Here is what I got from o1:

To find two prime numbers that sum to 123, let’s consider the properties of prime numbers and the nature of their sums: 1. Prime Numbers Greater Than 2 Are Odd: Except for 2, all prime numbers are odd. 2. Sum of Two Odd Numbers Is Even: Adding two odd numbers results in an even number. 3. Sum of an Even and an Odd Number Is Odd: Adding an even number (like 2) and an odd number results in an odd sum.

Given that 123 is an odd number, the only way two primes can sum to 123 is if one of them is 2 (the only even prime) and the other is an odd prime. Let’s test this possibility: • 2 + x = 123 ⇒ x = 121

However, 121 is not a prime number (since ).

Next, consider the possibility of adding two odd primes: • Odd Prime + Odd Prime = Even Number

Since adding two odd primes yields an even number, it’s impossible for two odd primes to sum to 123 (an odd number).

Conclusion: There are no two prime numbers that sum to 123.

Answer: There are no two prime numbers whose sum is 123; such primes do not exist.



I think may be i am not with the right model. the reasoning looks so good here. May be the default model in chatgpt free is not the one which you used.


qwq went through a two screenfuls of tokens to try all primes under 123 twice, but eventually gave the right answer.


Well explained!
