    • @SeanPat1001
      @SeanPat1001 2 года назад +2

      I would wait 3.5 hours. Saying that the poison would take affect in 10 hours is probably an average with some variation. Using an interval of 3.5 hours would reduce the risk due to the variation in the time until the poison takes effect. The third bottle would be administered at 10.5 hours, giving me a safety margin of 3.5 hours until 24 hours for the third bottle.

    • @GokulRG

      Lol. you're just being asked to think logically here... No poison in the world is like an ON-OFF switch that'll exactly kill you in 10 hours while remaining without any symptoms till 9 hr 59 min. You can also simply say I'll just feed a sample and look at symptoms after a few hours.. But this is not the real world, what's being tested is your logical thinking. 1 hr isn't arbitrary, that's the smallest unit of time here that can be measured.

      The question is sculpted to create comfortable imagery in what is the wrong direction (milk, rat). These are distractions in the question meant to allure you away from logic. It's a nice question but it's presented in an overly pacified manner for me. The answer is too obvious because of the lack of constants. There is only one constant, the amount of time it takes for the poison to take effect. Then one control, the amount of time you have to hypothetically use these resources to solve the problem. What is the most efficient way to recognize this, statement. This is the underlying purpose of logical deduction in complex ways but only two ways. This question is structured in an abductive nature but asks the reader to solve it using any logic they wish. All in all, its a nice entry level critical thinking problem.

    I did the same solution, except with a bit more spacing (0, 5, and 10 hrs for feeding the first 3 samples). I know the problem says EXACTLY 10 hours but I'm a biochemist... and no poison is THAT exact. Spacing the samples out allows for more variability in the actual duration between dosing and death, and still gives plenty of time to identify the poisoned bottle.

    You will have the answer when you time 10 hours after each feeding which will tell you the poisonous bottle. Mathematically you should have an answer in 13 hours.

      Logically there’s no need for a safety buffer if the riddle tells you exactly 10 hours. And if you’re suppose to figure in a buffer, just test a bottle at the start (0 hr), 6.25 hr mark, and 13.5 hr mark. The 4th bottle doesn’t need to be tested because if the rat is alive after 23.5 hours, you know it’s the poisonous one. And you’ll have 30 minute buffer for the 3rd bottle and time to drink.

      And with riddles, there is often a play on words or grammar. It would be perfectly acceptable to count "bottle one, bottle, two, bottle three, bottle four" or "one bottle, two bottle, three bottle, four bottle". Thus making "one bottle" equivalent to "bottle one". So when it is revealed that one is poisonous at the end, we already know that because the answer is in the question.

    Feed the rat from 2 bottles to start--one feeding an hour earlier than the other. If nothing happens after 11hrs, then one of the two remaining bottles is poisoned. If the rat dies within 11hrs, one of the 1st two bottles is poisoned (and you can drink the other 2).
    Nothing happens: Feed the rat from 1 of the last 2 bottles. If it lives, the last remaining bottle is poisoned. If it dies, the bottle you just fed it from is poisoned. You now know which three are good to drink.
    The rat dies in the first try: You drink the other 2 bottles that haven't been tested, and--based on whether the rat dies at the 10hr or 11hr mark, you drink the opposite bottle from what killed the rat exactly 10hrs after it drank from it.

      I think you are confusing logic with accuracy to the physical world. Two very different things. Something can be logical relative to certain definitions or axioms or assumptions which may or may not be true. That's why logicians talk about possible worlds so much. Take this for an example.
      Suppose Berlin is in Australia and Australia is in the US. It logically follows that Berlin is in the US. This is a valid conclusion despite all statements being wrong. It is perfectly logical but total BS at the same time ;-)

  • @sigmundjester
    @sigmundjester 3 года назад +3

    The problem is flawed, because it says you have to drink 3 bottles within 24 hours. Basically meaning that unless you consume a certain amount of milk in 24 hours then you will die. There is no fluid measurement specified other than the measure of “bottle”. For example if a bottle contains 500ml, then that means you have to consume 1500ml, not 1499ml. Similarly it means 3 bottles, not 2.99999 bottles. Since one of the bottles is poisoned and you can’t consume any of that, to fulfill the ‘rules’ of the problem you’d have to consume ALL the other bottles, but if you need to remove some for sampling then you are unable to consume 3 full bottles yourself.
    If this ‘rule’ can be broken, then you can simply let the rat try one bottle, and if it doesn’t die after 10 hours then you know that is fine, so pour two of the unopened bottles down the drain and divide the good milk into the 3 bottles and then drink it (what?! - it doesn’t specify FULL bottles)

    Give the rat a combo of 1&2. If it lives after 10 hrs you know both are good. Then give it bottle 3. If it dies then 3 is poison if it lives 4 is poison.
    If it dies after 1&2 you know one of them is poisonous. Feed it just 1. If it dies 1 is poison if it lives 2 is poison.

    Just based on the puzzle as stated in the thumbnail, the solution seems pretty simple... assuming you you get a replacement rat if it dies from the poison. Start by feeding the rat samples of milk from two of the bottles. Ten hours later, if it shows signs of poisoning, you know it’s one of those two; otherwise, you know it’s one of the other two. You’re free to start drinking the two clean bottles, and can then feed the rat a sample from one of the remaining bottles. Whether it gets poisoned will tell you which bottle is the poison, and you have four hours to drink the other.
    If the poison does kill the rat, and you don’t get a replacement... well, that’s a different story. Guess I’ll actually watch the video now for the full conditions.

  • @grahck4391
    @grahck4391 3 года назад +2

    One addendum I would make to the solution. If rat is alive after hour 10, begin drinking the first bottle then. Then repeat at the other hour intervals, provided the rat survives. If he dies, just skip that bottle and drink the others. This further optimizes the solution because the last part of the riddle is to drink three bottles of milk. Also, if someone is hungry, there's no way anyone would simply let a perfectly fine bottle of milk just sit there, especially if he knows it's safe after having tested it.

    Easy-Peasy I solved it!!!
    I've got an idea give 1 sample to the rat if the rat did not die after 10 hours that bottle is safe, give two samples having a gap of hour to the rat if he doesn't die then consume these two milk bottle and if he dies then if the rat dies at the 20th hour don't drink the bottle given first and if he dies at 21th hour just drink the earlier given bottle at last drink the last bottle
    Hence the three bottles will be consumed 3 hours before the deadline.

  • @marvinkitfox3386

    You must consume 3 bottles of milk, and one is poisoned?
    The ONLY way to do this is to guess randomly.
    Because as soon as you extract a sample from any bottle, it it no longer a full bottle and would contribute less than 1 to the needed 3.

    Ok before resuming the vid, I will assume the rat wouldn’t die from the poison. Gonna do 2 bottles first then try one last.
    *Edit*: ok so I was hoping since it wasn’t said in the first place but the rat actually dies.
    I came up with this before I got the chance to think about doing tests per hour. (Again, I assumed the rat only shows weakness)
    First, I will test bottles one and two together. If said rat gets sick, then i would test bottle one. If it gets sick again, avoid said bottle. If the rat ‘survives’, avoid the untested bottle.
    If the rat doesn’t get sick after testing both bottles, test bottle 3. If the rat gets sick, avoid said bottle. If not, avoid the untested one.
    If each test was done for 10 hours each, I will still have 4 hours left to spare worst case scenario.

    Combinations do work though. Say you have bottle 1, 2, 3 and 4.
    First you give the rat a sample of 1 and 2. If the rat dies after 10hrs, either 1 or 2 is poisonous. If not, either 3 or 4 is poisonous.
    Say it dies: 1 or 2 is poisonous.
    Give the rat a sample from bottle 1. If it dies after 10hrs (in total 20), 1 is poisonous, if not, then 2 is.
    If the rat didn't die after the first 10hrs, you give it sample 3. If it dies, 3 is poisonous, if not, it's 4.
