    Bro, my name's Dereck and around the beginning I was getting distracted and not paying attention so when Michael yelled "Dereck" at 1:12 I freaked out for a second. I thought his superior mind has transcended time and the dimensions of a RUclips video to tell me to pay attention to his content.

    • @flutee6162
      @flutee6162 3 года назад +57

      it basically means whoever asks the guard who's going to die in order to reassure himself he is likely not one of the guys to die (because the guard will tell him one of the other guys is chosen to die regardless if the guy who asks is chosen or not), is going to unknowingly increase their chance of being one of the chosen to be killed due to simple mathematic probabilities. In other words, this doesn't make logical sense in any SINGLE scenario you find yourself in; But when accounting for ALL scenarios possible, probability says the guy who you don't know is going to live or die is going to more likely to live than the one who asks the guard in the first place.
      Yeah my brain still doesn't understand, but math does.

    • @paulpena5040
      @paulpena5040 3 года назад +56

      What's critical to understanding this is getting that the guard CANNOT tell Michael about his fate.
      So let's consider this. Say you are person #1. When the guard tells you person 3 is going to die he is giving you ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION. You ALREADY knew 2 out of 3 were going to die so naming someone other than yourself is like saying "the sky is blue", thanks buddy. It's only an illusion that the information is limiting the result set. No useful information has been conveyed.
      But if he COULD tell you about yourself and still said person 3 THEN that's a different story since you've knocked one off and it becomes a coin-flip at that point.
      But he CAN mention person 2 if he wanted to and DIDN"T which gives him a 66% change of him living (33.3% chance for you and the other guy is already dead).
      Let me know if that helped.

    Interesting fact: The word "normal" comes from the Latin word "normalis." Normalis translates into "carpenter square." When the word first came to English, it meant something that is in a 90° angle. All of this is why the term "Square" is a very common synonym for "normal."
    It wasn't until the late 1800s/early 1900s it got its current definition.
    I hope you all have a good one.

    I had a really self-conscious moment at 8:02 when Michael said,
    "But what about you, are you normal?"
    Then, appropriately, Derek looks at the camera in a seemingly judgemental fashion.

    • @jacobnair6707
      @jacobnair6707 8 лет назад +142

      Let me try to explain. First of all Jake dying doesn't make your chances worse. It just increases Kevin's chances. The guard HAS to say that Jake dies if Kevin lives, but he can either say that Kevin OR Jake dies if Michael lives. Therefore, there is a 100% chance that the guard says Jake dies if Kevin lives. And there is a 50% chance that the guard says Jake dies if Michael lives. (50% chance of guard saying Kevin dies too) So, its twice as likely that Kevin will be the one who will live when the guard says Jake will die because he was less likely to say Jake will die if Michael was the one who lived.

    1. Consider the word heterological.
    2. Is it heterological?
    3. If "no" then heterological must be homological, meaning it describes itself... so in other words "heterological" is heterological? That makes no sense.
    4. If "yes" then heterological must be heterological, meaning it describes something other than itself. Which makes no sense either.

But that actually make it worse because he has a higher chance of being executed now.

    If the universe crunches then we might go back to that part of space where you was born.

      KLX What the fuck are you talking about? How is that in any way "home sexual"?

      KLX First, that's not how you spell "homosexual". Second, that comment isn't sexual in any way. Third, you're considering someone's sexual orientation to be naturally a bad thing, which is extremely bigoted.
