Hey guys :) I see that the first puzzle causes a lot of confusion. That means that I didnt explain it well enough in the video and because of that I want to explain it better now for the people who think that the riddle is illogical or doesnt make sense ;) The only correct answer is the first one. Explanation: All the other objects are missing a trait that is shared by the other four. Explanation 1. The object on the far right has a smaller size from top to bottom than the other four, which share the same size. (Missing size that all the others share) 2. The second from the right is yellow while the other four are red. (Missing color that all the others share) 3. The object which is second from the left is not outlined in green while the other four are. (Missing green outline that all the others share) 4. The object that is second from the left is a circle while the other four objects are quadrilaterals (Missing shape that all the others share) The left most object is the odd one out because it is not missing a visual trait which is shared by the other objects. (Now you could argue that it could also e.g be the middle one because its not outlined. But thats not true. If you look at the group, you see that it is normal in the group to miss one trait that the other objects share. That means, not being outlined(missing one trait) doesnt make the object odd. You dont stand out for missing one trait if everybody else also misses one trait. Only the first one is not missing a trait which is shared by the others. And it is the right answer) I hope it makes sense to everybody now. I tried my best! If you know a better explanation feel free to post it. I actually like that puzzle a lot and I am a bit confused about all the hate against it. Thanks for watching and reading this long explanation :)
The first one does not work. As the given solution shows, you can find something that is special for every single one of them (the first one being special for being the only one with no special trait). Odd one out just says that you have to find one piece that does not match a description every other piece does match. First one: Every piece has a unique trait, just the first one hasn't -> First one is odd, valid answer Second one: Every piece is a square, just not the second one -> Second one is odd, valid answer Third one: Every piece has an outline, just not the third one -> Third one is odd, valid answer Fourth one: Every piece is red, just not the fourth one -> Fourth one is odd, valid answer Fifth one: Every piece has roughly the same size, just not the fifth one -> Fifth one is odd, valid answer As there is no real scale of "oddity" for these things, no one is to decide what the single right answer is (with a little exception further into the text), so every one of the listed ones has to be right. If someone has to decide what the right answer is because there are multiple possible answers the question can't be answered by pure logic and thus is flawed. You either have to give additional info based on what kind of oddity you want the questioned people to answer or you have to make sure that all except one piece have something in common with at least one other piece. All this on an non-arbitrary level as "Out of this list, only the second one starts with a letter from the second half of the alphabet" of course, else it won't work ever. But if there are multiple solutions on an almost similar level of complexity, and I would argue this as given in the first picture, one can't figure out one single right answer.
The first one is the correct answer because it's the only one you can't easily make an argument for as being the correct answer. You could argue it should be the second one because it's the only one that's round. You could argue it should be the third one because it's the only one not outlined. You could argue it should be the fourth one because it's the only one not red. You could argue it should be the fifth one because it's the only one that's different in size. But because there can only be one right answer, if the last four are all equally valid propositions, none of them can be right. Thus the correct answer is the first. My only issue is that the first four didn't seem sufficiently uniform in size to set apart the fifth.
>> The only correct answer is the first one. No - it is not "the only" correct answer. It is only correct in the context of 'shared traits'. Every other shape can be considered to be the odd one out in some other context, and since the puzzle does not specify the context it is arrogant of the puzzle creator to claim that the the only valid context is the one he had in mind when creating the puzzle. Leaving the context unspecified is a common failing of "odd one out" puzzles, and will always result in arguments.
"inverted T from the tip of the boomerang shaped gold" They would be the same shape (right isosceles triangles), but they wouldn't be the same size. The ones at the top would be twice the size of the others. I think ricardo meant cut down from the point to make 2 pentagons (one right-handed and one left-handed) and then slice each one into 2 pieces with a cut parallel to the table.
Most are looking at it as a two-dimensional figure. First make one cut parallel to the table (as Paul said), making two equal layers. With the two slices still stacked, cut from the point down. You will have four identical pieces in two cuts.
Except they wouldn't be identical if you look at the gold bar the sides have a slope. So the two pieces made from the bottom layer would be bigger than the ones made from the top layer.
*How to Solve the Gold Bar Riddle:* Change them to money and split the money by four. Solved! That is the only way to get the exact same amount (without being a professional: gold cutter, mathematician, logician, and miracle maker)
or we can split it in three equal parts ( the three equal parts r obvious there )and then we cut each part to 8 little parts. This way we get 8 x 3 = 24 parts that we can divide by 4, so each person gets 6 parts.
i got a different solution, and thats if you cut the bar down the middle, then put the two pieces together to form a rectangle, then cut down the middle of the bar longways
For the gold bar I would.... Kill 1 person and then split the gold bar into 3 Edit: holy cow 74 likes how I never got this much in my lifeee Edit: are you guys crazy why would u like this comment I'm so proud of all of you ;-;
picture 3: Or, OR! rather than that way with tons of unnecessary cuts, once through the middle, and cut it sideways aligned with the 270 degree corner in the middle.
That doesn't work, the two top triangles are larger than the two bottom ones. If you think about the shape as 3 squares, you can see that the bottom triangles get half of a square and the top two get 2 halves each.
The first riddle is dumb (unsolvable): So one is a circle ( ok that’s different) One is very small ( well that’s different) One has another color ( that’s different too) One has no border (guess what ... That’s different too) And one is literally different from all of the above. The goal here is to find one with a different trait from all of the others or , said differently, find one wich does not have a trait that the others have in common, wich is true for every objet here. I hope I was clear enough.
If you count "does not have any unique traits" as a unique trait, then its unique trait is also that it's a paradox. So it has two unique traits - it's a paradox, and its unique trait is not having unique traits. But that means it's the only object with two unique traits, making it have 3, and 4, and 5... infinite unique traits. The only object with that many unique traits. The others are all different in one regard, while the first is different in infinitely many. That's what makes it truly unique.
Just imagine being put in a room full of mentally ill people The first puzzle is just like that. The first shape doesnt belong there because it has no special characteristics.
+Yayo.chan That is totally different. If you are comparing the mental state of a mentally ill (or even just mental disabilities for this matter), person and a "sane" person, then of course you would be the odd one out. Your example is like comparing different shapes that are all red to a red banana there's an obvious difference becuase they are NOTHING alike. However, the shape dilema is different. Using the "mentally ill" example again, instead of comparing the mental state, compare the mental disabilities. One person, the "sane" person, has something simple like a small case of dyslexia, one has OCD, one has ADHD, one has Autism, and one has Tourettes. Arguably, most would probably say that of those examples the dyslexia is the least "severe". So, the "sane" person would be the odd one out right? No. Becuase it's still a disorder. At that, it's classified under a "learning" disability just like ADHD, Autism, and Tourettes can be. So, OCD, right? Well, no. Because OCD is a disorder you can "develop" (while I'm aware genetics also play a role). Just like certain forms of Tourettes. So, maybe Autism? No. Because just like ADHD and Tourettes, you are born with it and most symptoms start during very early childhood. Tourettes? Nope. Tourettes is linked with other disorders sucj as OCD and ADHD. So, while one might stand out right away, just as the shapes, if you look deeper into it, then they all are unique, similar, and different in their own ways while also ALL being able to be classified into a group... (Alright. Mental disorders was a terrible comparison to just shapes. You get the basic idea though).
The last one may have been easier for two reasons: 1.It's designed for a different kind of intelligence,like the goldbar thing being for more visual people and the last one more mathemathical. 2. He tried to make you feel better by saying was the hardest but really was the easiest, make you feel better after failing all of the others.
3 Ok so that one... leaves 3 pieces... ... That one leaves four pieces Maybe I'm in to something... My answer: 3D cut in half horizontally and vertically. wait
For the third, i came up with a different answer i tought that you could cut the bar in half in the horizontal way (like a piece of bread when you make a sandwich) and the cut those pieces in half on the vertical way
That's what I thought too but then again it said all should be identical. By doing that you have 2 pairs of the same shapes but those two pairs are different from one another. All should be the same shapes.
I found an easier solution for 3. Think of a square, then cut 2 diagonal lones from corner to corner like an 'X'. Turn the square 45° left or right and remove the bottom piece. Ta'da! If you want to go deeper if the edges are rounded or sloped, you'll have to understand how big the rounded edge is, or what the degrees are if sloped, then shave off the edge, then cut the remaining gold shavings into 4 pieces.
may you give examples? and please don't mention the first one, as it already has been discussed plenty of times. even Riddle Channel made a post clarifying the answer on this one. furthermore, just rotating or mirroring the solution for the second picture doesn't count either
Well aside the first one which has only correct solutions and the third one where multiple solutions were shown, you can solve the second one by cutting in the middle and stacking it (and cutting a second time). And for the third, well... very technically 20 is still a solution just a much worse one that 43.
shadowcloud1994 the first riddle has exactly one correct answer which was given in the video. with cutting I assume you refer to the third riddle. if you cut it in half and then stack it to cut it in any other direction, you won't get identical pieces. as for the last one: well, 20 wouldn't explain the changes of the outer numbers. you see, all your criticisms are plain wrong.
The gold bar one was made unnecessarily difficult to cut. The video suggests that 6 cuts will need to be made... Three straight line cuts is all that you need... Cut the bar in half on the thin plane to get two L shapes with the exact same dimensions as each other. Now cut these pieces in half by cutting along the axis of symmetry. You will end up with four identical pieces. The first one is questionable and not specific enough. You really need to step up your game...
I agree with your creative solution to the gold bar. The first one is specific enough it has only one viable outcome. You can argue all of the others are the odd one out, because of them having a unique trait, thus they follow a pattern. That pattern excludes the first shape making it the odd one out.
Cameron Rudolph gold bars in fiction are usually shaped like this /___\ , if you cut it like you said, the top "L" would be less than the bottom "L". also in the video the way the bar is drawn dies point in the direction of the /___\ shape
To just get peices equal in size I can do it in two cuts (the last cut being made over both the first pieces after rearanging). They does not become equal in shape though.
Yoo, I solved them all! The matches riddle was a little confusing because you had to actually touch two matches in order to create a minus. The vertical match could not be lifted without either touching the horizontal one or carefully pulling it out, without the upper one to roll away. Great video. :)
I didn’t get only the second one Btw. Idk why the last picture was the easiest one for me and the second one was the hardest, it should be going from easiest to hardest, but it was otherwise
solution 3 is wrong because the sides are beveled and by cutting it like that the middle down part would be the heaviest then comes the one above and then the two side ones would be identical so wrong again
How about this, cut from the to centre corners, now we have two even mirrored pieces. Now cut through the pieces from left to right on the other axis, assuming this gold bar is 3d.
What he doesnt take into account is that people look at things differently. He looks at the one that stands out the least and calls it the one that stands out and says that's the only answer, which is bullshit.
For the third one all I did was, 1. Cut the piece horizontally in the middle, so now you have 2 identical pieces of the same size 2. Cut both of the pieces right in the middle 3. DONE! You've got your 4 identical pieces shared between 4 people
First of all, no if you cut it horizontally you get three, not four. But if you cut it vertically which I think you mean you get two trapezoids. And if you cut them in he middle you get either a square and a smaller trapezoid or a big and small different size trapezoids
Drew Does stuff okok look, I wrote this 2 months ago, I've read all the comments, I know you can't do that method because it just doesn't work out. I get it, thanks for the input though
For the second one, you can do it in 3 lines: 1 starting at the bottom going to the left and going to the left for about a hundred feet. Then, you go to the right all the way until you hit the circles, continue going another hundred or so, and go to the left again. If you line it up just right, you won't need the 4th.
Hii I just discovered your channel and its awesome, keep up with those riddles. I realy enjoy them. :) And btw the first one, doesnt work, how is it possible to find the odd one if ervery one is odd? Or didnt I get this right?
with #1: -The normal was the most common occurrence (blue outline, square, red) -There was only one that was exactly like that -The others were all off by exactly 1 ∴ The ''normal'' one is the most odd in the group.
In the gold bar one, you could just have cut it in 1 straight row in the middle from both ways, that would have costed you less time cutting and also simplified the cutting.
Cut from the left point to the right point, which should cross the center point to leave one big triangle and two small ones. Bisect the large one vertically to turn that one into two smaller triangles. Should be four equal sized triangles.
No, the two triangles on the top are twice as large as the bottom ones. If you think about the shape as 3 squares put together you can see that the bottom shapes each get half of the area of one square and the top two get the same area as one of the 3 squares.
Okay, the first and the last one doesn't make sense mathematically. Find the odd one based on what property? If you don't specify I can come up with an arbitery property and make any of them the odd one, for exmaple I draw a vertical line after the forth shape and say that the odd one is the fifth because that's the only one standing right of the line, or I pick a number which is slightly smaller then the area of the largest one and call the largest shape the odd one because that's the only shape the area of which exceeds that number. And talking about the last one any number can be correct. Let's say the numbers at the vertices of the triangle are the variables of the function f. So basically all we know is that: f(1,3,7)=22 and f(9,6,2)=21. And I'm sure there are at least continuum many functions that satisfty these conditions so I can just pick any of them, they don't even have to be real valued or their range doesn't even have to be numbers at at all I could replace the question mark with a god damn cat and still be correct. You picked a relatively simple "pattern" (function) f(x,y,z)= yz+x which is perfectly okay, but that's not the only good solution.
The last one is fine, and you're incorrect that there are a 'continuum' of answers. We can easily go through each and come up with a sum, difference, product etc. and the only one that, for both, come out to the correct answers is (from top clockwise, y, x, z) is xz+y. It's not about the individual, it's about pattern solving. It's a classical IQ test as IQ tends to attempt to deduce your ability not to solve complicated problems, but pick up on patterns within numbers. You get graded well on the former, you get admitted into MENSA for the latter. (Yay, MENSA, so useful) The first one is mentally stupid, though.
Alright, but who told you you can only use the four basic mathematical operations? You have to realize that these operations are nothing but functions, specifically +: R^2 ->R, where R is the set of real numbers. And they didn't specify which pattern I have to find. If it's still not clear then try to continue this series: 2,4,... Well, if you write 6 you're correct because you add 2 to the previous number but 8 can also be correct if you look at it as a geometric series. Or 16 is fine as well if you always square the previous number of the series. And I can easily come up with a pattern which makes 10 correct for the third number too. I know it sounds strange and it's a bit forced but as a mathematician I just wanted to point out that this problem is mathematically not well defined, though in everyday life it's perfectly fine.
I get you, this guy doesn't define his riddles properly. A better question for the last would have been: Find which basic operation is used to complete the third example. Even that has a few problems, but it's better than 'WATS THE 3RD ONE GUYS?' I recognized it for what it was because of IQ tests that I took as a kid which is... Well, needless to say IQ tests aren't about intelligence at a certain point.
On the gold bar one, you can do it in 2 strokes, one horizontally across the middle, making 2 identical triangles and one big one, then cut the big one in half, forming 2 triangles of equal length to the others
I thought of it exactly like this. But after noticing it carefully makes our answer wrong. The upper one big triangle after getting cut into half will not create same triangles as below ones. Upper ones will be greater than down ones.
Why so many dislikes? People are so short tempered.

Most of them are way to arbitrary, like saying: which number is unique: 2 , 3 ,4 ,5..... it is 4, because its the only number that can divide itself 2 times.
the Goldbar does not work I'm afraid. That shape riddle only works with 2 dimesional Objects: 1.) if we go by your drawing, than the bottom of the bar is bigger then the top, which results in angled sides, only the left and right pieces are equal in volume. 2:) If we say that the top and bottom are equal, than there is a more effective solution: cut the bar into 4 layers of the same thickness, that need 3 cuts, your solution needs 6 so try again. I qoute "Don't cut if more often than it would need to"
To riddle 3 is a much better solution. If you cut the whole thing horizontally and than both of the shapes in the middle you have a much easier way. Actually our solutions are both wrong when you count the bottom parts as havier cause the edges are beveled, but than there arent any solutions. Trust me im genius 🤗
If you cut it horizontally, where the line touches the point at the lower middle, you get three pieces. If you did it vertically you’d get to sets of big and small trapezoids. Not so genius
I think for the first one, it'd be more reasonable to pick the square in the middle because it's the only one without the blue frames, rather than the first one being "not odd"; therefore, making it stand out.
Yeah, but isn't the yellow one just as odd, and the small one, and the circle one? In fact, the only one that is not odd is the one on the left, because it is the only one that shares all four traits, size, shape, color, and border state, with 4 of the 5 pictures. The others all have one trait that they share with 0 of the four, making them all equally odd. Only the left picture is unequally odd, making it the most odd.
I got all of them right except number three Even though I got it wrong I still believe my reasoning was right Heres what I did 1.Slice the gold down the sideways middle 2.Then slice that piece down the sideways middle again I checked it by giving those value 9 for the long lines and 4.5 for the other lines (I knew this would be a square because the bottom points of the picture meet at the same point) I did 9 times 9 which gave me 81 for the value of it as it's entire self I did 4.5 times 4.5 for the value of the missing piece which gave me 20.25 (One fourth of 81) I subtracted 20.25 from 81 giving me 60.75 I divided that by two giving me 30.375 (Step 1) Finally I divided that by two giving me 15.1875 (Step 2) So that's how I solved this riddle does anyone disagree with this other solution that for question number three
Riddle 1 is wrong! You could say, that the last one is the correct awnser, because you just say, that the first square is bigger! And the yelow is slightly larger, than the first red
I have a riddle, why does this video not have more likes? Answer: Because RUclips is broken and recommends things that take no work (Minecraft) and dosent recommends things that takes work (Riddle Channel)
Which one of these object does not belong to the group?” The question is very well designed - there is NOT more than one answer to it. It's sure that every single object has some difference in its image, but the question don't ask for some imagerially singular trace. In fact, the argument that all objects are odd in their image is the proof that this is not the singularity that one should pay attention. The riddle is difficult for the majority because it is not a trivial thing to observe differences in the relation of the objects itself. Usually people look to pure objects inside their one individuality, and forget that the object is always in a context made up of relations. So, if one take this in consideration, the answer to the riddle is obvious: observing all the connections possible between the objects, all of them have one difference comparing to the others four objects taken in group; except one of them, that has four differences comparing to the others objects taken one by one. The important is to realize that what makes the object odd is not some imagerially feature, It is the singularity of the kind of relation itself that makes the difference. ps: sorry for grammar mistakes, english is my third language
Riddle number one in a nutshell... Numbering them 1 2 3 4 5 from left to right And agreeing that all except one are of the same general size (Height x Width) then = 1. Has an outline, is red, is square and is large 2. Is not square - (all the others are square) 3. Is not outlined - (all the others are outlined) 4. Is not red - (all the others are red) 5. Is not large - (all the others are large) To conclude, No.1 is the only one in the group that has MORE than 1 "trait" shared by the rest in the group. In other words, No.1 is the only one of the group that CANNOT give just ONE unique DIFFERENCE from the others. It's a hard one to explain, but once you get it, it is obvious (I originally thought it was the circular one, lol). I think it is difficult to grasp, because until you see that ALL of the other objects are unique in some way (within the group as a whole) and that No.1 is NOT unique, for the N0.1 as being the correct solution to then jump out at you and make sense. Focusing on what things are "not" is not usually something that we, in general day to day life, are used to doing.
I considered myself a logical person, who typically does not produce creative ideas, I give evidence that to myself almost every time I try to solve a riddle, (I had all three matchstick solutions, a alternative gold bar solution, and I refuse to admit the first solution was correct).
In number one there are 4 of the shapes that are “odd man out”, this is because four of the five are square, four of the five are red. Also four of the five are roughly the same height. This type of test question requires an understanding of why a person answered the way he did.
2:39 I didn't do that, instead I cut it like this: turn it on its side cut into its side in half perfectly making two identical gold bars, they look exactly the same as the original, except they are half in depth. now cut each one half way through the middle forward wise, you now have 4 identical rhombus looking gold bars. I think I thought too hard there... :|
I feel like I have a good explanation for the first one and why it is the first shape. Each shape has a trait that is not shared by any other shape. This is true for all but the first one. For each trait available in the first shape, you can ALWAYS find another shape in the picture who shares that trait. For the second, you CANNOT find another circle, for the third, you CANNOT find another in-outlined shape, for the fourth, you CANNOT find another yellow shape, for the last, you CANNOT find another little shape. Therefore, the first one is the only one who can say this: "You cannot find something specific about my appearance that you cannot find on one of the other shapes."
The gold bar problem have multiple solutions. I solved it dividing it in 6 triangles. Then, I split in half all 6 triangles: now I have 12 triangles. 4 x 3= 12. Now, every one receives 3 little triangles, and that way everyone have the same amount of gold ;)
I found a fourth solution to the matchstick puzzle. Reconfigure the final 4 into a small 10 by moving the bottom stick so that it turns into a line and a triangle.
The matchstick one pissed me off. I thought of all 3 solutions pretty quickly, but I ruled out 5+4=9 because I thought the 9 had to have a matchstick at the bottom horizontally in order to count. After all, the 6 had a matchstick horizontally at the top, and 9 is just an inverted 6. So I ruled out 5+4=9 as an answer, and sat for several minutes trying to find the last answer. Finally I gave up and continued the video, only to find out I had the right answer all along -_-
The gold bar has an easier solution. The way it depicts, you would have 3 cuts, assuming that corners don't count. If it were corners, then there would technically be 6 cuts. I could do it in two. If it's In the /\ shape as shown, cut once ---- across the shape, leaving one large triangle on the top and two smaller downwards pointing triangles. Then cut once directly up the center of the large triangle,then your left with 4 triangles of the same size (from what's visably shown, there's no listed dimensions)
I didn't get number 3 and when I saw the solution, I wanted to kick my own butt. The area of the figure can be seen as 12 square units. Divide by 4 and you need 4 pieces of 3 identical areas. The obvious solution stares you in the face.
I solved all Five. The fifth was the easiest. Hey kenne dich durch Thaddeus und finde inwieweit cool dass du auch so einen Zeichenstil wie er verwendest. Mach weiter so!
I solved every one. I thought the first one was a really good one it took me almost 10 minutes to realize that if you asked each object , "What makes you so special?" You find the answer. I named them 1 though 5 starting from the left. When I asked 5 he said "I'm the only little one." , 4 said "I'm the only yellow one." ,3 said "I'm the only one without an outline.",2 said "I'm the only round one." 1 thought for a while then said "I'm the only one who can kick your ass." I said your not special and threw him out.
I have a riddle. I don't know if it's already been said in a video or not but: If you are trapped in a room with no windows or doors and you can't escape, and all you have is a mirror, and a table, how do you escape?
The first puzzle is an entirely valid puzzle with a singular logical answer of the first object. Anyone who thinks othwerwise with some argument relating to "well I think differently" - That's fine, there is a reason IQ tests exist and we all score differently.
Hey guys :)
I see that the first puzzle causes a lot of confusion. That means that I didnt explain it well enough in the video and because of that I want to explain it better now for the people who think that the riddle is illogical or doesnt make sense ;)
The only correct answer is the first one.
Explanation: All the other objects are missing a trait that is shared by the other four.
Explanation
1. The object on the far right has a smaller size from top to bottom
than the other four, which share the same size. (Missing size that
all the others share)
2. The second from the right is yellow while the other four are red.
(Missing color that all the others share)
3. The object which is second from the left is not outlined in green
while the other four are. (Missing green outline that all the others
share)
4. The object that is second from the left is a circle while the other four objects are
quadrilaterals (Missing shape that all the others share)
The left most object is the odd one out because it is not missing a
visual trait which is shared by the other objects.
(Now you could argue that it could also e.g be the middle one because its not outlined. But thats not true. If you look at the group, you see that it is normal in the group to miss one trait that the other objects share. That means, not being outlined(missing one trait) doesnt make the object odd. You dont stand out for missing one trait if everybody else also misses one trait.
Only the first one is not missing a trait which is shared by the others. And it is the right answer)
I hope it makes sense to everybody now. I tried my best! If you know a better explanation feel free to post it. I actually like that puzzle a lot and I am a bit confused about all the hate against it.
Thanks for watching and reading this long explanation :)
Thx, this makes so much more sense. Also great vid
The first one does not work. As the given solution shows, you can find something that is special for every single one of them (the first one being special for being the only one with no special trait). Odd one out just says that you have to find one piece that does not match a description every other piece does match.
First one: Every piece has a unique trait, just the first one hasn't -> First one is odd, valid answer
Second one: Every piece is a square, just not the second one -> Second one is odd, valid answer
Third one: Every piece has an outline, just not the third one -> Third one is odd, valid answer
Fourth one: Every piece is red, just not the fourth one -> Fourth one is odd, valid answer
Fifth one: Every piece has roughly the same size, just not the fifth one -> Fifth one is odd, valid answer
As there is no real scale of "oddity" for these things, no one is to decide what the single right answer is (with a little exception further into the text), so every one of the listed ones has to be right. If someone has to decide what the right answer is because there are multiple possible answers the question can't be answered by pure logic and thus is flawed. You either have to give additional info based on what kind of oddity you want the questioned people to answer or you have to make sure that all except one piece have something in common with at least one other piece. All this on an non-arbitrary level as "Out of this list, only the second one starts with a letter from the second half of the alphabet" of course, else it won't work ever. But if there are multiple solutions on an almost similar level of complexity, and I would argue this as given in the first picture, one can't figure out one single right answer.
TryToTech78 Exactly. The first "riddle" has multiple answers and is therefore poorly designed.
The first one is the correct answer because it's the only one you can't easily make an argument for as being the correct answer.
You could argue it should be the second one because it's the only one that's round. You could argue it should be the third one because it's the only one not outlined. You could argue it should be the fourth one because it's the only one not red. You could argue it should be the fifth one because it's the only one that's different in size. But because there can only be one right answer, if the last four are all equally valid propositions, none of them can be right. Thus the correct answer is the first.
My only issue is that the first four didn't seem sufficiently uniform in size to set apart the fifth.
>> The only correct answer is the first one.
No - it is not "the only" correct answer. It is only correct in the context of 'shared traits'.
Every other shape can be considered to be the odd one out in some other context, and since the puzzle does not specify the context it is arrogant of the puzzle creator to claim that the the only valid context is the one he had in mind when creating the puzzle.
Leaving the context unspecified is a common failing of "odd one out" puzzles, and will always result in arguments.
I didn't solve them all, but I found number 5 to be incredibly easy. I found the other 4 much harder.
Yeah, I found 5 easy.
I found 4 and 3 =ly easy, but there was so much trial and error they weren't too fun to solve :|
mateo jones but then you hav two smaller triangles. They must be equivalent
naaah. 3 and 4 were a piece of cake! :)

In the 1st one, if the first square is the only one without a defining feature, doesn't that give it a defining feature?
Yep. But that makes it a 'better' choice, for some illogical reason..
Victor Van Styn it's weird
I think the answer can also be the circle since it has an ODD number of sides while the others has even sides
It can also be the square without an outline and the square that is yellow.
it's defining feature is still different than the defining features of the others
Why was the last one the easiest??
i think because you know by then to think outside the box and that the outer numbers are important somehow, but that could just be me

Can we just convert the gold bar into money first and then divide it by 4?
😎😇😇
No
since the dollar doesn't follow the gold standard since 1970, the answer changes every day
In the first one, it needs perspective and it can be actually interpreted through different perspectives
True. Every other figure is a square, except the second one, so it's not an incorrect answer either.
every shape has a blue eadge apart from the middle one. silly.
@@miguelpanta It doesn't matter lol. it's still a point of perspective, silly.
@@leitis820 yes it is, the task is silly, cause its not clear.
@@miguelpanta I mean, true. That's why it is pov.
Someone may have said this, but you can divide the gold bar into 4 equal pieces with two cuts.
You mean equal including mirror images?
thats what i thought. inverted T from the tip of the boomerang shaped gold and that will give you 4 triangular pieces.
"inverted T from the tip of the boomerang shaped gold"
They would be the same shape (right isosceles triangles), but they wouldn't be the same size. The ones at the top would be twice the size of the others.
I think ricardo meant cut down from the point to make 2 pentagons (one right-handed and one left-handed) and then slice each one into 2 pieces with a cut parallel to the table.
Most are looking at it as a two-dimensional figure. First make one cut parallel to the table (as Paul said), making two equal layers. With the two slices still stacked, cut from the point down. You will have four identical pieces in two cuts.
Except they wouldn't be identical if you look at the gold bar the sides have a slope. So the two pieces made from the bottom layer would be bigger than the ones made from the top layer.
Last one was easiest
*How to Solve the Gold Bar Riddle:*
Change them to money and split the money by four. Solved!
That is the only way to get the exact same amount (without being a professional: gold cutter, mathematician, logician, and miracle maker)
The people will get suspicious because they will know a gold bat got stolen and people are trying to claim it
or we can split it in three equal parts ( the three equal parts r obvious there )and then we cut each part to 8 little parts. This way we get 8 x 3 = 24 parts that we can divide by 4, so each person gets 6 parts.
But at 2:09 he said to not cut it into more than 4 parts because the gold would lose it's worth
Magically change it.
Yep the bigger the bar, the more money too
1=F
2=F
3=F
4=F
5=T F*CK YEAH
Let's be real though, the last one was super easy if you could find the pattern in the numbers.
same thing happened to me
Well opposite of me
3rd problem. Sell the gold in the balck market. Divide the money
tangente00, then it's a pretty small piece of gold. I was under the impression it was a larger brick.
tangente00 then 3 people take 100 and the forth gets 99.98. He'll get used to it it's not that big of a deal lol
i got a different solution, and thats if you cut the bar down the middle, then put the two pieces together to form a rectangle, then cut down the middle of the bar longways
For the gold bar I would....
Kill 1 person and then split the gold bar into 3
Edit: holy cow 74 likes how I never got this much in my lifeee
Edit: are you guys crazy why would u like this comment I'm so proud of all of you ;-;
Why not kill three people and keep the entire bar for yourself?
y not kill 2 people and cut it in half?
I'd kill all of them using the gold bar
Why not just steal 4 gold bars?
bcoz the other guys are lazy dumbasses they wouldn't even budge to put it on their backpacks
wow I'm dumb... whatever * keeps browsing internet *
You told us the last one was the hardest just to make us feel better...
picture 3:
Or, OR! rather than that way with tons of unnecessary cuts, once through the middle, and cut it sideways aligned with the 270 degree corner in the middle.
Veji that’s what I said
I said that too
Since I thought the gold bar was big I just thought cut it four times horizontal they would all have the same shape. the original shape
That doesn't work, the two top triangles are larger than the two bottom ones. If you think about the shape as 3 squares, you can see that the bottom triangles get half of a square and the top two get 2 halves each.
Veji yes. You are my FRIEND!!!!
On the 3rd one, I was thinking that you cut it vertically, or into 4 layers,
But that would mean that each layer would be very thin.
The first riddle is dumb (unsolvable):
So one is a circle ( ok that’s different)
One is very small ( well that’s different)
One has another color ( that’s different too)
One has no border (guess what ... That’s different too)
And one is literally different from all of the above.
The goal here is to find one with a different trait from all of the others or , said differently, find one wich does not have a trait that the others have in common, wich is true for every objet here. I hope I was clear enough.
If you count "does not have any unique traits" as a unique trait, then its unique trait is also that it's a paradox. So it has two unique traits - it's a paradox, and its unique trait is not having unique traits. But that means it's the only object with two unique traits, making it have 3, and 4, and 5... infinite unique traits. The only object with that many unique traits. The others are all different in one regard, while the first is different in infinitely many.
That's what makes it truly unique.
Just imagine being put in a room full of mentally ill people
The first puzzle is just like that. The first shape doesnt belong there because it has no special characteristics.
The riddle said "find the odd one out" not the one with the unique trait. Maybe slight wording difference helps make that clearer
Shroomy agreed buddy
+Yayo.chan That is totally different. If you are comparing the mental state of a mentally ill (or even just mental disabilities for this matter), person and a "sane" person, then of course you would be the odd one out. Your example is like comparing different shapes that are all red to a red banana there's an obvious difference becuase they are NOTHING alike.
However, the shape dilema is different. Using the "mentally ill" example again, instead of comparing the mental state, compare the mental disabilities.
One person, the "sane" person, has something simple like a small case of dyslexia, one has OCD, one has ADHD, one has Autism, and one has Tourettes.
Arguably, most would probably say that of those examples the dyslexia is the least "severe". So, the "sane" person would be the odd one out right?
No. Becuase it's still a disorder. At that, it's classified under a "learning" disability just like ADHD, Autism, and Tourettes can be.
So, OCD, right? Well, no.
Because OCD is a disorder you can "develop" (while I'm aware genetics also play a role). Just like certain forms of Tourettes.
So, maybe Autism?
No. Because just like ADHD and Tourettes, you are born with it and most symptoms start during very early childhood.
Tourettes?
Nope.
Tourettes is linked with other disorders sucj as OCD and ADHD.
So, while one might stand out right away, just as the shapes, if you look deeper into it, then they all are unique, similar, and different in their own ways while also ALL being able to be classified into a group...
(Alright. Mental disorders was a terrible comparison to just shapes. You get the basic idea though).
I only got the last one

The last one may have been easier for two reasons: 1.It's designed for a different kind of intelligence,like the goldbar thing being for more visual people and the last one more mathemathical. 2. He tried to make you feel better by saying was the hardest but really was the easiest, make you feel better after failing all of the others.
For the third one , can’t you just cut it in the middle of the height then cut it in the middle at the top ???

i got them all correct except for the gold bar . my answer to the gold bar was sell it on the black market and everybody gets a 25% cut lmaaoo
Beenaamous Sur thats what i thought
Jackson Frost we on the same level broo haha ✋👊
For the third, i came up with a different answer
i tought that you could cut the bar in half in the horizontal way (like a piece of bread when you make a sandwich) and the cut those pieces in half on the vertical way
CookieMonster ohhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaah
that's exactly how i thought it should be done too. Then I saw their answer and...wtf, why is their solution so complicated?
That's what I thought too but then again it said all should be identical. By doing that you have 2 pairs of the same shapes but those two pairs are different from one another. All should be the same shapes.
Jinyoung Hyung is Fab but they're both right angled with 45degs triangles?
Just weight the bar and cut it according to that. Duh.
I found an easier solution for 3. Think of a square, then cut 2 diagonal lones from corner to corner like an 'X'. Turn the square 45° left or right and remove the bottom piece. Ta'da!
If you want to go deeper if the edges are rounded or sloped, you'll have to understand how big the rounded edge is, or what the degrees are if sloped, then shave off the edge, then cut the remaining gold shavings into 4 pieces.
My dear friend, when you deal with quadratics, that last question is child’s play
How do we know that the fitst is normal, because there is no other object that confirms that you can not state that!
All of the objects apply to some rules and reject 1 rule! The first object doesn't reject a rule!
I disliked, because there were actually multipuple answers to some of those and you only showed one!
may you give examples? and please don't mention the first one, as it already has been discussed plenty of times. even Riddle Channel made a post clarifying the answer on this one. furthermore, just rotating or mirroring the solution for the second picture doesn't count either
ret marut he was teasing you about spelling "multiple" like "multipuple"
I see. What does "multipuple" mean? Never heard this word.
Well aside the first one which has only correct solutions and the third one where multiple solutions were shown, you can solve the second one by cutting in the middle and stacking it (and cutting a second time). And for the third, well... very technically 20 is still a solution just a much worse one that 43.
shadowcloud1994 the first riddle has exactly one correct answer which was given in the video. with cutting I assume you refer to the third riddle. if you cut it in half and then stack it to cut it in any other direction, you won't get identical pieces. as for the last one: well, 20 wouldn't explain the changes of the outer numbers.
you see, all your criticisms are plain wrong.
The gold bar one was made unnecessarily difficult to cut. The video suggests that 6 cuts will need to be made... Three straight line cuts is all that you need...
Cut the bar in half on the thin plane to get two L shapes with the exact same dimensions as each other. Now cut these pieces in half by cutting along the axis of symmetry. You will end up with four identical pieces.
The first one is questionable and not specific enough.
You really need to step up your game...
I agree with your creative solution to the gold bar.
The first one is specific enough it has only one viable outcome. You can argue all of the others are the odd one out, because of them having a unique trait, thus they follow a pattern. That pattern excludes the first shape making it the odd one out.
your L shapes do not have the same dimensions
Cameron Rudolph gold bars in fiction are usually shaped like this /___\ , if you cut it like you said, the top "L" would be less than the bottom "L". also in the video the way the bar is drawn dies point in the direction of the /___\ shape
To just get peices equal in size I can do it in two cuts (the last cut being made over both the first pieces after rearanging). They does not become equal in shape though.
Cameron Rudolph I thought of that, but apparently that's invalid
Yoo, I solved them all! The matches riddle was a little confusing because you had to actually touch two matches in order to create a minus. The vertical match could not be lifted without either touching the horizontal one or carefully pulling it out, without the upper one to roll away. Great video. :)
Haha, I don’t think you can’t literally move any other matches, you just can’t use more than one’s new position in an answer
I didn’t get only the second one
Btw. Idk why the last picture was the easiest one for me and the second one was the hardest, it should be going from easiest to hardest, but it was otherwise
the hardest one was not that hard
me to i did wrong all but the last one,i did the last one under 10 seconds
solution 3 is wrong because the sides are beveled and by cutting it like that
the middle down part would be the heaviest
then comes the one above
and then the two side ones would be identical
so wrong again
Crushonius so you would take the middle one and not tell them, right?
How about this, cut from the to centre corners, now we have two even mirrored pieces.
Now cut through the pieces from left to right on the other axis, assuming this gold bar is 3d.
Just cut them in an upside down T pattern, everyone gets a triangle each
Okay but the first one is bullshit
the real correct one is the one without an outline
Numberoneugly Or the circle
What he doesnt take into account is that people look at things differently. He looks at the one that stands out the least and calls it the one that stands out and says that's the only answer, which is bullshit.
I got the answer in about 10 seconds.
exactly, because you can reverse the order and his 'solution' would be true for the small rectangle
For the third one all I did was,
1. Cut the piece horizontally in the middle, so now you have 2
identical pieces of the same size
2. Cut both of the pieces right in the middle
3. DONE! You've got your 4 identical pieces shared between 4 people
i got dat one too! :D
Mysterious Person One of the edges will be sloped from the cut
First of all, no if you cut it horizontally you get three, not four. But if you cut it vertically which I think you mean you get two trapezoids. And if you cut them in he middle you get either a square and a smaller trapezoid or a big and small different size trapezoids
Drew Does stuff okok look, I wrote this 2 months ago, I've read all the comments, I know you can't do that method because it just doesn't work out. I get it, thanks for the input though
You cut the 3 squares first then cut in half (6 parts) then again split to 12 divide by 4 then each gets 3 parts
The last one is hard because 6 X 2 + g = 21, therefore g = 9
🤣🤣😂😂
The Third you could also dit It horizontal So It would become flatter
I only got the last one right
Me too #noOldComments

For the second one, you can do it in 3 lines: 1 starting at the bottom going to the left and going to the left for about a hundred feet. Then, you go to the right all the way until you hit the circles, continue going another hundred or so, and go to the left again. If you line it up just right, you won't need the 4th.
Note : No point has area if u r not trying to be funny
@@ponkumarans7549 this is a 3 year old comment
Hii
I just discovered your channel and its awesome, keep up with those riddles. I realy enjoy them. :)
And btw the first one, doesnt work, how is it possible to find the odd one if ervery one is odd? Or didnt I get this right?
with #1:
-The normal was the most common occurrence (blue outline, square, red)
-There was only one that was exactly like that
-The others were all off by exactly 1
∴ The ''normal'' one is the most odd in the group.
same here
In the gold bar one, you could just have cut it in 1 straight row in the middle from both ways, that would have costed you less time cutting and also simplified the cutting.
Cut from the left point to the right point, which should cross the center point to leave one big triangle and two small ones. Bisect the large one vertically to turn that one into two smaller triangles. Should be four equal sized triangles.
No, the two triangles on the top are twice as large as the bottom ones. If you think about the shape as 3 squares put together you can see that the bottom shapes each get half of the area of one square and the top two get the same area as one of the 3 squares.
Okay, the first and the last one doesn't make sense mathematically. Find the odd one based on what property? If you don't specify I can come up with an arbitery property and make any of them the odd one, for exmaple I draw a vertical line after the forth shape and say that the odd one is the fifth because that's the only one standing right of the line, or I pick a number which is slightly smaller then the area of the largest one and call the largest shape the odd one because that's the only shape the area of which exceeds that number. And talking about the last one any number can be correct. Let's say the numbers at the vertices of the triangle are the variables of the function f. So basically all we know is that: f(1,3,7)=22 and f(9,6,2)=21. And I'm sure there are at least continuum many functions that satisfty these conditions so I can just pick any of them, they don't even have to be real valued or their range doesn't even have to be numbers at at all I could replace the question mark with a god damn cat and still be correct. You picked a relatively simple "pattern" (function) f(x,y,z)= yz+x which is perfectly okay, but that's not the only good solution.
The last one is fine, and you're incorrect that there are a 'continuum' of answers. We can easily go through each and come up with a sum, difference, product etc. and the only one that, for both, come out to the correct answers is (from top clockwise, y, x, z) is xz+y. It's not about the individual, it's about pattern solving. It's a classical IQ test as IQ tends to attempt to deduce your ability not to solve complicated problems, but pick up on patterns within numbers. You get graded well on the former, you get admitted into MENSA for the latter. (Yay, MENSA, so useful)
The first one is mentally stupid, though.
Alright, but who told you you can only use the four basic mathematical operations? You have to realize that these operations are nothing but functions, specifically +: R^2 ->R, where R is the set of real numbers. And they didn't specify which pattern I have to find. If it's still not clear then try to continue this series: 2,4,...
Well, if you write 6 you're correct because you add 2 to the previous number but 8 can also be correct if you look at it as a geometric series. Or 16 is fine as well if you always square the previous number of the series. And I can easily come up with a pattern which makes 10 correct for the third number too. I know it sounds strange and it's a bit forced but as a mathematician I just wanted to point out that this problem is mathematically not well defined, though in everyday life it's perfectly fine.
I get you, this guy doesn't define his riddles properly. A better question for the last would have been: Find which basic operation is used to complete the third example. Even that has a few problems, but it's better than 'WATS THE 3RD ONE GUYS?' I recognized it for what it was because of IQ tests that I took as a kid which is... Well, needless to say IQ tests aren't about intelligence at a certain point.

On the gold bar one, you can do it in 2 strokes, one horizontally across the middle, making 2 identical triangles and one big one, then cut the big one in half, forming 2 triangles of equal length to the others
I thought of it exactly like this. But after noticing it carefully makes our answer wrong. The upper one big triangle after getting cut into half will not create same triangles as below ones. Upper ones will be greater than down ones.
I had a different solution for the gold bar. Simply cut it horizontally so that you end up with 4 pieces of equal thickness.
I can do the second one with 3 moves
6 + 4 = 11
King Sodium really
are you trying to be funny or a dumbass plz reply with an answer
I was pointing out that it is possible to make it '6 + 4 = 11' It's obviously wrong lol :p
good i thought you were stupid or something
King Sodium 6+4= 10
Why so many dislikes? People are so short tempered.
Most of them are way to arbitrary, like saying: which number is unique: 2 , 3 ,4 ,5..... it is 4, because its the only number that can divide itself 2 times.
Also dislikes and likes don't matter they are all counted the same in the end.
the hardest one was the only one I got right so I think it's the easied one lol
It was spectacularly easy. I didn't need to pause.
2:17 i don i cut the other three guys and keep the gold for myself MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
the Goldbar does not work I'm afraid. That shape riddle only works with 2 dimesional Objects:
1.) if we go by your drawing, than the bottom of the bar is bigger then the top, which results in angled sides, only the left and right pieces are equal in volume.
2:) If we say that the top and bottom are equal, than there is a more effective solution: cut the bar into 4 layers of the same thickness, that need 3 cuts, your solution needs 6 so try again. I qoute "Don't cut if more often than it would need to"
Everyone is complaining about the first one but what about the last one? Since when does 6x2+g= 21?
its 6x2 = 12 and 12+9 is 21.
p.s Are you stupid?
Quexniten he's obviously joking smartass
I could not agree with you more, g is not even like the 9th letter of the alphabet.
To riddle 3 is a much better solution.
If you cut the whole thing horizontally and than both of the shapes in the middle you have a much easier way.
Actually our solutions are both wrong when you count the bottom parts as havier cause the edges are beveled, but than there arent any solutions. Trust me im genius 🤗
Perfect Moments no ur not
Luis Debayle than what is the answer
that doesnt have anything to do with you being a genius cuz ur not
Luis Debayle how do you know 😊
If you cut it horizontally, where the line touches the point at the lower middle, you get three pieces. If you did it vertically you’d get to sets of big and small trapezoids. Not so genius
I got 1 easily, 4 took me a minute or so, and I got 5 in under 5 seconds pretty sure
Flubbed #1. Seen #2 in the distant past (after flubbing it) so it doesn't count. Flubbed #3. Aced #4 and #5. Very entertaining as usual.
Riddle 1 object 1
I think for the first one, it'd be more reasonable to pick the square in the middle because it's the only one without the blue frames, rather than the first one being "not odd"; therefore, making it stand out.
Yeah, but isn't the yellow one just as odd, and the small one, and the circle one? In fact, the only one that is not odd is the one on the left, because it is the only one that shares all four traits, size, shape, color, and border state, with 4 of the 5 pictures. The others all have one trait that they share with 0 of the four, making them all equally odd. Only the left picture is unequally odd, making it the most odd.
I got all of them right except number three
Even though I got it wrong I still believe my reasoning was right
Heres what I did
1.Slice the gold down the sideways middle
2.Then slice that piece down the sideways middle again
I checked it by giving those value
9 for the long lines
and 4.5 for the other lines
(I knew this would be a square because the bottom points of the picture meet at the same point)
I did 9 times 9 which gave me 81 for the value of it as it's entire self
I did 4.5 times 4.5 for the value of the missing piece which gave me 20.25 (One fourth of 81)
I subtracted 20.25 from 81 giving me 60.75
I divided that by two giving me 30.375 (Step 1)
Finally I divided that by two giving me 15.1875 (Step 2)
So that's how I solved this riddle does anyone disagree with this other solution that for question number three
How can you cut this gold bar into 4 identical peices?
Technically, with a knife after heating it.
why are the hardest ones are the ones i can easily solve while the first ones i cant.
Illuminati conformed. On the last riddle the triangles look like the illuminati!!!! ☺
Riddle 1 is wrong! You could say, that the last one is the correct awnser, because you just say, that the first square is bigger! And the yelow is slightly larger, than the first red

Which one of these object does not belong to the group?”
The question is very well designed - there is NOT more than one answer to it.
It's sure that every single object has some difference in its image, but the question don't ask for some imagerially singular trace.
In fact, the argument that all objects are odd in their image is the proof that this is not the singularity that one should pay attention.
The riddle is difficult for the majority because it is not a trivial thing to observe differences in the relation of the objects itself. Usually people look to pure objects inside their one individuality, and forget that the object is always in a context made up of relations.
So, if one take this in consideration, the answer to the riddle is obvious: observing all the connections possible between the objects, all of them have one difference comparing to the others four objects taken in group; except one of them, that has four differences comparing to the others objects taken one by one.
The important is to realize that what makes the object odd is not some imagerially feature, It is the singularity of the kind of relation itself that makes the difference.
ps: sorry for grammar mistakes, english is my third language
I got the so called "hardest one" instantly, so... yey
Riddle number one in a nutshell...
Numbering them 1 2 3 4 5 from left to right
And agreeing that all except one are of the same general size (Height x Width)
then =
1. Has an outline, is red, is square and is large
2. Is not square - (all the others are square)
3. Is not outlined - (all the others are outlined)
4. Is not red - (all the others are red)
5. Is not large - (all the others are large)
To conclude, No.1 is the only one in the group that has MORE than 1 "trait" shared by the rest in the group. In other words, No.1 is the only one of the group that CANNOT give just ONE unique DIFFERENCE from the others.
It's a hard one to explain, but once you get it, it is obvious (I originally thought it was the circular one, lol). I think it is difficult to grasp, because until you see that ALL of the other objects are unique in some way (within the group as a whole) and that No.1 is NOT unique, for the N0.1 as being the correct solution to then jump out at you and make sense.
Focusing on what things are "not" is not usually something that we, in general day to day life, are used to doing.
well those were 4 minutes of my life I'm never gonna get back

I feel educated.
I considered myself a logical person, who typically does not produce creative ideas, I give evidence that to myself almost every time I try to solve a riddle, (I had all three matchstick solutions, a alternative gold bar solution, and I refuse to admit the first solution was correct).
In number one there are 4 of the shapes that are “odd man out”, this is because four of the five are square, four of the five are red. Also four of the five are roughly the same height.
This type of test question requires an understanding of why a person answered the way he did.
The last one was actually the easiest.
The first one is subjective, it could literally be any one of them, they are all the odd ones out compared to each one
2:39 I didn't do that, instead I cut it like this:
turn it on its side
cut into its side in half perfectly
making two identical gold bars, they look exactly the same as the original, except they are half in depth.
now cut each one half way through the middle forward wise,
you now have 4 identical rhombus looking gold bars.
I think I thought too hard there... :|
I got the same, it’s less cuts too
Ethan Kelly whoa this comment was two years ago😳😳
Got everything right, except for the gold bar...
I actually thought you would have to simply cut triangles
lmao
I feel like I have a good explanation for the first one and why it is the first shape.
Each shape has a trait that is not shared by any other shape. This is true for all but the first one. For each trait available in the first shape, you can ALWAYS find another shape in the picture who shares that trait.
For the second, you CANNOT find another circle, for the third, you CANNOT find another in-outlined shape, for the fourth, you CANNOT find another yellow shape, for the last, you CANNOT find another little shape. Therefore, the first one is the only one who can say this: "You cannot find something specific about my appearance that you cannot find on one of the other shapes."
This is literally the explanation in the video.
Last one was the easiest 😂
I got only the last one. "And here's the hardest one" 😂👌
LOL I didn't get the first three but got the last 2
The gold bar problem have multiple solutions. I solved it dividing it in 6 triangles. Then, I split in half all 6 triangles: now I have 12 triangles. 4 x 3= 12. Now, every one receives 3 little triangles, and that way everyone have the same amount of gold ;)
I found a fourth solution to the matchstick puzzle. Reconfigure the final 4 into a small 10 by moving the bottom stick so that it turns into a line and a triangle.
yeah without a measurement tool you can definitely cut the gold bar into those pieces identically
The matchstick one pissed me off. I thought of all 3 solutions pretty quickly, but I ruled out 5+4=9 because I thought the 9 had to have a matchstick at the bottom horizontally in order to count. After all, the 6 had a matchstick horizontally at the top, and 9 is just an inverted 6. So I ruled out 5+4=9 as an answer, and sat for several minutes trying to find the last answer. Finally I gave up and continued the video, only to find out I had the right answer all along -_-
The gold bar has an easier solution. The way it depicts, you would have 3 cuts, assuming that corners don't count. If it were corners, then there would technically be 6 cuts. I could do it in two. If it's In the /\ shape as shown, cut once ---- across the shape, leaving one large triangle on the top and two smaller downwards pointing triangles. Then cut once directly up the center of the large triangle,then your left with 4 triangles of the same size (from what's visably shown, there's no listed dimensions)
dividing the gold bar is easy; just melt it down and reforge it into perfect square :D done
I didn't get number 3 and when I saw the solution, I wanted to kick my own butt. The area of the figure can be seen as 12 square units. Divide by 4 and you need 4 pieces of 3 identical areas. The obvious solution stares you in the face.
I solved all Five. The fifth was the easiest.
Hey kenne dich durch Thaddeus und finde inwieweit cool dass du auch so einen Zeichenstil wie er verwendest. Mach weiter so!
1. win
2. fail
3. fail
4. win
5. fail, but its genius one !!
The triangle puzzle was easy, and it's actually the Bottom Right X Bottom Left + the Top.
Ironically, the last one ended up being the easiest one for me. lol
I solved every one. I thought the first one was a really good one it took me almost 10 minutes to realize that if you asked each object , "What makes you so special?" You find the answer. I named them 1 though 5 starting from the left. When I asked 5 he said "I'm the only little one." , 4 said "I'm the only yellow one." ,3 said "I'm the only one without an outline.",2 said "I'm the only round one." 1 thought for a while then said "I'm the only one who can kick your ass." I said your not special and threw him out.
The gold bar one is even more simple! Just turn it round, so the side is on the ground, then cut down
I have a riddle.
I don't know if it's already been said in a video or not but:
If you are trapped in a room with no windows or doors and you can't escape, and all you have is a mirror, and a table, how do you escape?
The first puzzle is an entirely valid puzzle with a singular logical answer of the first object. Anyone who thinks othwerwise with some argument relating to "well I think differently" - That's fine, there is a reason IQ tests exist and we all score differently.
