I thought the whole point in the uncle Developing the riddle is to prevent family members from badgering you. Now not only will they badger you, they’ll hate you for being smarter than them
I thought they'd pester because him leaving it all to you wasn't fair (at least to them). But if you earned it by figuring out the riddle, they'd just have to shut up and deal with it.
I figured this helped by giving them less of a legal leg to stand on. If you straight up leave someone out of the will, they can contest that they were forgotten about. This gives everyone an even shot at the prize and the niece has a lot more legal protection after having solved it fair and square. I've heard people recommend that, if there's someone in your circle you want to leave out of your will but you know would kick up a fuss, just leave them something pitiful like $1. It serves the same purpose of removing that "I was forgotten" argument.
Wait I just realized, what if the uncle wanted you to have the money, why didn’t he tell you that the answers were perfect squares. You can just pretend you found the answer on your own
@@trex8523 cuz the person giving the statement can't say any new information. the people don't know if their own eye color is the same as everyone else's. saying "all of you have the same eye color" is giving out new information.
Cqcrtdoesgaming you solve the riddle. thats it. you dont start writing whole story about whats gonna happen. what are gonna say next? who's gonna pay for her tuition fees?
actually, we did this in my 6th grade math class, and it was for a major grade, so... but actually, I was the first one to find the pattern, and when I watched this a few months later I was like "I know this! I can actually solve a teded riddle for once!"
The whole point of this riddle was to leave the inheritance to you with the added bonus of not having pestering relatives. So what is stopping the relatives from pestering you after the riddle is solved?
They got pwned by uncle Mathew's eccentric need to to make everything into a math puzzle, just because of his name. The shame spread them to the far corners of the earth.
as it said before, the relatives will find it unfair, so what the uncle trying to do is just make the other relatives look 'unworthy' for the money and he sure knew that the little girl will solve it
Andy Reiner if I were the uncle, I would’ve told her the answer, but I would’ve also told her to act and pretend that she didn’t know about the answer from the beginning. That would’ve resulted in the money being given to the girl without any of the riddle work and without the relatives bugging her

An algorithm, simply put, is “x + y”. You can expand that with “+”, “*”, “/“, & “-“ and any variable. That is a riddle. To help you, and others, if you disagree with me still... you are more than likely overthinking this. So.. break it down: create “layers” or steps to solving the problem. Instead of seeing, for example, that you have 3 projects and 2 papers do at the end of the semester/school year... You break it down to tasks of each of the projects/papers. You prioritize them... some factors of priority are time and dependency. 1) Time: Meaning some tasks are done over a period of time and can’t be done all at once (e.g. starting at 0 and wanting 100 fortnite wins). 2) Dependency: Meaning some tasks have to happen before others can happen. Or they depend on something to exist before the task itself can exist. (e.g You have to win 1 fortnite game before you can win the second.)
1:56 In the vid , have not watched the soultion . After some math I conclude that numbers *1 , 4 , 9 , 16 , 25 , 36 , 49 , 64 , 81 , 100* will remain open. The way I found out was I tried the sequence first with 6 lockers - with 6 moves . This left me with 2 numbers open - *1 and 4* . 2 numbers is not enough to figure out a sequence so I tried with 20 lockers this time . It’s a pain to do it before #11 move (before half) after that you simply move out all the numbers from *11-20* as they don’t have their doubles in the list (22 , 33 and 40 , 60) . So I ended up with lockers *1 , 4 , 9 , 16* open. After some time I figured out no other sequence than adding every next odd number to the prev one ( 1 + 3 = 4 , 4+5 = 9 , 9+7 = 16 , 16 + 9 = 25 .... until 100 ) Have no Idea if my solution is correct , will now watch the vid to find out , and will not delete this commenteven if I am wrong xD
There's mistake... I think.... You said that you added every "next" odd number to previous one.... You should've added 9 with 11 and not with 7.... Correct me if I misinterpreted
I started charting this out in Excel and quickly noticed the tendency towards square numbers, but I couldn't name the particular reason why - this video did a good job of explaining that.
I’m 11. I waited for him to answer it then, I thought about how it really worked. It’s quite simple after the answer is revealed and the you take time to think about it. I would have never thought of it but it makes sense.
My roundabout way of doing it was trying the first ten squares for the first ten numbers, realizing the pattern was 1 was on, then two spaces, then the next one was on, then four spaces, then the next one was on (so I figured it'd be just 2 bigger each time). This ended up being right, but also slower than simply recognizing perfect squares.
EXACTLY. It's like wtf is the point of all of that? If he gave her all of the money or if she "won" all of the money...it wouldn't stop them from pestering her for it!
Isabel Daniel No it doesn't. Because in the real world if you have a lot of money your going to get harassed for it. Doesn't matter if you got it fair and square. Your family is still going to harass you for it. And the family could prove in this case that the whole riddle was made up just for her to get it. Thus making the will void and unfair. Then comes the power of attorney and other stuff. None of this scenario at all makes any sense and honestly the poor girl would just end up getting shot or something.
Because they will see that you solved it, and didn't recieve it right away, making them feel stupid, and they can't bother you without sounding even more stupid.
Yoki Popcorn Sighs would you say that your own family would care if you solved the riddle or not? What's stopping them from constantly making phone calls etc. to ask for money? What's legally stopping them?
I love watching these because they get my mind flowing and teach me new things. I just got off school for winter break so I am rewatching these riddles to refresh my brain.
Instant replay: you step forward and tell the lawyer you know witch lockers will remain open. But How? Answer: Your uncle told you. Edit: wow. i logged on to my old account hoping to find something nice from 2 years ago and found this comment i made for fun with 460 likes. that the most ive ever gotten. WOW
I think y'all need a reminder what IQ is. The Intelligence Quotient was created as a way to determine what students needed more help in academia. It's not a measure of anything inherent - and having a low IQ certainly does not mean stupidity.
I get that it's just part of the setup for the riddle and inconsequential, but if the uncle doesn't just give you the fortune for fear of the others pestering you, wouldn't having you solve it and getting the entire inheritance still lead to the other relatives pestering you? Still a fun riddle, though!
This is a very satisfying solution if you get to it on your own! The problem-solving lesson here is that sometimes it's better to consider how a single (arbitrary) element is transformed at the *end* of a series of transformations -- and then extrapolate how different classes of elements are ultimately transformed, so as to piece together the final state case-wise -- than to chart *each* transformation in sequence. The discrete unit of the problem becomes the nth image, rather than the kth function in n compositions. This is pretty neat; a moment of insight saves you hundreds in meticulous calculation. A powerful and creative strategy to bring to any problem that involves many operators over large data sets :)
Riddle is flawed cause he said in the beginning that her uncle won't give her the assets because "he knows your relatives will pester you forever" and yet the alternative solution (being the riddle) doesn't make much of a difference because she still ends up with the assets and her relatives will still pester her forever in the end. But otherwise, good video.
The reply is late, but other commenters pointed out how, with this method, it actually seems like she "proved" to be worthy of the money via solving the riddle.
@Max1996 And you think that they will care? I am curious on why you think they will still not pester her even if she wins as people like them, dont care if you got it due to your skills, they will do everything to earn quick money, even if "accidents" has to happen.

Cool! I am glad that I was able to figure this one out! I have one minor gripe, though. The word sequence t 3:12 says "touched only twice", and in my introduction to logic course in college, they taught us that the word "only" has a very specific meaning in formal logic, distinct from how we use it in common language. Since this is a formal logic problem, I feel it bears mentioning that the first locker is, technically, touched "only" twice. "Only" does not mean that something has happened, only that it is not _exceeded._ So, to exclude the first locker, touched only once, we would want to say something like "touched twice _and only_ twice", but then that's 12 words in the clue, which means we need another 44 - 68 lockers, to change the word in locker 81 to "twice", in 100 to "and", for the word in locker 121 to read "only", and the one in the 144th locker to say "twice."
@@nathanlaird I feel like it must say something about the different _KINDS_ of intelligence that I thought that whole logical argument and missed something as simple as what you pointed out. Thanks. :)
Sorry, but this is a misunderstanding of how the operator "only" is used in logic. Only is used to describe a necessary condition for some consequent. For example, consider the phrase "Open the locker only if it has been touched twice." Logically, this is equivalent to saying "If the locker has been touched twice, then open it." Under these conditions, if the locker had been touched just one time, it would not be opened. Similarly, using "only" in the manner they did in the video means that its including solely lockers that were touched exactly two times. Consider the use of the term only in a non-numerical context. "For fuel, my car takes only gas." There's really no way to consider how that concept might be "exceeded," and you wouldn't put diesel in that car, would you?
Seafood Dog In my school it was just generic fifth grade math or "advanced" math. We used lots of the skinny paperback textbooks with only one unit in them, and I'd tell you the company if I could remember. I might have been doing 6th grade math, but I think it was some 5th some 6th.
That was confusingly worded. The way they made it sound made me think that the pattern of opening all, closing even, and reversing factors of 3 would repeat, meaning after the factor of 3 came up, all of them would open. Maybe I'm just not cut out for solving riddles...

This uncle isn't that smart. He could just give you the fortune and advise you to file 99 restraining orders.
so you wouldnt solve an easy riddle and file 99 restraining orders?
Those relatives would pester you regardless.
+Alpha Bulblax ,a bye some will hire people, to steal your ,money ,because the adjective "nasty"
actually the uncle only wanted to show off his extraordinary math skills
+SuperWaffle was this puzzle really easy to u ?
My roundabout way of doing it was trying the first ten squares for the first ten numbers, realizing the pattern was 1 was on, then two spaces, then the next one was on, then four spaces, then the next one was on (so I figured it'd be just 2 bigger each time). This ended up being right, but also slower than simply recognizing perfect squares.
This is not a riddle, it's a math problem.
thank you
You've just sloved the riddle!
Yes. Yes it is.
+Lamar Cole My thought exactly.
+Warpath 375 ha! :)
My family would still nag me even if I have solved this riddle
same
me to, they would steal allllllllllll of ir
t.
EXACTLY. It's like wtf is the point of all of that? If he gave her all of the money or if she "won" all of the money...it wouldn't stop them from pestering her for it!
+Katrina M.B But if he gave it all to her then they would Say its unfair. if she won it though, they would say that she earned it.
Katrina M.B : You guys don't seem to understand the essence of quiz, the story is not relevant only math question is.
his voice is so soothing
Step 1: Confirm you have green eyes
Step 2: Ask the 99 relatives to leave
I’m so glad I spotted the pattern. Some of these other ones are hard, though. These are so fun, I love sharing them with people.
Damn if my uncle wasn't a college dropout in his parents' apartment
💀
Why did the uncle spend his time teaching riddles
when he can just tell her the answer:)
Tochtli teach them how to fish.
Like giving money or teach a man how to make money.
@Tochtli Give him a fish breeding company's shares.
Because ted ed riddles are more unrealistic then superheroes
to prove she's worthy, i guess
at the beginning it says if the will seems biased the relatives will hurt the girl so he had to make it seem fair
Riddles like these are the rare occasions that I like math
Umm, you still got all the money so why wouldn't they still bother you?
Doesn't matter. You don't deserve all that money to yourself anyways.
Isabel Daniel
No it doesn't. Because in the real world if you have a lot of money your going to get harassed for it. Doesn't matter if you got it fair and square. Your family is still going to harass you for it.
And the family could prove in this case that the whole riddle was made up just for her to get it. Thus making the will void and unfair. Then comes the power of attorney and other stuff. None of this scenario at all makes any sense and honestly the poor girl would just end up getting shot or something.
Artaneius, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Because they will see that you solved it, and didn't recieve it right away, making them feel stupid, and they can't bother you without sounding even more stupid.
Yoki Popcorn
Sighs would you say that your own family would care if you solved the riddle or not? What's stopping them from constantly making phone calls etc. to ask for money? What's legally stopping them?
That's basically the 39 clues series but really shortened
EXACTLY!!!! Finally someone said it.
Just with more math
Exactly what I was thinking!
I came to the comments section just to see if someone else said it :P
Seemed more like “The Westing Game” to me
I love watching these because they get my mind flowing and teach me new things. I just got off school for winter break so I am rewatching these riddles to refresh my brain.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I COULD SOLVE THE RIDDLE!!! took me 12-15 minutes but the happiness after confirming the answer was immeasurable!!🥳
Instant replay: you step forward and tell the lawyer you know witch lockers will remain open. But How? Answer: Your uncle told you.

@@bhavyasharma7456 same
I didn’t need to watch this video to know how low my IQ is
@J *Now
I think y'all need a reminder what IQ is.
The Intelligence Quotient was created as a way to determine what students needed more help in academia.
It's not a measure of anything inherent - and having a low IQ certainly does not mean stupidity.
I get that it's just part of the setup for the riddle and inconsequential, but if the uncle doesn't just give you the fortune for fear of the others pestering you, wouldn't having you solve it and getting the entire inheritance still lead to the other relatives pestering you?
Still a fun riddle, though!
Exactly
Like I said on another comment, if you solved a puzzle first, everyone would've known that you got it in a fair manner and accept it.
No they wouldn't just accept it. They would still pester you and beg for money.
except if they promised dont pestered it to be the heir
@@Artaneius she could keep bodyguards or move to another place
the fact that the uncle knew none of the other 99 bozos could've done a math problem. such trust and faith

ROFL😂😂👏🏻
I love this narrator so much! His uncle voice was too good X'D
This is a very satisfying solution if you get to it on your own! The problem-solving lesson here is that sometimes it's better to consider how a single (arbitrary) element is transformed at the *end* of a series of transformations -- and then extrapolate how different classes of elements are ultimately transformed, so as to piece together the final state case-wise -- than to chart *each* transformation in sequence. The discrete unit of the problem becomes the nth image, rather than the kth function in n compositions. This is pretty neat; a moment of insight saves you hundreds in meticulous calculation. A powerful and creative strategy to bring to any problem that involves many operators over large data sets :)
This is the plot of “39 clues”😂
YES!
Yes!!
This is so like the 39 clues
Ayyyy I was looking for just this commit
Riddle is flawed cause he said in the beginning that her uncle won't give her the assets because "he knows your relatives will pester you forever" and yet the alternative solution (being the riddle) doesn't make much of a difference because she still ends up with the assets and her relatives will still pester her forever in the end. But otherwise, good video.
The reply is late, but other commenters pointed out how, with this method, it actually seems like she "proved" to be worthy of the money via solving the riddle.
Aniqa true
@Max1996
And you think that they will care? I am curious on why you think they will still not pester her even if she wins as people like them, dont care if you got it due to your skills, they will do everything to earn quick money, even if "accidents" has to happen.
@@kyleauthinus7517 i saw a comment that they have less legal ground to stand on cause everyone of them participated

I came for a riddle not advanced Calculus.
Advanced...............? hahahaha........
try basic number theory
This is like theorem 1.0 of any number theory class
If this math is advanced to you then maybe you should do the world a favor and not have children Forrest Gump. Life might be like a box of chocolates but Spartans had the right idea, kill the children with defects.
Wow dude, read that sentence again but apply it to people who think saying shit like that is acceptable. No need to be so incredibly rude.
My Mind Blown at 1:30 . RIP
Most complex riddle ever in this channel.
Philip Choo really? because I figured it out raher quickly. but number riddles like this are one of my favorite things.
Philip Choo will be remembered, welcome to the funeral of Philip Choo he died of his head exploding from a ted-ed video, and we are only joined by a stuffed unicorn, oh well * eats Philips dead body *mmmmmmm
Cool! I am glad that I was able to figure this one out! I have one minor gripe, though. The word sequence t 3:12 says "touched only twice", and in my introduction to logic course in college, they taught us that the word "only" has a very specific meaning in formal logic, distinct from how we use it in common language. Since this is a formal logic problem, I feel it bears mentioning that the first locker is, technically, touched "only" twice. "Only" does not mean that something has happened, only that it is not _exceeded._ So, to exclude the first locker, touched only once, we would want to say something like "touched twice _and only_ twice", but then that's 12 words in the clue, which means we need another 44 - 68 lockers, to change the word in locker 81 to "twice", in 100 to "and", for the word in locker 121 to read "only", and the one in the 144th locker to say "twice."
You could fix it by changing the phrase to "touched exactly twice" and sentence length would stay the same.
@@nathanlaird I feel like it must say something about the different _KINDS_ of intelligence that I thought that whole logical argument and missed something as simple as what you pointed out. Thanks. :)
Sorry, but this is a misunderstanding of how the operator "only" is used in logic. Only is used to describe a necessary condition for some consequent. For example, consider the phrase "Open the locker only if it has been touched twice." Logically, this is equivalent to saying "If the locker has been touched twice, then open it." Under these conditions, if the locker had been touched just one time, it would not be opened. Similarly, using "only" in the manner they did in the video means that its including solely lockers that were touched exactly two times. Consider the use of the term only in a non-numerical context. "For fuel, my car takes only gas." There's really no way to consider how that concept might be "exceeded," and you wouldn't put diesel in that car, would you?
Hope everyone is doing good
This is how I'm going to give my life savings away when I die. All $1 of it.
And then you get shanked in the parking lot.
I never feel dumb ever more than the moment when the video says to pause the video to figure out the puzzle and I slyly ignore it XD
+thedaydreamer18 this speaks to me in a spiritual level
Had a very similar problem on a math test (olympic test) recently, it gave me a huge smile hearing about the perfect squares thing
This is the first riddle that I didn't understand anything.
This is hella hard. This is more like a math riddle. Not just a plain riddle.
They made me do this in fifth grade advanced math. So if you think it's hard, tell that to a poor fifth grader
I did it in the first quarter this year. (I'm in the 6th grade.)
+Margaret Madole what math were u in?
Seafood Dog In my school it was just generic fifth grade math or "advanced" math. We used lots of the skinny paperback textbooks with only one unit in them, and I'd tell you the company if I could remember. I might have been doing 6th grade math, but I think it was some 5th some 6th.
Ted Ed, please make more of these! I love these so much!
The real riddle is how are 99 of your relatives still alive
That was confusingly worded. The way they made it sound made me think that the pattern of opening all, closing even, and reversing factors of 3 would repeat, meaning after the factor of 3 came up, all of them would open. Maybe I'm just not cut out for solving riddles...
