A math problem that even a professor couldn't solve, ChatGPT provided the answer in 10 seconds.

Professor Do Duc Thai stated that question 44 - code 109 of the 2024 high school graduation exam in Mathematics was impossible for three mathematics professors to solve, so is ChatGPT's solution correct?

At the training program to enhance the capacity of lecturers from higher education institutions that train teachers to implement the new general education program, organized by Hanoi Pedagogical University yesterday morning (April 10), Professor Do Duc Thai (lecturer at Hanoi Pedagogical University) mentioned a question in the 2024 high school graduation exam in Mathematics that stumped the professors.

The question was asked with the following content:

Professor Thai said that three professors specializing in complex geometry, including himself, were all stumped by this one question. "It was impossible to solve within the time limit," he said, adding that the professors spent an entire afternoon without success.

Meanwhile, according to the regulations for the high school graduation exam, the Math exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions with a time limit of 90 minutes, meaning the average time to solve each question is only about 1.8 minutes.

This question stumped leading mathematics professors at Hanoi Pedagogical University, but when put into ChatGPT, it was solved in 10 seconds. Notably, ChatGPT provided a very detailed solution, and the answer matched the official answer published by the Ministry of Education and Training, which was B.

Here is the detailed solution from ChatGPT:
