I also question the notion that 10 x 10% ray guns pointed at the same target as 1 x 100% ray gun doesn't do the same amount of damage to the healthy tissue. How should I know firsthand that the effects of ray guns are additive and vary depending on the type of tissue. The effects could have been cumulative and affect both types of tissue in the same way for all I know. Am-I missing something obvious here?
By reading other comments the explanation seems to be that the combined ray guns does affect a very accurate point in 3D space. Don't think that was even mentioned in the premise. It never occurred to me that combining many rays to the same spot wouldn't cause a big radius of damage thereby affecting the healthy tissue just as much as a single ray. Would have thought that doing this would cause a diffuse spherical damage even bigger than the linear one caused by a single ray.
***** I did reflect a bit on my previous comments. What I really meant was that the 3% success rate has much more to do with the incomplete premise rather than a lack of creative thinking. When you have a good grasp of the "ray-guns" physics it becomes a simple geometric problem that is easily solved by applying "intersection" which is learned in grade school...
+Someone In The Crowd If you don't have time to operate I doubt you'd have time to run around the hospital looking for ray guns or even setting up an elaborate 10 gun system to shoot at once
Nick Lopez I was following the rules. Now if it didn't specify how many ray guns we had then I would forgive it. But it specifically said "a" raygun meaning one. Changing the rules of the riddle doesn't mean you solved it so yeah. Of course I thought of other ways this could work with one raygun.
Nico Cornejo but riddles are always there to trick you just like the riddle if a rooster lays an egg on a house which way will it roll, solution: roosters don't lay eggs hens do, here's another one, what weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks, solution: they both weigh the same since its a pound; thus dude there are a bunch of riddles just like the one with the ray gun
Nick Lopez Except those make sense. It's impossible to have 10 ray guns if it SPECIFICALLY said 1. If it didn't have this information it would make sense because it's the perosns fault for not thinking outside of the box. But with this puzzle it specifically stated you only had one.
Papa Slap it is fair if you have a humongous creative personality you would of guessed it automaticly he never said you can't have more than 1 ray gun he said you have one ray gun
I also would have guessed that I could pray to god for the tumor to go away and it would work. He never said that god couldn't exist and that god couldn't remove tumors.
Siara Hughes because it does not have full power in a individual area if they are puting the ray gun from all side so not effecting a single area of are tissu . and they met at a single point where there is more ray coming from all other are with out effecting the tissu and they mixed up and make 100 % again because of the 10 ray gun at 10% each ... easy
true. if all ray guns are surrounding the tumor and are at 10% then the healthy tissue will still be damaged due to the combined power of the ray guns...
Oscar Exactly! Choosing ten ray guns sounds like cheating. They tell you that you have _a_ ray gun, as in one. How on Earth can you figure that somehow, you have _ten_ ray guns?! It doesn't make sense.
+Wolverine Otter (kit-katkitty-catkitten) that's nonsense, besides, if he said directly that you have access to a 10, you'd think that you should use those 10 in some way, until you find out how. This, will in fact, make its a whole lot more easier for people to find the answer uselessly, without creativity.
Gilian Rüsterholz Yeah. Sammy Bray should be able to tell if my dog is dead, right? I gave him more than enough information. He should figure the rest out with his creativity. He made it sound easy.
+AmalGatroN Could just move ray gun around (to pass through multiple different areas of tissue, and avoid staying on one region for too long) whilst keeping it pointed at tumor. Problem solved :)
+Oydle nope, the ray guns need to shoot at the same time. what u propose has the same effect as turning the ray gun on and off 10x. changing its position wont matter, shooting from 10 different angles to the same point at the same time does.
Tom Kummer I think you are right. My bad. I had assumed that the effective total radiation dose was the key here, but if it's the intensity alone which matters, then yes, you need more ray guns. Edit: Or a complicated set of mirrors..
"Three houses are on fire with people inside. You have one ladder. You can only save one house. How can you save them all? The answer: you use a helicopter."
+Voldermort BUTT was the length of the ladder specified? if not lay the ladder on top of the houses make the poeple climb up the chimney and then snap the ladder at the end so you create two ladders and angle it down :D or just snap the ladder into three and use them but yeah there yah go
+honeydew247 you realize that since the chimney is an opening, all of the smoke will be concentrated to that one spot, making it impossible to see or breath while climbing.
The answer is 1 baby elephant. You ordered 1 apple so you can give 3 to John but that required delivery so they sent a baby elephant across the river to give you the apple.
Turns out I wasn't careful enough when I summarized that first riddle. Here's the original wording of the problem "Suppose you are a doctor faced with a patient who has a malignant tumor in his stomach. It is impossible to operate on the patient, but unless the tumor is destroyed the patient will die. There is a kind of ray that can be used to destroy the tumor. If the rays reach the tumor all at once at a sufficiently high intensity, the tumor will be destroyed. Unfortunately, at this intensity the healthy tissue that the rays pass through on the way to the tumor will also be destroyed. At lower intensities the rays are harm- less to healthy tissue, but they will not affect the tumor either. What type of procedure might be used to destroy the tumor with the rays, and at the same time avoid destroying the healthy tissue?"
Bite Size Psych I listened to it twice and changed the wording in my head because it didn't seem right. I came up with two theories and I did get it right.
Ben Fung Fook If I tell you to bring me some water. You're not going to bring it in your hand because you know water behaves like a fluid. Everybody does. The concept that two weak beams of light can merge into a stronger beam is similar. Just experiment by turning two torches on at once. (By electromagnetic radiation, I meant light, because that's what it is.)
Ben Fung Fook Touche But still, people know two torches are brighter than one. The test is pointless though because you were supposed to have "a ray gun".
+Violet Violets there wasn't enough information in the starting riddle, you are lead to believe that you only have one ray gun thanks to the wording and the animation
Yeah, but I thought - what if you had two rayguns and focused on the tumour. That's 50% intensity. It's still possible to get past a badly worded question, which is what scientists do every day, as nature doesn't pose most questions coherently.
+joseph10097 Implying that you can use more than one would give away the answer, maybe rephrase it to, you´ve developed, then coming up with the idea of using 10 would still require creative thinking, and might still be close to 3%
Yes, but without any knowledge of the fact you even have access to more than a single gun, it is impossible. It's like saying you have made an amazing cure, but there are 10 sick people. To solve this you make 10 more. This is unreasonable because it doesn't say you can make any more -and things require materials to create.
+Matt Sinotte Earth to Matt...the real world does have CONSTRAINTS. For example, engineers have to work within constraints all of the time including only "so much material" or " so much money" or "so much time". These are all valid, REAL WORLD, constraints. The real creativity is working within those constraints to find a solution. When you have enough experience in the real world get back to me. Then we can have an actual discussion.
+Scallywag This guy is in college probably working his ass off trying to get smarter and better at what he does, while you sit there and criticize him for not having enough "real world experience".
+Samuel Hensinger yes because being smart or a smart ass like him is one thing. Having real world experience is entirely different. I hope Matt finds his dreams and has the best of both worlds; smarts and experience. I can't fault the guy, just his logic that isn't based in the "real world".
+Matt Sinotte that's not creative the video literally stated ONE ray gun. In that case then I'll do surgery wait that's against the rules? nah I'm being creative. Besides the top comment stated that the a ray gun thing was a mistake so just admit your wrong m8.
still isn't a good solution...the combined radiation has a lethal level up to a certain radius. This would be a perfect sphere. However, the tumor is not a perfect sphere. Therefore with this solution, it would be impossible to get rid of the tumor without hurting cells. If you really wanted to get rid of the entirety of the tumor, you would have to destroy some healthy cells as well...
Vigo Hornblower actully it is the best idea because when your shooting one ray gun your shooting one spot of the tumor and when you do that it puts all the pressure on one spot if you use ten and put them on 10% it puts the same amount of pressure on each spot of the tumur allowing the doctor to kill the tumur without putting all the pressure on the protective tissue im the most creative in my family
Depending where the tumour was I thought of first making an incision and shooting the ray gun through the hole to damage less tissue. Maybe that's dumb but it was my first idea (I'm no doctor)
You could rotate the one ray gun at full capacity. The healthy tissue would get the full brunt of energy for a small amount of time, which unless it's high enough to cause instantaneous permanent damage won't hurt the tissue (and if it does, then lower capacity on the laser would be sufficient with the proposed method). The unheathy cells would get the full energy brunt all the time, since it's in the middle regardless of which way you beam it from.
Nice one Yeah, there's a lot of different solutions. You could also use surgery to get the one ray gun in a position where it won't damage healthy tissue, while still not operating on the tumer. Also, 10 ray guns wouldn't work. First, why 10? Anything less than 100% should work without a specific level mentioned. Second, that only kills cells at one tiny point. Make the beams larger and you damage healthy cells. You would have to constantly adjust each gun by hand, grt them all to line up,and repeat dozens of times. And as you suggested, a potential cumulative effect could be used in a number of ways that would allow you to use one gun to kill the tumor.
"U have a ray gun... U place 10 Ray guns." If I could just apply the logic to spending like "I have one dollar... So I can spend $10 with going into debt."
Let's set some shit straight. This riddle was unsolvable. You people can talk about how you simply had to be creative to use more than one gun, but the riddle says that you have *A*raygun. A as in a single Ray gun. Not rayguns, a raygun. It also says that you patient is dying and needs treatment so fast that operation is not an option. Allocation of additional rayguns is entirely illogical. You would be right in saying that it is creative thinking to imagine up 9 more rayguns, however, in the context of the video as a whole, that makes no sense. He talks about the use of creativity in business leaders. Let's say you're a CEO. You need 10 million dollars for a project that needs to be approved in a few minutes. You have 1 million readily available. How to you approve the new project assuming all of the money needs to be turned in at the start. The answer is that you can't. You don't have the 9 million, and you don't have the time to redirect the funds from other projects to this one, seeing that there are rules and guidelines to be followed in moving such large amounts of money. You can't imagine up 9 extra million dollars. So you can be creative all you want, but you have to be realistic at the same time when solving riddles like these, and the answer to this was nowhere near realistic. (EDIT) - In retrospect, the solution itself is false. Putting 10 rayguns at 10% power is the same thing as 1 at full power, due to the concept of constructive interference. When waves of any kind (which a ray gun would most certainly use), overlap, if they both have positive amplitudes (and these rayguns would in fact have identical amplitudes and frequencies), then the power of the waves are added. So 10 at 10% is the same as 1 at 100% making this answer ENTIRELY INCORRECT. (2nd edit) Constructive interference is why their solution with multiple ray guns would work (if they had multiple rayguns that is), but it's impossible to avoid damaging healthy tissue using that method. There would be unavoidable overlap, meaning that their entire theory was wrong in the first place.
I also took the question as literal and tried to work with that. Closest I got was using a low strength laser with some kind of focusing lense. I was pretty disappointed to find the goalposts moved int he answer.
Another problem I saw, was that he didn't tell how low "low intensity" was. It could've been in this case that the healthy tissue gets damaged when firing a railgun with an intensity of 40% or higher of it's maximum possible intensity, which would mean that you'd just need 3 of these railguns firing at an intensity of like 35% or so to kill the tumour without damaging anything else. It just bothered me that he was saying this exact amount of 10 railguns when it really could've been any amount because the problem hasn't been defined enough.
Ryan J I mean the only reason we have creativity is to get away from all that complicated junk. Obviously Ben Franklin didn't give a flying flip when he got that kite and key during a storm he could've gotten killed because that lightning bolt could've did some damage but thankfully to his luck he wasn't and invented electricity. Therefore we human beings don't care about anything if we are creative and have a wicked, crazy, and looney mind.
batnay K Your point is totally irrelevant. First of all, the whole Benjamin Franklin and the kite thing, never happened. It's a folk tale, based on a real person. Second of all, to be of any use, creativity must be used while also considering reality. That "complicated junk" is real life, and you cannot get around it by thinking your way past it. It is still there, and no matter how many ray guns you wish you had, you still only have one.
+Blue W I think saying Low and high intensity settings should be enough. My answer was two ray guns at low intensity. I got the gist so I'm counting it as a win.
+PaddyMacNasty But he said you have a raygun, which can only mean one thing. There was only one gun as far as you knew. When did it say you had more? With the information given, you suggested an idea that required something you didn't even know existed.
+mathardo XD lol, so we take ten patients and decide which one is worth the sacrifice of the others? Can't we just operate on one, then pass the ten ray guns to the next patient that's waiting?
Not only that, but I thought there were only two vague settings: "high intensity" and "low intensity." You can't aim 10 ray guns unless you know that you can set them to precisely 10% intensity, which was never an option. I mean, if I can use my "creativity" to dream up options that aren't presented in the riddle, then I might as well dream I have magical healing powers and can do whatever I want. Also, you would have to have *miraculously* precise aim and timing to completely destroy the tumour and never damage any healthy tissue. I say, even with the proposed "creative" solution, that patient is *FUCKED*. I really wonder if this riddle could be phrased in a better way, or about a different scenario, so that the solution actually works realistically.
BECAUSE ONLY 3% ARE THAT STUPID TO MAKE THAT ONE ANSWER. I though hey use more beams to surround a powerful beam minimizing the damage but also didn't say how the guns worked plasma my idea would be sound but not lazer beams and what is a ray?
You told me I only had _a_ ray gun, where did the other 9 come from In order for that to work, I'd have to set up a prism to split the outgoing beam into 10 beams, then uses precisely aimed mirrors to converge them from different angles at the tumor And that just opens the question Why the hell do the individual beams need to be at 10%? You could accomplish the same thing by using 2 beams at 50% each
Doesn't say that you can do that. In the rules of the riddle, the gun is one of a kind, and can't be modified or improved. Or you can go the route of "but they didn't say that", which at that point you've entered into Deus Ex Machina territory, and litteraly anything that solves the problem is correct. "How do you get rid of the tumor" I improve the gun so that it doesn't kill healthy tissue now. That's the same thing.
thinking about it, since green is not a primary color, and the majority of people's favorite colours are red and blue, I'd say green is extremely creative.
What if you do not ray constantly but use a frequency on the ray gun. The intensity will kill the tumour but the energy will not build up on the tissue
I've got an answer for the matches one. Get another 6 matches because apparently were allowed to pull stuff out of our ass in these riddles, then make 4 triangles from 3 matchsticks each.
+Shivam Tyagi man he was just mentioning the existence of the tool. Why would you limit yourself in the number of ray gun you can use when you're trying to cure a tumor?? x)
no but there you implied it was one of these little puzzle games where people deliberately limits yours resources and you have to find a crazy solution with ONLY the tools given. I believe the mistake people make here is to not see that this was a medical/real life problem and not a game. If you put yourself in the head of a researcher or a doctor, then you won't even think that the number of guns at your disposition to save a life would be limited. I think it's the way the question is asked (it looks like this kind of game with limited tools) that trick people and forbid them to see the answer. It doesn't mean people aren't creative, I'm sure if you tell people "it's a real life problem not a puzzle game" many more would find the answer.
Snapping your fingers won't work. But if you were confident that operating was possible and safe, then yes it would be another solution to the problem (whether the people asking the question would accept the answer or not I would not care, a good solution is a good solution). But I do not possess the knowledge of whether operating is possible and/or safe. This video just told me about how ray guns work. So it makes more sense to first try to come up with a solution with the ray guns. If you can't find any, then looking for alternative solutions like surgery is good (and creative) rather than give up :) Surgery is probably way more dangerous than the ray guns though so it's cool that we have ray guns! PS: anyway I think their "test of creativity" is very flawed here.
i Thought I had only one ray gun so my solution was to use a series of well arranged reflective surfaces to make the low intensity rays pass the body only one time per part while making it pass multiple time on the location of the tumor. problem solved life saved money saved (I can use only one gun) now where is my success?
+William Knowles The gun would have to move at a superluminal velocity (faster than the speed of light) in order to do what you have proposed. Even if you found a way to move the gun at the speed of light, which is physically impossible, the light would never intersect with itself to produce more than the original intensity.
You said "A ray gun" not "ray guns". You can't say that people who don't think of an answer aren't creative. They are just better at following the rules and thinking logically.
SuperEddie Gaming the diagonal of a square is 1.414times the side of a square. if each stick is of length 'a' ,then the diagonal sticks should be 1.414×a.
I realize I am a bit late to this effort, but the simplest answer I can see is make I triangle from 3 point up, then placing the remaining three so they form another triangle in the middle of the first point down, but excess match sticks out beyond sides of the first... easier to draw. End up with 4 triangles all inside the first, of equal sides, essentially half a match stick.
cat 95 There are possibly more. As the riddle did not specify how many intensities the ray had, I thought that a middle or medium intensity would be evened out, sort of like goldie-locks. It could kill the tumor but be harmless to the tissue of the skin.
+cat 95 Another solution, the one I've heard of before I saw this video, was to mount the laser on a robotic arm that would move around the patient in a sphere, but track to always be aiming at the tumor. Reduce the power so that it takes a few minutes of concentrated firing to destroy a cell, and keep it moving. If the laser can't be moved, then the patient can be tracked around instead.
You never said I had ten rail guns I was thinking of putting mirrors so that it would bounce off one mirror and be a little less strong then bounce off to another. Do this shot at 5 different points until all lowered shots hit the person. I think too much I should shut up now.
+Thomas Toledo ~ No that's not what he's saying. He's saying a rail gun (which you said in your OP and which is completely different from a ray gun) would completely destroy your vict... patient, not heal him.
At the point where all 10 of the ray guns converge, you have a high intensity beam I guess? So you get to pick and choose EXACTLY where that high intensity spot is. I got it wrong too, cause I thought I only had the one ray gun, and I had no idea how the rays worked. EM waves would have destructive or constructive interference, radiation doesn't seem to work that way, etc. The solution I came up with, given the sparse information and no mention of limits besides "Don't damage healthy tissue with the ray gun," was to let the patient die, then cremate them with the ray gun. The objective is to remove the tumor without damaging healthy tissue. Dead tissue isn't healthy. Etc.
+Philip Mills Actually not. Think of this comparison: If you hold a finger in a fire for 10 seconds you will get burnt and possibly permanently damage the skin on your finger. But if you hold each of your 10 fingers in the fire for just 1, or even 2, seconds, they will all probably be fine, with no permanent damage.
Hmm... still working within the rules of having *a* ray gun, couldn't you use a prism to break the ray up into 10 weaker beams, redirect each one through a mirrors, then focus them on a single point?
It's possible, but since the refraction index is less than unity, the combined force would be weaker than the original ray. So not a great idea... You could always get a stronger gun, or increase the power or whatever. But that seems to be beside the point. I.e you wouldn't solve the paradox within it's original context, you would be changing the subject.
Of course you can. It's a bullshit question. He gave us a problem - kill the tumour. He gave us our tools - a ray gun. He gave us the limitations - don't harm healthy tissue. Then he conjured up 9 other ray guns out of nothing. If that counts as a legitimate answer, then you can certainly apply a series of mirrors and prisms to the problem.
for the riddle with matches... make a square with four matches then use the other two as perpendicular bisector for both of the two opposite sides making 4 equal sized squares
+Edson de S. e Silva Ok, I missed the equals side part only made equals triangles, I can make them equals side. This is at least as valid as breaking in half to double matches. /// + \ and a match on top other on base.
You guys said we had "A" ray gun which means we have only ONE ray gun. Not multiple rays guns so ur answer is technically not correct... Tho ofc I may be wrong...
You need to buy milk in a vending machine for 3$. You only have a 5$ coin and the vending machine doesn't give change. There are no shops to get change, and your friends won't help you because they hate you. How do you make sure you won't overpay for the milk? You pay with a 3$ coin you have in your back pocket. Only 3% of the population are creative enough for this.
If someone tells me I have only one item, I don't assume that I have two items instead. If I only have a ( article used for single nouns) $5, then that is the only coin I have, I could pay with 3 $1 BILLS, but not with coins because I have only A coin, but saying I only have this denomination coin means I have no other denomination coins.
I understand the idea behind this but again like so many people has said before me you only said one ray gun. "A" means one. The reason why we didn't get that answer isn't because we're not creative its because those other change the parameters of the scenario. stating that you could have more than one ray guy would of giving the answer away but this question was flawed to begin with
so your saying the real answer to riddle is to create a time machine and prevent him from getting sick? Or use alien technology and remove the organ operate and replace it back fully fixed? ORRRRR MAGIC!! All riddles have assumed logic and boundaries. I understand a person with prior knowledge to how ray-guns work would be at an advantage (if all ray-guns have the same) compared to the rest of us But if we just pick and choose our own limits its opens the riiddle up to an infinite amount of answers. All we know it has a high intensity and a low, the way its referred to is implied singular and the condition of the patient. Everything else is pure make believe!
This, like many other riddles online is crap. The riddle states that you have A raygun. Meaning one. If the riddle said you had 10 rayguns well then it's pretty darn easy to arrive at the answer now isn't it?
The answer assumes that there the doctor has 10 ray-guns available when one of the first things said is that the doctor has a single ray-gun. No wonder only 3% 'get' the answer.
Zander Cohen And why specifically 10 at 10%? Each "ray" would be 20% so you could just do 5 guns at 20% since the rays don't magically stop at the tumor site. And since we can have multiple, why not 2 rays at 50%?
I was under the impression that I only had one ray gun... not 10. I wouldn't have been able to figure this riddle out, given the information I was provided, and I'm sure a large portion of the 97% who get this question wrong feel the same. I don't find this riddle to be an accurate indicator of one's creativity unless creativity is considered putting your own spin on the premise. If that's the case, I can just say I was able to find a ray gun in my pocket that can kill tumors without damaging tissue and the answer to this riddle would be I'd just use that ray gun I found. Sorry, I just hate open ended riddles and how people think you get it wrong because you didn't arrive at the same answer as someone who believes they have the correct answer. In actuality, I believe a riddle like this is more of a thought experiment than a question with one answer that only 3% of people can solve... Other than that, I really enjoy your videos =D
+FunnyBuns1 The real answer (as actually used in hospitals) is that you *do* only have one raygun, but you fire it from 10 (or more) different positions in quick succession.
+Joe Hartigan-Fleming this wouldn't really work since the whole thing has to happen at the same time, you can't move one gun to 10 different angles fast enough so that the rays will Hit the Tumor at tue Same time
The problem with the first one: a) You said I have A ray gun, not multiple. b) If a ray gun at low intensity doesnt kill the tumor, but one at high intensity does (and damages tissues), wouldnt 10 ray guns at low intensity have the same effect as one with high and still damage the tissue?
I was about to say that but then I realized two things: you would be damaging the tissue so maybe that disqualifies the answer and you would still be hitting 100% power at the healthy tissue behind the tumor. Regardless with "A ray gun" the "creative" answer can't be the solution.
to answer the end question, if you make a square out of the matches and cross the other 2 over you get 4 triangles of equal length. in quote of hanzo, sinple geometry.
+aDotFromTheFuture That's the point of question. It's all hypothetical, you're supposed to use cognitive thinking to create a solution with very limited information.
+SgtsForge : Pretty much. "Inoperable" just means the tumor can't be removed without damaging blood vessels or nerves that are closely entwined with it. Here, they can make a large enough incision to see the tumor, and then zap it. In real life, this is actually done with brain tumors, except they use liquid nitrogen instead of a "ray gun".
If we assume that the tumor is in the stomach we can insert an optic cable through the mouth and use it to lead the laser beans directly to the tumor, also splitting the rays in ten and then rejoining them might cause damage to the nearest healthy tissue or simply resolving in a collected bean which hasn't got enough power to actually kill the tumor, because percentage of the beans power would be consumed while traveling through the healthy tissue before rejoining in the middle of the tumor.
How about breaking all the 6 matches into 2 pieces. You'll end up with 12. 12 (How much pieces you need) divided by 4 (How many triangles to make) would be 3 (The sides of the triangles) Tadaaa. *_Jazz hands :>_*
+Guìlty Kìng “Smol Bun” Without breaking them just put 2 triangles on top of each other, one facing down and other up. You get 6 equal triangles on the edges of the 6-peak-star you just made i just beat the solution yeah bby B^)
The question implies that you only have access to one ray gun. People get this wrong because of the way the question is worded-they assume that this is current day real life and that you can't just pull 9 more ray guns out of your back pocket.
why cant i use 100 Ray guns on 1% or 5 Ray guns on 20% why do i have to use 10 Ray guns on 10% can i use 4 on 25% can i use 2 on 50% as long as i get a Total of 100% my patiënt wil life
Its all incorrect. This example can be directly correlated to lasers in real life. If you used 1 laser at 100 watts of power in one point, then you have 100 watts of energy in one point. However, if you use 10 lasers at 10 watts of power at one point, then you still have 100 watts of energy in the one point, which will still be as devastating at the 10 lasers at 10%. In fact lasers are being used this way to achieve greater burning power without needing a more powerful single laser. However in the end its just as destructive as anything else. The logic in this makes no fucking sense. how do hundreds of thousands of people cant understand it???
ri bohe Yep, so it seems there are only a few out of the hundreds of thousands in this comment section that has figured it out. Really depressing as this is what happens when idiots attempt to make a science channel about theories. They spread bullshit information.
+robert karas They go into the tissue in different areas. That's why the lasers are spread out around the patient, because all of the beams are hitting different points in the skin, yet they all center on the tumor inside of the tissue, thus not damaging the skin.
+Ema Žnidarec you could still take that one ray gun and shoot, then re-position to the next spot and shoot and get the exact same effect as proposed. Still gonna damage the other tissue though, but the DNA damage won't be as focused on one line of tissue...
wellllll actually from a biochemical standpoint any amount of radiation will damage cellular DNA and it does have a stack-up effect which eventually kills the cell so it does not have to be at the same time. Sort of like how it always takes several specific DNA mutations to form a cancer cell. In the real world (and this is actually starting to be done) one gun would work just fine and would be far more cost effective... But just to throw another solution out there, how about some reflectors that make it into several beams with one gun.
You said i had a ray gun to work with, not 10. Jesus christ. Also, it's not like there is only one solution to this problem, not everything else is wrong 😒
+Definitely Not B8ing 1 ray gun is more dangerous because it destroys the healthy tissue in its path. Since there are 10 ray guns used with less intensity at different angles the healthy tissue isn't damaged
in real radiotherapy they use 1 intense ray but its rotating around the tumor and has precision controled lead shields that change shape as you go around the tumor. so there is a solution using only 1 ray gun.
Yeah if I can create 9 rayguns out of thin matter. I can also just kill the tissue with it and create a new one. Who said I only have 1 tissue to work with. No problems if it is damaged when I have 2 right.
I bet that this 3% would roll down to 0% if your life depended on the answer given the misleadingly worded riddle. It is because how the riddle is worded as “a ray gun” properly interpreted there is basically no solution, not even with special x ray or gamma ray reflective material since that is also so special that the riddle should have mentioned it that you also have those at hand. Normal mirror doesn’t reflect X- ray nor Gamma Ray but mostly only visible light and visible light would not go through the many organic layers like skin, bone…etc. thus would not work in the first place.
about the match stick riddle, if you make a diamond/kite shape with some of the match sticks, then you can just make some sort of plus sign in the middle and then you have 4 equal sized triangles with 6 match sticks
It's a flawed question that's lacking all the information. "But, you do have *A*(emphasized for clarity) ray gun..." Therefore, given the tools that we know we have to solve the problem, we have a ray gun. We don't have 2, or 5, or 10. We have A ray gun. That's pretty damn critical information. I thought for a little while about this problem, and couldn't figure it out. I'm not saying that I was going to get it if I knew that I had more tools, but my chances were definitely better. For people who actually listen to the way the question is phrased, this is a problem without a solution.
But you could get the same outcome with only one ray gun going around in an exact circle while still aiming at the cancer because it would minimise the damage done to the normal cells because you wouldn't be hitting the same normal cells because the gun is moving around the body in a circle always hitting the cancer
Wait so does that mean 0.00000000001% of the people disagree or just the tips of their fingers disagree or what part of the people disagree? What 0.00000000001% of people disagree?
Yeah but each section of tissue receives 10% of the radiation. The centre point of the cross gets 100% while the rest of the body only gets a small amount. What they do more in real life is rotate the ray gun around the patient if that helps it make sense
I would say bounce the low power off of a mirror or reflective surface then into the tumor so the tissue is safe, but since it has been magnified slightly by the reflective surface, it would still kill the tumor
If he dies the tissue rots (maybe it dies even before the tumor)...... And if you can remove the tissue without killing him anyway, the whole question is nonsense.
smh i thought the doctor only had one, too. I'm not very smart, so i was guessin' something like putting a magnifier in front of the ray. I don't evwn know if that would have worked
This is so true ,making music in your head is so easy you can make the most insane kind of beats in your head but most of the time they get lost cause you don`t have the time to write them down or stuff like that same with lyrical music
you said I had A ray gun. as in ONE. not ten, cmon...
Thank you.
I also question the notion that 10 x 10% ray guns pointed at the same target as 1 x 100% ray gun doesn't do the same amount of damage to the healthy tissue. How should I know firsthand that the effects of ray guns are additive and vary depending on the type of tissue. The effects could have been cumulative and affect both types of tissue in the same way for all I know. Am-I missing something obvious here?
By reading other comments the explanation seems to be that the combined ray guns does affect a very accurate point in 3D space. Don't think that was even mentioned in the premise. It never occurred to me that combining many rays to the same spot wouldn't cause a big radius of damage thereby affecting the healthy tissue just as much as a single ray. Would have thought that doing this would cause a diffuse spherical damage even bigger than the linear one caused by a single ray.
***** I did reflect a bit on my previous comments. What I really meant was that the 3% success rate has much more to do with the incomplete premise rather than a lack of creative thinking. When you have a good grasp of the "ray-guns" physics it becomes a simple geometric problem that is easily solved by applying "intersection" which is learned in grade school...
i just said get a docter that can do surgery duhhh also this is unrealistic cuz you always have a partner when dealing with a patient so stfu
"You have >A< ray gun"
"Place 10 ray guns"
Thanks.
You happen to work in a hospital and that hospital may have 9 more ray guns thats currently not being used. So you use them. Hehe
+Someone In The Crowd If you don't have time to operate I doubt you'd have time to run around the hospital looking for ray guns or even setting up an elaborate 10 gun system to shoot at once
Pygmy Rhino They never said you didn't have time to operate, only that you couldn't operate.
TheSavageNerds I guess that's what thinking out of the box means
o0ss Bingo.
You have a ray gun. But ten around the patient. Any one else see the problem?
*put
yes, the problem is you don't think outside the box, I suggest also getting some pisces as friends
Nick Lopez I was following the rules. Now if it didn't specify how many ray guns we had then I would forgive it. But it specifically said "a" raygun meaning one. Changing the rules of the riddle doesn't mean you solved it so yeah. Of course I thought of other ways this could work with one raygun.
Nico Cornejo but riddles are always there to trick you just like the riddle if a rooster lays an egg on a house which way will it roll, solution: roosters don't lay eggs hens do, here's another one, what weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks, solution: they both weigh the same since its a pound; thus dude there are a bunch of riddles just like the one with the ray gun
Nick Lopez Except those make sense. It's impossible to have 10 ray guns if it SPECIFICALLY said 1. If it didn't have this information it would make sense because it's the perosns fault for not thinking outside of the box. But with this puzzle it specifically stated you only had one.
That's not fair! He says you have a ray gun, not multiple ray guns with adjustable intensity levels. Important info!
I also think the same answer haha :D
Papa Slap it is fair if you have a humongous creative personality you would of guessed it automaticly he never said you can't have more than 1 ray gun he said you have one ray gun
I also would have guessed that I could pray to god for the tumor to go away and it would work. He never said that god couldn't exist and that god couldn't remove tumors.
Casperd2100 Beautiful response.
You are not creative that's the truth
"You have A gun, what should you do?" "use 10 of them". I call this "test" bullshit.
yeah
Yeah!! 👿
Ikr it only says there is A gun
xD I said put it at 50%
ikr
IT SAID "A RAY GUN"
AS IN ONE RAY GUN
THAT IT NOT OKAY
That is where you Are supposed to use your Creativity!!
Fangirl2202 I thought you cut open the patient's abdomen and shot the ray gun only where the tumours were to decrease damage to healthy tissue.
exactly!
same
YOU COULD ALSO PRAY FOR THE TUMOR TO GO AWAY AND CONSIDER IT CREATIVE
"But you do have a ray gun."
You said A raygun, not multiple. Only 3% got it right because you asked it wrong.
seriously
ikr
you didn't take risks
Precisely
ikr, most people that got this wrong could figure it out irl.
I do not see why combing all the ray guns will not still kill the healthy tissue...
Siara Hughes because it does not have full power in a individual area if they are puting the ray gun from all side so not effecting a single area of are tissu . and they met at a single point where there is more ray coming from all other are with out effecting the tissu and they mixed up and make 100 % again because of the 10 ray gun at 10% each ... easy
That isn't how atomic physics work but Ok.
Siara Hughes think waves.. combining..
true. if all ray guns are surrounding the tumor and are at 10% then the healthy tissue will still be damaged due to the combined power of the ray guns...
Yea my ans was set it to medium
How was I supposed to know I had ten ray guns????
***** It made it sound like you only had one gun. I thought that using ten guns would be considered cheating.
But it said "a ray gun" what means one ray gun... Not ten!!!
Its like saying 1 + 1 = 3 and call it creativity... 1 + 1 is 2 and that is how it will allways be...
Oscar Exactly! Choosing ten ray guns sounds like cheating. They tell you that you have _a_ ray gun, as in one. How on Earth can you figure that somehow, you have _ten_ ray guns?! It doesn't make sense.
that's the thing it's a riddle you gotta think outside the box
You have A gun.
A gun.
Not multiple guns.
I call bullshit.
I know ay cause like this riddles a whole lotta bullshit
+Wolverine Otter (kit-katkitty-catkitten) that's nonsense, besides, if he said directly that you have access to a 10, you'd think that you should use those 10 in some way, until you find out how. This, will in fact, make its a whole lot more easier for people to find the answer uselessly, without creativity.
I have a dog in my backyard. I haven't seen it for a few weeks. Is it dead? Please tell me. You apparently have enough information.
hidethechildren
You haven't looked in your backyard for a few weeks.
Gilian Rüsterholz Yeah. Sammy Bray should be able to tell if my dog is dead, right? I gave him more than enough information. He should figure the rest out with his creativity. He made it sound easy.
You said I had "a ray gun", implying I only had access to one.
NOT.
*TEN.*
I actually was just going to say that and Ikr
EXACTLY!
+aprilblenk you can split the beam using partial reflection mirrors and redirect the fractions to the "hot spot".
LeanLikeACholo q
+LeanLikeACholo mate, that's just called being a genius not creativity
No wonder only 3% pass the test, the other subjects lent their ray guns out to them.
lol
"You do have A ray gun" not 10 wtf
Mirror to reflect rays?
Precisely.
You can split the beam of one ray gun into multiple weaker beams.
that's what I thought !!!!!!! a=1 not 10
+Tymski And you expect the average joe to know that?
Having one ray gun then suddenly having ten is just cheating the question. This doesn't answer the question. It changes it
Exactly
+AmalGatroN Could just move ray gun around (to pass through multiple different areas of tissue, and avoid staying on one region for too long) whilst keeping it pointed at tumor. Problem solved :)
Nooooo just be fucking creative and Randy The Dolphin will slap you across the face and it will give you duplicating superpowers
+Oydle nope, the ray guns need to shoot at the same time. what u propose has the same effect as turning the ray gun on and off 10x. changing its position wont matter, shooting from 10 different angles to the same point at the same time does.
Tom Kummer I think you are right. My bad. I had assumed that the effective total radiation dose was the key here, but if it's the intensity alone which matters, then yes, you need more ray guns.
Edit: Or a complicated set of mirrors..
"Three houses are on fire with people inside. You have one ladder. You can only save one house. How can you save them all? The answer: you use a helicopter."

there yah go

The question was like " You have two apples, you give three apples to John, how many elephants passed the river?"
The answer is today is Thursday
The answer is three apples ate ten elephants.
Your ans is zero
The answer is 1 baby elephant. You ordered 1 apple so you can give 3 to John but that required delivery so they sent a baby elephant across the river to give you the apple.
You are just not creative enough 😂
Turns out I wasn't careful enough when I summarized that first riddle. Here's the original wording of the problem
"Suppose you are a doctor faced with a patient who has a malignant
tumor in his stomach. It is impossible to operate on the patient, but unless
the tumor is destroyed the patient will die. There is a kind of ray that can
be used to destroy the tumor. If the rays reach the tumor all at once at a
sufficiently high intensity, the tumor will be destroyed. Unfortunately, at
this intensity the healthy tissue that the rays pass through on the way to
the tumor will also be destroyed. At lower intensities the rays are harm-
less to healthy tissue, but they will not affect the tumor either. What type
of procedure might be used to destroy the tumor with the rays, and at the
same time avoid destroying the healthy tissue?"
Bite Size Psych This wording makes it way easier to get to the solution than the wording you used in the video.
***** I'm not sure if it would. The middle intensity wouldn't be able to destroy the tumour :/
Bite Size Psych While they are asleep, cut their stomach open and blast at the tumor at 100%.
Bite Size Psych I listened to it twice and changed the wording in my head because it didn't seem right. I came up with two theories and I did get it right.
***** that's what I said too!
Thats bullshit because there is no way for us to know that tissue-sensitive intensity wasn't additive. I call this the worst creative test ever.
+Daniel
Actually the video hoped you'd know (at least the barebones) about electromagnetic radiation.
+Varun Singh this is a creative test, not a test on electromagnetic radiation
Ben Fung Fook
If I tell you to bring me some water. You're not going to bring it in your hand because you know water behaves like a fluid. Everybody does.
The concept that two weak beams of light can merge into a stronger beam is similar. Just experiment by turning two torches on at once.
(By electromagnetic radiation, I meant light, because that's what it is.)
Varun Singh I get what you're saying but not everyone interacts with light in this way, at least not to the same degree that they interact with water
Ben Fung Fook
Touche
But still, people know two torches are brighter than one.
The test is pointless though because you were supposed to have "a ray gun".
I was thinking about that, but you said I have A ray gun!!! A ray gun is NOT 10 ray guns!
Exactly!
You can have 10 ray guns and still have "A" ray gun.
As long as you don't have less than ONE ray gun, you will still have "A" ray gun.
EXACTLY! They trick us
+Violet Violets there wasn't enough information in the starting riddle, you are lead to believe that you only have one ray gun thanks to the wording and the animation
Yeah, but I thought - what if you had two rayguns and focused on the tumour. That's 50% intensity. It's still possible to get past a badly worded question, which is what scientists do every day, as nature doesn't pose most questions coherently.
More videos on Creativity
ruclips.net/video/PeAdSdAMZRw/видео.html
The question was implying one ray gun. Not TEN. Re-word the question and that percentage will jump up from 3% to 75%.
Exactly.
That's what I was going to say
+joseph10097 Implying that you can use more than one would give away the answer, maybe rephrase it to, you´ve developed, then coming up with the idea of using 10 would still require creative thinking, and might still be close to 3%
Yes, but without any knowledge of the fact you even have access to more than a single gun, it is impossible. It's like saying you have made an amazing cure, but there are 10 sick people. To solve this you make 10 more. This is unreasonable because it doesn't say you can make any more -and things require materials to create.
+Miguel! I Draw! If you invent something it is the reasonable thing to asume that you can make more.
All these people bitching about ''A ray gun''
I'll made B ray gun that doesnt damage the tissue but kills tumor
now thats creative
that made me laugh so hard XD
you made my day
but your pacient is dying in these exactly moments xD
Soy F
It doesnt say anywhere that the patient has to survive hehehe
Kriss Soldo (under breath) this guy is good
The video said "A ray gun" implying you had ONLY ONE.
+Matt Sinotte Earth to Matt...the real world does have CONSTRAINTS. For example, engineers have to work within constraints all of the time including only "so much material" or " so much money" or "so much time". These are all valid, REAL WORLD, constraints.
The real creativity is working within those constraints to find a solution.
When you have enough experience in the real world get back to me. Then we can have an actual discussion.
+Matt Sinotte like I said....come back in a few years after you get some actual real world experience under your belt.
+Scallywag This guy is in college probably working his ass off trying to get smarter and better at what he does, while you sit there and criticize him for not having enough "real world experience".
+Samuel Hensinger yes because being smart or a smart ass like him is one thing. Having real world experience is entirely different. I hope Matt finds his dreams and has the best of both worlds; smarts and experience. I can't fault the guy, just his logic that isn't based in the "real world".
+Matt Sinotte that's not creative the video literally stated ONE ray gun. In that case then I'll do surgery wait that's against the rules? nah I'm being creative. Besides the top comment stated that the a ray gun thing was a mistake so just admit your wrong m8.
still isn't a good solution...the combined radiation has a lethal level up to a certain radius. This would be a perfect sphere. However, the tumor is not a perfect sphere. Therefore with this solution, it would be impossible to get rid of the tumor without hurting cells. If you really wanted to get rid of the entirety of the tumor, you would have to destroy some healthy cells as well...
Vigo Hornblower actully it is the best idea because when your shooting one ray gun your shooting one spot of the tumor and when you do that it puts all the pressure on one spot if you use ten and put them on 10% it puts the same amount of pressure on each spot of the tumur allowing the doctor to kill the tumur without putting all the pressure on the protective tissue im the most creative in my family
My answer was to buy a different ray gun that had a medium level of intensity, or to get a ray gun that had less toxins that would kill your tissue.
Depending where the tumour was I thought of first making an incision and shooting the ray gun through the hole to damage less tissue. Maybe that's dumb but it was my first idea (I'm no doctor)
actually that is how radiotherapy works
Vigo, ah true to the sphere. But what if you are making that sphere smaller then the tumor? Then you can just move the rays around to destroy it.
You have a ray gun...
You place ten ray guns...
uhhh
Yeah I was about to comment, how are you gonna place 10 ray guns around him if you only have one ray gun
Yeah because of him being wrong in the 10 I thought he answer would be a focus point
You could rotate the one ray gun at full capacity. The healthy tissue would get the full brunt of energy for a small amount of time, which unless it's high enough to cause instantaneous permanent damage won't hurt the tissue (and if it does, then lower capacity on the laser would be sufficient with the proposed method). The unheathy cells would get the full energy brunt all the time, since it's in the middle regardless of which way you beam it from.
Nice one
Yeah, there's a lot of different solutions. You could also use surgery to get the one ray gun in a position where it won't damage healthy tissue, while still not operating on the tumer.
Also, 10 ray guns wouldn't work. First, why 10? Anything less than 100% should work without a specific level mentioned. Second, that only kills cells at one tiny point. Make the beams larger and you damage healthy cells. You would have to constantly adjust each gun by hand, grt them all to line up,and repeat dozens of times.
And as you suggested, a potential cumulative effect could be used in a number of ways that would allow you to use one gun to kill the tumor.
"U have a ray gun... U place 10 Ray guns." If I could just apply the logic to spending like "I have one dollar... So I can spend $10 with going into debt."
I actually laughed
exactly the logic here
So use the one ray gun, and rotate it around the patient.
Unfortunately you're right.
I have A* dollar
Let's set some shit straight. This riddle was unsolvable. You people can talk about how you simply had to be creative to use more than one gun, but the riddle says that you have *A*raygun. A as in a single Ray gun. Not rayguns, a raygun. It also says that you patient is dying and needs treatment so fast that operation is not an option. Allocation of additional rayguns is entirely illogical. You would be right in saying that it is creative thinking to imagine up 9 more rayguns, however, in the context of the video as a whole, that makes no sense. He talks about the use of creativity in business leaders. Let's say you're a CEO. You need 10 million dollars for a project that needs to be approved in a few minutes. You have 1 million readily available. How to you approve the new project assuming all of the money needs to be turned in at the start. The answer is that you can't. You don't have the 9 million, and you don't have the time to redirect the funds from other projects to this one, seeing that there are rules and guidelines to be followed in moving such large amounts of money. You can't imagine up 9 extra million dollars. So you can be creative all you want, but you have to be realistic at the same time when solving riddles like these, and the answer to this was nowhere near realistic.
(EDIT) - In retrospect, the solution itself is false. Putting 10 rayguns at 10% power is the same thing as 1 at full power, due to the concept of constructive interference. When waves of any kind (which a ray gun would most certainly use), overlap, if they both have positive amplitudes (and these rayguns would in fact have identical amplitudes and frequencies), then the power of the waves are added. So 10 at 10% is the same as 1 at 100% making this answer ENTIRELY INCORRECT.
(2nd edit) Constructive interference is why their solution with multiple ray guns would work (if they had multiple rayguns that is), but it's impossible to avoid damaging healthy tissue using that method. There would be unavoidable overlap, meaning that their entire theory was wrong in the first place.
yes you are right bro, fuck this, bite size psych has several bullshit moments in their videos
I also took the question as literal and tried to work with that. Closest I got was using a low strength laser with some kind of focusing lense.
I was pretty disappointed to find the goalposts moved int he answer.
Another problem I saw, was that he didn't tell how low "low intensity" was. It could've been in this case that the healthy tissue gets damaged when firing a railgun with an intensity of 40% or higher of it's maximum possible intensity, which would mean that you'd just need 3 of these railguns firing at an intensity of like 35% or so to kill the tumour without damaging anything else. It just bothered me that he was saying this exact amount of 10 railguns when it really could've been any amount because the problem hasn't been defined enough.
Ryan J I mean the only reason we have creativity is to get away from all that complicated junk. Obviously Ben Franklin didn't give a flying flip when he got that kite and key during a storm he could've gotten killed because that lightning bolt could've did some damage but thankfully to his luck he wasn't and invented electricity. Therefore we human beings don't care about anything if we are creative and have a wicked, crazy, and looney mind.
batnay K Your point is totally irrelevant. First of all, the whole Benjamin Franklin and the kite thing, never happened. It's a folk tale, based on a real person. Second of all, to be of any use, creativity must be used while also considering reality. That "complicated junk" is real life, and you cannot get around it by thinking your way past it. It is still there, and no matter how many ray guns you wish you had, you still only have one.
oh dude thinking out of box doesn't means changing conditions of questions...so 10 guns huh?
The rays had percentage settings? If we knew that, we could have solved the problem with ease.
+Blue W I think saying Low and high intensity settings should be enough. My answer was two ray guns at low intensity. I got the gist so I'm counting it as a win.
I think that's what he meant with "thinking out of the box"
+Sally D Me too but thats the dumbest answer you can probally have for this xD
+PaddyMacNasty But he said you have a raygun, which can only mean one thing. There was only one gun as far as you knew. When did it say you had more? With the information given, you suggested an idea that required something you didn't even know existed.
+Karat Carrot Seriously. Creativity =/= Crazy Solutions
:( I thought I only had one ray gun.....
So.... I can borrow from other players of this riddle or what....?
yes for every 1 person that solves it 9 have to do it without a ray gun at all ! :^)
+mathardo XD lol, so we take ten patients and decide which one is worth the sacrifice of the others? Can't we just operate on one, then pass the ten ray guns to the next patient that's waiting?
+Falling Up see ! you got the purpose of the video after all ! that's creative thinking. ;)
+Falling Up lol
Ikr
Q:you have a ray gun what do you do
A:you use 10 of them
nice logic
+Nikola Kostić I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
Not only that, but I thought there were only two vague settings: "high intensity" and "low intensity." You can't aim 10 ray guns unless you know that you can set them to precisely 10% intensity, which was never an option. I mean, if I can use my "creativity" to dream up options that aren't presented in the riddle, then I might as well dream I have magical healing powers and can do whatever I want.
Also, you would have to have *miraculously* precise aim and timing to completely destroy the tumour and never damage any healthy tissue. I say, even with the proposed "creative" solution, that patient is *FUCKED*.
I really wonder if this riddle could be phrased in a better way, or about a different scenario, so that the solution actually works realistically.
yip, I agree
ten of them but "with Lower power" the idea have to be completed
By that logic, the answer might as well be "find a surgeon who can remove the tumor for you"
This is definitely one of those things where they depict creativity as being totally separate from logic to an absurd point
This was literally the riddle: How do you get 2+3 to equal 10?
The answer is to add 5 to 2+3.
Accurately compared👌
only 3% :l i get why
Because of creativity
BECAUSE ONLY 3% ARE THAT STUPID TO MAKE THAT ONE ANSWER. I though hey use more beams to surround a powerful beam minimizing the damage but also didn't say how the guns worked plasma my idea would be sound but not lazer beams and what is a ray?
lmao
You told me I only had _a_ ray gun, where did the other 9 come from
In order for that to work, I'd have to set up a prism to split the outgoing beam into 10 beams, then uses precisely aimed mirrors to converge them from different angles at the tumor
And that just opens the question
Why the hell do the individual beams need to be at 10%? You could accomplish the same thing by using 2 beams at 50% each
I thought : That guys said, "Imagine you're a doctor." So, imagine that the tumor disappears. Am I wrong?
😂😂😂
+Gfvkk Chsi you lose you job if you do that then you lose your money and then no one is happy do you want that!?
Then, I can imagine that I am a billionaire that never lost his/her job, and everyone is happy. What about that?
lol
We'll…that's creative
u did say “imagine you’re a doctor”, so who says I can’t just imagine a ray gun that doesn’t damage the tissue?
Ahahahaha that's what I imagined XD
Thats true this isnt 100 percent accurate it still has flaws but involves creativity
Those are just the conditions fool
My answer was just imagine the patient without a tumor. Ha!
same omg haha
Uhm... You said one ray gun. Not ten. Wtf.
he bought them
Doesn't say that you can do that. In the rules of the riddle, the gun is one of a kind, and can't be modified or improved. Or you can go the route of "but they didn't say that", which at that point you've entered into Deus Ex Machina territory, and litteraly anything that solves the problem is correct. "How do you get rid of the tumor" I improve the gun so that it doesn't kill healthy tissue now. That's the same thing.
+PAUL MCF thats why you think out of the box teachers shouldve learned you not to study paragraphs by heart
+ Cupcake Cake "A" implies singular. This isn't a problem with education; it's a problem of the British guy not knowing how to speak English.
***** It appears you don't know how to speak English.
GREEN IS NOT A CREATIVE COLOUR
What's your favourite idea?
MINE IS BEING CREATIVE
thinking about it, since green is not a primary color, and the majority of people's favorite colours are red and blue, I'd say green is extremely creative.
and yes I know the DHMIS reference
TheDerpyDisaster
Ikr?! Green is creative af! The notebook was just salty 😂
If green is creative af how creative is f
What if you do not ray constantly but use a frequency on the ray gun. The intensity will kill the tumour but the energy will not build up on the tissue
Holy shit 3% of the earth's civilization actually thinks the statement "you have a ray gun" means you can use ten ray guns?
why the fuck is it ten and not two or three? Ofcourse only 3% of the population solved this.
3% of people who were involved with the test... not 3% of the entire population. That makes no sense.
John Holmes Wow that's hilarious. Not all of earth's civilization has seen that test.
John Holmes lmao
I just thought move it around each time using only one with small dosis :p
I've got an answer for the matches one. Get another 6 matches because apparently were allowed to pull stuff out of our ass in these riddles, then make 4 triangles from 3 matchsticks each.
That's thinking outside of the box; this answer is as valid as any other.
Pygmy Rhino lets just make a match house since apparently we have a match stick factory next to us...
XD
Lmaooo I'm cryiiing 😂😂😭
Or just mould a (3D) pyramid with 3 corners and you're done haha
0:09 You do have "a" ray gun.
Now where does other 9 came from?
+Shivam Tyagi man he was just mentioning the existence of the tool. Why would you limit yourself in the number of ray gun you can use when you're trying to cure a tumor?? x)
+CerseiDM it's not that you yourself is limiting the number of ray guns using the term "a ray gun" implys you are only given one
no but there you implied it was one of these little puzzle games where people deliberately limits yours resources and you have to find a crazy solution with ONLY the tools given. I believe the mistake people make here is to not see that this was a medical/real life problem and not a game. If you put yourself in the head of a researcher or a doctor, then you won't even think that the number of guns at your disposition to save a life would be limited.
I think it's the way the question is asked (it looks like this kind of game with limited tools) that trick people and forbid them to see the answer. It doesn't mean people aren't creative, I'm sure if you tell people "it's a real life problem not a puzzle game" many more would find the answer.
Snapping your fingers won't work. But if you were confident that operating was possible and safe, then yes it would be another solution to the problem (whether the people asking the question would accept the answer or not I would not care, a good solution is a good solution).
But I do not possess the knowledge of whether operating is possible and/or safe. This video just told me about how ray guns work. So it makes more sense to first try to come up with a solution with the ray guns. If you can't find any, then looking for alternative solutions like surgery is good (and creative) rather than give up :)
Surgery is probably way more dangerous than the ray guns though so it's cool that we have ray guns!
PS: anyway I think their "test of creativity" is very flawed here.
+FabledDaniel same
i Thought I had only one ray gun so my solution was to use a series of well arranged reflective surfaces to make the low intensity rays pass the body only one time per part while making it pass multiple time on the location of the tumor. problem solved life saved money saved (I can use only one gun) now where is my success?
can we actually do that with one ray of light?
DnVrDt great idea man
DnVrDt. i think you're the winner
I thought of reflective surfaces too
You do have A raygun...keyword A meaning 1.
I know! When I saw the answer I was like, but you said we only got ONE ray gun not 10... -_-
thank you! that's what I was thinking
OMG for realz!
You can split the beam of one ray gun into multiple weaker beams.
Creativity is the ability to think beyond limits. Imagining the ability till have more than one gun is the actual creative part.
I said take two ray guns at 50%, but in the starting you said you have a ray gun, meaning only one
A gun can fire more than one shot and can be moved between shots.
+William Knowles The gun would have to move at a superluminal velocity (faster than the speed of light) in order to do what you have proposed. Even if you found a way to move the gun at the speed of light, which is physically impossible, the light would never intersect with itself to produce more than the original intensity.
Reflect the beam set to 10% at least 9 times with some mirrors to the tumoral tissue and you're fine.
+Leonardo Zanetti after each reflection, the intensity that each reflected ray carries keeps decreasing.... so it's not possible :/
dark panda Then just set the beam to 100% put a prism that divides the beam in 10 and those 10 with mirrors get deflected to the tissue.
You said "A ray gun" not "ray guns". You can't say that people who don't think of an answer aren't creative. They are just better at following the rules and thinking logically.
Fucking conformist.
why would he be a conformist?
Take 4 matches to make a square then take the other 2 and make a cross in the middle. You will then have 4 right-angled triangles.
SuperEddie Gaming The sides have to be of equal length.
The solution is to actually make a pyramid.
Alex Stefanov
how do you make a pyramid with 6 matches?
SuperEddie Gaming the diagonal of a square is 1.414times the side of a square. if each stick is of length 'a' ,then the diagonal sticks should be 1.414×a.
Yoav Sigler with a triangular base
I realize I am a bit late to this effort, but the simplest answer I can see is make I triangle from 3 point up, then placing the remaining three so they form another triangle in the middle of the first point down, but excess match sticks out beyond sides of the first... easier to draw. End up with 4 triangles all inside the first, of equal sides, essentially half a match stick.
how can there only be one solution to a creativity test?
cat 95 There are possibly more. As the riddle did not specify how many intensities the ray had, I thought that a middle or medium intensity would be evened out, sort of like goldie-locks. It could kill the tumor but be harmless to the tissue of the skin.
+cat 95 Another solution, the one I've heard of before I saw this video, was to mount the laser on a robotic arm that would move around the patient in a sphere, but track to always be aiming at the tumor. Reduce the power so that it takes a few minutes of concentrated firing to destroy a cell, and keep it moving. If the laser can't be moved, then the patient can be tracked around instead.
You never said I had ten rail guns I was thinking of putting mirrors so that it would bounce off one mirror and be a little less strong then bounce off to another. Do this shot at 5 different points until all lowered shots hit the person. I think too much I should shut up now.
THIS is actually a working solution, if you position the mirrors so that each time, you cut off enough to let 10% of the original ray pass through.
o
I'm pretty sure 10 rail guns would obliterate the person
Oh it would actually work? Damn
+Thomas Toledo ~ No that's not what he's saying. He's saying a rail gun (which you said in your OP and which is completely different from a ray gun) would completely destroy your vict... patient, not heal him.
He said A ray gun, not ten god damn ray guns.
"You do have A ray gun." - "The solution is very clever. You put TEN rayguns around the patient"
How am I supposed to know 10 ray guns combined will not hurt the healthy tissues? You said it provides the same power.
dodekeract How am I supposed to know all of those 10% will add up if focused? I don't how those things even work!
dodekeract I somehow don't find it so obvious.
At the point where all 10 of the ray guns converge, you have a high intensity beam I guess? So you get to pick and choose EXACTLY where that high intensity spot is. I got it wrong too, cause I thought I only had the one ray gun, and I had no idea how the rays worked. EM waves would have destructive or constructive interference, radiation doesn't seem to work that way, etc. The solution I came up with, given the sparse information and no mention of limits besides "Don't damage healthy tissue with the ray gun," was to let the patient die, then cremate them with the ray gun. The objective is to remove the tumor without damaging healthy tissue. Dead tissue isn't healthy. Etc.
I know right? It's stupid.
+hidethechildren it still ends up being the same power and you can concentrate 1 ray gun just as good of not better than 10
Wouldn't The combination of low intensities from the multiple rayguns have the same effect to the tissue as one rayguns at high intensity???
Raygun*
+Philip Mills he also said "a Raygun" not multiple. The question was deceiving at the start.
+Philip Mills but pointed from different directions so it means passing thru different tissues.
+Philip Mills Actually not. Think of this comparison: If you hold a finger in a fire for 10 seconds you will get burnt and possibly permanently damage the skin on your finger. But if you hold each of your 10 fingers in the fire for just 1, or even 2, seconds, they will all probably be fine, with no permanent damage.
+PaulMag But same with the tumor then...
Hmm... still working within the rules of having *a* ray gun, couldn't you use a prism to break the ray up into 10 weaker beams, redirect each one through a mirrors, then focus them on a single point?
It's possible, but since the refraction index is less than unity, the combined force would be weaker than the original ray. So not a great idea...
You could always get a stronger gun, or increase the power or whatever. But that seems to be beside the point. I.e you wouldn't solve the paradox within it's original context, you would be changing the subject.
Of course you can. It's a bullshit question. He gave us a problem - kill the tumour. He gave us our tools - a ray gun. He gave us the limitations - don't harm healthy tissue. Then he conjured up 9 other ray guns out of nothing. If that counts as a legitimate answer, then you can certainly apply a series of mirrors and prisms to the problem.
it is also a very smart idea, because then u could use interference, beeing WAY more effective
Hmmm .... Interesting perspective
that's kind of similar to what I thought
for the riddle with matches... make a square with four matches then use the other two as perpendicular bisector for both of the two opposite sides making 4 equal sized squares
6 matchs 4 triangles.
4 matchs do a square, plus 2 matchs in diagonal.
Your triangles don't have sides of equal length.
Brake the matches in half.
+Edson de S. e Silva Ok, I missed the equals side part only made equals triangles, I can make them equals side.
This is at least as valid as breaking in half to double matches.
/// + \ and a match on top other on base.
I didn't understand your answer. But I have a better one. Build a tetrahedron!
i havent even tried becuase wasn't sure if it was equal sides to eachother triangle or all sides of all triangles need to be the same size
sorry, they don't fill the space. it's kind of a small x in the middle of the square. unless you overlapped the matchsticks so the square was smaller.
You guys said we had "A" ray gun which means we have only ONE ray gun. Not multiple rays guns so ur answer is technically not correct...
Tho ofc I may be wrong...
You need to buy milk in a vending machine for 3$. You only have a 5$ coin and the vending machine doesn't give change. There are no shops to get change, and your friends won't help you because they hate you. How do you make sure you won't overpay for the milk?
You pay with a 3$ coin you have in your back pocket.
Only 3% of the population are creative enough for this.
If someone tells me I have only one item, I don't assume that I have two items instead. If I only have a ( article used for single nouns) $5, then that is the only coin I have, I could pay with 3 $1 BILLS, but not with coins because I have only A coin, but saying I only have this denomination coin means I have no other denomination coins.
I understand the idea behind this but again like so many people has said before me you only said one ray gun. "A" means one. The reason why we didn't get that answer isn't because we're not creative its because those other change the parameters of the scenario. stating that you could have more than one ray guy would of giving the answer away but this question was flawed to begin with
so your saying the real answer to riddle is to create a time machine and prevent him from getting sick?
Or use alien technology and remove the organ operate and replace it back fully fixed?
ORRRRR MAGIC!! All riddles have assumed logic and boundaries. I understand a person with prior knowledge to how ray-guns work would be at an advantage (if all ray-guns have the same) compared to the rest of us But if we just pick and choose our own limits its opens the riiddle up to an infinite amount of answers. All we know it has a high intensity and a low, the way its referred to is implied singular and the condition of the patient. Everything else is pure make believe!
"The ray" "a ray" "Actually the answer is a bunch of rays"
This, like many other riddles online is crap. The riddle states that you have A raygun. Meaning one. If the riddle said you had 10 rayguns well then it's pretty darn easy to arrive at the answer now isn't it?
The answer assumes that there the doctor has 10 ray-guns available when one of the first things said is that the doctor has a single ray-gun. No wonder only 3% 'get' the answer.
Zander Cohen And why specifically 10 at 10%? Each "ray" would be 20% so you could just do 5 guns at 20% since the rays don't magically stop at the tumor site. And since we can have multiple, why not 2 rays at 50%?
Zander Cohen you could just use a beam splitter, 10 ray guns are not necessary.
I was under the impression that I only had one ray gun... not 10. I wouldn't have been able to figure this riddle out, given the information I was provided, and I'm sure a large portion of the 97% who get this question wrong feel the same. I don't find this riddle to be an accurate indicator of one's creativity unless creativity is considered putting your own spin on the premise. If that's the case, I can just say I was able to find a ray gun in my pocket that can kill tumors without damaging tissue and the answer to this riddle would be I'd just use that ray gun I found. Sorry, I just hate open ended riddles and how people think you get it wrong because you didn't arrive at the same answer as someone who believes they have the correct answer. In actuality, I believe a riddle like this is more of a thought experiment than a question with one answer that only 3% of people can solve...
Other than that, I really enjoy your videos =D
Perfect comment
+FunnyBuns1 The real answer (as actually used in hospitals) is that you *do* only have one raygun, but you fire it from 10 (or more) different positions in quick succession.
Now that's creative
+FunnyBuns1 Not really a bit more intellectual
+Joe Hartigan-Fleming this wouldn't really work since the whole thing has to happen at the same time, you can't move one gun to 10 different angles fast enough so that the rays will Hit the Tumor at tue Same time
I thought the solution was to bring the ray gun a few feet backwards to lower the intensity. Close enough.
He said: "You do have a ray gun." One fucking ray gun. Not ten.
There are 5,000 hungry people and you have a loaf of bread and a fish. How do you feed them? Take 5,000 bread and fish and give each person one.
So if you rob up another 9 ray guns from 9 other people taking this test then they all fail? Unluckyyy
I see you...
Mr. Price Hmmmm
+MrFunkyHypnoCat I know, you just happen to be able to phase yourself, fo you reach in with a scalpel and operate like that. Easy!
i should not have scrolled down this comment just spoiled the answer for me
+Ariphael don't worry there isn't a correct answer to this......
The problem with the first one:
a) You said I have A ray gun, not multiple.
b) If a ray gun at low intensity doesnt kill the tumor, but one at high intensity does (and damages tissues), wouldnt 10 ray guns at low intensity have the same effect as one with high and still damage the tissue?
there's just me saying "Put it in middle intensity"
Same
Ikr simple as that like wtf
It said if you put it low enough so it won't destroy the healthy tissue it can't destroy the tumor so medium would destroy the healthy tissue
me toooo :3
Ye
"A" ray gun as in a single ray gun. the phrasing in the question could be refined.
just cut open the area, and shoot the tumor directly and then stitch them back up was my first thought when asked the question.
That's what I thought too
Me too I thought I was the only one
I said that and just shoot them through their mouth
I was about to say that but then I realized two things: you would be damaging the tissue so maybe that disqualifies the answer and you would still be hitting 100% power at the healthy tissue behind the tumor. Regardless with "A ray gun" the "creative" answer can't be the solution.
You were not paying any attention to the video then. It says you cant perform surgery!
to answer the end question, if you make a square out of the matches and cross the other 2 over you get 4 triangles of equal length. in quote of hanzo, sinple geometry.
or just do medium intensity instead of cloning yourself nine times -_-
exactly what I thought
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
Exactly what i was thinking
That's what I thought lol
+Wumbo123 I was thinking that!
Since when does "A ray gun" imply ten ray guns instead of just the one? Just a misleading question for a bullshit test.
+aDotFromTheFuture
ikr
+aDotFromTheFuture That's the point of question. It's all hypothetical, you're supposed to use cognitive thinking to create a solution with very limited information.
I was thinking the same thing
Fucking retarted riddle. It literally gave ME a tumor.
Lol, I just thought, "Oh just cut his healthy tissue open and sew it back later." XD I'm not creative at all.
+SgtsForge :
Pretty much. "Inoperable" just means the tumor can't be removed without damaging blood vessels or nerves that are closely entwined with it. Here, they can make a large enough incision to see the tumor, and then zap it. In real life, this is actually done with brain tumors, except they use liquid nitrogen instead of a "ray gun".
Me too!
I did it too
in a creativity test should be more than one 'right' answer
besides the most creative answer to a problem is hardly ever the most practicable
"You have one ray gun to cure a cancerous tumor, what do you do?" "Use 10 of them" wow.
Question says you have a ray gun singular not ray guns
I said set it to medium
+Tyler Wolf Same.
If we assume that the tumor is in the stomach we can insert an optic cable through the mouth and use it to lead the laser beans directly to the tumor, also splitting the rays in ten and then rejoining them might cause damage to the nearest healthy tissue or simply resolving in a collected bean which hasn't got enough power to actually kill the tumor, because percentage of the beans power would be consumed while traveling through the healthy tissue before rejoining in the middle of the tumor.
How about breaking all the 6 matches into 2 pieces.
You'll end up with 12.
12 (How much pieces you need) divided by 4 (How many triangles to make) would be 3 (The sides of the triangles)
Tadaaa. *_Jazz hands :>_*
+Guìlty Kìng “Smol Bun” Without breaking them just put 2 triangles on top of each other, one facing down and other up.
You get 6 equal triangles on the edges of the 6-peak-star you just made
i just beat the solution yeah bby B^)
:0
GASP.
+GarketMardener Or just make a tetrahedron.
JLBat1993 Yhea but i got 6 triangles you got 4 lel :^)
build a square with 4 matches, take the other two for diagonals and you end up with four triangles
The question implies that you only have access to one ray gun. People get this wrong because of the way the question is worded-they assume that this is current day real life and that you can't just pull 9 more ray guns out of your back pocket.
why cant i use 100 Ray guns on 1%
or 5 Ray guns on 20%
why do i have to use 10 Ray guns on 10%
can i use 4 on 25%
can i use 2 on 50%
as long as i get a Total of 100% my patiënt wil life
Cuz anything over 10% damages the healthy tissues? I dunno
Its all incorrect. This example can be directly correlated to lasers in real life. If you used 1 laser at 100 watts of power in one point, then you have 100 watts of energy in one point. However, if you use 10 lasers at 10 watts of power at one point, then you still have 100 watts of energy in the one point, which will still be as devastating at the 10 lasers at 10%.
In fact lasers are being used this way to achieve greater burning power without needing a more powerful single laser. However in the end its just as destructive as anything else.
The logic in this makes no fucking sense. how do hundreds of thousands of people cant understand it???
+robert karas That's what I thought too. Wouldn't the lasers combined destroy the tissue just as much?
ri bohe Yep, so it seems there are only a few out of the hundreds of thousands in this comment section that has figured it out. Really depressing as this is what happens when idiots attempt to make a science channel about theories. They spread bullshit information.
+robert karas They go into the tissue in different areas. That's why the lasers are spread out around the patient, because all of the beams are hitting different points in the skin, yet they all center on the tumor inside of the tissue, thus not damaging the skin.
Lay two matches in the shape of an X, inside a square made from the other 4 matches. It does not say they must touch or cannot be over lapping.
He said A ray gun not 10 ray guns!Geez
+Ema Žnidarec you could still take that one ray gun and shoot, then re-position to the next spot and shoot and get the exact same effect as proposed. Still gonna damage the other tissue though, but the DNA damage won't be as focused on one line of tissue...
+ka da It has to be at the same time.
wellllll actually from a biochemical standpoint any amount of radiation will damage cellular DNA and it does have a stack-up effect which eventually kills the cell so it does not have to be at the same time. Sort of like how it always takes several specific DNA mutations to form a cancer cell. In the real world (and this is actually starting to be done) one gun would work just fine and would be far more cost effective...
But just to throw another solution out there, how about some reflectors that make it into several beams with one gun.
+ka da I would of had taken a mirror and used the reflection over time. Like starting a fire with glasses.
+ka da but there would still only be one beam in the end
You said i had a ray gun to work with, not 10. Jesus christ. Also, it's not like there is only one solution to this problem, not everything else is wrong 😒
+Definitely Not B8ing exactly
Ikr
+Definitely Not B8ing 1 ray gun is more dangerous because it destroys the healthy tissue in its path. Since there are 10 ray guns used with less intensity at different angles the healthy tissue isn't damaged
in real radiotherapy they use 1 intense ray but its rotating around the tumor and has precision controled lead shields that change shape as you go around the tumor. so there is a solution using only 1 ray gun.
Yeah if I can create 9 rayguns out of thin matter. I can also just kill the tissue with it and create a new one. Who said I only have 1 tissue to work with. No problems if it is damaged when I have 2 right.
only 3% pass because its fucking worded in a way that implies you have only one ray gun, not ten
True
Exactly!
But I got it right without focusing on the fact that he said A ray gun
Would it work with mirrors? LOL xD
I bet that this 3% would roll down to 0% if your life depended on the answer given the misleadingly worded riddle.
It is because how the riddle is worded as “a ray gun” properly interpreted there is basically no solution, not even with special x ray or gamma ray reflective material since that is also so special that the riddle should have mentioned it that you also have those at hand. Normal mirror doesn’t reflect X- ray nor Gamma Ray but mostly only visible light and visible light would not go through the many organic layers like skin, bone…etc. thus would not work in the first place.
about the match stick riddle, if you make a diamond/kite shape with some of the match sticks, then you can just make some sort of plus sign in the middle and then you have 4 equal sized triangles with 6 match sticks
It's a flawed question that's lacking all the information. "But, you do have *A*(emphasized for clarity) ray gun..." Therefore, given the tools that we know we have to solve the problem, we have a ray gun. We don't have 2, or 5, or 10. We have A ray gun. That's pretty damn critical information. I thought for a little while about this problem, and couldn't figure it out. I'm not saying that I was going to get it if I knew that I had more tools, but my chances were definitely better. For people who actually listen to the way the question is phrased, this is a problem without a solution.
What's your favourite idea? Mine is being creative.
+M11vk I used to think creatively
and then someone shot you with 10 ray guns?
Loki the Trixter I hope you get the main joke right now...
I'm just gonna... go...
Mine is being logical.
You have a ray gun
Solution: Use 10 ray guns.
+Ms. Chanandler Bong I thougt the same...
But you could get the same outcome with only one ray gun going around in an exact circle while still aiming at the cancer because it would minimise the damage done to the normal cells because you wouldn't be hitting the same normal cells because the gun is moving around the body in a circle always hitting the cancer
99.99999999999% of people:
"You were implying that there were one ray gun, not ten!"
Me:
"I agree."
100% agree I was mind pooped
same
Wait so does that mean 0.00000000001% of the people disagree or just the tips of their fingers disagree or what part of the people disagree? What 0.00000000001% of people disagree?
But I got it right without focusing on the fact that he said A ray gun
congrats :)
Ten ray guns would damage, even at low intensity, but one ray gun shot in quick succession would do kt, try wording these things better
actually no cause 3D X-ray are like this
Mark Valencia He still needs to word this better
Yeah but each section of tissue receives 10% of the radiation. The centre point of the cross gets 100% while the rest of the body only gets a small amount. What they do more in real life is rotate the ray gun around the patient if that helps it make sense
the triangle puzzle answer is a square with an x in the middle right?
Yeah, it is. Nice job!
or a triangular pyramid... that too right?
No, it's not. The two matches through the diagonal are not long enough.
+Enemy MOAB correct👍
oh.. i misread that.
i made 6 triangles - david star..
I would say bounce the low power off of a mirror or reflective surface then into the tumor so the tissue is safe, but since it has been magnified slightly by the reflective surface, it would still kill the tumor
I thought it was a trick question since you said you had a patient that was about to die... So I figured no saving them
actually that is right if he dies the tumor also dies and you dont damage the tissue
If he dies the tissue rots (maybe it dies even before the tumor)......
And if you can remove the tissue without killing him anyway, the whole question is nonsense.
Aaron Gould Ohhhh good thinking!
you do have A raygun. 1 and only one, i though
quite misleading
no it isnt...
smh i thought the doctor only had one, too. I'm not very smart, so i was guessin' something like putting a magnifier in front of the ray. I don't evwn know if that would have worked
Was going to comment this
The question specifically stated "But you do have A raygun" meaning that I have but a single one...
use mirrors ;)
+mathardo a mirror cannot split a beam as far as I know.
+TheZerogravityzones multiple mirrors can. Put them in a V shape and you have two put V shapes at the end of this and you have 4 etc.
+mathardo Yeah, two beams each at half intensity...
+mathardo it doesn't say you have mirrors.
This is so true ,making music in your head is so easy you can make the most insane kind of beats in your head but most of the time they get lost cause you don`t have the time to write them down or stuff like that same with lyrical music
