[1] Helping explain complex mathematics challenges
ChatGPT was given the image below, which is a screenshot from the paper 'Actuarial Mathematics for Modelling Core Practices' set in April 2025. This was the prompt initially used:
"This is an example question from a professional exam for actuaries in the UK. Please solve it but be sure to explain every step carefully so that I can follow all of your working."
This caused ChatGPT 5 to think for about two minutes followed by a detailed response, with an answer to the first part of £ 349,177. Figures from the official tables had been looked up correctly. The screenshot below was just a small part of ChatGPT's answer. We have the official answer paper which gave an answer of approx £ 349,080. The second part was similarily close. Methodology has not been checked but looked good at first glance.
