Something akin to: Here is a niche mathematical problem that does not fit any existing solutions/publications, we need a working but not necessarily optimal solution to do this. ?

Sure, or even an existing algo or method that is applied to something very niche that hasn't been done much (at least in the data GPT is trained on, I guess).

In my experience these things need a little nuance communicated as a part of the problem, but GPT can't get there. It just starts looping over incorrect solutions (rather than modifying them slightly to get it right like a person would).

These aren't crazy advanced things, either. I'm not a genius. I solved the problems when GPT couldn't. I was just trying out GPT4.
