--
They call you the human cannonball. Your act involves flying through rings of fire, bouncing through a trampoline course, and catching the trapezist in the grand finale. Today’s pre-flight test fails dramatically, and upon inspection, your cannon has clearly been sabotaged. Unfortunately, it’s too late to abort the launch. Can you fix it in time to catch the trapezist? Alex Rosenthal shows how.

@@DeafieTechie Hey there! We are working on fixing this issue and they should be up soon! Thanks for letting us know.
Awesome riddle, as always, thanks, Ted-Ed!
Uhm, thx for riddle dude
The ringmaster have an invoice in the pocket with the name of the company that brought the energy cells, therefore he KNEW how many cells were supposed to be brought and how the builder did for the cannon to work, so for him it was easy to sabotage it.
But it was indeed the Tamer that did the act, as in 0:43 is possible to see one of his missing shoulder things in the machine.
Also, the Clown knew about it but tried to stop the Tamer; his flower release a yellow liquid and there's a small puddle to yellow liquid close to the Tamer's feet at 4:47.
This is downright an Ace Attorney case lol
I just saw the supercell pamphlet in the ringmaster’s pocket thought it was him, good eye
Hey waw!!! Like you're amazing
WOW are you a detective ?
Nice. How do you reach the Clown tried to stop the Tamer? Is it because the Tamer's missing epaulette in the cannon is a result of the struggle with the Clown?
*Thuderous Applause*
This canonball person is way too smart to work in the circus. he thought of all this stuff in minutes, he might want to change job.
Maybe he just loves the circus? Follow your heart!
@@firstname405 yeah you right

Also it seemed like he had a thing going on with the trapeze artist so maybe he didn’t want to leave him there alone with a saboteur/murderer on the loose
@TeoGPanda ooohh true! Smart, follows his heart, AND a hero!
Yeah!!!! That's what I thought
Thanks ted ed! Now I'll definitely know what to do if someone sabotages my cannon before a circus show!
Lol
Just tell everyone the cannon is not working

There's always someone for every ted-ed riddle video that makes some comment as if the riddle was a serious situation that they've now been taught the solution to
Thank you for doing your part of this important part of every Ted-Ed riddle!
I generally can't solve these riddles but it's fun watching them anyways.
Edit: I never imagined so many people would resonate with this.
same honestly
Most of us man , people are just ashamed to say it.
I know right

You can also use normal logic to solve the "Who Sabotaged You?" Question:
- The Clown is in love with the trapezist and was waiting for her with gifts after we solved the riddle, its pretty unlikely he would try to cause her death by tampering with a clearly dangerous act unless he was heartbroken, but he waiting for her with gifts shows us that clearly that wasnt the case.
- The Ringleader while having a problematic opinion about the press and being show as greedy doesnt have a good motive to sabotage you because by doing so he would cause himself a lot of problems and ultimately lose a lot more of money than the press would give him (Causing the deaths of two of his actors would require him to find new actors to replace them, also while the police investigate the incident he will be forced to shut down the circus until they are done, and we arent even talking about the risks of being caught or even be placed as a suspect because being framed as a corrupt Ringleader who caused the deaths of two of his actors for money will make him go out of business pretty quickly).
- Finally The Lion Tamer has a pretty solid motive: Wanting you out of the picture so he can be the main act, also by looking at the clues given in the video (specially the last part where he looks distressed at your survival) you can pretty much deduce he is the culprit, and he fears that you now are coming after him.
Also if you look closely, one of the tamer’s shoulder tassels is stuck in the battery cell thing under the cannon
And you can also see the same liquid that is leaking from the Clown's prank flower on the ground next to the Lion-Tamer.
Just a note, the trapezist is a guy lol
The trapeze artist is a guy not a girl

The Saboteur is not the Ringmaster because he already has sold enough tickets and is Practically Rich with that Box he is Holding

That just leaves the Tamer and we can see him visibly frustrated at our success, both as the first act and for solving his Sabotage

how is that related to this current puzzle
The Lion Tamer sabotaged the cannon.
Motive: Eliminating two other acts so he becomes the main attraction.
Evidence: The Lion Tamer's outfit in both shots only shows a single tassel on his shoulders. At 1:43, a matching tassel to the one he's likely missing can be seen stuck between two of the energy cells. He's also the only one of the three whose demeanor and expression change after successfully thwarting the sabotage.
The Clown has no motive to sabotage, as doing so would also hurt the trapezist he loves.
The Ring Leader has no evidence. The invoice to the energy cell company is only circumstantial, not direct proof. As depicted, he appears in charge of the circus's money, which having the invoice only indicates that he likely had simply paid for the cells (as well at other equipment at the circus).
Correct; the Ringleader is guilty of sabotage, but only that he shortchanged the power cell supplier, which shouldve resulted in *too little* power to the cannon. But the pre-show test showed the power was too *HIGH*.
No.
The invoice is still not actually definitive proof the Ring Leader is guilty/involved in the sabotage.
There are dozens of non-nefarious reasons he could have that invoice.
Maybe he ordered 30, but only 27 were delivered on time?
Maybe he's also a math genius and knew 27 was enough, so he bought fewer to save money?
Maybe he had no involvement at all in the order beyond paying the bill?
Maybe its a months-old invoice that has nothing to do with these particular cells at all?
The Ring Leader having the invoice is only proof of exactly one thing:
"The Ring Leader has the invoice."
@@Nazuiko yeah but remember that he didn’t really sabotage it because if the lion tamer left it alone it would never have this problem.
Good to see Kanoli is still inventing after his racing mishap. Good for him.
Wait A minute! 1:00 that's the uncle from the death race riddle!!!
When the "bios" showed up I thought, "this is going to be a whodunnit mystery"
Then I saw the maths. Oh no. Another situation where I'd be screwed if it were me. (Although I do like how that was solveable as well!)
it's the tamer. the clown has an alibi of not wanting to hurt his love. the ringleader wouldn't just kill off his main act for a slight boost in money. he would be drowned in legal debt as well. someone else pointed out that a part of the tamer's uniform was in the machine. but if you look closely, there is also some yellow liquid in a puddle by the tamer. which is the very same as the liquid in the clown's flower sprayer. I think that it went down as such: the tamer wanted you dead. so he went over ad sabotaged the machine. the clown happened upon him sabotaging the cannon and fended him away. there are signs of a struggle between the two from the clown's liquid on the tamer, and a piece of the tamer's outfit inside the machine. (presumably knocked off during the fight). also earlier in the video it said that the inventor had too few power cells. this is why the ringleader had a receipt. so that they could put all the cells in later.
Honestly, i love this channel. I oddly enjoy learning about random things, love you Ted Ed ♥️
Based on 0:40 and the rest of the video, the Lion Tamer probably did it. As said in the video, you and the trapezist would both die if the cannon still fired, and the clown wouldn’t want the Trapezist to die since he’s in love, so unlikely. Ringleader wants to sell more tickets (more profit) and thus wouldn’t want such a big accident to happen, since that’ll mean people running away and likely not buying his tickets anymore. Just by the process of elimination, the lion tamer did it. Plus he wants to be the main act, so maybe he’ll sabotage the main character to eliminate competition?
if the accident happens and the circus shutsdown, both the ringleader and the tamer would be affected. Just as how the ringleader would lose profit the tamer would lose his job if the circus shutsdown due to the deaths. If there is no act he couldn't be the main act. So the tamer has just as much of a reason to not kill us as the ringmaster. However the ringmaster insists that all press is good press so he is the only one with the mindset where causing this accident could lead to benefits.
@@hongbbl but you can see the lion tamers tassel in the canon AND he has a puddle next to him, maybe the clown sprayed him in an attempt to stop him from sabotaging the canon?
This the most CANON riddle you’ve made so far 😂
This channel is very interesting. There are brain-challenging problems with everything on this channel. Actually, I wonder how you find these questions. Because it's hard.
i swear i dont even try to solve them they are just so fun to watch
Me at the start: huh, this art style is familiar.
Me when 0:54 comes: OH MY GOD- ITS H I M
Ted ed characters got lore
One of the first riddles I managed to solve on my own. I'm proud 😀
We haven’t had a new riddle for too long. Please post one. Eagerly waiting. 😀
Absolutely love this series!!
Yes! Love when you post riddles
i love how much detailed lore was made for exposition only for none of it to matter even a little bit in the puzzle
It took me 30 minutes to solve this riddle. That trapeze artist died 25 minutes ago.
Who's here after knowing that you can't solve any riddle 🥲
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😔👍👍
I think it's the tamer
Note from 0:39
The clown is in love with the trapezist so he would be not kill someone who supposed to save the trapezist during the act
The ringleader is not likely to kill his main actor
Meanwhile the tamer, he wants to be the main actor so he got jealous and in most likely scenario the ringleader would make him replace the main attraction to save money
And the ringleader isn't the type of businessman to dispose of people since to him, "All press is good press."
Good to see uncle Slate from the death race riddle keeping those inventions coming!
I think I've ever only solved one of these puzzles but I still watch them for the plot
Pretty confident I got this one right. 👍
Edit: nice, probably one of the easier ones once you understand what it is asking for since you can basically brute force it with trial and error.
Brute force, best force ;)
I managed to solve this without working out basically any of the clues. I just made a spreadsheet with 16 cells for the boxes and set it up to calculate the totals for left, right, top, bottom, upper, lower, and overall, then entered numbers between 1 and 3 and moved them around until I got a solution (the 30-battery solution). Then I knew the other solution had to be either 27 or 33, so I moved the numbers some more until i found it.
While the solution is obviously true, imo it was explained at bit more confusingly that it could have been. A single observation can drastically reduce the number from the getgo:
11 per side, so 2 opposite sides have together 22 exactly, since they don't overlap. The remaining 4 chambers can now have between 1x4=4 and 3x4=12 in total, so the number is between 22+4=26 and 22+12=34.
The number has to be divisible by 3, since the upper level has twice as many cells as the lower, so only 27, 30 and 33 remain.
33 can be excluded the way that was explained in the video:
33 means 22 in the upper level, 11 in the lower level.
If a side had only 3s in the upper level, because any chamber has at least 1 cell and therefore the lower level contributes at least 3 cells to a side, we'd have 12 cells in a side. This means a side can't have all 3s in the upper level.
But 22 allows only 2 chambers to only have 3 cells, so those 2s have to be at opposite corners in the upper level, because else there would be a side with three 3s. Now if all sides in the upper already had 3+3+2 cells, the lower can only have 1 cell per chamber, 8 in total, contradicting the first statement and making 33 impossible.
We can check that 27 works (don't assume the problem has to work out, always check your reasoning, the instructions might have been faulty):
3 2 3
2 1
3 1 3
1 1 1
1 1
1 1 2
Had same thought 📈
Great reasoning and more thorough!
You didn't mention/show that there is also a solution using 30 energy cells, I guess that was the designer's original configuration.
332
2 2 total of 20
233
and
111
2 2 total of 10
111
You are right. By process of elimination and assuming the question was correct in the first place, it was concluded that 30-cell solution exists but a solution wasn't shown.
Yeah, apparently there was originally supposed to be 30, but then when there was 3 less it worked perfectly
I found another way to fill 30 cells:
232
3 3
232
112
1 1
211
I wonder if there's any more, though they'd have to have the 2s in the lower level either sharing an edge or being a knight's move apart, which would be a little weird to work out.
There is a lot of solutions left out, even ones he said couldn't be done. I found one with 24:
Top: 3 1 3 Bottom: 2 0 2
1 1 0 0
3 1 3 2 0 2
@@apreson6590 That doesn't work, one of the rules was that each chamber needs at least 1 energy cell, and the bottom layer violates that rule.
I worked out straight away that it had to be a multiple of 3 from 24 to 36 inclusive. I also managed to work out a way of arranging 30 cells that would work, but I couldn't figure out arrangements for 27 OR 33, so I wasn't sure which was correct
Yay, I got this one! Although I figured it out from drawing out the numbers rather than the process of elimination described here.
I like how all the riddles are connected.
waiting for the day that i figure out one of these
There is a much simpler solution: the whole system can be partitioned in 2 sides plus 4 middle chambers. Each side has 11 cells and each chamber between 1 and 3 so the total is between 26 and 34, so 27, 30 or 33 since it has to be a multiple of 3. Then one only has to eliminate 33.
I’ve been waiting for another riddle to come out, even though I know I can’t solve it😅

And you are free to leave
EYES AS GREEN AS A FRESHLY PICKLED TOAD
I got what n-3 was, but I couldn't figure out what the combination was. This is the closest I ever was to solving a Ted-Ed riddle
i like how they figured out that the cannon was broken down, but instead of cancelling/rescheduling of the show, they just kept solving for the cannon that shoots a person into a literal fire
This is the first riddle I’ve actually solved on my own, it did take me like half an hour but I’ll take it
I don't have the slightest idea how did I end up watching this BUT *IT IS AMAZING* !!!!!!
I like how there's a bit of continuity, the inventor of the canon is also the inventor of the fast car
Wasn't it the ring master??....having invoice of super cells in his pocket
Think you're correct
I don't think so the super cell invoice could be from a delivery he signed off on.
@@philosophicalpatriot1883 true that.....but wasn't the delivery made to professor and he would have checked and if the delivery was made to him.....he intentionally gave professor 3 less battery cells
I don't think it was that, the cannon was made before all of this and was working just fine.
It's the tamer. When it shows you looking at the Cannon, you can see a tassel on the cells. On the outfits, only the tamer has tassels, and one is missing from his right shoulder, indicating him as the culprit.
Ted ed make MORE riddles please there fun to solve
this is literally the only TedEd riddle I've actually solved I'm so happy rn 😭

I love how the clown is just sad waiting for the demise of the person he is in love with
the clown is gae?
I think the fact that the clown loves the trapeze artist is proof the clown is innocent. As much as he wants you out of the way, he probably still values the life of the trapeze artist too much to risk his life. The ringmaster would ultimately lose out on trying to use your death to promote the circus as he’d need to find a new headline act and/or replace two performers, and likely deal with a police investigation. The Lion Tamer is the only one who looks genuinely frustrated and would stand only to gain if he wasn’t caught. Plus one of his epaulettes is caught in the cannon.
@@yinghungman4471
Yeah, the canon guy and trapeze artist (probably) are too considering they had a heart behind them when canon dude caught him. I don’t think the clown has a chance tbh but who knows, I’m probably looking too far into the story of a math riddle lol

@@red_roy it's a previous Ted edpuzzle prisoners can leave if they have green eyes but the person who been there since birth don't know if they have green eyes
Pretty fun puzzle. I first narrow it down to n=24, 27, 30, 33, 36. With some trials and errors, I was a able to figure out the answer.
I mean, I don’t necessarily agree with the initial upper/lower bounds - if we imagine the lower level has 1 in each then we can get a minimum of 24. But if we imagine the upper level has 3 we can also get a maximum of 36.
From there we have fewer values to brute force.
This is so relatable this stuff happens to me all the time
Someone amped the power up to the max. That part always gets me!
Who is the guy who narrates these riddles? I've grown really attached to his voice, even if it only brings me frustrations.
“It was me, TED-Ed! I sabotaged the cannon in order to kill the trapezist, who had given a witness testimony to the DL-6 incident!”
Von Karma, no!
An interesting riddle - although I missed the rule that you couldn't have zero energy cells in a square so got 24 and 27 as my solution. (24 works by having 3 on each corner and 1 in each centre in the upper level and 2 on each corner in the lower level - but this leaves the lower centres blank)
What a world to live in, where ever person is an expert logician.
Solved it, but I didn't do the profound mathematical deductive reasoning, I was just trying stuff until I figured out the combination that worked (30), got 27 and then I used some math and drawing to figure out how to arrange them with three missing. Not the fastest way by any means, but I managed to get the job right.
I love the Ted Ed Riddle Cinematic Universe
Ngl I think the clown is the one who messed up the cannon.
The ringleader wants to sell more tickets, and a cannon mess up wouldn't be well for the circus.
The lion tamer wants to be the main act, but if they were the one making the cannon mess up, them the audience would probably put their eyes on the mess up, not the lion tamer. The clown is the one we have left. And it actually makes sense. The clown would sabotage the cannon, maybe even trying to kill the person being shot out the cannon, and that would help the clown get closer to the trapezist since in the video, its shown that the person being shot out of the cannon and the trapezist might love each other.
Edit: i have no idea now
IM FINALLY EARLY FOR A RIDDLE
Nice video 👌
I actually soled this one which is amazing and satisfying
I’m confuzzled by this riddle. Solving who sabotaged is easier
I got for the bottom:
211,
11,
112
And for the top:
232,
33,
232
Total of 10 for the top & 20 for the bottom before adding the missing 3.
I spent ages on this & need some validation!
Dawn, that trapeze person’s act was pretty long considered we had all of that time to figure it out
I thought I had this one, but I messed up on one step: I assumed that since 24 was the max that could fit in one, and the upper level had twice as many cells as the lower level, the max he could have ordered to start with was 36--24 for the top, 12 for the bottom. Subtract three and round down since you can't have half a cell, and I got 20 for the top level and 10 for the lower level, 30 total. From there I arranged them (clockwise from upper left) 3-2-2-2-3-2-2-2 and 1-1-2-1-1-1-2-1, which was perfect for the "each side adds up to 11" rule.
I didn't consider that he didn't order the absolute max he could fit to start with.
Not really encouraging since this is the first riddle in recent memory I actually tried :')
Solving it just by trying to put the cells into the grid worked surprisingly well.
It kind of seems like the last bit of given information (designed to work with n, must be made to work with n-3) is almost unnecessary as a result, except to disambiguate between what would otherwise be two valid solutions to the problem.
My path to the solution was:
1) can I get 11 on each side with 8 in the lower level and 16 in the upper? With at least one cell in every chamber, no, that gets me at most 10 on a side, not 11.
2) How about 9 and 18? Oh I *can* place three cells to add one to each side (one in a corner along the lower level to add to two different sides, then the two edges along the top that don't share a side with that corner) and that's the lowest possible number, we're done here.
I think there's even more than one way to achieve 30 cells solutions, so it's more than two valid solutions that need to be disambiguated.
THE TRAPPEEZEE GIRL AND CANNONBALL GUY ARE DOOMED, immediately pulls out huge board and pencil to do math
I think it might be the clown. Part of the lion tamer’s uniform is on the cells but you can see liquid from the clowns flower next to the tamer where the piece is missing. I think the clown did it and framed the lion tamer.
Why would he risk his love's life?

I can say that the lion tamer is the sabatouer because in 0:39 that the description says that he “wants to be the main act” which immediately know that he’s the one who sabotage the cannon
Did TED-Ed just make a whole inter-connected universe just like marvel and dc. Nice lol
Oh hey! "Eccentric inventor" makes a return!
It's the Lion Tamer- his frustrated and scared scowl is unnoticeable - plus his shoulder golden hanging thing is in the machine ...
The total number of cells must be at most #sides x 11 - #corner chambers x 1 = 4 x 11 - 8 x 1 = 36.
The total number of cells must be at least #non overlapping sides x 11 + #non overlapping edge chambers x 1 = 2 x 11 + 4 x 1 = 26.
The total number of cells must be a multiple of 3 because of rule 1, so we are left with these possibilities:
27, 30, 33, 36
If you try 36, then the upper level must get 24 cells and the lower level 12. To get 24 cells in the upper level, all chambers must be filled with 3 cells. This means that the upper sides all have 9 cells. Each chamber in the lower level must get at least 1 cell, so each lower side will have at least 3 cells. So all sides will be at least 12 cells, which contradicts rule 3.
If you try 33, then you can remove two cells from the upper level. To prevent the issue we had with 36 cells, we have to make sure that all upper sides have 8 cells instead of 9 cells. This can only be done by removing the two cells from opposite corners, one cell from each corner. To not break rule 3, we have to fill all chambers in the lower level with a single cell, but then we break rule 1, because the lower level would only have 8 cells, while the upper level has 22 cells.
So 27 and 30 are left, which means n = 30 and n - 3 = 27.
n - 3 = 27 solution is:

Wait I just noticed something, the mentor is the eccentric uncle form the car riddle!
Ah, the continuation of your eccentric uncle's inventions! I like it!
1. Because each square has 1~3 energy cells and the bottom layer has half the cells in the top layer, start by: all squares in top layer with 2 cells each, all squares in bottom layer with 1 cell each
2. This gives 9 cells per side, so we need at most 8 more energy cells (2 per side). Because the total number of cells should be 3n (2*bottom layer=top layer), we can try 3 and 6, and the answer to the riddle would have 3 additional cells.
3. Rearrange cells so it fits the each side=11 cells rule.

Usually I can't solve the riddles but I'm proud to say that this time I couldn't even understand the riddle

Could anyone please tell me the music used during the “solving for the answer” stage, aka the strings instrument?
It’s the Lion tamer, his shoulder pad thing was in the machine 0:43 and I think t
