To be fair the goblin 4 times faster than you on the most basic setting, meaning that from scientific data on average human swimming speed being 2 mph, that the goblin at the lowest setting is going 8 mph. On average people can run 5.9 miles per hour (for 20 and 40 year olds) if they’re not in shape. So even if you make to the shore the goblin will still catch and eat you as it’s significantly faster meaning you’re eaten anyway. But let’s per say look at what a goblin actually looks like. It’s usually depicted as small and scrawny tricksters using cunning and devious devious to get their way. Let’s per say for how the game works is that if you’re too slow getting out of the water you get shanked by the goblin and eaten but if you’re quick enough to get out of the water you can fend the goblin off. That’s the only way that the game would make sense in this context if you get to the shore before the goblin reaches your location. Just if you wanted to know.

In this case you would only have to memorize the mass of the sun, as no other planet big enough to have a circular lake has also more than 50 watermelons
You could try to hold guess the weight of a melon and then hold it up to the sun where the sun and the melon are the same size. Now the melon and sun suddenly weigh the same because they are clearly the exact same mass. Duh.
I couldn't get this strategy to work manually, but what if you go right next to the centre, and then head directly away from the goblin on a zigzag path so the goblin keeps doubling back on itself, since the shortest path to where you're headed switches very quickly between clockwise to anticlockwise? Close to the centre this should be easy since small movements from you create big movements in your nearest shore point, it gets harder as you get closer to shore. But maybe once it stops working you're close enough at that point that you can make it... Edit: Upon closer inspection, the point at which it stops working is the edge of that inner circle. My implementation can escape 3.5 and 4.0, but can't quite get 4.2
You're intuition is right, you can keep the monster behind you by moving left and right up until the 1/4 mark. Thx you helped me understand the problem. The part your missing is that starting from there you can go straight (perpendicular to the center circle) instead of traveling the shortest distance to the coast. Which allows you to go from a monster at 4.18x to 4.603x (look at the blog post).
@@mirkovodegel3120 if the goblin is at the exact opposite of the lake, you can cause him to prefer to go clockwise or anti-clockwise just by stepping left or right. you can force him to change his mind again and again while still having extra speed to move away until his angular speed is faster then yours (at 1/4 the distance of the center).
I love that the instant you get on land, even if you’re an inch away from the goblin, he just goes “Oh, I guess you beat me, have a nice day” and let’s you leave unharmed.
@@spacetrainbaby3737 The goblin in the video intro and title is the free-ski yeti, and in free-ski the yeti is meant to be inescapable but if you hold down F you go really fast and escape it.

Actually, you can just press F once, that toggles the "fast mode". Then, you have to keep going down until the distance meter wraps around to the beginning. The counter begins to count down to 0 after you've reached 2000m. That's also when The Abominable Snowman starts to chase you. He stops chasing you at around -120m. You can go up from the start of the game to find him jumping in one place, but when you go too close he will eat you. Also, you can download a modern version of SkiFree that works on the newest versions of Windows from the official website that you can find here: ski.ihoc.net/
Funny thing is that I have actually lived through this puzzle. When I was a kid, I was swimming in my aunt’s pool, and then I realized that her massive dog was watching me from the border. Whenever I tried to escape, he got there much faster. I was lost af lol
That's actually my one gripe with the video, of ALL the goblin related material that is available the author had to choose the Yeti sprite from that one ski game.
Just move back and forth slightly over the center, the goblin will have to run halfway around the pond over and over constantly while you are barely moving. The goblin gets exhausted and faints. You are good to go. Reality: 1 Math: 0
I faced this question a while ago in the form of a swan and a predator. I had accidentally solved this problem without knowing the real answer, but had pursued a different method based on the information given in the riddle - You could swim in circles of the pond/lake in order to create a flow, which if done enough times would help you accelerate faster than the entity you're trying to avoid. Circling was the answer, but it was came upon using a different perspective.
Idk how, but the graphics of the game are a beautiful mix with that jazz sound. It makes me think of old noir movies. The colors of the scene make it look like night time which adds to the great atmosphere of this video. I don't know how but this is just art
Based on the movement rule of the goblin, you could swim in a perfect line away from the goblin and he’d never be able to move one way or another. Theoretically correct.
@@FatalBlow113 I watched the video. I’m saying the goblin is programmed to move in the direction that will put him the closest distance from you. If you start from the center and move in a perfectly straight line away from the goblin, then, technically, the goblin could move either direction as the distance from him to you if he moves left will be the exact same as the distance from him to you if he moves right.

00:00:26 yes, just swim in a circle around the middle about 30% of the way to the edge (i can't remember the exact number) and when you are opposite the goblin, swim quickly to shore and then you will narrowly escape
Found myself thinking about that video today - watched it some time ago and it jumped on my mind while looking at the lake. And then YT decided to recommend it to me once again a few hours later. I'm scared.
My "try before I continued watching": You should go for one direction, but then as the goblin is moving, exploit that by actually going further and further away from the point where you were originally going to land. That should give you some extra time, and might let you win
If the goblin always move optimally to get closer to you, isn't it possible to move away from the goblin, observe the path he begins to take around the circle, and then correct your path to make the other direction around the lake shorter for the goblin? And then continue this over and over again with the goblin running back and forth along the opposite shore?
Before watching the solution, I got ~7.28 or 1+2pi as the fastest the goblin could travel. Here's my math I assumed that your velocity is 1 unit distance/unit time and the goblins velocity is vg(for velocity of the goblin) units/unit time. Using some calculus I got to the same conclusion you did that you can go in a circle of radius 1/vg and gain distance on the goblin. My initial plan was to go in a spiral that started by moving in the opposite direction from the goblin and then moving at the perfect angle that would keep the goblin on the opposite side of while moving as far away from the center in dt seconds. I found that once you hit 1/vg units away from the center, you couldn't move farther away from the center without the goblin gaining on you. Anyway, the point is you're 1/vg units from the center, at which point your best bet is to just swim for the shore. You have to travel (1-1/vg) units, which takes you (1-1/vg) units of time and the goblin has to travel 2pi units, which takes it 2pi/vg units of time. So at max goblin speed, 1-1/vg = 2pi/vg +1/vg = +1/vg 1 = (2pi+1)/vg vg = 2pi+1 Correct me if anything is wrong
All of this is contingent on whether or not you can sprint to safety once you get to shore, but realistically, that's not where the story ends but where the danger truly begins. If you actually have to do that much effort to swim around the lake to out pace the goblin, by the time you actually make it to shore, you'll be too exhausted to sprint, and thus incapable of getting away.
That is some serious confidence on the swimmer thinking they can escape on land when the goblin is moving over 100 miles an hour in parallel to the swimmer

@@paulmahoney7619 yeah, in water you swim 4x slower than the goblin runs, but on land you run faster than the goblin
"Even knowing the solution, it still takes a lot of skill."
Yeah, I can't swim for nuts.
how do you play the game?
this is what my maths teacher said i'd use maths for in the future
i've got him to thank for keeping me alive today
Found myself thinking about that video today - watched it some time ago and it jumped on my mind while looking at the lake.
And then YT decided to recommend it to me once again a few hours later.
I'm scared.
Wow i didn't know the Skifree yeti was a goblin this whole time!
I can easily escape the goblin by summoning a Goblin Slayer.
DID SOMEONE SAY GOBLINS?!?

Bold of you to assume that i am no match for a goblin in hand to hand.
This is actually helpful if your angry brother right outside the swimming pool is trying to get you.
I remember him from this ski game, he always ate you at the end of the track
I thought we were going to be presented by a big math problem but we get the answer pretty fast.
That’s the frickin yeti in the windows 98 ski game lol
My "try before I continued watching": You should go for one direction, but then as the goblin is moving, exploit that by actually going further and further away from the point where you were originally going to land. That should give you some extra time, and might let you win
If the goblin always move optimally to get closer to you, isn't it possible to move away from the goblin, observe the path he begins to take around the circle, and then correct your path to make the other direction around the lake shorter for the goblin? And then continue this over and over again with the goblin running back and forth along the opposite shore?
I would just dive and goblin couldnt see me
Awe I was bummed, I saw the goblin from the old ski game and thought you'd cover that.
Isn't this the golbin/yetifrom a very old skiing game?
Remember your speed running tactics and wall clip.
that 'goblin' (a yeti btw) is a character from some great old 8 bit ski game. good old times. that yeti got me so many times.
FreeSki not FreeSwim.
Very cool, please keep making videos :)
idgaf about this, I want to know if you can escape the skifree guy.
Yep! Just press F to go into fast mode. Mind blown
But you will be still eaten, because you are outside, and goblin will eat you, so its impossible to escape
Joke’s on you, I can barely swim so I’ll drown in the lake. The goblin can’t catch me regardless
I was the goblin the whole tiiiime
Will the Gnoblin Gnomed me as well?
If SkiFree has taught me anything, just hold down [F]
Imagine trying to escape with 5-10 Goblins with a lake 10x Enormous than the other.
I remember playing Ski Free on my dad’s old computer when I was a kid, along with Pipe Dream.
Great video anyways, cheers. ✌️
Reloads remington after blasting the goblin
you beat the shit out of the goblin, easy
*record scratch* *freeze frame* yep, that me. you're probably wondering how I got myself into this situation
*Well KEEP WONDERIN', PAL! I ain't explainin' NOTHIN'! This ain't a movie! X^D*
Now there's a twist, it can swim!
Then drown it
Before watching the solution, I got ~7.28 or 1+2pi as the fastest the goblin could travel. Here's my math
I assumed that your velocity is 1 unit distance/unit time and the goblins velocity is vg(for velocity of the goblin) units/unit time.
Using some calculus I got to the same conclusion you did that you can go in a circle of radius 1/vg and gain distance on the goblin. My initial plan was to go in a spiral that started by moving in the opposite direction from the goblin and then moving at the perfect angle that would keep the goblin on the opposite side of while moving as far away from the center in dt seconds. I found that once you hit 1/vg units away from the center, you couldn't move farther away from the center without the goblin gaining on you. Anyway, the point is you're 1/vg units from the center, at which point your best bet is to just swim for the shore. You have to travel (1-1/vg) units, which takes you (1-1/vg) units of time and the goblin has to travel 2pi units, which takes it 2pi/vg units of time. So at max goblin speed,
1-1/vg = 2pi/vg
+1/vg = +1/vg
1 = (2pi+1)/vg
vg = 2pi+1
Correct me if anything is wrong
thumbnail is monster from Ski Free
ahhhh. it's been a couple of years since i saw that... like 25 years
Goblins are small if there's less than 5 just kick em
um,how i can run it? it will be nice.
Check out the "Basic Installation" section of the GitHub link in the description.
Richie Rich thanks
You have to swim to shore first
@@jay-tbl He means the game itself.
All of this is contingent on whether or not you can sprint to safety once you get to shore, but realistically, that's not where the story ends but where the danger truly begins. If you actually have to do that much effort to swim around the lake to out pace the goblin, by the time you actually make it to shore, you'll be too exhausted to sprint, and thus incapable of getting away.
That sir is a yetti, I know because it scarred me for life as a child on those digital slopes
If you're faster than the goblin on land, then doesn't it seem logical that more likely than not, you can take him in a fight?
maybe he's armed
I know for a fact it has at least two arms
You're faster than a bear on land. "Goblins" aren't always small in mythology.
@@WowItsErin There's no way you could outrun a bear. They're so much faster.
@@anotherhuman2414 Alright, fine, a hippopotamus then.
Something slow but bulky.
Idk why this shows up in my recommended now but i just want to say that this background music is used in a furry porn game as well
Link it
Link it
@@thisman1375 its called a cathouse tale. development canceled though, sadly
Just call goblin slayer
_Can you escape the goblin?_
*Heck yeah I can!*
_[Math puzzle]_
*Heck no I can't!*
Why use math if you could drown the goblin since he can't swim in the first place ?
That is some serious confidence on the swimmer thinking they can escape on land when the goblin is moving over 100 miles an hour in parallel to the swimmer
