I think they've fixed it now, but it does seem to recognize popular trick questions, like "what weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?". It would answer with the typical explanation about density not mattering, etc.

But, it used to fail on "what weighs more, 3 tons of feathers or 2 tons of bricks?".

So, it seems less about what's a trick, and more about what's a common question --> answer pattern.

It's the same with humans. I don't fail on this (in an on-the-spot response) question because I've fallen on it as a kid, then learned the trick, then learned to be suspicious of this trick in similarly-worded questions.
