- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- The Devil's Calculator Part 1 - you must combine your math and puzzle solving abilities. I've yet to find any other puzzle game that applies remotely as interesting maths as this one. Made by a nonprofit org too, pretty cool!

ok, the idea of a calculator literally having a 'search on wolfram alpha' button is hilarious to me. may as well be a 'I dunno, go ask my dad' button
Honestly quite incredible

!! HI PATASHU
@@balt. hi! play Skala
@@Patashu wait
Are you the large number library person
Ben the editor committing to the bit and actually plaguing history. Amazing work as always from the three of you!
no that was definitely his history before he cleared it but Tyler told him to take a screenshot first
three?
@@thatguyyouknowtheone4073 tyler has two editors
"Sexy minesweeper"
I like how he googled "puzzle game bobos" after "puzzle game boobs". He was indeed looking for bobos
Not the first time search history has been leaked on this channel, but god damn did Sexy Minesweeper caught me off guard
Ahhh, remember twitch plays btd?
The bombs only blow your clothes off
@@FrancoisTremblay Now this is the game I need to play
Don’t forget puzzle game 80085
thank you tyler, your notification turned on the lights on my phone and made me realize i forgot to set my alarm. your calculator has successfully saved me a massive headache.
Nice
Poggers
Thanks, this comment made me realize I forgot to set my alarm

I was like #420.
My life is complete.
What an insanely cool idea for a number puzzle game. I feel like this could be used in actual math classes to help understand certain concepts
And then it pulls shenanigans like C to F, binary, and base 8
If this was my homework I would've worked a lot harder
There's this mobile game with similar concepts called Calculator: The Game. Played it a couple months ago, pretty neat, though not the mathematics is not as heavy.
And then they actually set your computer on fire
@@Yichh those aren't shenanigans...
Seeing Tyler's quick pattern recognition for some of the non-algebraic problems is really impressing. The base 8 to base 10 would have really stumped me
A big part of that is probably hs background in computer science. Base 8, or octal is sometimes used in that.
Agreed. I know base-2 and base-16 by heart because I'm a programmer. I rarely use base-8 but I'm aware of it.
I think we fail to appreciate how smart this man is. Dude straight up pulled binary translation off the top of his head. And base 8. This guy is a math wiz.
Edit: These replies have become a war zone. I just wanted to compliment Tyler.
I mean he studied computer science, you use binary and base 8 sometimes there
I recommend y'all the song "New Math" by Tom Lehrer, it explains base 8 pretty well
you can write base 8 in base 2, no prob
@@ObviusRetard actually I just started studying computer science at uni (though I live in Italy and things may be different in other places) and one of the first exams includes converting from base x to y, passing through base 10 and they taught us how to convert from x to 10 and from 10 to y so it very much is something he should know how to do very well
Edit: with x and y I mean two given whole numbers greater than one
Binary is simple and easy to learn, most people just don't bother to because they don't need it. However, while I can't remember how base 10 works, let alone base 8, I remember having significantly more trouble learning them than binary.
Cool to see such an old game get highlighted, I love this one. One cool thing about this game, you can get it for free if you're a student.
Did you get the email? I checked both spam and inbox repeatedly but don't see anything :/
just pirate it
never seen this game but it always shocks me that tyler's so quick at figuring out these puzzles.
Honestly kind of wish he'd give me a moment to figure it out too.
there is alot of cute throught thats why he figures it out "quickly"
sometime there are subtle jump cuts you might notice as his facecam skips a lil
@@Bed12344 i dont really think that's the case for most of the levels, maybe some of the more particular one such as the °F to °C or the base 8 one, but the rest seemed doable to do quick
There's definitely cuts, probably tips on screen and more examples that we're missing
sexy minesweeper,
this could actually be Tyler's browser history, only things missing is Tyler looking up exercises.
There already are calculator puzzle games called "Calculator: The Game" and its sequel "Calculator: The Game 2" for mobile. They are actually banger puzzle games getting me into the genre and I suggest for people to check it out.
I love those too.
Unfortunately I think they removed it from Google Play store, I can't find it, even when searching through previously installed apps :( though I still have the sequel installed currently.
I don’t know why, but the fact that you can open a normal, I possessed calculator at any time is hilarious
Game's central mechanic: ooohh nooo your calculator is possessed and unusable normally!
Game: hey tap here for a regular calculator lol
the calculator class gets to dual wield after level 15, highly recommended
and you can bring up wolfram alpha whenever you want lol
Thank you for the explanations on the bottom of the screen! It makes it soooo much easier to follow what's going on!
the closeup camera this episode was very intimate. thank you Tyler.
Watching this guy do math off the dome really puts your intellect into perspective.
There are a lot of jump cuts
Dude Tyler is actually gifted these are hard patterns but he actually solves them pretty quickly
It's no sexy minesweeper but I would love to see more of this game, especially if it gets into even higher maths. I love math but was never able to learn anything beyond basic algebra and geometry, dropped out of school for health reasons.
There are some really good math resources out there if you'd ever like to learn. It's hard to figure out the next step sometimes but I'd recommend 3 blue 1 brown. He handles a lot of different math including calculus. If you find something you want to learn about but can't understand the explanations look for the terms you don't recognize and start googling/browsing RUclips. I really enjoy math and there's some really interesting tricks math uses to get past problems. Self taught math is difficult but you can learn almost anything you could in any classroom if you take the time to look
@@piercexlr878 Oh, I love him! 3blue1brown, Numberphile, Mathologer, and StandupMaths are all great things I watch. I just find my brain refuses to retain anything; every time calculus gets brought up, for example, I have to relearn the entire concept all over.
@@MikuJess Ah yeah I have to do a lot of relearning. A lot of the time I watch the beginning of a video to get an idea what it's trying to explain and then I try and figure it out before watching the rest. Works best with 3b1b since he flows very nicely from what you should know to what you dont. May not work as well for you but it's always helped me. That and just practice. Give yourself some numbers and see if you can make things work. In some cases even I'll just look up a 5ish minute video to clear up things I remember knowing but can't remember the details. Not sure if any of that will help but math is really interesting so I try and help people out if they're interested but struggling. Oh yeah dont get too far over your head. Don't rush the process. If you need to spend a week to actually understand something just spend the week and move onto what you wanted to learn. Rushing just means you'll be spending that time relearning later. If you need any help on anything I'd also be happy to point you in the right direction or explain it if I'm able. I'm a Calc 2 student at the moment but have a lot of additional random math knowledge I've gathered. It's late for me so ignore my inability to Grammer right now.
I kinda want to know if there‘s actually something like sexy minesweeper. Then again I don‘t want to know.
That sexy minesweeper video he released today was great.
I actually really enjoyed seeing you play this game. It may seem to some people to be a tedious game, but the logic behind it has been pretty great. Also, you are ridiculously good at maths, I was struggling to keep up and that's one of the areas I know I'm good at. I went to college for it and actually learned how to use Wolfram Alpha too. (Don't worry, it's no way near as scary as you think it is. You give it a formula and it slaps it on a graph, it's a pretty neat bit of kit.)
Also, Ben the absolute mad lad, I hope he found his sexy minesweeper.
Who's Ben?
Damn, I read that far, and am now legally obligated to comment 'sexy minesweeper'
I loved the part in the video when Tyler showed us how to beat sexy minesweeper in under 69 minutes, I’m sure all the women like his big brain
I dont get it?
@@pessskychaos4874 4:31
wow, the editing has very much improved! i loved the sexy minesweeper!
4:31
Alright, we REALLY need a "sexy minesweeper" play through on this channel! You know... for educational puzzle purposes :)
Thank you for putting the equations at 9:39 cause I had no idea what he was going on about
I feel like "Sexy Minesweeper" is probably a thing or, if it's not, will be in the not-too-distant future.
Also, I've had this game for ages and I keep meaning to play it, so it was interesting watching you play through the first few levels.
I'm not complaining about the title, but this is definitely not the only one as I was actually expecting a different calculator puzzle game when I clicked on this (don't actually remember what it was called), hadn't heard of this one
hey, as someone who helped develop the extremely complex game sexy minesweeper, including all of coding it, all of arting it, and creating the base for it (the original minesweeper), i say you almost certainly should play sexy minesweeper. there's so much lore and sexy puzzles and a database for all the answers, so if you dont play it, youre missing out on life.
hmmm…
I really like seeing induction-based games. I think it is a vastly underrepresented genre and I feel like Tyler would do really well at them.
Thank you for adding explanations to some of the solutions. Most of the processes I could follow but a few I'd have been lost without having it explained what was happening. Made it much more enjoyable to watch not just being confused which numbers were being said
Tyler would be the kind of guy to enjoy a calculator game
Tyler, there's actually another calculator puzzle game! It's called "Calculator: The Game." Basically, it gives you one number, and tells you to get to some other number in X steps. It's honestly really hard, and they do get a bit creative by having extra functions like modulus, reversing the digits, adding a digit, or removing digits.
WAITTT oh my GOD I remember seeing this on the playstore like YEARRSSS AGO and playing it to completion
WOAH the nostalgia trip I got from that intro is simply unbelievable
Can't wait for Tyler to do the sexy minesweeper episode
I only understood half of this, but it was still really enjoyable.
I know you've been doing this for a while, but I've really been enjoying the variety content. I used to watch you solely for bloons and BOY was I missing out on some great content
13:06 the editor censoring Tyler’s mouth 😂
Ben giving us a little laugh with “sexy Minesweeper”
Goddammit Ben I don't need sexy minesweeper in my thoughts
There's this mobile game called "Calculator: The Game" with similar concepts, but with lighter maths and easier to follow.
I actually remember playing a calculator-based game sorta like that on my phone years ago
On that browser history joke, I laugh at people who don't always have their browser set to clear browser history and cookies
So… just incognito mode?
@@LindenF incognito mode doesn't save logins so it's annoying to use constantly
Why would it matter? No one uses my PC but me and the ISP/NSA already have the stuff saved.
@@WowCreativeUsername I don't need my friends or family seeing the weird shit I find let alone let them see the sites I go to for piracy
@@coffeedude Setup logins beforehand, then use incognito.
Can't wait for the next sexy minesweeper episode!
heck, I've never seen Tyler at this resolution before. Absolute giant.
I feel like I have a decent brain for math but this game's logic is definitely beyond my grasp.
I downloaded it, and my god it gets even worse.
I used to love math when I was younger but this is just breaking my brain, and ironically it is mostly because of Tyler. I think a key aspect to realize is that Tyler is simply good with numbers, and that it takes a damn good mind to follow along with his thinking because we have very little contextual clues that nudge his thinking on a path that the rest of us can predict. His flow of thought is not accessible because it is rapid and just wildly grasping around for inspiration: even if you understand what his comments mean does not mean you can instantly apply it to the context you can see, so you are always lagging a few seconds behind... but those seconds will already have him rushing down a few other lines of thinking at the same time that you then miss. I think playing it yourself and derping around and exploring the game on your own pace will make for a far more satisfying experience, because watching Tyler play just makes you feel like you suck at math. A large part of math is about seeing and understanding patterns, and since Tyler is also comfortable with university level math means he recognises patterns that someone without that experience will have to figure out on the spot.
@@Aviertje This is a very accurate comment! But I would still like to encourage you regarding maths, because you can be brilliant at maths but absolutely suck at a game like this. When you work as a mathematician, computer scientist, physicist, engineer, or any other work requiring university maths, you very rarely work with actual numbers. Your job is to understand the relations between, and within, abstractions and empirical data. So a person may for example be able to figure out an expression describing an infinitely growing geometrical structure, solve seemingly impossible integrals and differential equations, or discover new truths in graph theory that could be applied to economics, but still use the calculator to do simple addition.
I myself simply do this. While I work on some problem and I quickly need to check if some numerical values are correct, if the solution doesn't come to me instantly, I just press the numbers into my calculator and I'm good to go. There is absolutely no prestige in doing it in your head because that space is already busy with more complicated matters that's not solvable by any known machine.
What I mean by all this is that there is in reality a very big problem. There exists so many people that would be exceptional at maths, and that would come up with the most amazing revelations that could affect so much of the world. But these people does not become mathematicians... Because in an early school age they start believing that they are bad at maths simply because the mathematical path through school does not involve creativity, but remembrance and persistence.
So when @Awbluefy say that they have 'a decent brain for math', that could actually be so much more true than what they may realise!
8:55 that was a helpful popup Mr. Editor
He has a name but it's funnier just to call him ben
sexy minesweeper is an epic spinoff, I highly recommend it to people who enjoy the original game
4:31 I've played a game about chemistry that could be a result from that search history.
Ben, you and your sexy minesweeper was the funniest joke I saw all week
i wish sexy minesweeper was real
"Pro Office Calculator" is another calculator based puzzle game that's worth checking out. It's pretty short too, could easily be put into 1 video
After seeing the search history joke I knew without checking that this was a Ben video, that one got me absolutely rolling
Finally, a puzzle game I can follow along with.
Its like tylers whole life has lead to this games. He is so good at it and has all the random background knowledge
I mean, I can't blame tyler, sexy minesweeper is pretty good
I’m super excited for him to play sexy minesweeper if he ever gets the chance to.
Damn, that’s some sexy minesweeper
Man this game was amazing, really brought me back to my uni time
Ben has some naughty browser history, I respect that
What a sexy minesweeper that was. Or something. Tyler's pattern recognition for those mathmatic stuff is ridiculously impresssive
There also is the "Pro office calculator", its a puzzle game/fps. Its free on steam
Ooh that one's god
The sexy minesweeper was brilliant. So good
Hey Tyler., You have to be part or full on genius I was watching you do this game and at the start I was like oh yea that all makes sense then you got in the 20 level and I was just staring at my screen drooling I have 0 idea what was going on. You are a genius man
In reference to the title: There is another: a mobile game called “calculator: the game”. basically you’re given some numbers, operations (including fictional ones), a goal number and a move limit for each level. Really fun, too (and free w/ ads).
That last one was very clever. I had recalled from somewhere that the Sum of 1-36 was 666, somehow related to roulette wheels in my brain, and then I saw that 6 was on fire so we couldn't use it, and then you solved it before I could think properly about it.
This is a sexy minesweeper moment
Oh my God, my favorite TV show The Genius has had a Death Match like this. Called it Mystery Sign and both players gave a number, host gave a result, and the players had to figure out what operation happened to the numbers!
It reminds me of Countdown that has a section where a bunch of numbers need to be put together to accomplish a random target number. I kinda want to see Rachel Riley (the personification of sexy and smart at head math) who just solves those things on the spot when the contestants can't figure it out, and see her speedrun this game. That would blow my mind.
Really really solid vid so far. if i were to make a suggestion to Ben the editor--if you're gonna do rapid-fire bits like at the start, could you try to hold frames a bit longer? The flashing from moving Tyler to the side, to showing the calculator, to the swipe transition, to the devil effects, to the math function symbols, was, like, a Lot for me. Same with later; quickly superimposing his head on the animation or just quickly flashing the animation zoomed in were a bit disorienting. I've got visual processing issues, and had to rewatch that first section a few times for it to make sense. again, really solid video!! I hate to give unsolicited advice, but chances are there are other viewers with the same problems processing things as me, so I figured it was worth in on the off chance it might help accessibility. All the best and thanks for the vid :)
I thought my mind was already blown when Tyler played minesweeper but no. THIS BLEW MY MIND EVEN MORE!
When it came up that ◇ could be different for even and odd numbers... "◇ takes n to n/2 if even and 3n+1 if odd, prove that recursively applying ◇ takes all positive integers to 1" :P
I like how you just refuse to use the tools the game provides you because your cracked at math and puzzles.
That is one sexy minesweeper game there.
I always love a good game of sexy minesweeper.
tyler when will you be playing sexy minesweeper??!?!? we've been waiting years for you to finally play it
9:00 thanks for the note, ben.. I’m clearly smart enough to know what he’s talking about and would have felt like a fool had you not put that note on there that I can only assume it’s in English even though I’ve never seen those words in that order before.. lol
Ok, this is the first aliensrock video I had to stop watching so I could just buy and play the game. This looks sick, I'll finish once I've tried it out myself
The "puzzle game bobos" and then corrected search for "puzzle game boobs" was genius
Following the timestamps, "boobs" is the actual typo
So when are we getting some sexy minesweeper?
Loving that search history-sexy minesweeper
When I saw the title I got excited that you were playing a game a had fond memories of playing 5 years ago and forgot about but this is just a different game.
The original calculator games are two apps made by simple machines LLC on iPhone (not sure about android). You get a certain set of operations and a starting value and in a certain amount of turns you have to create the goal value. Name is simple. Calculator: The Game. Second game is a sequel.
Having "advertisement" for Wolfram Alpha is hilarious.
I like how Tyler has a poster of the pillars of creation in his room
When you realise that Tyler is a maths genius
It's funny, I was expecting the fiery number stuff to be the main thing, but with the standard operators
great vid!!
Editor Ben, you always have such good bits- sexy minesweeper
The editing is godlike!
this game just goes to show that aliensrock is legitimatley the smartest man who ever lived
15:28 I figured it out by myself: Takes the second value, decrements it, then multiplies.
"10/10 would play again." - Richard would be pleased.
This is one of the few videos I was solving at the same pace as Tyler
My guy, your something else.
Fun fact,
In the last puzzle you could do 36y1 this sum is also 666
Hey ben, thanks for the sexy minesweeper
this is like Understand but less abstract. Nice!
Love that the Devil's calculator uses RPN (reverse polish notation), truely evil.
How does he do math so fast? I thought your puzzle solving skills were insane and now you can just calculate anything in your brain.
Dang, Tyler. Knew you were smart, but your head math is super quick.
This seems like an awesome concept
"Sexy minesweeper"... thanks Ben
I do have to say there is at least one other calculator puzzle game its a phone game. Appropriately called Calculator: The Game. Has a bit of story to it as well i quite enjoyed playing it.
When you 0 forked 0, my player legitimately ended it's buffer and reloaded. The calculator is indeed evil!
HOLY CRAP DEVIL'S CALCULATOR! I LOVED THIS GAME WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!!
