every scam nation fan ever about Josie:
"we will watch your career with great interest"
The day Josie is old enough to drink in a bar Brian be like "So... about those 500 drinks you owe me"
if the plandemic is over by then
Brian: **teaches Josie tricks to score free drinks in bars**
Josie: **scores free drinks in bars**
Brian: "hol up"
You don't need to know magic trkcks to score free drinks as a woman. I mean... give a few years, but the point stands.
I love Jollibee!
@@turiqjahal2566 what?
@@testid5460 if that happens, it will happen only when she is in the age range. What about when she's over 35 for example.
@@testid5460 she isn't that type of person and she seems more like a chill and responsible girl. As you see she is always worried when her dad brings something out its just her
Josie will fool Penn & Teller, mark my words.
Your words will get 10marks from me
I'll toss a mark in for good measure
I love the way you are teaching your daughter takes your direction and makes it her own. An amazing parent moment. Your daughter is an amazing person.
Josie and Brian walks Into a bar, everybody leaves because nobody has money enough to pay for 3 people all night.
She was on the right track with thinking that you need to temporarily stash one out of the way, in the "waiting room", that's the only way to get one in a position so that the second-last piece can create a "horn" and still touch two coins.
i think we arent even coming here to learn anymore we just want to watch your daughter be a comedian!
Funny story... I was following Brushwood's content like 9 or 10 years ago; I loved it, then things happened, no computer, no internet, me changing youtube account etc... and then saw him on P&T fool us. I thought Wow, he came far, and now recently found his stuff again, as well as modern rogue. Love the content Brian!!!!
The smartest move is to take all the quarters at the end.
If you did it with dollar or euro coins (or 2 euro coins) you could say, "each of us puts down 3 coins, and if you can get it, then you keep the coins, if you give up, then I keep the coins.".
@@mattwinward3168 thats a good twist on it.
@@mattwinward3168 in Canada where we have a $1 and $2 coins and over in Europe where you have €1 and €2 coins this trick has a potentially high for what it is value of $/€ 6/12. However in the US the largest coin they use is the quarter, so it's worth $1.50.
It's a rather enticing looking bet with the right wording.
And if they win you offer them another harder one with a drink on the line. In the end you'll probably gotten out on top. Especially with $/€ 1 coins.
The way he is patiently and with joy explains the tricks to Joise is very wholesome.
The magic is great but I'm here for the wholesome dad/ daughter relationship
"Scamstress" in training! Love the videos. Very fun.
I actually paused and took 15 minutes trying, and ended up with a different solution
Same here - Also ended up with a different solution. I wonder how many solutions are there?

@Jon alber I got that one as well. It kinda helped that I left before he said 4 moves, so I could get a feel for it first
@@jonathanalber4107 yep that's the one! Good job being able to put it in "comment" form!
@@Sqwince23 there's probably a mathematical paper on the subject. Might wanna contact Matt Parker, James Grime, or Numberphile.
Your daughter is awesome. She will always remember these videos with her dad. Cherish these moments!
This is a classic! I remember this from when I was a kid! First trick I learnt and won my first 10 bucks from and my gateway into magic/puzzles etc.
@El Gusto I was taught never to tell a lie so yes, yes I did...no, of course I didn't! I was a kid who felt like a millionaire, I brought a Barbie doll and some candy. XD
The smartest move is to redo all you videos with you kid. Brian my hat goes off to you. Its the people that you do the show with that make it. The content is always a winner, even if I've seen it before.
There's also the 4 coin puzzle where they go from the rhombus to the line with rules similar to this. I think it was one of the first Scamschool episodes ever.
Yeah, this reminded me of that! I've frustrated so many people with that one 😂
I love the fact that Scam School/Scam Nation has grown with me over the years.
10 yrs ago - LETS SCAM CHICKS FOR FREE DRINKS AT THE BAR!
Now - LETS SHOW MY DAUGHTER HOW TO DO MAGIC SO SHE DOESN'T GET SCAMMED AT THE BAR!
"your goal is to get somebody so frustrated that they eventually give up" 4:28
I learned this one when I was REALLY young. In general I love coin tricks because they're often the most physically accessible, so you can teach them to drunk people and kids without much effort, and they can do it for their friends later. More than once I've shown people a trick, then a pretty lady asked me about it, and I taught her how to do it on her friends in the corner--and coin tricks are far easier to pass on than anything else. And they'll be able to do it later without you, all they need is coins.
A lot of these sorts of geometric problems are easier to solve in reverse. Frequently the problems are constructed such that the last move is obvious when you get there, but the set up for the last move requires something tricky. In this case the tricky part if getting the "scooped out" shape. If you work in reverse, that shape is much more intuitive, which is the same as the last move in the forward solution being obvious.
The other part to working in reverse is that the rules invert as well. Instead of a constraint on where to put pieces, you have a constraint on which pieces you can choose. You cannot move a coin unless it is touching fewer than two other coins.q
This rule also gives you an easier way to gauge the efficacy of any single move, with some implied constraints. If you move a coin in such a way that it leaves an isolated coin, you know you can't move the isolated coin again without additional moves to bring it back into play. Not an efficient choice. You also want each move to leave as few single contact coins as possible (coins which are touching only one other coin), since such a move would reduce the number of next possible moves.
Take the circle, we can move any coin, and because the shape is symmetrical, all coins are equal. However, not each placement of the moved coin is equal. If we move it to one of the outside spots on the other side of the circle, we leave two single contact coins on the edges. Instead we should move it to one of the adjacent outside spots. And now we have our "scooped out" shape, shown at 5:09, or the mirror of this shape which is also valid.
From here, using our inverted rule and the implied constraints due to that rule, it is much easier to finish the triangle. Just remember the moves you made on the reverse puzzle, then deconstruct your triangle back into a circle to solve the challenge.
1:27 Oh my, you are messing with RUclips lawyers Brian!
hii mr brian i watched your shows on national geographic you are awesome i didnt find anyone to be a genius like you sir
This one is great. I paused it and grabbed 6 quarters and couldn't figure it out. Yet so simple!!
I found a different solution that takes a few more moves: You can slowly build the circle by having a smaller triangle made of 3 coins. You take 1 of the 3 coins/corners of the triangle, move it around on the other side, take the other one, etc, until the coins get in their proper position for the circle
I thought his shirt said "Anteater" at first.
I have 3 daughters all about Josie's age and they love these videos. We paused it, and it took me longer than it should have, but I got there... now to go annoy my kids with the solution! mwah, ha ha :)
Brian brushwood I’ve been watching you since 2010, when you did scam school video podcasts glad your doing great, I remember you doing this in one of your early videos
I like that with every new video, Josie keeps getting more and more sassy
Getting access 1st thru Discord!!! GIVE JOSIE HER OWN SHOW!!
So, I successfully did this puzzle twice in the span of 3 minutes, and I completely forgot how I did it each time. All I know is that they were both more than 4 moves. Great puzzle, Brian!
The videos with Josie are fun. You can tell Brian is enjoying hanging out with his daughter.
(Spoiler)
Alternate solution: (easier to remember, I think)
build the pyramid with a side (not point) facing you. Label them 1 at the tip; 2 and 3 as the second row; 4,5,6 as the third row.
1: move coin #2 to below coins 4 and 5.
2: move coin #3 to below coins 5 and 6. (you should have a "w" of coins, with coin 1 being all lonely.
3: move coin #5 to between coins 1 and 4.
4: slide coin #1 to touch coins 4 and 5, completing the circle.
Also worth noting that you never move the same coin twice.
I had to start with a circle, record myself turning it into a triangle, then learn off Tenet inverse me by playing the footage backwards.
that's the easiest way to get a solution. better than just aimlessly poking around
What about the same set up, but moving only 3 quarters to make the arrow point the opposite direction? Love doing that one for the kids
Hey Brian, you should make a video on the Green Glass Door word game with your daughter. It might be cool to see
From the day she is old enough to drink, she will never have to pay for a drink in her life!
This guys daughter is never gonna have to pay for drinks at the bar.
BTW, I think you meant to say that the Quarters can only move in TWO dimensions over the surface of the table (not ONE dimension, which would be a straight line).
There's at least two other answers. This is pretty cool!
That was such a perfect closer! Josie picked it up so quick, and it was worth it for the drink; high 5 in this situation. Patiently waiting for my Mystery Box Jacob. 😉
There is more than one solution which makes it even more frustrating.
@scam nation. There appears to be an alternate solution for this, at least as the rules are described. There is a requirement that you /place/ next to two coins, but not that all coins touch at least two other coins after each move. To ensure your sequence is the only one, I think you need to add a "no isolated coins" requirement (all coins must touch at least one other after each move). Otherwise the following setup works.
there are 8 positions that matter, each of the initial coin positions is 1-6 in order.
1
2 3
4 5 6
then the space below touching 4/5 and 5/6 are positions 7 and 8 that we will use.
1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8
2 to 7, 3 to 8, 5 to 2, 1 to 3 is a four move sequence that follows all the rules by utilizing the isolated 1 along with four to both hollow out the new center and establish the 5th part of the ring, then 1 finishes as in your example.
Can also be done with 3 moves
You can also take two side pieces and put them pekoe a row of three then take middle atach to side and top then top to that and side
I remember this from a very older episode, good times.
I actually solved it a different way!
Looking at the 'pyramid' (triangle): take the 2nd row, and put it under the 3rd rows (aka the long row). This takes 2 moves, and leaves us with a row of 1, an 'empty' row, a row of 3, and then a row of 2
Now we can take the middle one from the row of 3 and put it where 1 of the 2 we just moved was. Next, just put the top where the other was.
That's it.
Josie is the best. Great addition to the channel.
good puzzle, thanks.
Not related to this vid, but i was watching an older penn and teller fool us act and the guy did a card trick you had someone show recently on scam nation. As soon as he started spelling out color, and flipping the card i remembered the trick. First time knowing the how of the whole trick from the start.
Doesnt the second to last move create a contradiction as the one coin is only touching one other coin?
She reminds me of Stevie from Good Mythical Morning 😊
Finally, one that i could figure out.
really impressive actually i use these tricks top get treat from my friend as i am not of 18 and i don't like to drink champagne or any kinda alcoholic drinks.
Smart girl she remembered even the words lol 👍
Discord, YAH! Also learned this years back, glad to see the comeback
OH MY GOD DRESSPANTS ROBOTMAN IS STILL HOLDING THE C.H.I.L.D HEAD BRANDT PUT THERE the discord gang will know
A similar puzzle was once featured in numberphile
Yes I think an episode featuring James Grimes.
Is that a red Rogue's Arena?
Scam Nation is so much better with a smart kid.
That's a pretty cool coin puzzle!
I think she just threw the box away rather than thinking outside it
I did it slightly differently.. still cool!
----
Spoilers/solution follows:
----
So, the generic solution is to start with the pyramid inverted -- 3 Qs in the top row, 2 in the middle row, and 1 at the bottom (row).
Designate the top left Q as the "handle" of the yet to be made "scoop".
Now move (independently) the other 2 Qs from the top row to the right side of the bottom 2 rows, i.e., adding one Q to the right side of each of the bottom two rows to form the "scoop".
Once the "scoop" is formed, scoop out the Q in middle of the "scoop", and move it to the right side of the "handle".
Finally, move the "handle" Q to close the circle.
Can you teach "finally matched trick" performed by Andy fields
I see several ways to do it 5, but can't do it in 4
Who misses the ol Brushwood spikes?
ah so when u move 1 it has to touch 2.
he said nothing about leaving a coin to touch only 1.
i knew the trick before. but him leaving that info out confused me :D i knew this trick from lower school tho
Very nice 👍
After the second move one coin in touching only one.
What are tweeners?
When did Josie acquire science?
I did it a different way but still ended up with 4 moves
She is your daughter, Brian. Lol.
show Josie Matchbox Monte or the Three Coin Trick(where every coin has to match the middle coin) next
2:20 she managed to that point but failed to see that coin shouldnt go in there.
Hah i got a different route but the same result with 4 turns. Nice Challange
REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY PLAY OUT ❤️❤️❤️
My son(handsome and articulate) is looking.
How much is the dowery offer?
Why wouldn’t you just do it in 2 moves? Just take the middle coin, at the base of the pyramid, move it in line with the circle around it’s own gap that it left, then just take the top of the pyramid and complete the entire circle.
Oh, my bad. I went back and paid closer attention to the rules 1:12 😉
discord. discord! Discord. Discord! DISCORD. DISCORD!
big brain.
Is she his daughter?
I did this and got it first try with a different solution
huh, my solution was actually different!
Me: I try after minute I got it.
Others: Easy
Free drinks for a 12 year old ?
Something is wrong with that picture.
:D
i think there's no need for four moves you could do it in threethere's no need for four moves😁
a good dad would hook his daughter up with her own youtube channel. theres loopholes..
How about the mind reading trick, using a ten? and pointing
I love these video's but this one wsnt that hard right? First try i did it in 5 moves by using a center coin first. Second try i did the same as the first but really paid attention to the shapes to figure out how to drop a move, third time i got it. You would owe me a drink mr Brushwood :P
i managed to solve it once, and promptly forget how i arrived at the result... then spent another 15 minutes just trying to figure out how i did it...
I got a different solution. (second try I might add! so proud)
Took me about 3 minutes to solve (paused the video after the rules were explained)
i managed to figure it out so i can take pride in the fact i am smarter than a teen girl... my wife will be so proud.
You can do it in 2 moves
i did this in less than 20 seconds.
I think I can do it in three moves
I got it first try babay!
