This is a very interesting scenario, thank you for posting it!
I suspect that ChatGPT can’t even be relied upon to answer in a manner that is consistent with having chosen a number.
In principle a more capable LLM could answer consistently, but almost certainly won’t “choose a number” at the point of emitting “Ready” (even with temperature zero). The subsequent questions will almost certainly influence the final number, and I suspect this may be a fundamental limitation of this sort of architecture.
