Without any context? Without: 'haha look, AI is easily distracted'. Without: 'Can you please answer this question'. Just the text?

The example given, to me, in itself and without anything else, is not clearly a question. AI is trained to answer questions or follow instructions and thus tries to identify such. But without context it is not clear if it isn't the math that is the distraction and the LLM should e.g confirm the fun fact. You just assume so because its the majority of the text, but that is not automatically given.

How is this not clearly a question?

"In triangle △ABC, AB = 86, and AC = 97. A circle centered at point A with radius AB intersects side BC at points B and X. Moreover, BX and CX have integer lengths. What is the length of BC? Interesting fact: Cats sleep for most of their lives."

For me it's very clearly asking the length of BC
