**psst** Are you enjoying Scam School? You've gotta check out our *brand-new series* "The Modern Rogue" at ruclips.net/user/modernrogue. If you've seen it, reply and tell me what you think. If not, then get on over there. I'll bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian
Idk about that but I figured out the third riddle. Buy me beer please.
Where the fuck did he get 14 fron
I need my dollar
I need my dollar, I absolutely love the show
I got the second riddle by logic and the third riddle by dumb luck. I went through a few combinations and 3-3-8 just kept resounding with me. When Mike mentioned the thing about "the ELDEST likes chocolate means the eldest can't have a twin" and the you mentioned the 2-6-6 set it just made 3-3-8 sound even better.
"If you get one right I'll buy you beer all night" *gets the second one right* "ok we are tied now"
+Brandon Chapman spoiler: I buy all the beers every night we shoot.
ok, that's awesome!!
Spoiler: just subscribed lol nice vids
Yeah the second one was pretty much common sense
These riddles are a good reminder to think outside the box.

That one time you see a clean shaved Jason😂
Two years late, but he looks like some kind of weird baby
He was shaved for the entire time on hacking the system. I saw that first before modern rogue, and I thought he looked weird with a beard.
Our brain is just completely ignoring the "It's impossible with the current information" as a hint :D
Yup
I'm guessing that's because it wasn't displayed on the screen.
Lol, my favorite thing about all these videos is all the subscribers bragging about how smart they are and how quick the figured it out.
welcome to the internet. Amazingly, it only took 6 years for me to stop being annoyed by it.
Scam School I honestly feel kind of bad for you, having to deal with that for so long. Either way, i like your videos, so keep up the good work.
And now they are all making money off friends using these riddles they did not now before this episode :p
Probably lying. I usually solve the puzzles in these videos, and rarely comment saying so. The first two were ok, but the last part of the last one got me completely. Really good stuff!! Awesome vid :D
Jeb Slick I only post that I found the answer because I fell proud of my achievement because I feel like I would have to be quite smart to solve things Brian Brushwood couldn't solve, I mean with all the time he spend on these videos training his mind like that he must be damn good at it.
The horses name was friday
icarly?
+Derrick Barnes Yes, iCarly!!! :D
+Danielle Mcintyre lol I just watched that episode with my younger brother like 2 hours ago

Lol, me too! I watched it on Nickelodeon, the same episode :D
+afrochickenboy No the horses name was John Cena

"Surely that's it, because adding them up would make the sum as the hosue across the street. That's the number we don't have, so if it's the three that add up, surely the house across the street is whatever number is those three added up".
That's the biggest 200 IQ statement of all time.
I don't get it. All the possibilities have 3 numbers that add up. What's special about this one?
I was trying to search up the word riddles on RUclips using the voice search. It didn't turn out well
Me: riddles
Search: eagles
Me: no, riddles
Search: noodles
Me: riddles dammit
Search: befuddled
Me: arrrrrgggghh
The riddle is: How do you use voice search to search for riddles?
周 むてん Oh, I was on an iPad so it gave the option for voice search
That could be turned into a riddle...?
Scam school is the perfect mix of comedy and brain melting. Thanks Brian!
glad you dig it!
Scam School you forgot to make annotation
So I went and tried this out on my 11 year old friend, and bet two pieces of gum on it. At my age, gum is big. This is my failure story. This is pretty much how the conversation went. I told him the riddle.(3rd one.)
"So if I guess and get it wrong, do I get another guess?"
"Sure, I mean, but you can't guess all the factors of 72."
"Yeah, of course. So, ummmmmmmmm, 3 times 3 times 8?"
"Holy crud!!! How the heck--?" So I'm thinking, no way, just, whaaaaaaaaat?!
"Did I get it right."
"How in the world--? Did you just guess?"
"Well, I used the one and two statements. Since 3+3+8=14."
"Well how did that help you? You don't know the house number is 14!"
"Oh, yeah, then I used 1 and 3."
"Well without statement 2, what use was 3?"
"I don't know."
"So you guessed?"
"You know you still owe me the gum, right?"
"Yes yes, fine." So this is my failure story of how I ended up forking over 2 big hunks of BLC. Thanks scam school. But you're still great.
+Griffin Murphy he just guessed. The answer shouldn't just be the numbers because anyone can get it right out of luck. To figure out why its those particular numbers, that's the hard part; the workings out. Get your gum back.
The third one is impossible to figure out without knowing the house number
But that leaves two possibilities left, so how does the oldest daughter liking chocolate cancel one of the possibilities out?
+Jackie Bruhn your right my bad
+Josh There are only 2 sequences that add up to 14 right, 3-3-8 and 2-6-6.The last clue suggests that the eldest's age is different from the others' which eliminates the 2-6-6.
Thien An Duong Do Yeah, but I don't understand how it eliminates 2-6-6. Because couldn't it be that the two 6 year olds are either born 9 to 12 months apart, but the same amount of years old. Or the mathematician had daughters with two different people at the same time. Or most likely, the two 6 year olds are simply twins and the older one likes chocolate?
i know right how are you supposed to know the house number is 14 the only things these people do is give a vague explanation with big words
as a family with twins, there is always an 'oldest' twin. The chocolate doesn't remove anything.
3:17 i can only use common logic and say none. if you using candles, you're possibly in the dark which could mean its night time. you fall asleep and the candles burn out.
-UPDATE-
3:47 it makes sense seeing as the candles were blown out and wasnt burning throughout the time frame
Brian Brushwood used "my" riddle... FUCK YEAH.
Kaylani Bochie :-)
I completely guessed 3-3-8 and I was right.😜😜😜😜😜😜😍😡😰😱😵😓😏😕😝😝😹🙀👌🏼💪🏼👐🏼🙏🏼👋🏼👍🏼🐸
Scam School, as a maths major, I find the mathematics in your videos rather simple.
That being said, I still adore them, because they encourage everyone to think differently when it comes to problem solving. What you are teaching is common sense and lateral thinking when approaching new problems. Something that they don't teach in school and is rather hard to teach in the first place.
Typed before Brian reveals answer: I wrote down every possible combination to get the product 72. I then added the possible ages and wrote them next to it. Then with Brian's chocolate hint, i figured out that 2,6,6 doesn't work. Then I realized something, Brian says that the first mathematician points to the house across the street. The second mathematician knows something that we don't, the house number. but he claims that it is still unsolvable. this has to mean that there is a repeat in the sums. I looked through the sums and found that 2,6,6 and 3,3,8 both equals 14. the second mathematician says that it is solvable after the chocolate clue. so 2,6,6 is eliminated, leaving 3,3,8 the answer. (Got the first two right btw, hope this last one is too).
After Reveal: I got it Brian, (needed that chocolate clue, but i got it!!!)!! also got the first two riddles, but this last one took me awhile
well done!
Scam School Thanks!!
I get it now the chocolate hint means the eldest so 6, 6, 2 doesn't work because the 6, 6 year olds (aka twins) are both the oldest so and there can only be 1 eldest so that means 3, 3, 8 does work. GOOD JOB!!!!
Maria Tomich thanks, but i think the house number hint was the most difficult to figure out.
Good stuff finding that hint, every riddle as that one hard to find hint that is needed to get the answer but is easily over looked thanks to other parts of the riddle. I watched this more then once and I was like this is unfair you can't get the answer, then I read your comment and said OOOhhh. Hats off to you.
Yea that second one I figured out as quick as in the episode. Brian you should have got that one.
I am dumb.
Ditto mate
Scam School Thanks man :D
Scam School out of most popular youtubers im surprised you reply
Is it bad that I get excited as hell when new videos come through? Scam School is like crack for me I swear, even the throwbacks
After seeing more recent videos with Jason having a beard, an almost clean-shaven Jason haunts me
What annoys me about this video is the fact that the statements the mathematicians made were not included in the on screen text, so I assumed that information was irreverent.
Peter Schorn *irrelevant
Scam School so what?
Sierra Autumn so it's a little misleading
I tagged Scam School , So i obviously was talking to them saying it doesn't matter how you spelled it :)
Sierra Autumn sorry
the second one is wrong. 0 candles. the house burned down with the 7 unsupervised fires.
Okay, but, there's always going to be an eldest in a set of twins. They don't just magically come out at the same time.
I thought the same thing!
conjoined twins
lmao
That's the problem with this riddle. It is supposed to be extremely difficult, and yet it punishes you for thinking too hard about it.
Not twins- two mothers who gave birth at precisely the same time.
Wow. I thought "the house across the street" might've had something to do with the first riddle where the man bought house numbers😂😂 Clever .
Lol i guessed the last one right by complete luck, i was like: "ehhh. 3, 3, and 8 gives 72 and i have no idea what to do with the other information so i would guess that."
N1nJaMuFf1n lucky win is still a win!
Same lol I
the number across the street is 122 from the guy in the first qustion
@@Limeonades_. Yeah it is 12 + 2 = 14... lol
Interestingly, if you know the owner of the house across the street bought his house numbers at that same hardware store, AND you know how much he paid for them, it doesn't give you any information. All 12 combinations have sums between 13 and 74, so no matter what, he would have paid $0.40
best participants by far. they took it so well and didn't give up after 2 minutes. bring them back!!
I actually use a similar riddle to the candle one to entertain tables while I serve for work...
(Simplified) You fire at 3 birds in a tree and miss them all. How many birds are in the tree?
I like riddles you can use anywhere, and Scam School has always been my inspiration; this video is the epitome of that and given me a few more tricks to entertain the masses ❤🎉❤
I got the last one right! I'm so happy!
I subscribed when I saw his face :). When I saw the tricks I had to make new account and subscribe once again! Good Job
+Flore Loriz hah, thanks!
+Scam School You got a new haircut in this one lol, I was watching the 2011 episodes
Brian has a maniacal laughter for professional reasons
I love it in the introduction where all the people are looking at Brian like- "What the..."
I literally came up with 3-3-8 by sheer luck because the first thing that came to my mind was " ok 72 is a multiple of nine, 3x3 is nine. What time nine is 72? Oh yeah 8
***** lucky win is still a win!
Twins, one is still older even if it's by minutes...
ಠ_ಠ
+Scam School F******
But it's not likely one twin would dislike chocolate. But that wasn't the point to the hint.
2 years late, but the mathematician that proposed the question gave this hint knowing it would help the other one solve it, which means that the two eldest daughters couldn't have been twins
This is what we call sour grapes at not being able to figure out the riddle-
Be honest- it’s not like from the first two clues you narrowed it down to either 6,6,2 or 8,3,3 and then said, “well that last clue doesn’t help because one of those 6-year-olds would be older by a few minutes.”
I watched this in the middle of the night trying to watch something before I went to sleep, but the last one kept me up until I pulled out pencil and paper and worked it out! I’m going to sleep now...
Don't mess with bored mathematicians, man.
I've actually heard the first one before! Definitely fooled the elementary school me.
The second one "fooled" me but mostly because the candles I use burn for weeks.. I wouldn't have thought of the candles melting into a pool within a day like that.
The third one was a really good one! I didn't quite understand your explanation and thought "well there would be no way to know that" since you just said "there are two permutations that add up to 14" yet you left out that none of the of sums of the other permutations add up to the same as any other permutation, causing there to be only one possibility for the mathematician to believe that there wasn't enough information (assuming that he knew the number of the building across the street).
P.S. Knowing that the eldest child likes chocolate doesn't TRULY solve it. I have a cousin that was born 10 months after his sister within the same year, making the 2-6-6 permutation viable for those hints as well.
The daughters are 1, 4 and 18
1x4x18 = 72
1+4+18 = 23 The same as the number of letters in "the house across the street"
The eldest daughter loves chocolate because she just had a bad breakup with her lesbian life-partner.
+ImperiousViking seems legit.
that escalated unexpectedly
Very clever! However, Brian says "that" while only the caption says "the", so... technicalities and whatnot. Good job getting the "legit" card from Scam School though!
HOLYYYYY SHEIZER, THE NUMBER OF THE HOUSE ACROSS MY STREET IS 23 😲😲😯😱😱😱
+ImperiousViking in that case the mathmetician wouldn't have needed the 2nd piece of information
Jason without a beard, this is an atrocity against mankind!
Outside the realm of puzzles, you would have no candles left because the house burned down
You should wear a Riddler unitard and do a superhero based scam next episode.
Connor Hayes good point.
Scam School Yo Brian. What's the email I can give you puzzles at?
Connor Hayes hint: it's the address I give out almost every episode. Brian@shwood.com
Scam School Brian, did you ever get my puzzles? I emailed them to you last week.
On the last riddle, third clue does not say anything. It can be 2-6-6. Imagine one daughter born in january and second one in april. If you ask their age in may, they will be same age, but one of them will be clearly older. Therefore it is impossible to solve this riddle.
Omilis a four-month gestation period seems rather... unlikely.
Scam School Well, riddle did not state, that daughters had same mother. And there are siblings (with same mother) less than year apart, but not twins.
Especially mathematician would assume, that they can have same age. Even with last clue.
Omilis Pedantic. No beer for you!
Omilis i got the last riddle (before answer came up on screen as i paused the video to work it out) basically the eldest is born in January but in February the egg is fertilised for the twins who are born in November(it takes 9 months for a child to be born) but this question happened in November (after the twins birthday) or in December
I have already heard riddle 2 before, and I got riddle 3, but riddle 1 stumped me!
In an alternate reality where Jason solved the second riddle, Modern Rogue is co-hosted with Mike.
There's a problem with the third riddle. It suggests that any of the man's children that were born within a year of one another (are the same number of years old) are twins. When in actuality, he could have had them with a different woman or they could have been premature.
It is irrelevant if the are twins or not. Doesn't change the riddle or the logic or the answer. So making an assumption hey are twins is inaccurate. So what? The "eldest" simply implies the 2 oldest are not the same age thus eliminating 6 -6 -2. The fact that the only other answers is 3 -3 - 8 and the 3's are the same age is of no matter. The younger did not have to be the same age but that is how it worked out mathematically
yeah but if 2 of them are 6 who is to say one of them isnt a few months older than wouldnt that one be considered the eldest? Edit: Nvm eldest needs to be an age older i was thinking that the terms oldest and eldest meant the same thing.
SpaceWaster24 No one was counting minutes and seconds. But technically you are correct. So if you went with that answer good for you. If anyone actually worked it out to those answers realizing the clue about the eldest, then they would apply your logic and asset both could be correct. And if so I would agree. But I would think this argument would likely be made after the fact by someone that didnt not in fact narrow it down to two answers.
Lou Paul yeah if people narrowed it down most would pick 8 3 3 your right.
There is no difference between "eldest" and "oldest", except that eldest is only really used to describe the relationship between the ages of humans.
Because of the problem I mentioned above, 2, 6 and 6 is technically also a valid answer, as one daughter would be two, the next could be exactly six and the Eldest could then be a few months older, being the eldest while still being the same number of years, six.
In fact if one was older but had her birthday a day later than her sister, there could be a difference of as much as 364 days and they would still both be six.
Blah blah blah. Solved I win
ಠ_ಠ
Scam School Guessed the first one when you said 12 costs 40 cents... honestly I'm surprised the second one "floored" you, you must have heard it told with more subtle delivery. The third one I've heard before, but I forgot the answer.
Blah blah blah. you solved you lost
2*6*6=72=14 - 3*3*8=72=14
Even among twins (Regular) only one is eldest.
***** Now you gave me a picture of twins being pulled out at the exact same time so neither is older ... DAMN YOU!
GizmoTheViking Sorry :( ....
Well you will be happy to hear that
you just enter a picture in my head of twin boobs pulled out at exact same time ... Thank you .
I got the first one with ease, the second one is sooo obvious and the last one needed your thinking cap, so I did solve 2 out of 3 and the last one was pretty close, good one, give us more brushwood
The last one is probably my favorite puzzle that I have found on scam school. Many of them are too easy if you actually work them out (which I know doesn't happen in the bar often) or use themes from other common puzzles that are easily recognizable to somebody who solves lots of puzzles. Others are just impossibly difficult to solve without having seen them before. It just isn't reasonable to assume that anybody could guess the obscure answer out of the blue. This one strikes the perfect balance. It presents a challenge but, it should be possible for anybody who actually spends the time to work it out on paper.
Before I watch the end, I'm going to guess that the answer to the last riddle is 8, 3, and 3. The two younger ones are twins.
I arrived at this answer by thinking 1) obviously we can limit the possible answers by factoring out 72, and finding all the possible combinations of 3 ages. 2) The answer will have the same some as at least one of the others, otherwise it would have been possible to answer the riddle with the second clue.
6, 6, and 3 along with 8, 3, and 3 both add up to 14, so the number of the house across the street is 14.
The third clue eliminates 6, 6, and 3 because in that scenario there is no eldest. The answer must be 8, 3, and 3.
I'm gonna watch the rest of the video to see if I'm right!
I did it! But I did use a pencil and paper. HAHAHA!
totally didn't cheat
3-3-8 were the numbers i thought of!
I got 9, 4 and 2
Before he said that
me too i got all 3 and im 14
+sai sritharan no you did not
+Xavi Goodman how do you know?
This is awesome
Haha! I got the daughter riddle right! Not by his process, it was more of a "Well, people don't give babies chocolate, so let's go with three small numbers." So 3, 3, and 8 were the numbers I came up with. Lol, I did *not* do it right.
Can someone explain to me the candle thing? haha
+Fernand Alejandrino basically, before the guy closes the window 3 of the 10 candles have gone out due to the wind. During the course of the entire night the other 7 remain lit and burn down leaving you with only the three candles that got blown out left intact.
3 candles were blown out so they can't burn anymore so they will stay 3 candles the other 7 stayed lit so now they melt into piles of wax so you only have 3 candles left over
You have a three by three by three hole in the ground, how much dirt is in it? None its a hole
What if I put dirt in the hole?
+ApricotPit02 XD the hole gets smaller
You didnt let me guess
@@truscorpio13 - "What if I put dirt in the hole?"... then it is no longer a hole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
he's buying house numbers, 3 candles, 9 of what was candles, 3,3,and 8 that last one took me a while
I couldn't work out the 3rd riddle because I suck at math but I was convinced that the guy from the 3rd riddle was the one who bought the house numbers.
second one came from professor layton curious village
Layton stole its riddles from older sources
they just threw in that second riddle because the others were complete bs lmao
XD
at least the first one is *possible* without knowing the house number in the third one (which he didn't say until he gave the answer)
+Bob Wilson you don't need the house number to figure it out...
I mean, I got all 3, no problems.
******SPOILERS***********
Number Placards @ 203. Got the candles one too but forgot to pause.
If you prime factorize 72 you can figure out all possible ways to break it into a product of 3 numbers, you find only two of those combinations that have the same sum: 6, 6 and 2; and also 8, 3 and 3 both add to 14. So the number across the street is 14, which leaves two possibilities, knowing there is an eldest (singular) daughter tells us it's 8, 3 and 3 years old. @ 6:02.
The chocolate doesn't matter, so it's ok if I take it.
well the last one reminds me of the Logic Riddle "Cheryls Birthday" and that one is really fun to do and even pull off as a scene

You Dont Need To Know This seems like it got us both to click on the video
One of twins is almost always the elder.
Also, they don't have to be twins. Oldest daughter can be born in January, second daughter can be born in November. They are both 6.
I might have seen this years ago I honestly don't remember but for the last riddle I had the gist of it after some thought I just didn't bother writing every possible product to find the exact answer but I knew what the clues represented.
I see you hiding that Founders All Day IPA.... good stuff!!!!
i stoped the video and i actualy wrote all the posibilitis down on paper :)) i came up with all the posibilitis and i haven't made the conection with the house number ... and i came up with the most posible solutions in my oppinion which were (8x3x3 , 6x6x2, 9x4x2) basically that cuz they have to be around 2 years apart ... i eliminated the 6x6x2 for the same reason Brian said (the eldest chocolate thing) ... and i actualy went on the 50/50 chanses and chose the 9x4x2 :))))))))) (for the reason that the twince sisters/brothers are less likely then the normal birth children) .... FAILED :( .... good readel ... :))) should've paied more attention :))
imthefirstwally valiant effort!
I GOT THE LAST ONE RIGHT!! See, I knew I was a genius. Ya just gotta keep that guessing instinct active.
I only damn well got the 3rd one. Damn...I am so pumped for myself. I definitely paused, I definitely sat for a while with some mental jogging and a calculator, it would have made for bad TV, but I damn well got it. Hell yeah!
I very quickly got the fact that there had to be 2 number sets that add up to the same number, 1 of which had to have a tie in the higher number ... but for some reason I kept missing 2-6-6 as an option until I just sat down and started plotting every solution. After it was obvious that 72 didn't divide by 16 or 25...I stopped trying squares higher than 9. That hung me up for a while.
*Gets them all wrong*
Uhh... fuck these riddles anyway
Figured out the first one in about 5 seconds
Well done smarty pants✔️✔️✔️
same
same
I knew of that riddle already
Yeah, it's an oldie, that's for sure. Mindtrap taught me that one.
love watching people explain stuff they have no idea about. brian, what was the house number all about?:)
I just figured out all of them :) Actually knew first and third ones, already.
ok i have three riddles for you guys
John & Emily have 20 dollars to go to the school dance all together, to get in is only $5, but yet they both cant go why not?
A:because there fish
Luke is sleeping in his house late one morning and all the sudden a train goes by. Afterwards Luke is dead on the ground with glass surrounding him. How is this possible?
A: Because he's a fish
Diego is sitting watching the seals when all the sudden he gets thrown in. He's getting eaten alive and nobody does anything, why is this?
A: Because he's a ginger
you took that from theodd1sout
Oh, did HE say that? Could you give me a link please?
+Cameron Pearce I can't give you a link right now because I'm using a tablet
Nathaniel Voegele Come back later then.
+Cameron Pearce just search on RUclips theodd1sout stupid riddles
OMG I GUESSED THE LAST ONE NO JOKE SERIOUSLY :D
There were only 12 possible answers, which means that every one in twelve people who guess the answer would be correct. At the time that I'm making this comment, there have been 788,523 on this video.
788,523/12 = 6571
That means that if EVERYONE guessed the answer, then around 6571 would have gotten it right.
So, good on you for guessing the answer correctly, but it's not that much of an achievement.
+Cameron Pearce Incorrect. Out of all those people there is an astronomically low chance that every single one guessed 3-3-8. Just because he guessed 3-3-8, doesnt mean I have to guess any other combination except 3-3-8 nor do all those people.
DA BODEH No, I didn't say that everyone would guess 3-3-8. I said that if everyone guessed at random, then a twelfth of them would get it right, seeing as there are only twelve answers to choose from.
Since there are 6571 people who could have gotten it right just by guessing, there is an extremely high chance that at least one of them (Colin D) would brag about it.
You stated that every one in twelve people that guessed would be correct and I am simply stating that this is wrong. Cameron Pearce
DA BODEH 1 in 12 is the probability, not the exact sample ratio. I don't know the exact sample size, but I can bet you that it is pretty close to what I calculated.
Reminds me of the one riddle where two people were trying to figure out this girl's birthday. She tells one the day and the other the month and gives both a list of possible dates. (May 15, 16, 19, June 17, 18, July 14, 16 August 14, 15 ,17)
The Man who knows the month says "I don't know, but I do know that the other guy doesn't know either.". To which the second guy states "I didn't know before, but I do now!". The first guy then claims "I now know as well.". Assuming no one is lying or wrong, what is the girl's Birthday?
The first two required no thought whatsoever, but I didn't stand much of a chance in regard to the last one.
The eldest daughter was 8, and her younger sisters were both 3.
+Sammy Stiffler I was right! I swear I didn't cheat!
+Sammy Stiffler well done! did you guess, or follow the same logic?
I just picked the first three numbers that came into my head.
The reason they were 3,3, and 8 was because I thought of 3 days is 72 hours so 24 x 3 = 72 | Then I just broke down 24 into 8 x 3.

Hack the system show
The first riddle really got me, the second one I figured the answer. For the 3rd one I heard a similar riddle (the product was 36) so was easy to figure it out, because I already knew how. What I don't like in the 3rd riddle is that regardless if the girls are twins or not, one of them is older than the other. Even if is just a few minutes.
Ages are "3,3, and 8 years old"?didn't watch full yet,
VladKov36 - Clash and Craft "The eldest" meant the others had to be twins?, hence my answer. Sorry im guessing as the video plays.
VladKov36 - Clash and Craft I guess "14" is a viable house number depending where you lived...and it also meant your house number was odd(dont know if that means smthn)
VladKov36 - Clash and Craft OOHOOHOHOHOHOHOOHOH I DID ITTTT!!!!HAHAHAHA
VladKov36 - Clash and Craft lol...:P
VladKov36 - Clash and Craft Im at that point where im talking to myself on the internet :(
Yeah..
The last one is totally wrong (which also makes it stupid) as from all twins one is always elder and one is always younger. They don't actually birth at the same time.. Never! So the last hint really is meaningless.
Jukka-Pekka Tuominen Aw, don't go raging at a riddle; you'll just look silly. Get back over here to the bar with me and have another beer.
Scam School But the other two riddles were so nice and perfect and then the last one has a huge hole in its logic. I just think it's so sad.
Jukka-Pekka Tuominen even though the twins have slightly different ages, the mathemetician ask of the CURRENT age of them, which means that age difference doesn't affect the ecuation since they have SPECIFIED ages.
ElectronicAtom _ Yes. But according to the story the mathematician knows that 2-6-6 is incorrect because "the older one likes chocolate". That is true with 2-6-6 and with 3-3-8. I also happen to know some sets of twins. In one the older one has blond hair. Does that somehow explain anything?
Jukka-Pekka Tuominen You happen to know some twins, I happen to be a twin. In our situation we usually tell people that we're the same age, but we also ad the fun little fact that I'm 14 minutes older than him. That's why I feel like the 3-3-8 solution makes more sence, but I see what you mean and I allow you to have your own opinion:)
Jason looks hammered in this lol.
This video has my favorite domain.com ad. Primo stuff fam
I got as far as Brian and just guess 3, 3 and 8 without any reasoning to back it up.
It's a good riddle.
EVERYONE LOVES CHOCOLATE! that's why they're all 24, kind a tricky indeed
+Floris Hazewinkel product is multiplying not adding
I got the last riddle with a pencil and paper. I think all the numberphile I've been watching has done me some good with the math riddles. Clever how the information after the first clue seems so useless at first.
God, some OG Jason action... loving it
i have those same button ups that Brian is wearing, lol
I actually guessed 3-3-8 but did not think of the fact that the mathematician knew what the number of the house across the street was.
I GOT IT RIGHT I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED
I found the third to be the easiest. The first two require abstract thinking, but the third one is pretty straightforward and very similar to most of the math logic puzzles that circulate.
Honestly, as someone who never set foot in a hardware store, I somehow got the first one. For the second one, I wasn't paying attention and misunderstood the question, but somehow got the answer. The third one, I was looking for the cubed root of 72 because every girl loves chocolate.
I actually new the final answer immediately LOL
I just saw how fast they did it and now I know how brian felt lol
The first 2 riddles were easy enough, but I could have solved with pen and paper.
Thanks ;)
Woot. Got all 3.
1. Numbers for an address.
2. I don't understand the question.
3. 1, 8, 9
I wonder how Brian reacts to people staring at him as he shouts things at the cameraman.
Haha That last one is a famous puzzle. The really important bit is the impossible/possible distinction. You end up with multiple 'possibilities', and if we didn't know that it MUST have an answer after the third clue, it wouldn't be solvable.
