Another prompt i have seen that fools some LLMs but not others is "How many legs does a Manx cat have?" Some will answer with the expected four, but some get confused and will tell you that it has no legs (the Manx cat is known for having no tail, but has the standard four legs). I wish I documented it at the time but one LLM even returned the answer that a Manx cat has no legs, and then quoted a long paragraph from somewhere (possibly wikipedia) as a reference that clearly stated it has four legs but no tail.
