Can someone provide an explanation (and perhaps a solution) for this please?
I use the following prompt:
“I’m in my house. On top of my chair in the living room is a coffee cup. Inside the coffee cup is a thimble. Inside the thimble is a single diamond. I move the chair to my bedroom. Then I put the coffee cup on the bed. Then I turn the cup upside down. Then I return it to rightside-up, and place the coffee cup on the kitchen counter. Where is my diamond?”

Thank you.
