The trick is to get it to show its work first and then calculate the answer. If it guesses the wrong answer first and then writes out the steps, it won't correct it.

This works: "Find the area of an ellipse with semimajor axis 5 and semiminor axis 4. Don't calculate the result until the end."

After computing your example, I tried my original question which now gives the correct answer. In fact, it gives essentially the same response for both forms of the question. I guess the training works as it should.
