    19:00 it’s because of the nature of ordering the numbers from left to right: there are 5 low cards and so if there are x low cards in one pile there will be 5 - x low cards in the other pile. Since the cards are ordered from left to right a low card can never be opposite a low card and in turn a high card can never be opposite another high card.

    • @EtoileLion
      @EtoileLion 3 года назад +9

      Another way to think about it:
      Assume you had 10-6 as one of your pairs.
      10 is the highest card; there can be no card higher. It's in player A's hand.
      in order for it to line up with the 6, the 6 must be the lowest card in player B's hand. (because the highest card in player A's hand matches with the lowest card in player B's hand)
      What 4 cards can be higher than the 6? 7,8,9,10.
      But we already used 10; so this is an impossibility. There are not 4 cards higher than the 6 left to fill out the other player's hand.

      @ianrobinson8518 7 месяцев назад

      @@EtoileLionYour explanation is correct of course. It’s an important point that is missed in the video. However it doesn’t strictly prove that if it’s true for 10, it’s also true for 9 then 8 etc. Perhaps a form of inductive reasoning is necessary.
      That aside, without affecting the result, the two players could vertically swap their highs for lows so one has all highs and the other all lows. Then the H-L formulation is obvious.
      BTW I’m not sure it’s possible to prove it’s true by strictly algebraic means. I suspect not.

  • @arynstack264
    @arynstack264 3 года назад +108

    I did this with my class, then I had them take away the 9 and 10 and try it again with 8 cards, then again with 6 cards to see if they understood that they got square root answers...25, 16, 9!

    More interestingly, playing cards represent the Cosmos.
    4 suits = 4 seasons
    13 cards per suit = 13 lunar months in year
    52 cards in total = 52 weeks in year
    364 total all spots = 364 days in year
    Plus the Joker representing the odd 1 or 1.25
    …thus equalling 365.25 days in a year
    This is the reason cards were esoteric and mystical.

    It will always work and will be the square of the number of cards each one has and it works only in the reverse order ,if we put them on same order there will be different values all over with the lowest being 5 and the highest 25 when all cards would be high up and low down.Math will always work when there are preset conditions but if we would just shuffle a deck and try to grab anything by chance it will never work cuz there is no algorithm like in the rubix cube even if we know the whole deck the number of cards from the shuffle will change cuz the switching doesnt work on order it always can go back or forth.

  • @chlupl
    @chlupl 2 года назад

    Cards 1-8 would always come to 16, 1-6 would be 9, 1-4 would be 4 and 1-12 would be 36. You can quickly find the outcome with o=(h/2)² where o is the outcome and h is the highest number in the range. This does require that the range is consecutive, starts with 1 and ends with an even number.

    taking any number range (1-10) that split equally random to two group, where each group hold 5 cards, then the possible 'red' value will be 5^2=25
    another example , a pool of number range ( 1-18) that split equally random to two group, where each group hold 9 cards, then the possible 'red' value will be 9^2=81
    this x^y where x is number of card that hold by a group after equally divided from the pool, and y = number of group divide. this will hold true for 'red' value if and only if number of group divide is always 2.
