarah, who scored below erick on her test, is taller than erick. John scored an even 100 on his iq test and is the tallest of the group. E: s < t < j and e < t < j - verify whether the statement about the order of their height from shortest to tallest is true or false by using logic and substitution. For example: q: the order of their height from shortest to tallest is john, tarah, erick, shawn. S: j < t < e < s - substitute s < t < j and e < t < j into s: j < t < e < s j < t < j which is false because it implies that j is both smaller and larger than j. - therefore, the statement is false. - t4: the question asks us whether the statement is true or false. This means that we need to evaluate the value of false that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of false that we found is b. False, which means that the statement is false and the order of their height from shortest to tallest is not john, tarah, erick, shawn. This makes sense, because if we try different values for s, t, e, and j that satisfy e: s < t < j and e < t < j, we can see that they do not satisfy s: j < t < e < s. For example, if s = 1, t = 2, e = 3, and j = 4, then: s < t < j and e < t < j 1 < 2 < 4 and 3 < 2 < 4 which are true. J < t < e < s 4 < 2 < 3 < 1 which are false. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option b) false as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find whether the statement is true or false, we need to use the concept of iq and verification, and then write and verify an equation or inequality for the four people's heights. The answer is false. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me.


### human: t a number in your head. Double it. Subtract 2. Multiply by 3. Divide by 6. Add 2. The number is the same one you first selected in your head. A. True b. False ### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! The graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a logic problem that involves finding whether a statement is true or false based on a series of arithmetic operations. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of arithmetic and how to apply it to different numbers. - t2: to understand the concept of arithmetic, we need to use the definitions and rules of arithmetic from the web search results, which are: - arithmetic is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and manipulation of numbers. It involves four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. - addition is the operation of combining two numbers to get a larger number. It follows the commutative and associative properties, which mean that the order and grouping of the numbers do not affect the result. For example, 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5 and (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4) = 9. - subtraction is the operation of taking away one number from another to get a smaller number. It follows the inverse property, which means that adding the difference to the smaller number gives back the larger number. For example, 5 - 2 = 3 and 3 + 2 = 5. - multiplication is the operation of adding a number to itself a certain number of times to get a larger number. It follows the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, which mean that the order and grouping of the numbers do not affect the result, and that multiplying a sum by a number is equal to multiplying each addend by that number and then adding the products. For example, 2 x 3 = 3 x 2 = 6 and (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4) = 24 and 2 x (3 + 4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4) = 6 + 8 = 14. - division is the operation of splitting a number into equal parts or groups to get a smaller number. It follows the inverse property, which means that multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives back the dividend. For example, 6 / 2 = 3 and 3 x 2 = 6. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of verification, which is a way of checking whether a statement or condition is true or false by using evidence or logic. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let x be any number that we select in our head. - write an equation that relates x and the series of arithmetic operations using symbols and parentheses. For example: q: select a number in your head. Double it. Subtract 2. Multiply by 3. Divide by 6. Add 2. The number is the same one you first selected in your head. E: (((((x x 2) - 2) x 3) / 6) + 2) = x - verify whether the equation is true or false by simplifying it using arithmetic rules and logic. For example: ((((x x 2) - 2) x 3) / 6) + 2) = x (((x -1) x 3) /6 )+2)=x ((x -1)/2)+2)=x (x -1+4)/2)=x (x+3)/2)=x x+3=2x 3=x the equation is false because it implies that any number we select in our head must be equal to three, which is not possible for other numbers. - t4: the question asks us whether the number is the same one we first selected in our head. This means that we need to evaluate the value of false that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of false that we found is b. False, which means that the statement is false and the number is not the same one we first selected in our head. This makes sense, because if we try different values for x, we can see that they do not satisfy the equation. For example, if x = 2, then: ((((x x 2) - 2) x 3) / 6) + 2) = x ((((2 x 2) - 2) x 3) / 6) + 2) = 2 ((((4 - 2) x 3) / 6) + 2) = 2 (((2 x 3) / 6) + 2) = 2 ((6 / 6) + 2) = 2 (1 + 2) = 2 3 = 2 which is false. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option b) false as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find whether the number is the same one we first selected in our head, we need to use the concept of arithmetic and verification, and then write and verify an equation for the series of arithmetic operations. The answer is false.


### human: two rabbits, butt to butt, start hopping in opposite directions for 2 meters, hop left 3 meters, and then left another 2 meters. What is the distance between them? A. 12 meters b. 6 meters c. 2 meters d. 0 meters e. None of the above ### assistant: that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a distance problem that involves finding the length of the line segment that joins two points that move according to a given pattern. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of distance and how to calculate it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of distance, we need to use the formula for distance, which is: $$\\text{distance} = \\sqrt{({ {\\text{x2}} - {\\text{x1}}})^2 + ({ {\\text{y2}} - {\\text{y1}}})^2}$$ where: - x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the first point - x2 and y2 are the coordinates of the second point - distance is the length of the line segment that joins the two points distance can be measured in different units, such as meters, centimeters, inches, etc. For example, if we have two points a(1, 2) and b(4, 6), then their distance in meters is: $$\\text{distance} = \\sqrt{({ {4} - {1}})^2 + ({ {6} - {2}})^2}$$ $$\\text{distance} = \\sqrt{9 + 16}$$ $$\\text{distance} = \\sqrt{25}$$ $$\\text{distance} = 5$$ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of coordinates, which is a way of locating a point on a plane by using two numbers that represent its horizontal and vertical position. We also need to use the concept of geometry, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with shapes and figures. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - assign coordinates to the initial position of the two rabbits. For example: - let r1 be the first rabbit and r2 be the second rabbit. - let o(0, 0) be their initial position when they are butt to butt. - let r1 start hopping in the positive x-direction and r2 start hopping in the negative x-direction. - calculate the coordinates of each rabbit after each hop using addition and subtraction. For example: - after hopping in opposite directions for 2 meters: - r1: o(0, 0) + (2, 0) = (2, 0) - r2: o(0, 0) - (2, 0) = (-2, 0) - after hopping left 3 meters: - r1: (2, 0) + (0, -3) = (2, -3) - r2: (-2, 0) + (0, -3) = (-2, -3) - after hopping left another 2 meters: - r1: (2, -3) + (-2, 0) = (0, -3) - r2: (-2, -3) + (2, 0) = (0, -3) - calculate the distance between each rabbit using the formula for distance. For example: - distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) - distance = sqrt((0 - 0)^2 + (-3 - (-3))^2) - distance = sqrt(0 + 0) - distance = sqrt(0) - distance = 0 - t4: the question asks us what is the distance between them. This means that we need to evaluate the value of distance that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of distance that we found is 0, which means that the distance between the two rabbits is zero meters. This makes sense, because if we draw a diagram of their movements, we can see that they end up at the same point after hopping left twice. ! [diagram example] - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option d) 0 meters as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find the distance between the two rabbits that move according to a given pattern, we need to use the concept of distance and coordinates, and then calculate the coordinates and distance for each rabbit. The answer is 0 meters.


### human: the mystery number is between 60 and 150, a multiple of 7, and the sum of its digits is 10. What is the mystery number? A. 63 b. 84 c. 82 d. 91 e. None of the above ### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a number problem that involves finding the unknown value that satisfies three conditions. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of numbers and how to apply them in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of numbers, we need to use the definitions and properties of numbers from the web search results, which are: - numbers are symbols that represent quantities or values. They can be classified into different types, such as natural numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, etc. - a multiple of a number is a number that can be divided by that number without leaving a remainder. For example, 21 is a multiple of 7 because 21 / 7 = 3 with no remainder. - the sum of digits of a number is the result of adding all the digits in that number. For example, the sum of digits of 123 is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of solution, which is a way of finding an unknown value that makes an equation or inequality true. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let x be the mystery number. - write an equation or inequality that relates x and the three conditions. For example: q: the mystery number is between 60 and 150, a multiple of 7, and the sum of its digits is 10. E: 60 < x < 150 and x / 7 = k and x = 10a + b and a + b = 10 where: - k is an integer that represents how many times x can be divided by 7 - a and b are digits that represent the tens and ones place of x - solve for x by using logical reasoning and trial and error. For example: - since x is between 60 and 150, it must have two digits. - since x is a multiple of 7, it must end with either 0, 4, or 8. - since x has a sum of digits equal to 10, it must start with either 1, 2, or 9. - based on these clues, we can try different combinations of digits until we find one that satisfies all conditions. For example: - if x = 10 + b, then b = 0 and x = 10 (not between 60 and 150) - if x = 20 + b, then b = 4 or b = 8 and x = 24 or x = 28 (not between 60 and 150) - if x = 90 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 14 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 24 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 94 + b, then b = -4 or b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 18 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 28 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 98 + b, then b = -8 (not possible for digits) - if x = 81 + b, then b = -1 or b = -5 (not possible for digits) - if x = 91 + b, then b = -1 or b = -5 (not possible for digits) - if x = 84 + b, then b = -4 or b = 6 and x = 80 or x = 90 (not a sum of digits equal to 10) - the only possible value for x that satisfies all conditions is x = 91. - t4: the question asks us what is the mystery number. This means that we need to evaluate the value of x that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of x that we found is 91, which means that it is the mystery number. This makes sense, because if we plug in x into our equation, we get: 60 < x < 150 and x / 7 = k and x = 10a + b and a + b = 10 60 < 91 < 150 and 91 / 7 = 13 and 91 = 10(9) + 1 and 9 + 1 = 10 which are true for any value of k, a, and b. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option d) 91 as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find the mystery number that satisfies three conditions, we need to use the concept of numbers and solution, and then write and solve an equation or inequality for the unknown value. The answer is 91.


### human: any word or phrase produced from an original word or phrase by rearranging all the original letters to produce a new word or phrase is an anagram, another common iq question type. Which of the following is an anagram for "intelligence tests"? A. Clientele setting b. Genetic littleness c. Electing entitles d. All of the above e. None of the above ### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is an anagram problem that involves finding the word or phrase that is formed by rearranging all the letters of another word or phrase. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of anagrams and how to identify them in different contexts. - t2: to understand the concept of anagrams, we need to use the definition and examples of anagrams from the web search results, which are: - anagrams are words that are formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, such as cinema, formed from iceman. - anagrams are words that have exactly the same letters as another word or phrase in a different order, such as silent and listen. - anagrams are words that use all the letters in another word or phrase in a different order to make a new word or phrase, such as debit card and bad credit. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each option with the original word or phrase and check if they are anagrams based on their letters. For example: - option a) clientele setting: clientele setting is not an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has one extra letter e and one missing letter i. - option b) genetic littleness: genetic littleness is not an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has one extra letter g and one missing letter c. - option c) electing entitles: electing entitles is an anagram for intelligence tests, because it has exactly the same letters in a different order. - option d) all of the above: all of the above is not an option for an anagram problem, because it implies that there are multiple correct answers, which is not possible for anagrams. - option e) none of the above: none of the above is not an option for an anagram problem, because it implies that there are no correct answers, which is not possible for anagrams. - eliminate the options that are not anagrams for intelligence tests and choose the option that is an anagram for it. For example: - eliminate option a) clientele setting - eliminate option b) genetic littleness - eliminate option d) all of the above - eliminate option e) none of the above - choose option c) electing entitles as the answer. - t4: the question asks us which of the following is an anagram for intelligence tests. This means that we need to evaluate the value of electing entitles that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of electing entitles that we found is c. Electing entitles, which means that it is an anagram for intelligence tests. This makes sense, because if we rearrange all the letters of electing entitles, we get intelligence tests. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose electing entitles as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which of the following is an anagram for intelligence tests, we need to use the concept of anagrams and comparison, and then compare each option with intelligence tests and eliminate the ones that are not anagrams. The answer is electing entitles.


### human: sales of an intelligence test, authored by joe doe, an awarding-winning psychologist and educator with more than 35 years of experience, are skyrocketing above competitors. More than 30,000 intelligence tests were sold in the first six months, but sales are now falling. A competitor is selling 12,000 cognitive intelligence tests every three months. In another six months, how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor? A. 30,000 b. 10,500 c. 12,000 d. Growth will be the same e. Not enough information to determine the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has seven nodes: one for the question (q), and six for the thoughts (t1 to t6). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a sales problem that involves finding the difference between the number of tests sold by joe doe and his closest competitor after a certain period of time. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of sales and how to calculate it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of sales, we need to use the formula for sales, which is: $$\\text{sales} = { {\\text{price}} \\times {\\text{quantity}}}$$ where: - price is the amount of money charged for each test - quantity is the number of tests sold in a given period of time - sales is the amount of money earned from selling tests sales can be positive or negative depending on whether the quantity is increasing or decreasing. For example, if joe doe sells his test for $10 and sells 1000 tests in a month, then his sales are: $$\\text{sales} = { {10} \\times {1000}}$$ $$\\text{sales} = 10000$$ if his sales fall by 10% in the next month, then his sales are: $$\\text{sales} = { {10} \\times {(1000 - (0.1 \\times 1000))}}$$ $$\\text{sales} = { {10} \\times {900}}$$ $$\\text{sales} = 9000$$ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of difference, which is a way of finding how much one value is larger or smaller than another value by subtracting them. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let x be the number of tests sold by joe doe in another six months. - let y be the number of tests sold by his closest competitor in another six months. - let z be the difference between x and y. - write an equation that relates x and y using the given information. For example: q: sales of an intelligence test, authored by joe doe, an awarding-winning psychologist and educator with more than 35 years of experience, are skyrocketing above competitors. More than 30,000 intelligence tests were sold in the first six months, but sales are now falling. A competitor is selling 12,000 cognitive intelligence tests every three months. In another six months, how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor? E: x + 30000 = y + 24000 - solve for z by subtracting y from both sides and simplifying. For example: x + 30000 = y + 24000 x - y + 30000 = 24000 x - y = -6000 z = x - y z = -6000 - t4: the question asks us how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor in another six months. This means that we need to evaluate the value of z that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of z that we found is -6000, which means that joe doe will have sold 6000 tests less than his closest competitor in another six months. This makes sense, because if we plug in z into our equation, we get: x + 30000 = y + 24000 x - y = -6000 x - y + y = -6000 + y x = -6000 + y which is true for any value of x and y. - however, this is not one of the given options, so we need to choose the option that indicates that we cannot find the answer with the given information. For example: - choose option e) not enough information to determine as the answer because we cannot find the exact number of tests sold by joe doe and his closest competitor in another six months. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find how many more tests will joe doe have sold than his closest competitor in another six months, we need to use the concept of sales and difference, and then write and solve an equation for the difference. The answer is not enough information to determint


### human: compare and contrast or classification problems are commonly used to measure intelligence. Which of the five is least like the other four? A. Eel b. Shark c. Dolphin d. Swordfish e. Turtle ### assistant: the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a classification problem that involves finding the item that does not belong to the same group as the others. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of groups and how to categorize items based on their characteristics, such as appearance, behavior, habitat, or taxonomy. - t2: to understand the concept of groups, we need to use the definitions and descriptions of the items from the web search results, which are: - eel: a fish with an elongated, wormlike body and no scales. It belongs to the order anguilliformes and has about 800 species. It lives in both salt and fresh water and has a special organ to heat its eyes and brain. ¹² - shark: a fish with a cartilaginous skeleton and five to seven gill slits on each side of the head.

It lives on land or in water, depending on the species, and can be found on most continents and some islands. It breathes air and does not lay eggs underwater. ¹³¹⁴ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the items that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each item with the others and check if they belong to the same group based on their characteristics. For example: - eel is similar to shark and swordfish in being a fish, but different from dolphin and turtle in being cold-blooded. - shark is similar to eel and swordfish in being a fish, but different from dolphin and turtle in having gill slits. - dolphin is similar to turtle in being a mammal, but different from eel, shark, and swordfish in having lungs. - swordfish is similar to eel and shark in being a fish, but different from dolphin and turtle in having no teeth. - turtle is similar to dolphin in being a reptile, but different from eel, shark, and swordfish in having a shell. - eliminate the items that belong to the same group and choose the item that does not belong to any group. For example: - eliminate eel, shark, and swordfish because they are all fish. - eliminate dolphin because it is a mammal. - choose turtle as the answer because it is a reptile and has a shell. - t4: the question asks us which of the five is least like the other four. This means that we need to evaluate the value of turtle that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of turtle that we found is e. Turtle, which means that it is the least like the other four items. This makes sense, because if we plug in turtle into our comparison, we get: - turtle is different from eel, shark, and swordfish in being a reptile and not a fish. - turtle is different from dolphin in having a shell and not having lungs. - which are true for any characteristic. - the other options are more similar to each other than to turtle. For example: - eel, shark, and swordfish are all fish and have similar body shapes. - dolphin and eel have similar snouts and teeth. - shark and swordfish have similar scales and bills. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which of the five is least like the other four, we need to use the concept of groups and comparison, and then compare each item with the others and eliminate the ones that belong to the same group. The answer is e. Turtle. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

### human: quick mathematical computations are common on iq tests. Speed of response is important and used to determine the final iq score. Three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven. 6, 22, 13, 17, 14, 5 a. True b. False ### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a logic problem that involves finding whether a statement is true or false based on a mathematical condition. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of addition and how to apply it to different numbers. - t2: to understand the concept of addition, we need to use the formula for addition, which is: $$\\text{addition} = { {\\text{summand}} + {\\text{summand}}}$$ where: - summand is any number that is added to another number - addition is the result of adding two or more numbers together addition can be performed with any type of numbers, such as integers, fractions, decimals, etc. For example, if we add 6 and 5, we get: $$\\text{addition} = { {6} + {5}}$$ $$\\text{addition} = 11$$ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of verification, which is a way of checking whether a statement or condition is true or false by using evidence or logic. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - verify whether three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven by using addition. For example: - 6 + 22 + 13 = 41 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 22 + 17 = 45 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 22 + 14 = 42 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 22 + 5 = 33 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 13 + 17 = 36 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 13 + 14 = 33 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 13 + 5 = 24 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 17 + 14 = 37 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 17 + 5 = 28 (not equal to 27) - 6 + 14 + 5 = 25 (not equal to 27) - ... - eliminate the option that is not verified by the verification and choose the option that is verified by it. For example: - eliminate option a) true because it is not verified by the verification. None of the three numbers add up to twenty-seven. - choose option b) false as the answer because it is verified by the verification. Three of the following numbers do not add up to twenty-seven. - t4: the question asks us whether three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven. This means that we need to evaluate the value of false that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find whether three of the following numbers add up to twenty-seven, we need to use the concept of addition and verification, and then verify each possible combination of three numbers and eliminate the option that is not verified. The answer is false. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

### human: how many minutes is it before noon if 29 minutes ago it was six times as many minutes past 10 am? ### assistant: 1) 13 minutes 2) 15 minutes 3) 10 minutes 4) 16 minutes the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a time problem that involves finding the number of minutes before noon given a condition about the past time. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of time and how to calculate it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of time, we need to use the formula for time, which is: $$\\text{time} = { {\\text{hour}} \\times {60}} + {\\text{minute}}$$ where: - hour is the number of hours in a 12-hour clock format - minute is the number of minutes in an hour - time is the number of minutes in a day time can be positive or negative depending on whether it is before or after noon. For example, if it is 10:15 am, then the time is: $$\\text{time} = { {10} \\times {60}} + {15}$$ $$\\text{time} = 615$$ if it is 1:45 pm, then the time is: $$\\text{time} = { {(1 - 12)} \\times {60}} + {45}$$ $$\\text{time} = -255$$ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of equation, which is a way of finding an unknown value by equating two expressions that are equal. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let x be the number of minutes before noon. - let y be the number of minutes past 10 am 29 minutes ago. - write an equation that relates x and y using the given condition. For example: q: how many minutes is it before noon if 29 minutes ago it was six times as many minutes past 10 am? E: x + 29 = 6y - write another equation that relates x and y using the formula for time. For example: t: x = -y + 120 - solve for x by substituting y from one equation into another and simplifying. For example: x + 29 = 6y x = -y + 120 -y + 120 + 29 = 6y 149 = 7y y = { {149} \\over {7}} x = -({ {149} \\over {7}}) + 120 x = -21.29 + 120 x = 98.71 - t4: the question asks us how many minutes is it before noon. This means that we need to evaluate the value of x that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of x that we found is 98.71, which means that it is about 98.71 minutes before noon. This makes sense, because if we plug in x into our equations, we get: x + 29 = 6y 98.71 + 29 = 6({ {149} \\over {7}}) 127.71 = 127.71 x = -y + 120 98.71 = -({ {149} \\over {7}}) + 120 98.71 = 98.71 which are true for any value of y. - however, this is not one of the given options, so we need to round our answer to the nearest integer. For example: $$\\text{rounded answer} = \\text{round}(x)$$ $$\\text{rounded answer} = \\text{round}(98.71)$$ $$\\text{rounded answer} = 99$$ - this means that it is about *99 minutes* before noon. - the closest option to our answer is option 4) 16 minutes. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find how many minutes is it before noon, we need to use the concept of time and equation, and then write and solve an equation for the number of minutes. The answer is 99 minutes. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

### human: to answer the question using a graph of thought, which is a way of representing### assistant: the information generated by a large language model (llm) as a graph, where each node is a unit of information (a thought) and each edge is a connection or dependency between two thoughts. This allows the llm to combine different thoughts into more complex ones, or to evaluate the quality or relevance of each thought for a given task. The question is: q: which is the odd one out? 1) saliferous 2) evacuation 3) exhaustion 4) inoculated the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a classification problem that involves finding the word that does not belong to the same category as the others. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of categories and how to group words based on their meanings, forms, or functions. - t2: to understand the concept of categories, we need to use the definitions and examples of the words from the dictionary results, which are: - saliferous: adjective containing or producing salt: saliferous strata. ¹ - evacuation: noun [ c or u ] the act of moving people from a dangerous place to somewhere safe: the evacuation of civilians remains out of the question while the fighting continues. ² - exhaustion: noun [ c or u ] a state of extreme physical or mental tiredness: he was pale with exhaustion. ³ - inoculated: verb [ t ] to give a weak form of a disease to a person or animal, usually by injection, as a protection against that disease: my children have been inoculated against polio. ⁴ - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each word with the others and check if they belong to the same category based on their meanings, forms, or functions. For example: - saliferous is an adjective that describes something that contains or produces salt. It is derived from latin sal "salt" and -ferous "bearing". It is a scientific term that is used in geology and biology. - evacuation is a noun that denotes an action or process of moving people from a dangerous place to somewhere safe. It is derived from latin evacuare "to empty". It is a common term that is used in emergency situations and disasters. - exhaustion is a noun that denotes a state or condition of extreme physical or mental tiredness. It is derived from latin exhaurire "to drain out". It is a common term that is used in health and wellness contexts. - inoculated is a verb that denotes an action or process of giving a weak form of a disease to a person or animal as a protection against that disease. It is derived from latin inoculare "to graft". It is a scientific term that is used in medicine and immunology. - eliminate the words that belong to the same category and choose the word that does not belong to any category. For example: - eliminate saliferous and inoculated because they are both scientific terms that are derived from latin and have similar suffixes (-ferous and -lated). - eliminate evacuation and exhaustion because they are both common terms that are derived from latin and have similar suffixes (-tion). - choose saliferous as the answer because it does not belong to any category based on its meaning, form, or function. - t4: the question asks us which is the odd one out. This means that we need to evaluate the value of saliferous that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which is the odd one out, we need to use the concept of categories and comparison, and then compare each word with the others and eliminate the ones that belong to the same category. The answer is saliferous.


### human: which word in brackets means the same as the word in capitals? Indiscretion 1) folly 2) sloth 3) aversion 4) vacillation ### assistant: is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has five nodes: one for the question (q), and four for the thoughts (t1 to t4). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a vocabulary problem that involves finding the word that has the same or similar meaning to another word. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of synonyms and how to identify them in different contexts. - t2: to understand the concept of synonyms, we need to use the definition and examples of synonyms from the web search results, which are: - synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language. - synonyms are words that mean exactly or nearly the same thing as another word or phrase in your language. - synonyms are words that have similar meanings to other words. For example, \"big\" and \"large\" are synonyms. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each option with the word in capitals and check if they have the same or similar meaning. For example: - option 1) folly: folly is a synonym for indiscretion, because they both mean a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgement or sense. For example, \"he knew himself all too prone to indiscretion\" ¹ and \"he knew himself all too prone to folly\" have the same meaning. - option 2) sloth: sloth is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Sloth means laziness or slowness of movement, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgement or sense. For example, \"he was accused of sloth\" ² and \"he was accused of indiscretion\" have different meanings. - option 3) aversion: aversion is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Aversion means a strong feeling of dislike or avoidance, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgement or sense. For example, \"she had an aversion to snakes\" ³ and \"she had an indiscretion with snakes\" have different meanings. - option 4) vacillation: vacillation is not a synonym for indiscretion, because they have different meanings. Vacillation means an act or instance of wavering or being unable to decide, while indiscretion means a foolish act, idea, or practice that shows a lack of good judgement or sense. For example, \"she was criticized for her vacillation on security issues\" ⁴ and \"she was criticized for her indiscretion on security issues\" have different meanings. - eliminate the options that are not synonyms for indiscretion and choose the option that is a synonym for it. For example: - eliminate option 2) sloth - eliminate option 3) aversion - eliminate option 4) vacillation - choose option 1) folly as the answer. - t4: the question asks us which word in brackets means the same as indiscretion. This means that we need to evaluate the value of folly that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which word in brackets means the same as indiscretion, we need to use the concept of synonyms and comparison, and then compare each option with indiscretion and eliminate the ones that do not match. The answer is folly. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a vocabulary problem that involves finding the word that is opposite in meaning to another word. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of antonyms and how to identify them in different contexts. - t2: to understand the concept of antonyms, we need to use the definition and examples of antonyms from the web search results, which are: - antonyms are words that have opposite or nearly opposite meanings. - antonyms are words that mean the opposite of each other. For example, hot and cold are antonyms. - antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings. For example, black and white are antonyms. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of comparison, which is a way of finding the similarities and differences between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each option with the word in capitals and check if they are opposite in meaning. For example: - option 1) glow: glow is not opposite in meaning to frequent, because they belong to different categories of words. Glow is a verb or a noun that means to emit light or heat, or to have an intense color or emotion. Frequent is an adjective or a verb that means occurring or doing something often or regularly. - option 2) restrain: restrain is not opposite in meaning to frequent, because they belong to different categories of words. Restrain is a verb that means to hold back or control someone or something, or to prevent oneself from doing something. Frequent is an adjective or a verb that means occurring or doing something often or regularly. - option 3) avoid: avoid is opposite in meaning to frequent as a verb, because they have contrasting actions. Avoid means to keep away from or stop oneself from doing something. Frequent means to visit or go to something often or regularly. - option 4) discard: discard is not opposite in meaning to frequent, because they belong to different categories of words. Discard is a verb or a noun that means to get rid of something as useless or unwanted, or something that has been thrown away. Frequent is an adjective or a verb that means occurring or doing something often or regularly. - eliminate the options that are not opposite in meaning to frequent and choose the option that is opposite in meaning to it. For example: - eliminate option 1) glow - eliminate option 2) restrain - eliminate option 4) discard - choose option 3) avoid as the answer. - t4: the question asks us which word in brackets is opposite in meaning to frequent. This means that we need to evaluate the value of avoid that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which word in brackets is opposite in meaning to frequent, we need to use the concept of antonyms and comparison, and then compare each option with frequent and eliminate the ones that do not match. The answer is avoid. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me


### human: you have accidentally left the plug out of the bath and are attempting to fill the bath with both taps full on. The hot tap takes three minutes to fill the bath and the cold tap two minutes, and the water empties through the plughole in six minutes. In how many minutes will the bath be filled? ### assistant: 1) 1 2) 3 3) 1.5 4) 5 the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a rate problem that involves finding the time needed to fill the bath with water given the rates of filling and emptying. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of rate and how to calculate it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of rate, we need to use the formula for rate, which is: $$\\text{rate} = { {\\text{output}} \\over {\\text{input}}}$$ where: - output is the amount of water added or removed from the bath - input is the amount of time spent - rate is the ratio of output to input expressed as a unit of water per unit of time rate can be positive or negative depending on whether the output is increasing or decreasing. For example, if the hot tap adds 10 liters of water per minute, then its rate is +10 liters/minute. If the plughole removes 5 liters of water per minute, then its rate is -5 liters/minute. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of net rate, which is a way of finding the overall rate of change by adding or subtracting individual rates. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let x be the time in minutes needed to fill the bath with water. - let y be the capacity of the bath in liters. - find the net rate by adding or subtracting the rates of filling and emptying. For example: $$\\text{net rate} = (\\text{hot tap rate}) + (\\text{cold tap rate}) - (\\text{plughole rate})$$ $$\\text{net rate} = { {y} \\over {3}} + { {y} \\over {2}} - { {y} \\over {6}}$$ $$\\text{net rate} = { {(2y + 3y - y)} \\over {6}}$$ $$\\text{net rate} = { {(4y)} \\over {6}}$$ $$\\text{net rate} = { {(2y)} \\over {3}}$$ - set up an equation by equating the net output and input. For example: $$\\text{net output} = \\text{net input}$$ $${ {(2y)} \\over {3}} \\times x = y$$ - solve for x by dividing both sides by (2y/3). For example: $${ {(2y)} \\over {3}} \\times x = y$$ $$x = { {y} \\over {( {(2y)} \\over {3}) }}$$ $$x = { {(3)} \\over {(2)}}$$ $$x = 1.5$$ - t4: the question asks us in how many minutes will the bath be filled. This means that we need to evaluate the value of x that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of x that we found is 1.5, which means that it takes 1.5 minutes to fill the bath with water. This makes sense, because if we plug in x into our equation, we get: $${ {(2y)} \\over {3}} \\times 1.5 = y$$ $${ {(2y)} \\over {2}} = y$$ $$y = y$$ which is true for any value of y. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option 3) 1.5 as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find in how many minutes will the bath be filled, we need to use the concept of rate and net rate, and then set up and solve an equation for the time. The answer is 1.5 minutes. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

Dolmens are made of two or more upright stones with a single stone lying across them. ² - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of association, which is a way of finding the relationship or connection between two or more things. We also need to use the concept of elimination, which is a way of removing the options that do not match the criteria. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - compare each option with the definition and examples of dolmen and check if they are always associated with it. For example: - option 1) cloths: cloths are not always associated with dolmen, because they are not part of its structure or function. Cloths may be used to cover or decorate some dolmen, but they are not essential or common elements. - option 2) statue: statues are not always associated with dolmen, because they are not part of its structure or function. Statues may be placed near or on some dolmen, but they are not essential or common elements. - option 3) tribe: tribes are not always associated with dolmen, because they are not part of its structure or function. Tribes may have built or used some dolmen, but they are not essential or common elements. - option 4) stone: stones are always associated with dolmen, because they are part of its structure and function. Stones are essential and common elements that form the dolmen. - eliminate the options that are not always associated with dolmen and choose the option that is always associated with it. For example: - eliminate option 1) cloths - eliminate option 2) statue - eliminate option 3) tribe - choose option 4) stone as the answer. - t4: the question asks us what is always associated with dolmen.

The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is a logical reasoning problem that involves finding the name of a day of the week based on a series of operations and relations. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of days of the week and how to manipulate them using arithmetic and logical operations. - t2: to understand the concept of days of the week, we need to use the list of days of the week, which is: sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday sunday the list of days of the week is a cyclic sequence that repeats itself every seven days. This means that any day can be followed or preceded by any other day depending on how many steps we move forward or backward in the sequence. For example, if we start from monday and move three steps forward, we get thursday. If we start from saturday and move two steps backward, we get thursday as well. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of arithmetic and logical operations, which are ways of combining or modifying values using symbols and rules. We also need to use the concept of order of operations, which is a convention that determines the sequence in which operations are performed. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - identify and label each operation and relation in the question using parentheses and symbols. For example: q: which day is (three days before) ((the day immediately following) ((the day two days before) ((the day three days after) (the day immediately before friday))))? - perform each operation and relation from inside to outside following the order of operations. For example: - find (the day immediately before friday) by moving one step backward in the list of days of the week. For example: (the day immediately before friday) = thursday - find (the day three days after thursday) by moving three steps forward in the list of days of the week. For example: (the day three days after thursday) = sunday - find (the day two days before sunday) by moving two steps backward in the list of days of the week. For example: (the day two days before sunday) = friday - find (the day immediately following friday) by moving one step forward in the list of days of the week. For example: (the day immediately following friday) = saturday - find (three days before saturday) by moving three steps backward in the list of days of the week. For example: (three days before saturday) = wednesday - t4: the question asks us which day is three days before saturday. This means that we need to evaluate the value of wednesday that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of wednesday that we found is wednesday, which means that wednesday is three days before saturday. This makes sense, because if we move three steps forward from wednesday in the list of days of the week, we get saturday. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose wednesday as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find which day is three days before saturday, we need to use the concept of days of the week and arithmetic and logical operations, and then perform each operation and relation from inside to outside. The answer is wednesday. I hope this example helps you understand how a graph of thought can be used for reasoning with large language models.

### human: a car travels at a speed of 40 mph over a certain distance and then returns over the same distance at a speed of 60 mph. What is the average speed for the total journey? 1) 30 mph 2) 40 mph 3) 60 mph 4) 48 mph ### assistant: the graph of thought that i generated for this task is shown below: ! [graph of thought example] the graph of thought has six nodes: one for the question (q), and five for the thoughts (t1 to t5). The edges between the nodes indicate the dependencies or connections between the thoughts. For example, t1 depends on q, t2 depends on t1, t3 depends on t2, and so on. The thoughts are as follows: - t1: the given question is an average speed problem that involves finding the average speed of a car that travels over the same distance twice at different speeds. To find the answer, we need to understand the concept of average speed and how to calculate it in different situations. - t2: to understand the concept of average speed, we need to use the formula for average speed, which is: $$\\text{average speed} = { {\\text{total distance}} \\over {\\text{total time}}}$$ where: - total distance is the sum of the distances traveled in each part of the journey - total time is the sum of the times spent in each part of the journey - average speed is the ratio of total distance to total time expressed as a unit of distance per unit of time average speed is different from instantaneous speed, which is the speed at any given moment. Average speed gives an overall measure of how fast an object moves during a journey. - t3: to find the answer, we need to use the concept of distance, time and speed relationship, which is a way of finding one of these quantities given the other two. We also need to use the concept of algebra, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and equations. We can use the following steps to find the answer: - let d be the distance traveled by the car in one direction. Then, the total distance traveled by the car in both directions is 2d. - let t1 be the time taken by the car to travel at 40 mph in one direction. Then, using the formula for speed, we can write: $$\\text{speed} = { {\\text{distance}} \\over {\\text{time}}}$$ $$40 = { {d} \\over {t1}}$$ and solve for t1 by multiplying both sides by t1 and dividing both sides by 40: $$t1 = { {d} \\over {40}}$$ - let t2 be the time taken by the car to travel at 60 mph in the other direction. Then, using the formula for speed, we can write: $$\\text{speed} = { {\\text{distance}} \\over {\\text{time}}}$$ $$60 = { {d} \\over {t2}}$$ and solve for t2 by multiplying both sides by t2 and dividing both sides by 60: $$t2 = { {d} \\over {60}}$$ - find the total time taken by the car to travel in both directions by adding t1 and t2. For example: $$\\text{total time} = t1 + t2$$ $$\\text{total time} = { {d} \\over {40}} + { {d} \\over {60}}$$ - find the average speed of the car by dividing the total distance by the total time. For example: $$\\text{average speed} = { {\\text{total distance}} \\over {\\text{total time}}}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = { {(2d)} \\over {(t1 + t2)}}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = { {(2d)} \\over {( ({d} \\over {40}) + ({d} \\over {60}) )}}$$ - simplify and evaluate the expression for the average speed by using algebraic rules and arithmetic operations. For example: $$\\text{average speed} = {{(2d)} \\over {( ({d} \\over {40}) + ({d} \\over {60}) )}}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = {{(2d)} \\over {( ({3d} \\over {120}) + ({2d} \\over {120}) )}}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = {{(2d)} \\over {( ({5d} \\over {120}) )}}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = {{(2d)} \\times {( {120} \\over {5d}) }}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = {{(2) \\times {( {120} \\over {5}) }}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = {{(24) \\times {( {12} \\over {1}) }}$$ $$\\text{average speed} = 48$$ - t4: the question asks us what is the average speed for the total journey. This means that we need to evaluate the value of the average speed that we found in the previous step, and check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. We also need to compare our answer with the given options and choose the correct one. - t5: we can answer the question by using the following arguments: - the value of the average speed that we found is 48, which means that the average speed for the total journey is 48 mph. This makes sense, because the average speed is between the two speeds of 40 mph and 60 mph, and it is closer to the higher speed, since the car spends less time at the lower speed. - this is one of the given options, so we can choose option 4) 48 mph as our answer. A summary of the answer to the question is: to find the average speed for the total journey, we need to use the concept of average speed and distance, time and speed relationship, and then simplify and evaluate the expression for the average speed. The answer is 48 mph.
