--
After many adventures in Wonderland, Alice has once again found herself in the court of the temperamental Queen of Hearts. She’s about to pass through the garden undetected, when she overhears the king and queen arguing that 64 is the same as 65. Can Alice prove the queen wrong and escape unscathed? Alex Gendler shows how.

This was a fascinating riddle.... But i had once read about Fibonacci sequence in Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and decided to dig deeper... And because of that, i knew the answer right away.
nice riddle
Sure!!
what's so special about 833
Moral of story:
Never interfere someone conversation if you don't want to die.
You know what Solomon said: To intervene in other people's argument is like pulling a dog by the ear.
Or know the answer and be a smarta**
But...then more will die
Exactly what I was thinking
Yup. You may not know the whole story and it's rude to interfere.
Oh! Excuse me for interfering! XD
"Answer the Riddle or you die"
Me: Guess I'll die
Yes finally
I'll die too
🤣🤣🤣
Plot twist: just answer it whether its right or wrong then you'll be free
Bold of you to assume I want to live.
Alice: You see, Fibonacci numbers-
Red Queen: OFF WITH HER HEAD

the fact that the queen is one who acts harley quinn in the movies is amazing (excuse my grammar)

Yes, thank you I was asking myself why is this so familiar?
Same!
"can alice wrap her head around whats wrong? before she loses it?" KILLED ME LMAO
Almost killed Alice, too!

I seriously though TED was finally going to tell us why a raven is like a writing desk.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote on both
You turn to them both on a dark and stormy night?
Lewis Carroll actually provided an answer for that one though, it's because "they both make notes (letters and "caw") although they are rather flat (paper and a flat music note)."
Me too
I was thinking the same thing. Why IS a raven like a writing desk?
Fun fact: The author of Alice in Wonderland was a mathematician and his books are full of math references.
For example, when Alice falls down the hole and begins shrinking, she wonders if she'll eventually disappear or shrink indefinitely. This hints at the concept and definition of a limit.
It's no wonder various authors have used Alice and her adventures to write and logic and math books.
It fits so well.
Fun fact: Queen Victoria liked the book so much that she suggested that Carroll dedicate his next work to her. And *An Elementary Treatise on Determinants, With Their Application to Simultaneous Linear Equations and Algebraic Equations* was presented to the queen
@@izthistle6196 👏👏
I wonder what a Wonderland based on Common Core mathematics would look like.
wut
Just when Alice was about to lose her head, she remembers the chocolate tablet problem that was around the internet a few years ago...
Oh yeah, that. I ate the chocolate.

"Can you answer the Alice in the Wonderland riddle?"
Me: I *wonder* how I'll get confused before the actual riddle start
There's only one problem: how will I explain everything I just saw to the Queen?
Tell her there's a visible gap between the soldiers, if they are as big as depicted (the size of humans) then there should be no problem seeing that gap from close up.
Queen be like : Off with her head
Run as fast as you can while screaming the answer XD
Point at her and scream "you chested b!tch"
And then RUUUUN
I thought it was more like a acid trip
*Students complain geometric is useless outside of school.
Queen of Hearts: Hold your head❤️
Thanks for your illustrations.
I mean you can beat this scenario without geometry
Yeah , my day job involves following a rabbit into a hole everyday, like many people do.
Geometry is really useful in this line of work
@@arthurlam751 My pleasure to help the scientists! Happy drawbiomed
It is not😒😔
If Alice is able to solve this puzzle in three seconds while being dragged to her death, she's clearly a prodigy. No wonder she was so bored of her sister's simple history lesson that she fell asleep.

Ted-Ed: Sure enough, there's a miniscule gap between gap between the triangles and trapezoids...
Card Soldiers: *cover up the gap when lying down in **1:33*
If they didn't, it would have been too obvious. Besides, the gap would have been less than a tenth of a square wide at its widest point.
I mean you're supposed to figure that part out though.
Actually the line is there, I am watching at 720p in my 13 inch, and there is a very light gray line in-between them, u have to be Keen to see that, man animators should have worked real hard on that!!
It's so small we can't see it
I can see it just fine.
Granted I'm using a 65 inch TV as a monitor, so it's a lot easier to see at that size.
I just love that Alice in Wonderland characters are randomly having an argument about numbers 😂
Recently I watched a video of a math teacher explaining this problem and while I kinda get it, it didn't clicked for me. The chessboard and the gap is such a wonderful illustration that helps my visual brain to process it better.
The art is also very cute! Thank you so much for creating this video ❤️
So the queen of hearts is able to have card soldiers that have fibonnaci sequence values as side lengths but can't piece together that 65-1 = 64
It's Wonderland. No one there is logical.

Congratulations 🎉👏 of being the top comment 👍😁 (as of now 😈)

I was able to solve the riddle but in a different approach.
Given the Queen's arrangement of the four soldiers, it would seem that a rectangle can be formed. Even if the total area of the four shapes sums up to 64 sq. units and cannot form a shape that's more or less than the mentioned area, there's been cases like the infinite chocolate bar puzzle that beg to differ.
To check if the 13x5 rectangle is possible, see if the measure of the rectangle's diagonal matches with the sum of the diagonal side of the trapezoid and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
If one were to look closely at the trapezoid, there is a right triangle within the trapezoid. Split the trapezoid into a 5x3 rectangle and a right triangle with legs 2 and 5. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse of the right triangle within the trapezoid, which is also the diagonal side of the trapezoid, is sqrt29.
Now let's take a look at the hypotenuse of the triangles with legs 8 and 3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem once more, we get a hypotenuse of sqrt73.
Now let's take a look at the diagonal of the supposed 13x5 rectangle. To get the measure of the said diagonal, we use the Pythagorean Theorem again. We get a measure of sqrt194. If the rectangle can be formed with the four soldiers, then the diagonal of the rectangle should be the same as the sum of the hypotenuse of the right triangle solder and the diagonal side of the trapezoid soldier.
sqrt194 is approximately 13.928
sqrt29 + sqrt73 is approximately 13.929
Since the two values above are not equal to each other, the 13x5 rectangle cannot be formed with the four soldiers/shapes. As such, the extra square comes from the gap at the supposed diagonal of the rectangular chessboard as shown in the video.
Woah
tldr
That was exactly how I approached it!
I found the sum of the areas of the soldiers to determine whether I should look for a surplus or a deficit-or, equivalently, which rectangle contains the error/cheat. (of course it's a gap; overlaps are more obvious)
Since the external dimensions matched the areas of the rectangles, there had to be a gap between the soldiers within the 5x13 rectangle. The lines running parallel to the sides of the rectangle will fit tightly together regardless, so the only place left for a gap-"are the large triangles really triangles?", check the slopes like Alice. 2/5 ≠ 3/8.
You know how other methods of finding the solution sort of pop out once you've solved the problem? You could also compare the slopes to the 5/13 of the rectangle's diagonal.
Yep, I did it in similar way.
Wow: "One can't believe impossible things." What great advice lol
Figured out the slopes thing right away but got stumped trying to figure out how they could possibly be covering the board anyway. Some clarification of the constraints of the question would've been nice, as I didn't think "they aren't" was a valid response.

_"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"_
*Answer:*
Poe wrote on both
They both produce notes and the front can nevar be mistaken from the back
There is a classical one! I don't have any idea hahahaha
They both produce notes, though they are both very flat
Because both have quills dipped in ink
Lewis Carroll is awesome. An awesome author AND mathematician!
"can alice wrap her head around what's wrong before she loses it"... That made me laugh and forgot to think about the riddle 😂😂
“64 is the same as 65”
This is beyond science.
This is like the the Chocolate bar trick where you cut it up and remove one piece and when reassembled makes it look like it didn't reduce in size.
I thought the riddle is about "why is a raven like a writing desk." Ha ha! 😀 😀
Great riddle! The recent riddles have been a little boring but now you're back, Ted Ed! I was stuck on this one for a long time and almost gave up but then I did the math. I figured that something must be wrong with ____ (no spoilers here!) and located the issue.
Besides, what a wonderful story and animation! The Alice in Wonderland theme is a great way to show how miraculous but universally true mathematics are.

Okay I am going to use this comment as a notepad while solving the puzzle because I am on a phone.
1. The easiest way to prove something wrong, is by seeing what happens if we assume it is right. We can ignore the 8x8 and 5x13 shapes because they both ( if the queen is right ) must be the sum of the 4 shapes so the first step should be to find the area of each one.
2. The area of both trapezoids are the same as the area of a square and a triangle that form them so it is equal to (5x3)+1/2(5x2)=15+5=20 square units each. Also The area of the triangles are 1/2(8x3)=12
3. The total area of the shapes is 20+20+12+12= 64 making it clear that the queen is cheating in the 65 grid. In the 65 x 65 grid, there is a clear diagonal line that runs from 2 corners. If the queen is true, the. The sum of the area of the trapezoid and the triangle is half of 65. But half of 65 is 32.5 and the sum of the 2 pieces are 32 clearly proving that the pieces do not exactly equal 65
4. Now with all this evidence, all that is left is to find the location of the missing square. Clearly the trickery is inside the diagonal line that divides the 2 sections of the shape. I think that the missing square is somewhere in the middle of the line, I am not sure where. I am pretty confused here and am going to stop now
Edit: OH MY GOD WHY DIDNT I THINK ABOUT THE SLOPE I WAS SO CLOSE
Queen : Explain how 64 and 65 are different!
Alice : ozo
step 1: confirm you have green eyes.
step 2: Ask the diagonal sides to leave.
Step 2 is what a karen would do.
uhh ?

Ted ed: Can you solve the Alice in Wonderland riddle?
Me: probably not, but you know I'm gonna watch it anyway.....
4:23 i JUST realized she's doin' tha jazz hands.
I enjoy these videos, and I'm sure people have pointed out this before, but aren't these "riddles" more puzzles or math problems than riddles? For me a riddle is a kind of conundrum where the answer is obvious once revealed and the challenge is really in understanding the riddle's framework, as they're usually using unusual language to describe the conundrum.
This is basically
*"The Infinite Chocolate Bar Trick"* the question
These riddles are always so interesting and I love how they are being presented. I admit, I couldn't solve this riddle by myself, but now I know the explanation and the Fibonacci numbers, so I'll know what to do next time)
Alice: See’s a minuscule gap
The gap: *Size of the Grand Canyon*
Well I overengineered it... I identified the right triangles, then figured out the lengths of their hypotenuses with the Pythagorean theorem, then divided the short sides with the respective hypotenuses to get the sinus values of the smaller angles , and then used the inverse sinus function to figure out the angles the sinus values correspond to. Sure enough they were different.
.
Then the video comes at me with a subtraction and two divisions, and reaches the same conclusion...
.
.
At least this is the first riddle I actually got around to figuring out myself, before watching the solution.
To get the limit solution: (1) Start with a rectangle with an aspect ratio of phi^2 to 1 (2.618:1). (2) Cut the rectangle along the diagonal, so you end up with 2 congruent triangles with the same aspect ratio. (3) Lay the triangles one on top of the another and align them so they appear as one triangle. (4) On the longer side of the triangles, mark a perpendicular line at phi^-1 (0.618) of the way in. (5) Cut the triangles along the marked line. (6) Rearrange the resulting triangles and trapezoids into a square. In the limit case, you should not have any excess or missing material.

"1:35, they showed it as if they actually touched. If it had said that there a was gap in between, it would have been more obvious for me. They didn't show the information correctly. I still enjoy this concept though"
The suggested assumption by the pictures where it tells you to pause is that the shapes perfectly cover the second board, but they dont
"Alice remembers her geometry"
Well good thing she did because I didn't.
Damn, didn’t know Alice had the ability to perfectly mesure the length of geometrical shapes and calculate equations straight out of her mind . Could have served purpose in the films .....
Ted ed: Can you solve-
Me: No. No, I can't
Mindblowing fact: this equation b^2=ac+1 does not only pertain to fibonacci numbers but to each and every squared natural number. If you try it, you will see that no matter of the natural number you have, odd or even, when raised to the power of two, is the same as the multiplication of its two adjacent natural numbers plus one. So, in order to calculate a square root of a given number, you can either multiply it by itself or use this formula here.
This is one of the few I was able to solve. Thank you Geometry class
I almost gave up,
but the faith of believing in science eventually let me solve this riddle.

Thank you Ted ed
this kind of hidden cut is also used on that "infinite chocolate bar" gif
i thought this was gonna be the "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" riddle
Easiest one! : Area of two trapeziums- 2{(1/2 x (5+3) x 5}= 40
Area of two triangles- 2(1/2 x 3 x 8)= 24
Total are of trapeziums and triangles- 64 which equals the 8x8 chessboard but not the (13x5)=65 chessboard. Damn Easy ♟️
Nobody did this yet so here I go:
Confirm to the queen that your eyes are green and get out
But Alice's eyes are blue
This riddle reminds me of that Hershey chocolate optical illusion where you break one piece off and cut the chocolate and it looks like the same chocolate bar.
“Answer the riddle or *die* “
Me who hasn’t gotten to geometry in school: Adios
Me: Sees riddle
My mind: *Hey, do you remember that one piece of trivia you heard seven years ago?*
After watching the video I got in a real puzzle. Despite that having 64 and 65 being the same it's still different, even in the fibonnachi sequence that tells them that their the same it's still isn't fully calculated to fill the whole checkerboard. But if that small gap on the 5x13 checkerboard is that missing square they wouldn't be able to know that small gap's true area. In the video they said the slopes length in the shapes are 0.4 and 0.375, the area is 0.15. The 8x8 fills in with the shapes that explains it's 64, but in for 5x13 that equals 65 and you minus 0.15 it's 64.85 making it greater than 64
Well,it seems that Alice is a mathematician.
Her author was a mathematician.
I really thought I was going to figure out why a raven is like a writing desk...
