"You can stand on the beams and just walk across in the middle... while that's true to some degree... the problem here is that you'll get shot." Truer words have never been spoken. If you upset the VIPs with a boring game, heads will roll.
Yeah people don't seem to get that. Its about the VIPs entertainment. The equality speech was BS.
@@ASageCalledQ equality is important because the vips are betting on players
@@xxxLUKRASsxxx The person that went first and the person that went last did not have equal chances in this game. They created scenarios earlier to eliminate weaker players. Entertainment value > anything.
@@ASageCalledQ the person that went first and last had equal oppurtunity of picking whichever number they wanted
@@VanLianTheOne I said in the game. Its possible if you had a high enough number not to have to choose at all. Which is what happened.

For the tug of war strategy, it's actually how professional players do it. There are 2 problems with the test:
1. The players lie back and stay in position FIRST before it starts, and you don't just lie down, you hold on to it with ALL your strength.
2. It works because of the surface, grass has NO friction whatsoever, not sure how cement affects it but professional games are played on rubber-like surfaces
But to your credit the actors in the show didn't bend low enough. Professional players go WAY lower from what I've seen. So yes, it probably wouldn't work either way
Exactly! The 1st one you said annoys me so much, we need a redo
No. 2 is solved when he showed the Korean RUclipsr doing it on Concrete. However rope is probably too short
I do wonder if the "shock pull" like thing that we see the actors do in the show does work in real life too. I mean, I would most likely be surprised when I suddenly felt the rope getting loose and then stiff again, which might make me loose focus on pulling
@@Danspy501st if you can makr the enemy team trip, you definitely have a massively improved chance to win. someone lieing on the floor holding the rope won't be able to put the same force into it as someone having a decent stance
I tried it on grass and it works. You need good footing.
24:47 Glass usually shatters because there is already a microscopic crack in it and an external force causes the crack to spread.
I'm not a glass maker, but I think deliberately making a flaw like this in the glass is possible.
Or they could use breakaway glass that is used in movies and shatter them manually when they step on the wrong one.
Breakaway is not made of actual glass, but sugar glass. I doubt it would hold up a human to the point where the game master would have to shatter it manually.
@@MorgMorgWhe never said it was made from actual glass lmao
@@aitorleal4676 he said they could use breakaway glass. As I explained, breakaway glass is a sugar glass that wouldn't hold a human up.
It really doesnt need to be microscopic cracks it just needs to be scored on the bottom and as soon as enough pressure lands on top it will break. This is literally how to cut glass.
Your right man I'm glad to see someone with knowledge here
The problem with the tug of war strategy is it relies heavily on traction, and you're not going to get that on grass. If you notice when they went down all of them were sliding. Compare that to the experiment on concrete where they just slowly stumbled forward. Not doubting that the results would be the same, but voicing my concern for the method.
Exactly ... this "tug of war" experiment ... it's worthless! V_V
Also the rope was way to short for them to properly lean back and there was not enough space for them to do the step forward strategy
The results definitely would have been different. The fact that it was on grass like you said effected it heavily, but also the shoes did as well because the shoes they wear on the shoe had a good amount of traction
They showed a Korean RUclipsr who tested it on concrete
Exactly. The strategy uses traction and weight to counter the opponents strength. Doing it in grass and with a rope that short you're definitely not going to get those benefits
one thing thats been HEAVILY implied is that any strategy you implement is allowed. the only things against the rules are anything that explicitly say and collaborating with the employees (because the employees were already told to not work with them)
there was no rule against smuggling in supplies, people just assumed such a feat was impossible. thats why noone got in trouble for smuggling stuff like a knife or a lighter. this is super important because you have to utilize everything they DONT mention
But didn't they at least look down on Deoksu for being found with a knife after one of the brawls?
@@FloralCelestiality what does being "looked down on" gonna accomplish?
@@Wonton-the-Sea-Snail That's very true. Just felt like pointing it out anyway even if your point is more valid
They did take the knife when they found it, and they want to keep thing equal, having different tools to use would not be considered equal
I was thinking about this, so just running across on the support beams in between the glasses shouldn't get you shot because there is no rule against it
another strategy for the first game that most people missed, is that the head turns counter clockwise, so staying on the right side of the course gives you more time as the head is turning away from you.
True, but you would have to either run to the other side or start on it with luck. It would probably give like 1 more second, so not very effective
I feel like this would require you to perfectly time when the sensors are no longer able to see you. I personally wouldnt risk it i might stay on the right simply becasue it might save me incase i was a second to slow to stop or accidently moved a second too fast but i wouldnt bet on it as my strategy.
@@b1uefalc0n50 I say it more because of extra safety not extra time to walk, it's slightly giving you more time to stop moving then time to keep moving
Meanwhile the detection software isn't actually working until the head turns and the head turn is just visual for the game and has nothing to do with how it actually works.
Admittedly, due to the weird translation in English, you wouldn't know this, but in the original Korean version, there's a rhythm to Red Light, Green Light. Because she goes through a little song during the Green Light Phase, you can time your steps to that, which is what Il Nam was doing.
I like your strategies in the video but I just want to point out in the first game is that in the original squid game, instead of "red light, green light", the doll actually said "mugunghwa kkochi pieot seumnida" (which is like counting from 1 to 10) so the players could anticipate when the doll is going to turn around, so i think a good strategy is to sprint in the first few seconds and then quickly slow down and use your strategy to stabilize when the doll turn around. (Obviously the best one is to avoid being in debt and avoid playing the game)
(Sorry for my bad English)
Really good insight! Thanks!
Nuh uh, the original Korean game talks about a flower not counting from 1-10
@@takoslayed they meant that you would know when the phrase ends, so it would be like a countdown.
@@takoslayed I have never seen someone type ''Nuh uh''
@@gwblueberry did I ask?
After the glass game, and the three main characters reached the end, all of the glass got shot or exploded. So my theory is that even if they didn't break... They would break the glass manually anyway.
That's literally what I thought
and even then, if you just start casually running across the panels, who's saying they won't just shoot you right then and there because you're cheating?
@@jonasgrill1155 because cheating is allowed in squid game thats why 456 didnt got shot when he licked the sugar
@@thi. if cheating is allowed, just run across the metal beams, it's the easiest method.
@@jonasgrill1155 yep they never said that you arent allowed to do that
For the following strategy in Red Light Green Light, you also have to worry about the person you’re following messing up and getting shot cause the bullets could go through their body and hit you too
@@odoaiden3525 we see multiple shots during the game where the bullets clearly go through the person, forming an exit wound. whatever bullets they’re using DO shoot straight through
But the guns were all around the stadium. I guess you could be positioned at the edge or very middle to mitigate the risks, but at the start of the game, the players didn't even know that bullets would be used to eliminate people.
@@odoaiden3525 This is just completely wrong. It varies by caliber, of course, but in general humans are NOT bulletproof and human shields do NOT work. All of the crap you see in hollywood is just that... entertaining crap. Also not for nothing but the bullets fired in the show are from high powered weapons... not squirrel shooters. Do not stand behind someone. You will die.
@@odoaiden3525 that's just straight up false. Maybe smaller calibers like 45 or 9mm but from what I can see in the show, it's either some form of rifle round or it's possibly 7.62 and those can easily shoot straight through you if shot in the right place. Same can be said about 9mm actually. It's all about bones and whether or not you hit them, if you're hit skin and a little bit of muscle, that'll be torn apart and you'll see that bullet flying away to where ever it decides to go
I think the glass panels one isn't really possible still because at the end of the timer, all the panels shatter/explode, meaning the game masters probably have control over making each individual panel break. They could just as easily smash a panel remotely if they're not MEANT to stand on it.
The explosions at the end are tied to the timer and there is no data about if they can explode them individually
The timer is digital, so I'd say they'd all be hooked up to a computer, which would mean it's just a mater of programming and wiring set-up.
With the glass, they would have been triggered to break even if the glass didnt break when jumped accross. We saw all the glass at the end get blown up. I believe if the glass didnt initially break they would have triggered that glass panel to break
good point. Wasn't there actually a few times where a player would stand for a second and everyone would be hyped and then they fell down? Supposedly that was the weight and not a trigger, but in either case it seemed like if you were fast but still lightfooted (as shown in this video) maybe you could actually be onto the next one before falling.
@@Guitarra_Electrica well, no, he full on runs. it seemed like from this video of you step on it carefully it won't crack, so if you can be careful and swift. i think there's a character that stands for like a second before falling, so you might have time if you're hitting the glass hard
@@Guitarra_Electrica Yeah I'm aware the situation isnt 1 to 1. I don't actually think there is any way to cheat it, cause theyd probably punish you even if you did find a way. It's just speculation for the fun of it
@@julieismeok if you make it across you succeed, that’s pretty explicitly stated
@@julieismeok that would actually be more interesting. They should've include that as a strategy to the show. That maybe 1 person was light and quick enough to go through without breaking any glass, and the one right after falls even though he followed the exact step, revealing that the annealed glass can sometimes support the weight and not break, which probably makes the game more difficult. Because if I'm not wrong they have exactly about the same number of contestant to half the number of glass panels in tota, which means the last person is going to be lucky if everyone in front is always falling through.

Dude stop
I like the kneeling strategy. The original Korean dub of Squid Game actually makes the first game easier, as the robot sings the exact same song before turning around. So you can take the knee right before the song ends each time.
I feel like the challenge of the final game was the fact that both players had knives. That heavily weighs things in the defender's favor.
For the sound test of tempered glass, because of the internal stresses the pitch on various locations of the glass should be different, meaning the first one you dropped the marble on is tempered
Yup....if you hear carefully you can definitely hear two different pitched sounds
I could easily tell
Well am not you
Yeah on tempered it was 2 different sounds. The regular it was the same sound twice. And his weight test is pointless because people are jumping on it it's a different force coming down making your weight heavier.
Edit: he finally showed the jump.
The first time I listened I didn't know what I was looking (hearing?) for so I didn't hear a difference, I thought it would be a difference in the sound of when it bounces. After thinking about it I realised it would be a difference between the first time he drops it and the second time, and then I could hear it clearly. Though it becomes most obvious when he goes to the second glass and both drops sound exactly the same.
For the red light green light.. just get to the wall. Super easy to move quickly and stop quickly with the stability of a wall. Helps against other players knocking you over and shit too
Actually! The easiest way to not have to go through all that hassle and skip right to the end, is to die, if we are playing by the actual squid game rules, we would have died no matter what and my logic is “we don’t have plot armor” DUH!
@@itskaiks3469 Either you're lying or you don't look both ways before crossing the street.
@@Stillfastasf no theyre just looking at it from hindsight of knowing the end, which a contestant doesn't know.
@@itskaiks3469 ikr, if you didn't die in a game, you could've died to someone in the resting area over food or just because...
Because I worked with glass for a summer even just during the first watch of the glass-bridge game I could tell nearly every single tempered glass. Just like the old man did, only you don't need to lay down to see the reflection, one is slightly tinted and foggier than the other which is how the glazier could see the difference.
red light green light is actually easier than it seems because the length of the song never changes, she never stops early or sings it faster, so if you get the timing down you can easily clear it
I know I'm year late to this comment, apologies 😂 In some versions, like the one that aired in Australia, she doesn't sing - it's completely silent and then she'll just yell out "red light!". It gave it such a different feel.
Also a year late, but the chant gets faster each time!
@@blobfish. NAAAA REALLY!!!!!??? Bruh that's terrifying. I feel like every country has such a different interpretation of that scene lmao.
@@blobfish. haha yeah I'm late too but yup, in Finland also we have this version where nothing is being said, the person just turns at any moment and whoever she/he sees moving, has to go to the beginning.

@@wolfiegames1572 the tactic still works tho people actually use it

11:00 the bottleneck here is the ground. You're on the grass, which has little to no traction. In squid game they were on a regular, high traction ground

@@bananafone1414 in the show, it was rubber, which has a higher traction than concrete.

This is a perfect example of situational stress being a factor. The famous Hudson river incident was the best real world example of where when you can recreate a situation with 0 stress and prove someone could do it easier / quicker. The problem is when you *know* what is going to happen and with minimal stress from consequences, things are way way easier.

@@Makana535 🤨🎓🎓🎓🧢🧢🧢🧢
@@Makana535 yeah, definitely not.
Actual tug of war strategy is to move your pull in unison to pull. If you pay attention in the show they actually do this.
There's also other things they didnt show like you heaviest person should be at the back and wrap the rope.
Also, the grass will be a big factor. The difference between a gym floor, concrete, or grass will always affect the grip you have (On the concrete it looked more like people couldn't hold the position instead of their feet slipping and making it impossible like on grass). It still can be overpowered, and you'd need extreme coordination, but a lot of the strategy does seem to be based on how you maximise grip and pull of your team.
that's cheating if you wrap the rope around yourself dude
@@thefroog2783 was that in the rules, or are you pulling that out of nowhere. If it's not stated, it's fair game.
@@shadowsnake5133 It's literally in the official Tug of War Rules
@@shadowsnake5133 it wasnt in the rules but they didnt do that
when you're doing the dalgona, the sucess actually depends on the dalgona than the skills or strategy while breaking them. If you get a dalgona with deep marking, then you can just complete the game within seconds without getting shot. But if you get one with a shallow marking, you are more likely to fail, unless you are a wiz in both luck and skill.
with the glass bridge you have to remember that the players were jumping on to the panels, so gently putting weight on the panels isnt the same
The length of the average dead guy is still a better unit than inches
We should use "average dead guy mass" instead of whatever the hell a slug (unit) is.
Of course
I'll do you one better, we should use the amount of blood in an average person to measure the displacement of objects
LMAOOO
And infinitely better than stupid meters, millimeters and centimeters lol. Now how do we replace Celsius with a dead guy also?
First, when it comes to the glass test there was a flaw, you supported the glass on three sides, this makes the glass stronger overall meaning it was not the same, in squid game it was only supported on 2 sides, giving it a massive weakness in the center, second they never stated that the glass was annealed, they simply said it wasn't tempered meaning they could have gotten sugar glass or some other weak substitute to make it break
I'm pretty sure the tempered glass would still hold just fine. Those are thick pieces of glass. Look at how much effort it takes to bust through even a car side window. People drown because they can't even come close to breaking them when trying with all of their might, even in full on adrenaline fight or flight strength boost mode. That's why they sell those specialty emergency glass breaking hammers, because you have to apply that force in a specific way to break it. And that's just 1/4 inch thick tempered glass. That slab of glass he was jumping around on is probably thick enough to build glass _floors_ with. Maybe not _an up to code_ glass floor, but building codes usually require stuff to be overbuilt to accommodate for the occasional horse or average American tourist walking across it :P
@@Kevin-jb2pv my point isn't the tempered it's the non tempered, tempered is made to take hits and stay but the non tempered is just made to look good
ikr all of those measurement clips just to add extra support lol
The glass is only supported on two sides, the third side doesn’t make contact with the frame.
Thats not even the main issue, the players in the game are jumping onto the glass, not slowly laying sandbags. Its obv that the glass used in the show and the test are extremely different. But jumping onto the glass from a distance would make a slight difference overall
So, the only strategy that I have had consistent success with in tug of war is to have a cadence caller (like you would see in old row boat movies). Having everyone pull in coordinated short bursts works better than the mad scramble (you do lean so that you don't lose as much progress in between but it is all about the tempo)
"the easy part is always easy, then the hard part is hard"
So profound

The tug of war issue you're running into is one, they were on a gripped surface wearing vans which are meant to grip better. And the rope was waaaay longer, you can afford 3 steps which is enough to allow the other team to fall down. Here it was half a step maybe
@@Layer2Chimp Its a make or break because if the other team manages to you forward you have no balance to be able to recover, but if it works then they’d have overcommitted just like in the show

This definitely confirmed my suspicion that even non tempered glass would hold you. I have a shadow chest or whatever they’re called with a big slab of glass on top and I can tell you tempered or not, that is a hefty boy.

@@Kaxon Well, yes. I think you may have read my comment wrong. I just meant I’ve seen slabs of glass like that and they’re pretty strong; they’re also quite heavy.
I just assumed that they had them rigged with explosives like glass in movies.
@@JoelKalich Well I mean, you technically weren’t wrong since they blew all the panels up when the challenge ended 🤔
@@whatever56567 I'd forgotten about that! Wonder why they even bothered with the different glass types, at least they're honest I guess.
the glass one, you are right it can hold your weight while jumping, but as you also said, its likely thicker so the actors have a harder time getting hurt. so in the show, either the panels are sabotaged in some way(small crack premade in a corner or something) or they are thinner, so they are easier to break with the weight of a Korean person(or almost any person who is not a child)
Kinda late but its also supposing that the panel are actually made with ‘’normal’’ glass. If the composition is modified on those plate you could easily lower the resistance or even use glass made from sugar like in movies but then it could be discover by tasting both. Either way the thickness of the glass isnt the only important factor.
for the tug of rope thing, there were allot of differences
1:you are playing on grass which is a much less sturdy playfield than what was in the show
2: you told the other team what was gonna happen, surprise was a big part of it
the amount of anxiety i got from him going bare foot was uncalled for lol

just so you know, there isnt such thing as cheating in the games. as long as you complete the instructions (it doesnt matter how its done), youll pass the game
But when the glassmaker could tell which glass was tempered, they decided to turn off the lights because otherwise it wouldn’t be entertaining enough for the VIPs
@@ameliewitton1859 that dosn’t count as cheating, they simply just wanted to supply entertainment for the VIP’s
@@ameliewitton1859 yes but he wasnt cheating. if he was "cheating", he would be shot. the vips just got annoyed that he solved it so they made it harder.
That's not totally true.
There have been times where they tried to outsmart the game, and the vips would just rig the game or kill a player for "cheating". They don't care about you making it out alive, they want to watch an entertaining game. As someone else mentioned, that's why they shut the lights off and then for an unexplained reason, shot the glass after the last three remaining crossed, which fatally wounded a player.
If there’s no such thing as cheating, then how come they were hiding the safety pin & the lighter from the guards when they had to cut out the shapes in the cookies?? Because it was CHEATING! 🤦♂️
Respect for actually playing the squid game at the end. Feel like I’ve seen a lot of these types of videos that just ignore that one.
if I was a designer doing one of these games and I was designing the glass one, I would have tested it many times. the conclusion I would have come up with is, I probably would have it sitting on a sharp point raised just enough to crack the glass, but not enough to reveal that it is rigged. even tempered glass if you hit the edge just right will shatter. if you do a video with this in it, I would love to see it. please reply what you think.
Glad you liked the Nim strategy for marbles, this video is awesome!
Lol
In yo mamas face
sorry i had to dunk on you so hard with the dalgonas LOL
No worries, it was cool to see the practicality of each strategy being tested out
@@HowToBeatYT have a damn good day
The biggest worry for me with the glass stepping stones game is that you have to do it bare foot for a long distance over a large drop. It would be really hard to keep your feet completely dry with so much stress, so your balance would not be so easy to catch or you could simply slip when landing.
Ooo true
That’s what I said. The glass they were jumping on was 70 feet plus in the air with that and added stress there no way anyone could casually jump without breaking.
Correct me if im wrong, but my problem with your glass bridge are the contact points.
In the show each glass has 2 contact points where as your bridge has 3 contact points. The weight would be evenly distributed amongst the 3 contact points versus the 2. Wouldn't this make a difference?
Your tug of war strategy would definitely work. I'm not sure how well, for the size difference, in the show. But with 5 minutes of research you would learn that every professional tug of war team pulls with a similar method.
Yes, let's play the strategy that heavily relies on the friction between you and the ground...
...on grass.
As he said, it's been tried on concrete and it didn't work. Of course it may still be possible but there's some evidence to check out, maybe
@@edwardcallisto4485 that's not the point - this vid is meant to explore strategies based on squid game conditions, doing this on grass is utterly worthless
All you have to do is look up “tug of war championships” and you can see it’s an accurate strategy. The kids in the video didnt even do an ounce of the form presented in the movie.
@@Hoodscape sure, but realistically, you're not grouped with anyone from a tug of war championship.
Pro tug of war is actually a thing and the old man just suggests the meta defensive strategy
I do a tug competition every year for my university, The strategy in squid games is actually very valid but it didn't work like it does in the show due to you not having the rope tied to the anchor (the largest player on the team typically) Without the rope being tied to the anchor there is no constant tension on the rope so getting horizontal would be pretty much impossible. Loved the video!
10:10 You're saying you don't want the ground to make a difference, but you're doing it on grass. Holding on is much harder on grass.
Exactly
Exactly
There's another strategy I'd use with the marbles game, due to the fact you have 20 marbles. You play a game where who ever can't add marbles to the pouch loses. You can add 1, 2 or 3 marbles per turn. As long as you submit to a number that's 4 or 8, 12, 16 there is always a move that makes you able to put down the 20th marble. Meaning if your opponent starts you automatically win. If you start you'll have to just hope your opponent gets to a number that isn't the mentioned numbers
Technically you shouldn’t be failing dalgona so much. Most of the failing can depend on the dalgona maker. If the dalgona maker push the carve deep it would be pretty to win. And the dalgona maker can just screw you over and fail you by just pressing the carve very very softly.
TLDR: Dalgona maker is the ruler of them all.
it's like gambling, no matter who gets the most dosh, the house always wins.
so theoretically the host can calculate how to make the dalgona so an approximate amount of players fail
@@angelerror4086 Yeah technically but pretty sure most people would still fail even given a really good dalgona cut just because they suck.
I think it has less to do with the press and more to do with the consistency of sugar and baking soda. So basically random. The cookies sometimes break by themselves. The press seems pretty consistent if you see how the master dalgona maker does it.
@@gapsule2326 Yeah in the show (Actual production of the dalgona) They actually used master dalgona maker to make all the dalgonas lol! It's kinda cool.
The tug of war test wasnt reflective of the parameters of the show plus the volunteers using the strategy werent commiting to it. You can clearly see at least 2 people stood straight up not even leaning. As others have said aswell the rope is way to short which prevents the leaning technique aswell. Just my observations though an insightful video overall.
But it is reflective because they're just random people like the squid game contestants. You would only get one chance to get the strategy to work.
@@arandombard1197to be fair, the in-show peeps are gambling their lives away and actively trying to win
@@arandombard1197 The ones in squid game understood that losing meant death, so they were 100% committed to the only strat that would work for them because they couldn't beat the other team on strength alone.
@@arandombard1197i mean, they was just doing for fun not really committed, in the squid if you don’t fully do you are dead so its a big difference.
None of them actually had their pelvis locked, they just leaned their backs
23:00
if you jump/step/walk onto a weighing scale and see how thereading wiggles you can tell just how huge a difference movement can make
For the tug of war, there was one glaring difference (besides surface, which you show was tested by another youtuber on concrete with a similar conclusion). The difference is the scale. The length of the rope and the length the people have before the reach the chasm. I would be interested to see if the scale on a more grippy surface would make it so that the normal method runs out of gas before it can win versus the lean back method.
This is the first squid games themed video that has made me actually want to watch squid games
Yeah
Me to
You and i should do calamari games joel
@@Weisz sounds delicious
Squid game is overated but that doesent mean its a bad show, its pretty good. I cant comment in the dubs quality but the subd version is worth the time IMO.
For tug of war, I feel like everyone pulling at the same time would maximize strength per unit of time. Instead of pulling at different paces, yelling “pull” so everyone pulls at the same time would create a much greater force than what the other team could exert
Better to use a codeword so other team doesn't know when you will pull but your team does
@@cooledcannon I'm pretty sure the other team will figure it out even if you keep shouting "banana" instead of "pull"
@@jan6470 A good method would be to have everyone memorise a set of numbers. Then count 1, 2, 3 normally.
18:33 you can also see the wavy vs straight with the pipe or whatever, that’s actually so cool
Only one issue with your glass panel tests, they were supported on three sides by framing, in the show they only had 2 sides supported. thats a lot less surface area to displace the weight.
Based on my experience of tug of war, the best strategy is to perfectly time everyone's pulls. And yeah, there were games where even a team with weaker people won. So all that you need is to cooperate and scream something like "one-two" and to pull very hard at the same time. They kinda did it in the show too.
I agree with this!
@@Weisz benith
Technically if you can manage it, have all your team remember numbers or a code and only pull on the agreed number/word. Presumably if the other team knows when you are going to pull, it is countered by them counterpulling at that moment.
The tug of war was sad to watch. The guy in black immediately squatted every time, instead of actually leaning back. They didn't actually use the strategy
And the rope was so short the actual strategy didnt work
And the other team was tipped off, totally wiping out the psychological key to the strategy.
Your positive energy is extremely pleasant to watch
And thanks for the great efforts to test all of this for us!
Amazing content man! this was a video of squid game i genuinely wanted to see
The problem with the glas is the weight is being distributed equally when you walk slowly but when you jump on it the force is focused it on one spot so it will break. That is scientifically accurate.
No, as you shift you're weight to the other glass it will be experiencing more of your weight than the other one, it's more the shock of instantaneously receiving the full weight of a person than the weight distribution. Plus, if you jump with your feet spread wide apart, your weight will probably be distributed even better than walking as you're putting all of your weight on one point at the edge of the glass. The glass is probably rigged to explode either though.
Didn’t he do just that though?
@@smkurf at the end after he very carefully placed the 300lbs gently and said the movie was busted. Also, a bag of sand has more surface area than two feet, I don’t believe it would make a huge difference, but should still be noted.
@@Seth_Arvila true true
@@Seth_Arvila he did jump on it to test it though?
The tug of war strategy, they are already prepared by the time they say go to immediately throw their backs to look up to the sky. It's a lot of coordination and trust. The team that was doing it for you, didnt seem to trust each other and werent really pushing back at all. They just kept getting controlled right at the start. Even their feet werent split at the start lol. They also didn't lean NEARLY far enough back. The strategy does work, but maybe not at the "level" of the show where its like all 180 pound dudes vs old men and women lol. It's not only strategy, but coordination, trust, and skill lol.
still rowing strategy is wayyyy better than the one in the video, from pushing heavy objects to pulling i dont think anything can beat that
@@luk4s56 yeah rowing is a very solid way, because its a constant shift of momentum.
did you have to say lol 3 times
@@pipebombmailer lol, there 4 times.
I mean they also had Ali who was really strong, and Gi Hun and Sang-woo are good aswell, not too sure on the unnamed contestants, I guess Sa-byoek would do decent too. Their team overall wasn't *that* bad.
Thanks for this. I’m so exited to apply these tips to my everyday life! 😀
So, during the glass hopping game. They jump from panel to panel, sure it can withstand the 300 pounds of sand, but when we jump forward we are highly likely to land on our heels instead of flat footed, meaning that all of that weight is in that one spot on the shoe, which is like a wedge.
So in all actuality, the probability of the glass shattering could be highly likely.

Im glad someone finally called out Cinema Summary, most of the strategies given were so specific that you can't have even done it in the first place or they hardly work
I really don't think this is a callout
Ik he is so bs
The big difference between your tug of war simulation and the one in the show is that you are doing it on a slippery terrain (grass field) which makes any strategy relying on friction close to useless unless you wear cleated shoes, and they do it in gymnasium conditions, with dry and non-slip ground which makes body stability a key element to succed
What did you expect?
you can't beat dapz he's a God!
Nice name
When he was jumping from glass sheet to glass sheet you could hear a difference in the glass, the tempered sounded a lot more dull than the non tempered
This strategy wouldn’t be a good one
yeah the tempered glass was an octave below the nontempered glass
11:30 They are doing the pelvis to the sky thing waaay too slow to make any difference. They never even get to leaning back before they already lost. And even when they started leaned back they didn't "trust the pelvis", only lean. Generally poor execution on that one i would say. Pretty sure they use the tactic in actual tug of war competitions so assume it works when employed correctly
I’m so happy you put lower leg protection on before standing on the regular glass. Thank you 🙏 you ☺️
Love the umbrella switch @7:45 😂😂😂
Everytime I hear people say " you should let the people die" I remember that the entire point of squid game is that any amount of ppl can win it just changes how much money they all win.
Yeah people forget it’s not last one wins it’s whoever wins squid game(final round)
That's not true because in Tug-o-War, Marbles, and Squid one side has to inherently lose.
@@r.henryjr.1533 but isn't squid game two teams? It just happened to be 1v1 in the final round
@@r.henryjr.1533 Well to be fair it was never made clear whether a pair could pass the marbles game by simply swapping bags of marbles, both satisfying the condition to leave.
@@Marshall.R they also never said that u cant take/steal without violence the marbles of a completely different team for example all the people who were throwing there marbles on the ground just go and grab there marbles off the floor u didnt use violence u just stole which is allowed so u dont even need to compete with ur partner to win
The glass structure is built in Korea; they use the Metric system, so the glass panes definitely weren't half an inch thick. Probably something between 1 cm or 1.25 cm thick, depends on the standardized sizes.
Yeah. When I saw the "inches" thing, I knew it wouldn't be 100%. However, I'm not sure how big of an influence ir would be...
When I tell you my roommate and I were just like, "If we just keep going across the glass.. We should have the momentum where even if it breaks we can keep going.." This proves it XD Nimble feet where you land on the toes and not the heels? Oh yeah would 100% work.
The issue with landing on your toes is you increase the psi of your impact. That an as fast as you try, you wouldn't have enough push off force on falling glass to clear the gap between the glass.
So either you fall into the gap or lose so much momentum you can't continue to move fast enough if the next panel is also a pitfall trap.
I love how in the shot where he throws the sandbag on the tempered glass you can the other glass shattered with the sandbag on top of the pieces
When I was little, the tug-of-war strategy we used that kinda consistently worked was we all stagger placements. For rope placement it was under the back arm like close to your body and your lead arm out forward bent. Well the game would start and you play as normal, about 4 secs, someone starts a countdown, on 3 everyone releases there hands forcing the other team to loss balance. After maybe a sec of release you quickly try to grab the rope and lean back. Worked pretty well
22:20 in the game the contestants didn't ease their weight onto the glass ..... they jumped onto the glass from atleast 2m away .... so a 80kg man who isn't moving will weigh 80kg but if he lands on that glass at 10kph from 2m away then the impact mass of that same man will be around 155kg being loaded onto that glass in under 1 second ...... so using your legs to absorb as much of that impact should help alot to avoid stressing the glass too much
Hold on lemme translate 2m to feet. I'm guessing 5 to ten feet but idk.
...
Okay so it's like 6 feet
More like 4 feet.
8:20 is that the mark rober song
You have to factor in shock/horror delay in the first game because people around you are being dropped like flies left and right. Also have to wade through the fallen bodies which will add more time.
I’ve literally done the “step forward” strategy in real life and pulled it off first try. It works, but you have to take a few steps so they all fall.
Seems like it would perfectly if your opponents are leaning all the way back. But of course, you'd have to think of it and execute it within 10 seconds, and unless you can communicate telepathically the other time will probably figure out what's up.
the rope is not long enough for the tug of war to even get it the attempt that it deserves. I would like to see it at the same length of rope and amount of people and all to make this experiment done properly. This would be the only way to make sure it is true. You have a small number of people it would be easy to defeat it. But the more people you have the harder it would get. I think that is why it is not working in your experiments. For the glass, is it possible they used sugar glass instead? They could have said it was something else but lied.
You're definitely right. They're the hyper-elite, I think they know how to get brittle glass
Also remember that they're not just stepping on the glass, they're jumping, are they not?
Edit: Ok, Ok, they jumped, stop bugging me with these notifications.
Sugar glass has a fairly high tolerance to being stepped on, so long as you don't jump on tip toes
It would still end the same.
@@kingdedede7 you tested?
For the marble game you chose, I didn't know that was actually a game lol. I've played games like that with other objects, rigging it in my favorite and winning every time lol. I would totally win
for the glass, they can put tiny nails in the corners so that the slightest push will shatter the glass almost no matter how thick it is. think of it as a button. the glass is held up by 4 nails and without anything pushing on it, the glass is able to stay stable on the nails without shattering but once someone steps on it just a little, it shatters.
In the first game, I would literally hug the rightmost exterior wall (though facing away from it so I guess backward hugging?). By leaning against it, you could get greater muscle control and move forward at a slow but stable pace while making stopping easier. Further, the robot's head turns counter-clockwise so you have maximized the amount of time you have to react by being always being at between the 5 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions.
I would waste my life by pushing you
or we can baby crawl. it's a very stable position so anyone can stop at any time
@@RottingFarmsTV what

The marble echo effect on the glass does work, but it takes a bit more keen of an ear that is used to listening really closely to things. I have been in music my whole life and hearing intricate harmonies takes this kind of ear. The non-tempered glass has a thinner, more ringy sound with the marble, while the tempered is thicker and the echo doesn't last as long.
Always start with the umbrella's handle. That way, when you are working on the "easier" sections, there is very little chance the handle will chip or break off while trying to get rid of the largest areas.
In the show, if you step on tempered glass it takes a second or two for the glass to break. If you just skip in a straight line, only touching each glass for a fraction of a second, none of the glass will break and you will survive.
yea i was thinking just speedrun the whole thing
There should be two at the same time doing it so the glass from behind will break making a path then again on the other side making a clear path
You mean anealed glass?
That's unlikely. The normal glass will shatter even under the weight of one person. By simply jumping on it, you exert kinetic energy onto the glass.
There are so many survival guides on yt anyone could survive squid games easily.
This is probably one of the best analyzed versions of the survival guides.
Except the tug of war one. I like the glass one tho. That one is well-analysed, but I do want them to clarify that the sound pitch made by different glass is accurate.
In tug of war: literally cheat thas it
Unless they change it up every focus group. Majority of group 1 came back so maybe they just kept what they had u til they were all gone. When the next wave comes, all new games are played. Idk, just a though that would screw people over
6:15 that's what she said
For tug of war, I feel like grass is a poor place to test this. It’s incredibly hard to gain traction in something like this unless you have something to dig into the ground like cleats.
"I cant hear a difference can you?"
"No"
me: who's played in orchestra for 3 years now, "uh, yes, yes there is"
Lol I do orchestra and have had 6 years of music school and they had no difference; it was just the height
@@mmonsterr yeah, I agree, but I still think it's plausible that there could be some distinct difference with better recording and practice.
@@Michael-dj6pd probably but it seems like the only difference was height
listen to the difference in pitch btwn the first time the marble is dropped on the pane, and the second time! on annealed glass, the pitch is the same no matter where on the glass you drop it; on tempered glass, the pitch is different depending on the thickness, curve, etc of the glass where the marble is dropped, so if you listen closely you can tell the first one is tempered
@@christinaleblanc2026 I thought I heard a difference too, and when I saw your comment, I rewatched it. For sure the first pane (on the right) he tested had a different pitch the second time it was dropped. I'd guess that was the tempered glass. He should've done what they did in the show and tossed it a bit so it bounces *across* the glass and hits multiple parts of the pane.
@12:46 we do this all the time at my summer camp. Now I never watched Squid Games so I don't know if the placement was on purpose or if they chose their own spot, but here's how you win every time (80% of the time) in 8 steps:
1) Positioning players is everything: get the strongest &/or heavest people at the begging & end (and middle if you have enough), they will be your anchors so you don't move. But make sure the strongest is definitely in the front b/c they will be doing 50% of the work.
2) Imagine you're moving a couch, it's a lot easier to push the couch than to pull the couch. That's what tug-of-war is, "pulling the couch". Instead of walking backward, the first 2 guys turn so that they are facing the direction they are pulling and "push the couch".
The rest of your team should do it the regular way to help stabilize, it's easy to lose balance when someone is pulling you back.
3) Staggering does help, it keeps everyone balanced & distributes the force of the other team evenly, this is why you have the front, middle, & end covered by strong people (if you don't have a middle anchor, the rest of the team's strength will make up for that)
4) strong-willed people need to be in front (also in back if possible) and everyone gets in a ready stance. @11:30 On the losing team, that guy in front didn't follow the strategy & everyone else was very relaxed, while the winning team always was focused & in a ready stance to pull at any second.
The first 10 secs is important, most teams will blow all their energy, so anchor down and wait till the other team wastes their adrenaline burst (while making small, but meaningful, pulls if you can without losing ground).
And this is where it all comes together: advance & maintain ground!
5) the first 2-3 guys will immediately start to "push the couch" to offset the pulling force from the other team, everyone else just makes sure that their team isn't losing ground (& pulling if they can do so without losing the ground they have/will gain b/c of the "couch pusher" guys in front).
The strong-willed guy is the one who will keep the team in sync and say when to pull. Since he's in front, he will know when the other team stops pulling at full strength b/c the rope will go slack from the other team's side, & he wouldn't mistake it for a team member since no one else is in front of him.
Now that you survived the first 10secs, it's time to haul ass!
6) Everyone will use their full strength to pull. You'll need constant motion since your team is weaker, that's what the first 2-3 guys & end guy are for. everyone else can just pull with all their strength or they can go heve-ho, the sudden burst will throw the other team off balance (which will physically translate to the alternating pattern of pulling and anchoring down). Or if you do decide to just keep the momentum do it fast so that the other team can't recover.
Some people do not have stamina so they need a 3-sec rest, the staggering & heavy guys help a lot by balancing the team by providing more tension in favor of the team, that way everyone can put more energy into pulling when they do get their strength back.
Again; if you can't advance, maintain ground. Since the other team will be weak when you pull, it will make it easier to do so.
7) Now the real trick is to do this fast & strong, imagine that the game isn't supposed to take more than 20secs. Towards the end when you see the other team is slipping/losing ground, just give it everything you got without stopping.
8) finally: don't worry about what everyone else is doing, just focus on your part & what you need to do. Focusing on everyone else will stop you from being purposeful with your movements.
I would say the glass that was ment to break was rigged with some sort of mini blast in the beams or some sort of shatter mechanism to make sure the glass breaks even if their weight could support them.
For the tug of war, I think the knees have to be straight not bent and the rope tucked under the armpit and your arm is clamped down on the rope along with your hands. So your hands and arms are locked to the rope while your feet and body weight acts as anchors on the ground. Also having them staggered, like one on the left of the rope next on the right, and next on the left etc to cover more surface area to get more grip. I believe that's how it works.
