2 Mind Bending Puzzles You Can Do at the Bar!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- This week you can challenge your drinking buddies with a couple of fun brain teasers. The first one's just a warm up. Use straws or matches to set up a tic-tac-toe pattern on the table. Give them six coins and see if they can set all six of them on the grid without having three in a row anywhere. Then the BIG challenge: take that same tic-tac-toe pattern and rearrange the straws to make three perfect squares in as little moves as possible.

**psst** Are you enjoying Scam School? You've gotta check out our *brand-new series* "The Modern Rogue" at ruclips.net/user/modernrogue. If you've seen it, reply and tell me what you think. If not, then get on over there. I'll bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian
Yo scam school, why did the hair change?
Scam School
Iv just managed to do the first one in my head in less than 30 sec.
I love the Modern Rouge, best channel out there
so they look like nerds, but they are not very smart. wow, that's truly a lose-lose situation we have here
2001 called. It wants its haircut back.
Lord Kittens McTavish No one wants that haircut
Lord Kittens McTavish that's more of a 90s haircut, Bart Simpson, Scotty 2 Hottie, any white guy that break danced.
flopinator but simpsons is a 80s show
lol, not only do they still play today, the peak of the cartoon was in the 90s. if you ever remember the butterfinger mystery, you know what im talking about. bart vs space mutants, come on bro, its as 80s as the bush empire.
flopinator thats true i just wanted to say that it was released in the 80s but simpsons is kinda timeless :) :P
Do I need the same haircut in order for it to work?
💀
I'm dead 😂😭
I got both puzzles in less than 5 seconds.
I suppose the only way these would be "mind bending" is if the person you were playing with was drunk, which explains why they're bar tricks.
lol
+Webberjo They are also good for stubborn people.
The second trick works well on people who are unwilling to stop progressing.
It looks like you have 3 squares and 2 extras, people are more likely to consider getting rid of the two extras than breaking the already made box in the middle. So you are just better than more common people on the psychological level also.
Oh and yeah drunkness helps limit their ability to think away from all of the rest of the stuff.
it will maybe work with drunk people. but anybody with 75iq can solve it.
***** there aren't very many people in the word with 75 iq that have access to 12 straws or 6 quarters
dmansor2 there are people that have a iq of 30
Leo Simmel exactly my point. thanks
Leo Simmel yes but those people are likely declared legally retarded and cannot wipe their own behinds or drunk from a non sippy cup.
I solved that first one instantly
If Sonic jumped on your head he'd lose rings...
these two were easy as hell.
+XowntXihqX I managed to figure out the "hard" one quicker than the "easy" one. Not very impressive puzzles.
@@InfernosReaper same here
I forgot to comment this 6 years ago, making up for it now.
@@dcmurphy5157 Greeting future-person. How goes life?
@@InfernosReaper Very well other than the fact I checked my 401K stocks this morning just to see it be negative for the 10th month in a row. I’m slightly exaggerating. Not like it’s a big deal, only my retirement.
@@dcmurphy5157 Yeah, no guaranty we'll live to see that sort of thing anyway.
Though, if one already owns their house and their car, as well as live in a low cost of living state after years of working a decent-paying job, they'll probably be fine on just social security anyway.
Everybody thinks they're so smart for immediately figuring these out behind their computer screens...the thing is, whenever you're trying to act smart in front of a bunch of people, especially a camera crew (and a guy with a very terrifying hairdo), you're just not going to think as well as you normally do. You're going to be distracted by those around you and their thoughts or what they're saying/doing. Did you ever have a moment in a classroom as a kid when you were called to do a simple problem on the board and you took way too long to figure it out? Yeah, same thing here.
Finally some one smart here
THANK YOU. I hate all those comments, they're so annoying.
and....?
I couldn't do shit if I was confronted by a man with that hedgehoghairstyle
looolllll right
He told her should could start over when she was 1 move from getting it at the start. He was like "for some reason people get so close and don't see the last move" but he encouraged her to go back and start at the beginning
I did the first puzzle in 5 seconds...
probably harder when ur drunk
No one cares
llamajoeteam statistically, out of over 7 billion people there are some that care.
Shadow_Slayer NO BODY ACTUALLY GIVES A CRAP
+Shadow_Slayer me to it was super easy
I got both quickly, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. None of them wanted to attempt it because they didn't want to be seen to fail, and there's also the pressure of being on camera. Very few people are unaffected in performance by people watching. The Key to the first one is not to put one in the middle. The side squares can only be involved in 2 full lines, corners involved in 3 but the centre square can be involved in 4. So you first avoid that square and second put 1 coin in each side square. as none of them can be linked together. Then you put coins in any two opposing corners and you're done. Avoiding the centre square is key in solving it.
The second one is also easy to solve, its the solving it in 3 moves part that's harder. But once you realise there are 12 straws, then you realise the 3 squares have to be separate, so to solve it in only three moves you have to dismantle (at least in part) the centre square. If you take one part of the centre square away to form one other full square, it then becomes obvious what to do to form another 2 full squares in just 2 moves.
Thats just logical thinking you can go through before you even attempt the puzzle.
But logical thinking under pressure isn't always possible, so people here trying to act clever and make themselves feel better by calling these five dumb only ever shows themselves to be ignorant.
TDSM8 VERY well put! -BB
Me to
Me too.
Same, I had the same experience
#1 is so easy i got it in 5 seconds lol
Ikr
+aaron brooks same 😂
same
yep
Same
I figured both out, too easy.
Same
Same and I'm 12
Omg you can be a professor now, sure
Is he the King of something? His hair looks like a crown.
+Zlotz that's exactly what I was thinking... guy rockin that linkin park! lol
Your hair could kill sonic the hedgehog
I got the first one in like five seconds. Now I have to wait for these guys to figure it out so I know the second one..
when she tried to do the second one, and did the 2 moves, I was yelling at my screen like: JUST PUT THAT ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE IT IS THAT EASY
Um...both of them were really easy...
Not if you're fickedu
i did the first one in a couple seconds and did the 2nd one in three moves
o i see he said it can be done in three moves
Not bad. It took me a while to find how to do it in 3 moves.
Yeah, the first one seems way too simple
Your mom must be so proud.
cool
Scam School,the only RUclips channel which replies to recent comments on its old videos.
she actually solved it and played it off lol
do you need a specific type of brain to figure these out, because i figured the first in about 30 sec (not the same pattern at the answer in the vid) and the second one instantly. o.O
You are lying because the pattern in the vid is the only possible answer.
1: please use proper grammar
2: for the second puzzle i didn't do it in 3 moves, but i did do it in 4.
and 3 there is another pattern for the quarter trick
Stayin' Shiny HD
1: I did use proper grammar.
2: There is only one pattern for the quarter trick.
Stayin' Shiny HD Did you really tell him to use proper grammar? Your first comment needed two more capital letters, and you asked a question without using a question mark. And you were wrong about him anyway; he didn't make a mistake. Also, there is only one way to solve the first puzzle. You can change the corners but it's the same concept.
Saw the move directly on the second puzzle, they were reaaally stupid XDXD
+Fisherminer **slow clap**
Scam School Nawwww thanks
I saw it too. I would have been yelling at the screen but they can't hear me and my family is asleep
Declan XDXDXD
+Fisherminer
Try drunk ;)
I reckon that the second one can be done in 3
knew it
+Dayton Guo I done it in 3
Teach me the puzzle of how to get my hair like that.
ruclips.net/video/arTvveslU0Q/видео.html
Scam School,Your scamming Brandon Reimer :)
the first one was easy
Ask Bart Simpson man
It's that special gel off "there's something about Mary." Lol
i took me about 20 seconds to figure them out in my head. the future isnt looking good guys.
oh my god, you used whiny white guy buzzwords. truly the future ain't what it used to be.
I got the first one in seconds.
congrats!
Scam School Wow really? You don't care about he's a liar or something?
lol same only not 1 second but I drew it out in paint
Nhat Quang It is actually not that hard it's quite obvious
Erik Hoevenberg Thanks.
Did both literally instantly. Well I guess it'd be hard if you're drunk lol
I was so confident my 4 move solution to the last one was the best. To take 2 straws from opposite corners to make squares on the non moved corners, making a diagonal row of 3 boxes.
that second one was so easy
I know right?
Lol 2nd one was easy for me, couldn't do the 1st one xD
Max Bond Exactly what I was thinking, lol.
You would think large groups of people could solve puzzles, but my dnd group proves otherwise
Solved both in seconds. I guess you need to challenge drunk people with these
Jason Hoogerhyde zing! BECAUSE YOU'RE SO SMART!
I think your right because I got the first in seconds and the second puzzle in four moves in seconds
I can't believe they couldn't solve those puzzles in few seconds without help. I'm 12 and i solved them in few seconds in first try.
I got both of these in seconds, i think if the host didn't reset the puzzle for them these people would have taken much longer.
repeated2 good point. We've got a bunch of much harder puzzles in our catalog... you give those a try yet?
Lol you sound like grunclestan
repeated2 their just acting nobody is so stupid as them >.>
"Hey Amanda, You want to go to a bar?"
"Sure!"
"OK , just leave your father who just got divorced at home please"
I figured it out at 5:10 and omg I wish I could yell through the screen
Thanks to RUclips i'm now getting free drinks and lots of women at every bar!
Literally #1 is as easy as drawing a tic-tac-toe grid.
Did the second puzzle in five seconds too.
I'm here watching at home like do you not ****king see the answer
First one was ridiculously easy. My thought process was that the middle was necessarily off-limits, since, if it is in the middle, you have 5 left and 8 spaces, so at least one set of two spaces on opposite sides are necessarily filled, meaning you have a three in a row. So that means that all of the coins would be on the outside. I then started with them all filled and just removing two to get down to no three-in-a-rows and it was kinda easy to just remove the opposite corners.
they were so uninterested
I solved the second one in like a second... That was not hard at all.
That 2nd puzzle was FRUSTRATINGLY EASY! How did they not see it?!
I think the beer helped.
Scam School And the dashingly, handsome man in front of them would of definitely been a distraction ; ) for me at least.....
Ellie Alexander Right. That pissed me off so much
Ellie Alexander Ikr
The 1st one is too easy?
Edit: Ok... the second one was easy as well...
***** well after their decline they did make a comeback at DH Masters
+ZZ Lai I found the second one easier than the first. First way ways with 3
Don't kid yourself mate, you we're never "on the inside" with that hair; of anything; or anyone... ever.
+dylan boyd I have no idea what that means.
+dylan boyd lol
+Scam School I think the "anyone" Crack was not getting laid. the rest was feeling sorry for their stupid selves for not getting any of the puzzles.
+dylan boyd Firstly, it's "were" not "we're" you sad individual.
Secondly, that's not how you use a semi-colon.
Thirdly, where the hell do you get off making fun of someone who made a channel and a show, when you just sit at home watching it? How can you say that about someone? Making fun of the way someone chooses to look comes from a sadness inside yourself. He's choosing to express himself; be supportive and enjoy it. Or, hate it and go away. (That's how you use a semi-colon)
If you're sad and feeling suicidal, spread love and you'll feel better about yourself. Do NOT project your feelings onto others and make fun of them (based on your assumption) for being suicidal.
Either way, it's wrong. If you need help, reach out to someone... reach out to me, I'll help you.
You are only making your life worse by spreading more hate and sadness.
Dov someone doesnt understand the running joke...
is it me or does his hair look like the things business put outside their buildings or at train stations so birds don't land on them.
what happen to his head?
+Axel Roach 1989
LOL
The first one was really easy.
Blue dress: Secretary, burger flipper, or janitor: Only career options.
When I saw an Asian engineer couldn't get the first trick in 3 seconds, I knew it was fake
Radke32 racist.
+Sungalady no he's not being racist he's being stereotypical
1st one took me like 3.14 seconds
Got the first one instantly, like obviously if you leave a line down the middle empty it can't make any full lines
The second one took a few seconds to find the 3 move solution but it was still obvious that you were supposed to salvage the "dangles" rather than get rid of them
first one took like 3 seconds
second one also took 3 seconds how was that hard
+Alexis Kis when I saw the "hard part" I figured it out in like 2 seconds and actually pounded my chest with a feeling of intellectual superiority.
Why not move on to the Riemann Hypothesis then? I'm sure that'll keep you occupied for more than three seconds.
I did it on paper in less than 10 secs
I watched this for 40 seconds, and I already have the need to punch this guy in the face.
#NOPE
That's okay. I still think you're great.
I love you, TreyMusah
the 90's called and want that hairstyle back
Right. So, this is the part where I say "oh, that's strange... they told me they want their HACKNEYED JOKE BACK," right?
Can we just skip to the part where you figure out I'm awesome and these tricks are rad and we're friends and we meet over beers at some convention?
chill bro you are awesome *raises glass* cheers
the vid was nice btw
Works for me :-D **secretly pays your bar tab before leaving**
I solved each of these in 5 seconds then showed it to my little sister and she got it almost instantly, I'm 14 and she's 12 why I this so hard for other people.
+Da_nerdy_noob Know what's funny? Nobody cares.
+ich du I second this. Drinking kills your brain.
lol I felt so smart when I got the first one way faster than they did, but on the second puzzle I was quick to a 4 move configuration making the 3 boxes diagonal and thought I was a boss.. x.x
"Now who can beat 6 moves?"
I can!
Lol like Ikr
are you a broney UnCommentator
Cool Steel probably...
I could do it in 3 moves
UnCommentator God you guys are so fucking gay.
Wtf is that hair
+Toburgy www.google.com/search?safe=active&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1278&bih=765&q=guile&oq=guile&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1531.1918.0.2005.5.5.0.0.0.0.137.463.1j3.4.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..1.4.461.myI96cm6qaE
Hahahahahahhahahahahahh Omg this is too much
Wtf is this world with 30 sec ads and no skip
😂😂😂😂
A mistake
I realized after about 5 seconds that for the first puzzle, if you can find 3 squares that block all 3 in a row, then fill all the other squares and win.
1st is easy 3 in each opposing corner
last one i had 4 moves
me too
me too
3 :(
yup the corners
I couldn't get past 10 seconds with that hair. That is quite the added difficulty to solving these.
That's a pretty dumb reason to give up, but if you're truly scared of a hairstyle from half-a-decade ago, try a more recent episode... anything from the last 4 years should do: ruclips.net/user/scamschoolvideos
Erm, so I just went on the latest video on your channel; "How to Play Napkin Chess (& Always Win)" - same silly hair!
+HTCMichael lol it's a remix
+Scam School if this wasn't filmed in 2003 and you weren't in junior high school this hair style is in no way acceptable especially for an adult haha.
Did anybody notice he has spiked hair?
I think that might be it, sherlock. I think you got it.
I'm confused as to why that man has hair that looks like hedgehog...
But which came first, the hair style or the hedgehog?
The hedgehog. Duh... Who else could've invented that hairstyle. ;)
It's very simple. People are all different and can be who they want to be. well at least in most "Western Countries".
Did the first one in less than 10 seconds, and the second one in less than a minute. They were pretty easy to be honest.
Solved both easy
Yeah lol maybe its because they are drinking...
is this guys hair cut is from like the 1990's...
Galley415 only if you mean this 1991: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guile_(Street_Fighter)
I finally figured out the 3 move thing, before he showed it. But my first thought, as soon as he laid out the rules was 4 moves. Think diagonally, center square is left alone. That was my 4 move solution.
Scam school challenges can be so fucking easy, and it's just outraging to see dumb people try and solve these puzzles but do such stupid mistakes. I've gotten both from the getgo.
Tipon2424 yes, yes. you're very smart and they're very dumb. Got it.
the one girl had nearly solved the box one off the go! But yeah, this was kind of pathetic for these individuals...
When you have the pressure its harder, but yea, solved it before you said any of them done. And I'm a stupid kid
the last one is so easy
+Guy Walls jump into a few remix episodes, then! ruclips.net/p/PLHprOf0KRyMSoSA9wsgaPEqRoNNsZ_D9z
Kk
+Guy Walls i got it in 4 moves..
I always wondered what Bart did when he grew up. Glad he kept his scamming nature intact.
The first one
X X -
X - X
- X X
Solution for puzzle 1
x = where to place it
o= empty
x|x|o
o|x|x
o|o|x
That's only 5 x's, you need to have one more in the bottom left corner.
I know but I forgot to put it.
You have three in a row from top left to bottom right.
@KidGamerNx: ***** gotcha, you've been had.
lol puzzle one was easy start by placing 4 coins into a cross + don't put one in the middle. then diagonally place one at either corner. took a minute. now going to see how long it takes these.
coin = o
o|o|x
o|x|o
x|o|o
I like how he isn't arrogant nor a prick with these demonstrations.
it toke me 30s for the first one
wth this was sooo fucking easy i got them both instantly and im 14
+kiran darji right on.
very swag dude
+kiran darji so did I, didn't get it in 5 seconds though like sadow_slayer did apparently.
+kiran darji same
+kiran darji That's why you set up the puzzle in a place where people have been drinking a while!
Brian, I just want to say, I am a minor, but you've literally gotten me 37 drinks now, I have a napkin soon to be piece of paper to keep track of how many drinks people have bought me. Thanks, and FYI, no lie digging the hair
God his fucking hair is ridiculous, and the whole theme is so teenangers oriented
BlueBerry14 shhh... Come over here. **tucks in corner with +blueberry14**
look man, I get it: You don't like my hair, you're intimidated by the louder-than-you'd-like style of the show, and you seem to feel like this puzzle is somehow beneath you. I hear you loud and clear. But do me a favor, man: Don't be that guy who can only think he's powerful by taking things away from someone else. You're better than that.
You're incredibly smart and talented. You can do anything, so here's my request: _Be anything, literally anything other than that guy on the internet shitting on puzzle videos_.
You're capable of so much more than this. And I can't wait to see what you do with yourself.
xoxo,
Brian
Scam School T-thanks man ! Nothing will stop me now !
BlueBerry14 **high five**
theese are so dumb, i figured out the first one in 5 sec, and the second with 3 moves in 30 sec, yeah mind bending puzzles of course
Tamás Hercz looks like you graduate on to the really hard stuff: ruclips.net/p/PLHprOf0KRyMSoSA9wsgaPEqRoNNsZ_D9z
Same
The key to the first one is not where you put the quarters but where you put the blank spaces.
I solved the first one in seconds. oops
+Kelyn Tay congrats.
Same
+Kelyn Tay
Yeah, he started doing it with the demonstration.
+Kelyn Tay
Yeah. Literally when he told me the instructions I had the solution.
I had already been thinking of the solution to something harder he might have asked, like creating boxes by moving the sticks or something. Really disappointing.
I figured the first one out right before he gave the solution but I got the last one in seconds
I hate his hair...
Nicoulas Hauzen oh, calm down. Quit being an old man about it. Come here and let me buy you a beer like an adult.
Nicoulas Hauzen looks like a hedgehog
Dick Tator Right? Though I was going more for this guy: www.google.com/search?safe=off&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1524&bih=725&q=guile&oq=guile&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1759.2183.0.2258.5.5.0.0.0.0.68.169.5.5.0.msedr...0...1ac.1.64.img..0.5.169.UO93_E2Plrk
you need to grow more hair for this. sorry.
Awesome murder weapon
First one, too easy. 2nd one, same. I shall be the queen of free beers if it's that easy!! And I only need my brains. Hmph!
stop torturing you hair pls.
+Jagger Bombs oops-- someone hasn't seen a video from the last 3 years... Or my TV show...
Scam School ooops someone is defending the most wanker haircut of our generation.
Welcome to the internet age bud.
+Jagger Bombs indeed: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b4/bc/19/b4bc1978446144bc1cdc9b753bf06c9e.jpg
+Jagger Bombs Rekt
These videos are so cringy
PSA: reconsider your use of the word "cringy." It's 2016's "Don't have a cow, man," and soon you'll be just as embarrassed as you are now of the phrase "epic fail."
relevant data: www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22cringe%22%2C%20%22epic%20fail%22&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B5
You're very defensive buddy! Chillax
That reply was a little cringy too....
then why do you watch?
Nyxx xxyN Clicked on them. Stopped watching them now. So don't worry.
yall talking about his hair and im here wondering how theyre overwhelmed by those two easy puzzles jeez
as soon as the in video commercial came on, I disliked and left.
+Martin Volle you are truly a just and powerful warrior. godspeed.
But you still came back and commented....
+Martin Volle Its basically a online tv show, I dont what you were expecting
You realize that they put the ad in there because they are being sponsored by that conpany. The company is basically paying them to put the ad in there. If they didn't put ads in I doubt they would have any sponsors and wouldn't be able to produce high quality videos. Win win situation.
+David Crawford congrats you just restated what ads are
I can't stand his hair
+humudu that's okay. I think you're great.
+Scam School yeah don't mind that comment, i just thought i was going to make a joke since your hair "stands" but realizing it weren't so funny i just deleted the joke part and posted like a fool. It's cool when people stand out.
I got the first one right, my guess for the second one was 4 moves move the two at the top to the bottom right to make a box and the two at the bottom to the top left to make another box :) hope I'm right?
shyt ;(
I got four as well but he bested us sadly :(
hilariousdjw lol nuuuuuuuuu
both puzzles are very easy because there are multiple ways of solving them.
I got both right on my first try.
I got the second one really quickly
And it's so obvious it can be done in 3 moves!
I saw the answer right when he revealed the second one. I think I was lucky that my eyes just stumbled over the answer
My first thought was: since you cant put them in a row, just place one left in the box and one right in its box haha. Then figuring it out in like 10 seconds flat. the second one was pretty doable aswell :)
Good to see that Roger Clutz from the old Doug - Nickelodeon cartoon is doing well for himself
I was on a Disney cruise and was given the second puzzle with the 3 squares. I didn't figure it out, but a boy did. We were told to only make 3 squares out of 3 moves.
