A user wants a language model to solve a simple logic puzzle and see the model's reasoning process. Crucially, the user does not want to provide any examples of how to solve similar puzzles. The user's initial query is: 'If a red house is made of red bricks and a blue house is made of blue bricks, what is a green house made of?' Which of the following modified prompts best applies the simple, well-known technique for eliciting a step-by-step thought process without providing any examples?
