Reasoning with chain-of-thought prompts

Chain-of-thought prompting is helpful to explain the reasoning behind the answer that the model is giving, especially in complex tasks such as generating the solution for a mathematical problem or a riddle. In this exercise, you will craft a chain-of-thought prompt to let the language model guess the age of your friend's father based on some information you will provide.

The OpenAI package and the get_response() function have been pre-loaded for you.
