Firefox has decided to install ChatGPT on my system. At some point I will have to find out how inquisitive it is, but for now I've been setting it puzzles.
 So far I have set it the following puzzles:
 1) The Goldbach Conjecture - PROVED (for low n).
2) 5-disc Hanoi - PASSED.
3) Write a valid C90 program that is invalid C99 - FAILED.
4) Today's bucket-slosher from Kevin's BB site - PASSED.
5) Yesterday's BB multiple choice - FAILED (after six attempts!).

About a year ago I asked an AI to create some original logic puzzles, each with an unique solution. It generated what, at first, appeared to be valid puzzles.  They were fairly simple (e.g., three statements and a question that could be answered by analyzing the statements).  When the AI gave the intended solution, it often contradicted the statements.  In other attempts, the solution wasn't unique.
