Two doors: Ask person guarding Hell, "If I asked the other guard what's behind their door, what would they say?" -> Person guarding hell tells lie and says Hell (because the other person is guarding heaven, and would tell the truth) -> This is what's behind their door Ask person guarding Heaven, "If I asked the other guard what's behind their door, what would they say?" -> Person guarding heaven tells the truth and says Heaven (because the other person is guarding Hell and would lie) -> This is what's behind their door The part that might have thrown you off during the episode about this was that immediately after Rick explained this all as "what would the OTHER person say", Karl instead just asked "what is behind your door?" and so then both answers were wrong, and there was no further reclarification of the logic. Happy to see more Karl on the channel! Hope things are going well now
@@JohnnyJohnny-f5o It would all depend on how the clone was created. If you were knocked out to make the clone and you both woke up at the same time, then you wouldn't know for sure. But if they just took a blood sample and made the clone while you watched, then you would know that you weren't the clone while the clone wouldn't be sure if he was or not.
Not being able to tell if you're a clone or the original is one of the main concepts of the movie Infinity Pool. After the cloning operation, you wake up feeling exhausted and confused and they simply tell you that you're the original, but there's no proof and no guarantee. The original doesn't "just know" because the clone is 100% identical and they also "just know". That's kinda the point of a perfect clone, they have exactly the same memory of turning up at the location and agreeing to be cloned as you do.
I think it’s because he phrased it as “how do I know I’m me,” and Steve and Ricky clung to the formal absurdity of that statement instead of listening from his explanation that the “me” refers to “the real Karl that I think I am.”
@@balder9033 That's because he wasn't told that he would lose consciousness at any stage, that was never said, just that a clone shows up. The fact that he has experience and no loss of consciousness means he should be in no doubt he is the original, if he starts doubting that he is an idiot.
The real answer to the door question would be "do I want to go to heaven?" The liar will say no because he knows you'll want to go to heaven but he has to lie, but the truthful one will say yes because they know you will want to go to heaven
35:30 I'm curious where you think the pee from the bathroom goes after you flush. Surely you realize the ocean is full of liquids much fouler than urine.
@@MandyCaneLane just watched one of your time lapse art videos, you definitely need to start drawing again, you have great talent and you should keep it going!
The problem with these animated versions is they cut a lot of stuff out. Ricky’s explanation of the “two doors” scenario was almost completely removed from this version.
@@MandyCaneLane Unfortunately I've been around enough to consider dentists the preferable alternative to toothache. These days I'd love to be able to just walk into a dentist and get my teeth fixed, but the local dentists aren't taking on new patients >_
Couldn’t tell if it was the real Mandy or a doppelgänger for a while. But then she started talking about Paul Rudd, Netflix, the island, with obi wan from Star Trek. And I was like ahhhh there she is!!
I think it helps being stupider to get the door conundrum. Like, I'd just ask "did the other guard just piss his pants?" Ta-da, I walk through the correct door.
Hey Mandy, a good suggestion from moi, is Johnny Depp in Lifes Too Short - Depp plays himself, but is fascinated with Warwick davies, and tries to get back at Ricky, for the golden globes comments. obviously acting, as Depp and Ricky are good mates, but sooo funny!!
I used to be confused about it as well and Karl’s understanding of things doesn’t help but Steve says how Karl’s fascinated by the concept of doppelgängers but the email just asks Karl what he’d do with an exact replica or clone of himself
The thing with the doors is that by asking what the other person would say you guarantee that the answer is always a lie. Because the person who always tells the truth will answer (truthfully) with the lie that the other person would have given; the one who always lies would answer (falsely) with the opposite of what the truthful person would say, i.e. a lie. So whichever one you ask, they will answer with a lie about what the other door is, effectively giving you the truth about their own door. So if they answer “Heaven”, go through their door, if they answer “Hell”, go through the other door.
@@MandyCaneLane he was trying to explain a more roundabout question. That also works but it's way more complicated than it needs to be. This riddle is also in the movie Labyrinth by the way.
Hi…have drawn a nice shot of Karl and Suzanne hugging by the Eiffel Tower in the artwork. Will send you when I’m finished…lots of respect, watching before I go to sleep
I think what Karl means by "How do I know which one is me" is that in this scenario the clone has all your memories and stuff as well. A true 100% copy in every way. You both remember doing and experiencing the same things from the day you were born until you meet. The clone *is* you physically and mentally. How would you know which one is actually you and which is the clone? You'll both be utterly convinced you're the "original". You say the real one always knows, but the clone knows exactly the same things you do and feels the same way.
I was going to say the same thing. Very often, they seem to try very hard to not get what Karl is saying so they can ridicule him. Plus I don’t think either of them are as smart and knowledgeable as they think they are.
But they never said it had all your memories, plus the original and the clone would have different experiences after the clone is made. The original not remembering being made as a clone, because he wasn't made as a clone
@@cohenparsons947 You're applying a lot of logic to Karls train of thought here. I'm not sure that's the way forward! 😂 I'm with you, but I don't think that's how Karl heard it. They concurred when he asked if his doppelganger would be exactly the same. To me that sounds like they'll be the same mentally and physically. EXACTLY the same. Even the clone would just wake up at the hospital with your memories up until the point where you went to hospital and got your DNA extracted for this experiment. It'd be as if you both lived the same life up until the point where there was suddenly two of you. It's not where my mind would've gone if I was posed the same question as Karl, but that's why I love Karl. He has a way of seeing things from a different angle.
@@cohenparsons947 What's there to be convinced by? The phenomenon "doppelganger" isn't real in the first place and even if someone cloned you that clone wouldn't necessarily even look like you (Though you'd probably look related). The clone would just share your DNA. Not your looks and certainly not your thoughts and experiences. On a scientific level we were on thin ice as soon as the question was asked. There is nothing to convince anyone of here. Just the amusing musings of Karl.
A better example of Karl’s point of not knowing which one he was is the Arnie film 6th day. In that there are clones and they aren’t aware they are the clone. And there is a cool little way to identify them as a clone.
To explain the conundrum, the question is “if I were to ask the other person what door they are guarding, what would they say? “ and whatever they answer, is the door that THEY are guarding. Because it catches the bad one lying about the other. But there are many loopholes to this one. 😂

16:55 I think you need to start a conversation with these twins and other people you haven’t met from your theatre, or general life, and if there’s anything weird or creepy about them report back to us immediately 😂 You can call it ‘Mandy’s Diary’ I’m sure it’ll be a success 👍🏽
@@MandyCaneLane Not here in the US, maybe some upper class beaches have them, but so many places to swim here its mainly just swim at your own risk. Otherwise it would have to be ban most beaches to be able to supply enough of them to watch over people and I don't know who would pay them.
I agree with you about the art world. It's why I gave up doing my degree. I couldn't take the stress anymore and the tutors who I was working with seemed very pretentious and condescending that it made my blood boil. I eventually got so mad when I failed my second year because I had a feeling that the board of examiners were playing "favouritism" that I ended up falling out with my classmates and it drove me into terrible depression. It was exhausting so I left the damn place.
The two doors/paths riddle (I'm so bad at explaining this so apologies if I mess up): You can ask one of them, "Which path would the other guard say is the path to heaven?" It doesn't matter which guard you ask because they'll both give the same response. The best way I can explain why is through voicing out their thoughts. GUARD 1: "I must answer this question truthfully. I am guarding Hell. If this traveller asked the other guard where the path to Heaven was, he would point to my path instead of his - because he is a liar." *Guard 1 points to Guard 1's path* GUARD 2: "I must answer this question with a lie. I am guarding Heaven. If this traveller asked the other guard where the path to Heaven was, he would point to my path because he is telling the truth: I am guarding Heaven. However, I cannot tell the traveller this as I must answer their question with a lie. Therefore, I must direct them to the path to Hell." *Guard 2 points to Guard 1's path* Notice how they both point to the same path. This is the path you AVOID. Whichever path they respond with, go down the OTHER way and you'll make it to Heaven.
11:01... Just ask a basic ("What's 2 +2" or "Does 2 + 2 equal 4") math question. If the guard gets the answer right, he's guarding the 'heaven/truth' door... If he gets it wrong he's guarding the 'hell/lie' door.
Funny enough about the beginning of this video is that years after this (2018) Karl had his own TV series called Sick of It with a very similar premise. I remember that Paul Rudd show, it was really good.
Morning Mandy! Glad to see more ricky gervais shows. And yes the lighting is great for you, makes your face look a lot more colourful 😊 Ps: I noticed the other day how you seem to know a lot of your subscribers almost persoanlly. Just thought I’d say I admire how you seemingly take time to build relationships with some of your followers. Sorry to hear about all the troubles and stuff you’ve been through. Hope your doing better now x

@@MandyCaneLane yeah I got that sense looking through your comments section randomly. It’s rare people actually use RUclips as a social network these days despite that being what it was built for really, I respect that. You don’t just do things for views or have a genre as such (although maybe British comedy as a main bulk) but I like that you just do you. I often comment suggestions based off how it might boost a channels performance, but I don’t think that’a your goal as such. I think you just like the social aspect of it? I’ve got so used to “content creators” I’ve almost become blind to the social aspect of RUclips these days. I love that! It shows a lot about your character
Interesting solution Ricky has to the problem. My answer was just to ask a question that I knew the answer to "Is this either the door to heaven or hell?" If the person answers yes, then it's the door to heaven, and if the person answers no, then it's the door to hell. Also works with "am I me?" or "is 1 + 1 = 2?"
that probably offended both star trek and star wars people haha, also it wasnt Ewan McGregor acting in The Island it was the clone of Ewan McGregor 😆hehe
He actually told the riddle wrong. The position of the guard needs to be random or unknown as well. If you know that the liar is the one guarding hell, there are suddenly multiple solutions.
If you know the liar is guarding hell, you can just ask anything. How many fingers am I holding up. If the guard lies, it’s the wrong door. That’s why the guard needs to be unknown as well.
Re: the heaven and hell door thing- Asking whichever guard what the other guard would say, guarantees one lie is involved in the answer, so the answer to the question will always be the wrong answer.
I like that puzzle, but there's more than one answer. You can just ask them anything that's obviously true and if they lie about it you know it's the devil. Are you guarding a door?
The Doors Explained: A (Angel) will always tell the truth. D (Devil) will always lie. You ask 1 question and they will both answer the question. If you were to ask the angel “if I were to ask the other one what door he was guarding what would he say?” The angel knowing that the devil is guarding hell but will always lie the devil would say heaven so the angel will reply “heaven” And if you were to ask the devil if I were to ask the other one what door he was guarding what would he say?” He knows that the angel is always going to tell the truth so the angel would reply heaven but the devil has to lie so he would say “Hell” and then they have effectively labelled their own doors.
Art. Such an interesting topic. I remember looking through an art book in high school art class and coming across a 'painting' titled "female llama pissing in the wind". It was a canvas painted orange, just flat orange and nothing else. 🤷 IMHO art should never be ranked or rated or judged, it's just too subjective. And frankly there's so much wank 🙄.
Imagine you have a clone then it gets to night time and you want to go to bed, who gets to sleep in their bed? Do you flip a coin? And what happens to the other one? Is it relegated to the unheated room? I think the unlucky one could become evil if that happened. 😂
Before watching, in case it hasn't been addressed, Ricky (though somebody I consider a borderline comedic genius... Along with Merchant) messed up the logical puzzle. He implied that the person in front of Hell door always lies and Heaven door always tells the truth . In which case, it's an easy solve with 'Is the sky blue?'. One question. If truth, Heaven. if lie, Hell. That's not the puzzle. Either of the guards could be lying or telling the truth and that has no indcation which door they're guarding. With those specific parameters, Ricky's solution now works and is the only way to determine what lies behind each door.
"Derek Parfit and others consider a hypothetical "teletransporter", a machine that puts you to sleep, records your molecular composition, breaking you down into atoms, and relaying it to Mars at the speed of light. On Mars, another machine re-creates you (from local stores of carbon, hydrogen, and so on), each atom in exactly the same relative position. Parfit poses the question of whether or not the teletransporter is actually a method of travel, or if it simply kills and makes an exact replica of the user.[3] Then the teleporter is upgraded. The teletransporter on Earth is modified to not destroy the person who enters it, but instead it can simply make infinite replicas, all of whom would claim to remember entering the teletransporter on Earth in the first place" Smartest thing Karl has ever said! Also!! Ricky's riddle is WRONG. He should include that the question has to relate to which door they're guarding. But he doesn't. So there are INFINITE questions that's can get you the right door. Anything that you know is a fact Eg. What is my name? If he says anything other than Mandy it's hell What's 1+1? Anything other than 2 he's guarding hell What colour shirt am I wearing? How old am I? What's my address? Etc But the riddle as it should be - that he question can only relate to which door they're guarding, Ricky's answer is right Eg If I asked the other guy what door he's guarding Devil: the other guy would say he's guarding hell (lie because the angel would say heaven) Angel: the other guy would say he's guarding heaven (because he's guarding hell but would lie)
i mean based on the situation ricky set out you dont have to overcomplicate it like he did coz u know the hell one is going to lie so you just ask something you know the answer to so like whats 2+2 and if they say 4 they are gaurding heaven
I too was incredibly confused by Ricky's heaven and hell guard riddle until someone explained it to me in a way of asking "if I were to ask the other guard which door lead to heaven, what would they say?". - The guard who always tells the truth will tell you "he'll say it's the door behind him" because the one who lies is always trying to point you in the way of hell. Meanwhile the guard who always lies will tell you "he'll say it's the door behind me" because once again he is trying to point you in the direction of hell. The common factor here is the door behind the lying guard because the truthful guard will know he'll lie and tell you it's the door behind him, whereas the lying guard will tell you that the other guard will tell you it's the door behind him. In both cases the lying guard will try to point you in the direction of his door. It is still extremely confusing, and therefore the best solution is to simply hold up three fingers and ask one guard "how many fingers am I holding up?". The truthful guard will say three, and the lying guard will say otherwise. Therefore you have not only outsmarted the both of them, you have also outsmarted the one giving you the riddle by thinking outside the box and coming up with a simple yet effective solution, and they will either accept it, or tell you that's not allowed because their bruised ego can't take being outsmarted (as you can probably tell, I hate riddles).
First heard that riddle in Labyrinth,I was always confused. Like the fingers question, I'd just ask am I standing or sitting 🤷 Took me years to come up with that😅
The problem is Ricky left out one major thing....the guards have no prior knowledge. So you cant ask about your fingers or the colour of your shirt etc because they don't know what those are.
@@stingersplash If the guards have no prior knowledge then logically they can't know how the other guard thinks, and that is pretty much why I hate these sorts of riddles because they require so stringently specific and illogical goalposts that forbids people from thinking outside the box, a trait that I think demonstrates more intelligence and logical thinking more than simply knowing the right answer to a very specific set of circumstances.
I get what Karl meant by 'How would I know which one I was?'. It wasn't quite as stupid as he made it sound, I know what he meant, he just worded it badly. Ricky and Steve thought he meant 'How would I know who I am?' when he actually meant 'How do I prove I'm the original if we're the exact same?' If you have the same memories and neither Karl or Suzanne (or anyone else) couldn't tell which was the original Karl, then is the 'real' Karl actually the real one? It was a reasonable philosophical question, but his smooth brain made it sound like he didn't know who he was. And Ewan McGregor is pronounced You-wun. It's a Scottish name so there was little chance of you knowing that haha
The idea of a clone being evil (or at least different) has analogies in biology and chemistry. Molecules have a handedness, like cloning a left handed glove into a right handed glove, same but reflected. Earth exclusively use left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars. These molecules interact differently with their environment, for example some artificial sweeteners are real sugars, taste sweet yet pass through our organism without being metabolized because they have the wrong handedness.
I love how much you understand, and how you are explaining these things to me, and I love learning about this kind of stuff, but I didn't fully understand that. 😅
To be fair, I don’t know if this is true or not, but there may be more twins in Britain than most countries because I know a few sets of twins and triplets, but they usually from in-vitro fertilisation. Because you’re more likely to get twins with in vitro fertilisation, I think perhaps because the NHS will provide this for free in our country to people who can’t have children. There’s probably more test-tube babies over here than in other places that don’t have free healthcare.
Ricky's riddle is pretty simple. You just need a question with an objectively true answer that you know the answer to. Karl could simply ask one of the guards "is my name Karl Pilkington" if the guard answers yes, that's the door to heaven, if no, that's the door to hell. Simples
well the riddle usually involves that the liar doesnt necessarily guard the door to hell and vice versa, so just finding out who is lying doesnt help you
@SebHighDef yeah it's just the way Ricky posed it that makes it a problem. His solution does work but is irrelevant in the situation as stated by him because he claimed that there was only one correct answer, which simply isn't the case in his scenario. Otherwise it is a fun logic puzzle.
I'll try to explain the riddle thing a little better... 😆 The Rules: Ricky is guarding hell, Steve is guarding Heaven. Ricky always lies, Steve always tells the truth. One question only. So there are 2 options: 1. If Karl asks Ricky: "What would Steve say is behind his door?". Ricky (the devil) who always lies, will lie and say "Steve will say Hell". 2. If Karl asks Steve: "What would Ricky say is behind his door?". Steve (the angel) who always tells the truth, will tell the truth and say "Ricky will say Heaven" (because he knows Ricky will lie). So basically, whoever you ask, whatever answer they give is what is behind their own door 🤓 Hope that makes more sense.
I get so angry at this episode when Ricky and Steve call Carl an idiot for the clone question. Carl is absolutely correct. If there were a clone of you that had identical memories, there would be literally no way of knowing if you were the original or the clone.
It's really not that hard. A. As long as you remember being in the house before. B. Cloning cannot replicate non-genetic markings like scars, tattoos, or even if you shaved recently.
"Some time maybe good. Some time maybe shit." 😂You did that voice good. I don't know if I would want a double. I would have to be in some kind of doo doo in need of a double for me to go ahead and get one, like if I had been president of the United States and something happens. I'm glad I'm not an identical twin. One reason is because I wouldn't want to see myself all day. Every time I look up, it's me. I'm good with just looking in the mirror when I'm ready to look in the mirror, and that's it. The other reason is, Karl does have a point that, if the clone (or twin) commits the crime, they might think it's you, so you get punished for what they did. So I'm glad I'm not an identical twin. I wouldn't have minded a fraternal twin. Just not an identical twin. I mean, I would have loved the identical twin. But, yeah. Star Trek, good show. Star Wars, good movie. I like both. Sometimes Karl over thinks things. I think I followed what they were saying on the "one question for heaven or hell" part, but then after Ricky explained about himself lying and saying what Stephen would say, Karl took it to be as if they were talking about their own door, so they could have lost the viewer from Karl getting lost in the explanation. So even Karl didn't understand Ricky's explanation.
The lighting looks absolutely fine this vid, not perfect maybe but certainly not shit. Hope all is well after your tough few weeks. That story about the person eating the banana 'art' made me laugh, there have been some similar instances of people accidentally destroying 'art'. There was a cleaner at an Italian gallery who threw away some bits of newspaper, cardboard, and some other trash as she didn't realise it was an art installation. It was allegedly created to make people think about the environment and was worth $15k.
With the doors, You should ask the doorman what door the other doorman would say they were guarding, Ricky would say that Steve would say that Steve is guarding Hell because Ricky is lying, on the other hand if You ask Steve what door Ricky would say Ricky was guarding Steve would say that Ricky would say that he is guarding Heaven because he knows Ricky would lie.
I honestly think Karl has a legitimate point about not knowing whether you're the clone or the original. Consider the hypothetical mode of transportation known as teleportation. There's the wormhole kind, where you walk through and appear in a completely different location in space, then there's the scan-and-reassemble kind where your entire body is scanned, that information transmitted to a new location, then reconstructed like for like. In the second case, you've effectively cloned yourself. The you or the clone would need visual stimulus to confirm whether or not you're the original. We can imagine a setup where you're teleported in the same room, and there's absolutely no visual indicator which is which. I guess at the very least, the clone has a gap in memory between being scanned and being reconstructed, which the original would have experienced. If that gap was insignificant, there'd be no perceivable difference
The thing is you’re 100% right if you weren’t there or didn’t know about the clone but in Karl’s hypothetical he knew he’d been cloned and had met up with him so unless there was a trick where they were swapped he’d obviously know he’s the original Karl
@@NJH01 Doubt would creep in when you conclude the clone would be thinking the same thing. So it brings into question everything you think you knew for sure, because that's also what the clone would be thinking. I'm talking about the specific case where you step into one of two facing cubicles of a cloning device, close the curtain, the machine clones, and both of you open the curtain to stand facing each other. In the absence of any visual indication, like a big old sign above the cubicles saying "Original" and "Clone", You might initially think you're the original, based on what you think you know, until you realise the other version of you is equally confident, and that's not a reliable indication of the truth.
But in the teleporting instance, one is scanned, deconstructed and then reconstructed at a different location. So there is still only one of you. Exactly the same as before or a cloned version, but the 'original' you is gone. This reminded me about the movie 'The Prestige' - "It took courage to climb into that machine every night.. not knowing.. if I'd be the man in the box.. or the prestige."
@@MandyCaneLane I guess if you're being transported particle by particle, it'd be like a cut & paste. If just the reassembly instructions were transferred, and you're reconstructed from new material it'd be like a copy & paste, and hey presto, there's two of you. Actually, quantum teleportation is a reality, and it's the destructive kind, and has been demonstrated with things as large as a calcium atom! It wasn't a problem with "Living with yourself", if you had to dig yourself out of your own grave, that was a goooood indication you were a clone lol
One guard lies honestly, the other guard's honestly lying. One states a truth about a lie, the other states a lie about a truth. So both answers involve a lie, which solves the asymmetric problem with most questions.
I agree about modern art. One of our artists, Tracy Emin became famous winning awards with her exhibit of an unmade bed. That's not art, it's being too lazy to make a bed lol.
16:01 Ricky's solution doesn't work. E.g. if you ask hell what heaven would say, he'd say hell because he's lying. If you ask heaven what hell would say, he'd also say hell because he's telling the truth and knows hell would lie. So that question doesn't help distinguish. It's easier just to go up to either door and ask something you already know, like, am I alive. They need another rule to stop that, that the question can only be about the door. This question is designed to frazzled the brain. 😂
Hell is standing infront of hell's door, and heaven knows hell would lie and say they're infront of the heaven door, so heaven's answer to the question is: heaven.
I hate disagreeing with Ricky but there are loads of questions Karl could have asked at the doors to heaven and hell. If he asked what colour shirt he was wearing, he'd know if the guy was lying or not.
That's an excellent point, and one that's been bugging me. I was asked this question by my grandfather in the 80s and my recollection of the scenario was subtly different, which I think actually closes this loophole you point out. In the scenario posed to me, the guards weren't standing in front any particular door, so asking a question to identify the liar still needed a second question to correlate this to the right door. The question needed in my scenario was: "Which door would the other guard want me to go through?" and the devil would point to the hell door, and the angel would also point to the hell door. So you'd go through the door they're NOT pointing to. (The assumption, I think somehow phrased into the question, being the devil wants you to go to hell and the angel wants you to go to heaven)
So he didn't explain it well, but basically the question to BOTH Door keepers is "What would the other door keeper say if you asked him what door he was guarding?" So the one 'Steve' guarding the actual door to heaven tells the truth saying that I do guard this door. Ricky (Who always tells a lie remember) is going to lie about what steves says so he says Hell, whereas Steve knows that Ricky would lie about his door and say it was Heaven because ricky always lies so Steve had revealed ricky lied and Ricky revealed that steve told the truth through their different answer to the same question as to what the other one would do. Whereas if the question was Who's guarding heaven? Steve says me and Ricky says me and Who's guarding Hell? Ricky would say Him and Steve says Him, so you reverse and flip it so that their own restricted answer undoes the TRUTH!
Two doors:
Ask person guarding Hell, "If I asked the other guard what's behind their door, what would they say?" -> Person guarding hell tells lie and says Hell (because the other person is guarding heaven, and would tell the truth) -> This is what's behind their door
Ask person guarding Heaven, "If I asked the other guard what's behind their door, what would they say?" -> Person guarding heaven tells the truth and says Heaven (because the other person is guarding Hell and would lie) -> This is what's behind their door
The part that might have thrown you off during the episode about this was that immediately after Rick explained this all as "what would the OTHER person say", Karl instead just asked "what is behind your door?" and so then both answers were wrong, and there was no further reclarification of the logic.
Happy to see more Karl on the channel! Hope things are going well now
"How would I know which one I was" is actually genius if you really think about it
Right. If they cloned your memories then it really would be impossible to tell if you were the clone or not.
@@JohnnyJohnny-f5o It would all depend on how the clone was created. If you were knocked out to make the clone and you both woke up at the same time, then you wouldn't know for sure. But if they just took a blood sample and made the clone while you watched, then you would know that you weren't the clone while the clone wouldn't be sure if he was or not.
Not being able to tell if you're a clone or the original is one of the main concepts of the movie Infinity Pool. After the cloning operation, you wake up feeling exhausted and confused and they simply tell you that you're the original, but there's no proof and no guarantee.

That's kinda the point of a perfect clone, they have exactly the same memory of turning up at the location and agreeing to be cloned as you do.
Yup, it only works if you wake up in the same place and nobody's there to tell you if you're the original or not.
Yeah, it's weird how nobody else got that. It's common sense Lots of Carl's ideas makes sense, but everybody writes him off.
I think it’s because he phrased it as “how do I know I’m me,” and Steve and Ricky clung to the formal absurdity of that statement instead of listening from his explanation that the “me” refers to “the real Karl that I think I am.”
It’s just a silly question on a comedy podcast it’s not meant to be taken this seriously
@@balder9033 That's because he wasn't told that he would lose consciousness at any stage, that was never said, just that a clone shows up. The fact that he has experience and no loss of consciousness means he should be in no doubt he is the original, if he starts doubting that he is an idiot.
The real answer to the door question would be "do I want to go to heaven?"
The liar will say no because he knows you'll want to go to heaven but he has to lie, but the truthful one will say yes because they know you will want to go to heaven

Perfect reaction again loved your art story too had me laughing out loud when the guy ate the banana 🤣🤣
Well thank you! 🤗🤗
I like how Mandy passively wanted to murder every other entrant in the art contests 😂😂😂
🙃
The crime scene probably would have won first prize.
I think it helps being stupider to get the door conundrum. Like, I'd just ask "did the other guard just piss his pants?" Ta-da, I walk through the correct door.
Hey Mandy, a good suggestion from moi, is Johnny Depp in Lifes Too Short - Depp plays himself, but is fascinated with Warwick davies, and tries to get back at Ricky, for the golden globes comments. obviously acting, as Depp and Ricky are good mates, but sooo funny!!
omg, i nearly forgot about that. that was a brilliant episode.
Awesome, thank you!!
I think they did say Dopple ganger, but from the tone of the conversation that definitely talking about a clone
I used to be confused about it as well and Karl’s understanding of things doesn’t help but Steve says how Karl’s fascinated by the concept of doppelgängers but the email just asks Karl what he’d do with an exact replica or clone of himself
The thing with the doors is that by asking what the other person would say you guarantee that the answer is always a lie. Because the person who always tells the truth will answer (truthfully) with the lie that the other person would have given; the one who always lies would answer (falsely) with the opposite of what the truthful person would say, i.e. a lie. So whichever one you ask, they will answer with a lie about what the other door is, effectively giving you the truth about their own door. So if they answer “Heaven”, go through their door, if they answer “Hell”, go through the other door.
The simplest question for that one liar riddle is "which is your door?"either would point to the heaven door.
Ohhhh!!! Is THAT what Ricky was trying to explain??
@@MandyCaneLane he was trying to explain a more roundabout question. That also works but it's way more complicated than it needs to be. This riddle is also in the movie Labyrinth by the way.
Hi…have drawn a nice shot of Karl and Suzanne hugging by the Eiffel Tower in the artwork. Will send you when I’m finished…lots of respect, watching before I go to sleep
That sounds lovely! 🤗
A Doppelganger Should Have Different Memories .
I think what Karl means by "How do I know which one is me" is that in this scenario the clone has all your memories and stuff as well. A true 100% copy in every way. You both remember doing and experiencing the same things from the day you were born until you meet. The clone *is* you physically and mentally.
How would you know which one is actually you and which is the clone? You'll both be utterly convinced you're the "original". You say the real one always knows, but the clone knows exactly the same things you do and feels the same way.
I was going to say the same thing. Very often, they seem to try very hard to not get what Karl is saying so they can ridicule him. Plus I don’t think either of them are as smart and knowledgeable as they think they are.
But they never said it had all your memories, plus the original and the clone would have different experiences after the clone is made. The original not remembering being made as a clone, because he wasn't made as a clone
@@cohenparsons947 You're applying a lot of logic to Karls train of thought here. I'm not sure that's the way forward! 😂
I'm with you, but I don't think that's how Karl heard it. They concurred when he asked if his doppelganger would be exactly the same. To me that sounds like they'll be the same mentally and physically. EXACTLY the same.
Even the clone would just wake up at the hospital with your memories up until the point where you went to hospital and got your DNA extracted for this experiment. It'd be as if you both lived the same life up until the point where there was suddenly two of you.
It's not where my mind would've gone if I was posed the same question as Karl, but that's why I love Karl. He has a way of seeing things from a different angle.
@@laupstad sure, I get what Karl's saying I'm just not convinced by it and a lot of people seem to agree with it
@@cohenparsons947 What's there to be convinced by?
The phenomenon "doppelganger" isn't real in the first place and even if someone cloned you that clone wouldn't necessarily even look like you (Though you'd probably look related). The clone would just share your DNA. Not your looks and certainly not your thoughts and experiences.
On a scientific level we were on thin ice as soon as the question was asked. There is nothing to convince anyone of here. Just the amusing musings of Karl.
A better example of Karl’s point of not knowing which one he was is the Arnie film 6th day.
In that there are clones and they aren’t aware they are the clone. And there is a cool little way to identify them as a clone.

To explain the conundrum, the question is “if I were to ask the other person what door they are guarding, what would they say? “ and whatever they answer, is the door that THEY are guarding. Because it catches the bad one lying about the other. But there are many loopholes to this one. 😂

I agree with you about the art world. It's why I gave up doing my degree.

"The Island" is a movie based on the very well known series "The Prisoner" , which was actually filmed in Wales
Lol its also hilarious you call it the little soldier 🤣
😅😅
The two doors/paths riddle (I'm so bad at explaining this so apologies if I mess up):
You can ask one of them, "Which path would the other guard say is the path to heaven?" It doesn't matter which guard you ask because they'll both give the same response.
The best way I can explain why is through voicing out their thoughts.
GUARD 1: "I must answer this question truthfully. I am guarding Hell. If this traveller asked the other guard where the path to Heaven was, he would point to my path instead of his - because he is a liar." *Guard 1 points to Guard 1's path*
GUARD 2: "I must answer this question with a lie. I am guarding Heaven. If this traveller asked the other guard where the path to Heaven was, he would point to my path because he is telling the truth: I am guarding Heaven. However, I cannot tell the traveller this as I must answer their question with a lie. Therefore, I must direct them to the path to Hell." *Guard 2 points to Guard 1's path*
Notice how they both point to the same path. This is the path you AVOID. Whichever path they respond with, go down the OTHER way and you'll make it to Heaven.
11:01... Just ask a basic ("What's 2 +2" or "Does 2 + 2 equal 4") math question.
If the guard gets the answer right, he's guarding the 'heaven/truth' door... If he gets it wrong he's guarding the 'hell/lie' door.
Funny enough about the beginning of this video is that years after this (2018) Karl had his own TV series called Sick of It with a very similar premise. I remember that Paul Rudd show, it was really good.

I still don't get the logical conundrum Ricky posed, no matter how many times it is explained lol
You and me both!! Haha comments are helping though 💜
Interesting solution Ricky has to the problem. My answer was just to ask a question that I knew the answer to "Is this either the door to heaven or hell?" If the person answers yes, then it's the door to heaven, and if the person answers no, then it's the door to hell. Also works with "am I me?" or "is 1 + 1 = 2?"
"Am I me?" Sounds like what Karl would ask if cloned! Haha Thank you for explainimg Rasmus!
Karl wrote a show called 'Sick of It' where he plays two parts. One part is just in his imagination & nobody else sees him. It's pretty good.
that probably offended both star trek and star wars people haha, also it wasnt Ewan McGregor acting in The Island it was the clone of Ewan McGregor 😆hehe
Lighting looks good either way. Glad you're settling in 🙂
Thank you Paul 🤗
He actually told the riddle wrong. The position of the guard needs to be random or unknown as well. If you know that the liar is the one guarding hell, there are suddenly multiple solutions.
If you know the liar is guarding hell, you can just ask anything. How many fingers am I holding up. If the guard lies, it’s the wrong door. That’s why the guard needs to be unknown as well.

The movie "Multiplicity" doesn't have evil clones. If anything, the original is the bad guy.

Asking whichever guard what the other guard would say, guarantees one lie is involved in the answer, so the answer to the question will always be the wrong answer.

@@steved6092 Mandy lives in Argentina so she'd understand/speak Spanish, not Portuguese haha
I like that puzzle, but there's more than one answer. You can just ask them anything that's obviously true and if they lie about it you know it's the devil. Are you guarding a door?
The Doors Explained:
A (Angel) will always tell the truth.
D (Devil) will always lie.
You ask 1 question and they will both answer the question.
If you were to ask the angel “if I were to ask the other one what door he was guarding what would he say?”
The angel knowing that the devil is guarding hell but will always lie the devil would say heaven so the angel will reply “heaven”
And if you were to ask the devil if I were to ask the other one what door he was guarding what would he say?”
He knows that the angel is always going to tell the truth so the angel would reply heaven but the devil has to lie so he would say “Hell”
and then they have effectively labelled their own doors.
Whatever troubles Mandy has had, we all agree that it's Argentina's fault, right?
Haha, a particular Argentinian actually!
Art. Such an interesting topic. I remember looking through an art book in high school art class and coming across a 'painting' titled "female llama pissing in the wind". It was a canvas painted orange, just flat orange and nothing else. 🤷

There’s a movie called the double, that deals with clone like concepts but it’s darker
Imagine you have a clone then it gets to night time and you want to go to bed, who gets to sleep in their bed? Do you flip a coin? And what happens to the other one? Is it relegated to the unheated room? I think the unlucky one could become evil if that happened. 😂
Lmao
Ooh, The Island, Michael Bay's last good movie.
Before watching, in case it hasn't been addressed, Ricky (though somebody I consider a borderline comedic genius... Along with Merchant) messed up the logical puzzle. He implied that the person in front of Hell door always lies and Heaven door always tells the truth . In which case, it's an easy solve with 'Is the sky blue?'. One question. If truth, Heaven. if lie, Hell. That's not the puzzle. Either of the guards could be lying or telling the truth and that has no indcation which door they're guarding. With those specific parameters, Ricky's solution now works and is the only way to determine what lies behind each door.
Mandy, are you going to do more film reactions?
Yes, when I get a bit more back on track 🤗
@@MandyCaneLane Are any British films or TV shows popular in Argentina?

@@MandyCaneLane ok, You do it your way!
Steve doesn’t tell many story’s but they’re all good
"Derek Parfit and others consider a hypothetical "teletransporter", a machine that puts you to sleep, records your molecular composition, breaking you down into atoms, and relaying it to Mars at the speed of light. On Mars, another machine re-creates you (from local stores of carbon, hydrogen, and so on), each atom in exactly the same relative position. Parfit poses the question of whether or not the teletransporter is actually a method of travel, or if it simply kills and makes an exact replica of the user.[3]
Then the teleporter is upgraded. The teletransporter on Earth is modified to not destroy the person who enters it, but instead it can simply make infinite replicas, all of whom would claim to remember entering the teletransporter on Earth in the first place"
Smartest thing Karl has ever said!
Also!! Ricky's riddle is WRONG. He should include that the question has to relate to which door they're guarding. But he doesn't. So there are INFINITE questions that's can get you the right door. Anything that you know is a fact
Eg.
What is my name? If he says anything other than Mandy it's hell
What's 1+1? Anything other than 2 he's guarding hell
What colour shirt am I wearing?
How old am I?
What's my address?
Etc
But the riddle as it should be - that he question can only relate to which door they're guarding, Ricky's answer is right
Eg
If I asked the other guy what door he's guarding
Devil: the other guy would say he's guarding hell (lie because the angel would say heaven)
Angel: the other guy would say he's guarding heaven (because he's guarding hell but would lie)
i mean based on the situation ricky set out you dont have to overcomplicate it like he did coz u know the hell one is going to lie so you just ask something you know the answer to so like whats 2+2 and if they say 4 they are gaurding heaven
I too was incredibly confused by Ricky's heaven and hell guard riddle until someone explained it to me in a way of asking "if I were to ask the other guard which door lead to heaven, what would they say?".
- The guard who always tells the truth will tell you "he'll say it's the door behind him" because the one who lies is always trying to point you in the way of hell. Meanwhile the guard who always lies will tell you "he'll say it's the door behind me" because once again he is trying to point you in the direction of hell. The common factor here is the door behind the lying guard because the truthful guard will know he'll lie and tell you it's the door behind him, whereas the lying guard will tell you that the other guard will tell you it's the door behind him. In both cases the lying guard will try to point you in the direction of his door.
It is still extremely confusing, and therefore the best solution is to simply hold up three fingers and ask one guard "how many fingers am I holding up?". The truthful guard will say three, and the lying guard will say otherwise. Therefore you have not only outsmarted the both of them, you have also outsmarted the one giving you the riddle by thinking outside the box and coming up with a simple yet effective solution, and they will either accept it, or tell you that's not allowed because their bruised ego can't take being outsmarted (as you can probably tell, I hate riddles).
First heard that riddle in Labyrinth,I was always confused.
Like the fingers question, I'd just ask am I standing or sitting 🤷
Took me years to come up with that😅
The problem is Ricky left out one major thing....the guards have no prior knowledge. So you cant ask about your fingers or the colour of your shirt etc because they don't know what those are.
@@stingersplash If the guards have no prior knowledge then logically they can't know how the other guard thinks, and that is pretty much why I hate these sorts of riddles because they require so stringently specific and illogical goalposts that forbids people from thinking outside the box, a trait that I think demonstrates more intelligence and logical thinking more than simply knowing the right answer to a very specific set of circumstances.
@@stingersplash forget it, don't want to go to heaven or hell anyway 😅
the point is that the lying guard doesnt necessarily stand in front of the door to hell, so the finger thing doesnt work
Oh thank goodness, those dead pixels on my TV are clearing up 😜
Hallelujah! 🙌🏻
I get what Karl meant by 'How would I know which one I was?'. It wasn't quite as stupid as he made it sound, I know what he meant, he just worded it badly. Ricky and Steve thought he meant 'How would I know who I am?' when he actually meant 'How do I prove I'm the original if we're the exact same?' If you have the same memories and neither Karl or Suzanne (or anyone else) couldn't tell which was the original Karl, then is the 'real' Karl actually the real one?
It was a reasonable philosophical question, but his smooth brain made it sound like he didn't know who he was.
And Ewan McGregor is pronounced You-wun. It's a Scottish name so there was little chance of you knowing that haha
Love your Karl reactions Mandy, it’s like watching them for the first time all over again!
So glad you do! 🤗🙌🏻
The idea of a clone being evil (or at least different) has analogies in biology and chemistry. Molecules have a handedness, like cloning a left handed glove into a right handed glove, same but reflected. Earth exclusively use left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars. These molecules interact differently with their environment, for example some artificial sweeteners are real sugars, taste sweet yet pass through our organism without being metabolized because they have the wrong handedness.
I love how much you understand, and how you are explaining these things to me, and I love learning about this kind of stuff, but I didn't fully understand that. 😅
For heaven and hell can't you just any question you know the answer to?
I guess 🤷🏻♀️
To be fair, I don’t know if this is true or not, but there may be more twins in Britain than most countries because I know a few sets of twins and triplets, but they usually from in-vitro fertilisation. Because you’re more likely to get twins with in vitro fertilisation, I think perhaps because the NHS will provide this for free in our country to people who can’t have children. There’s probably more test-tube babies over here than in other places that don’t have free healthcare.
Ricky's riddle is pretty simple. You just need a question with an objectively true answer that you know the answer to.
Karl could simply ask one of the guards "is my name Karl Pilkington" if the guard answers yes, that's the door to heaven, if no, that's the door to hell. Simples
well the riddle usually involves that the liar doesnt necessarily guard the door to hell and vice versa, so just finding out who is lying doesnt help you
@SebHighDef yeah it's just the way Ricky posed it that makes it a problem. His solution does work but is irrelevant in the situation as stated by him because he claimed that there was only one correct answer, which simply isn't the case in his scenario. Otherwise it is a fun logic puzzle.
Ricky didn't explain it like that! 😭

I'll try to explain the riddle thing a little better... 😆
The Rules: Ricky is guarding hell, Steve is guarding Heaven. Ricky always lies, Steve always tells the truth. One question only.
So there are 2 options:
1. If Karl asks Ricky: "What would Steve say is behind his door?". Ricky (the devil) who always lies, will lie and say "Steve will say Hell".
2. If Karl asks Steve: "What would Ricky say is behind his door?". Steve (the angel) who always tells the truth, will tell the truth and say "Ricky will say Heaven" (because he knows Ricky will lie).
So basically, whoever you ask, whatever answer they give is what is behind their own door 🤓
Hope that makes more sense.

I get so angry at this episode when Ricky and Steve call Carl an idiot for the clone question. Carl is absolutely correct. If there were a clone of you that had identical memories, there would be literally no way of knowing if you were the original or the clone.
It wasn't a clone question though, it was a doppelganger.
Karl asked how would he know which one he is, not which one is the original though
It's really not that hard.
A. As long as you remember being in the house before.
B. Cloning cannot replicate non-genetic markings like scars, tattoos, or even if you shaved recently.
"Some time maybe good. Some time maybe shit." 😂You did that voice good.
I don't know if I would want a double. I would have to be in some kind of doo doo in need of a double for me to go ahead and get one, like if I had been president of the United States and something happens. I'm glad I'm not an identical twin. One reason is because I wouldn't want to see myself all day. Every time I look up, it's me. I'm good with just looking in the mirror when I'm ready to look in the mirror, and that's it. The other reason is, Karl does have a point that, if the clone (or twin) commits the crime, they might think it's you, so you get punished for what they did. So I'm glad I'm not an identical twin. I wouldn't have minded a fraternal twin. Just not an identical twin. I mean, I would have loved the identical twin. But, yeah.
Star Trek, good show. Star Wars, good movie. I like both.
Sometimes Karl over thinks things.
I think I followed what they were saying on the "one question for heaven or hell" part, but then after Ricky explained about himself lying and saying what Stephen would say, Karl took it to be as if they were talking about their own door, so they could have lost the viewer from Karl getting lost in the explanation. So even Karl didn't understand Ricky's explanation.
STAR TREK? Leave the room, now!

There's one moment I look forward to every time there's a Karl reaction video. And I haven't been let down yet! This - Mandy: "He has a point."
Lmao! The man does have points sometimes! 🤣
I honestly think Karl has a legitimate point about not knowing whether you're the clone or the original. Consider the hypothetical mode of transportation known as teleportation. There's the wormhole kind, where you walk through and appear in a completely different location in space, then there's the scan-and-reassemble kind where your entire body is scanned, that information transmitted to a new location, then reconstructed like for like. In the second case, you've effectively cloned yourself. The you or the clone would need visual stimulus to confirm whether or not you're the original. We can imagine a setup where you're teleported in the same room, and there's absolutely no visual indicator which is which. I guess at the very least, the clone has a gap in memory between being scanned and being reconstructed, which the original would have experienced. If that gap was insignificant, there'd be no perceivable difference
The thing is you’re 100% right if you weren’t there or didn’t know about the clone but in Karl’s hypothetical he knew he’d been cloned and had met up with him so unless there was a trick where they were swapped he’d obviously know he’s the original Karl
@@NJH01 Doubt would creep in when you conclude the clone would be thinking the same thing. So it brings into question everything you think you knew for sure, because that's also what the clone would be thinking. I'm talking about the specific case where you step into one of two facing cubicles of a cloning device, close the curtain, the machine clones, and both of you open the curtain to stand facing each other. In the absence of any visual indication, like a big old sign above the cubicles saying "Original" and "Clone", You might initially think you're the original, based on what you think you know, until you realise the other version of you is equally confident, and that's not a reliable indication of the truth.
@@NJH01but then that knowledge of knowing he'd been cloned would also be cloned. Karl took it literally and made it much more interesting.
But in the teleporting instance, one is scanned, deconstructed and then reconstructed at a different location. So there is still only one of you. Exactly the same as before or a cloned version, but the 'original' you is gone. This reminded me about the movie 'The Prestige' - "It took courage to climb into that machine every night.. not knowing.. if I'd be the man in the box.. or the prestige."
@@MandyCaneLane I guess if you're being transported particle by particle, it'd be like a cut & paste. If just the reassembly instructions were transferred, and you're reconstructed from new material it'd be like a copy & paste, and hey presto, there's two of you. Actually, quantum teleportation is a reality, and it's the destructive kind, and has been demonstrated with things as large as a calcium atom!
It wasn't a problem with "Living with yourself", if you had to dig yourself out of your own grave, that was a goooood indication you were a clone lol
That was the first of the great Steve stories, there are a couple more great ones like that.
One guard lies honestly, the other guard's honestly lying. One states a truth about a lie, the other states a lie about a truth. So both answers involve a lie, which solves the asymmetric problem with most questions.
Honestly? Not going to lie, you lost me 😅
@@MandyCaneLane TLDR: It's the door on the left 😄
Karl could ask a simple maths question like what is two plus two. The devil would not answer four.
You are my hero! 🥺
I agree about modern art. One of our artists, Tracy Emin became famous winning awards with her exhibit of an unmade bed. That's not art, it's being too lazy to make a bed lol.

Paul Rudd’s wife in living with yourself is a stand up comedian in real life. Aisling Bea is hilarious!
Yes!
16:01 Ricky's solution doesn't work. E.g. if you ask hell what heaven would say, he'd say hell because he's lying. If you ask heaven what hell would say, he'd also say hell because he's telling the truth and knows hell would lie. So that question doesn't help distinguish. It's easier just to go up to either door and ask something you already know, like, am I alive. They need another rule to stop that, that the question can only be about the door. This question is designed to frazzled the brain. 😂
Hell is standing infront of hell's door, and heaven knows hell would lie and say they're infront of the heaven door, so heaven's answer to the question is: heaven.
@@morganga I shouldn't have tried to understand this before getting out of bed. 🤦♂️😂
I think most ppl are OK with passing in the sea, it's so massive it doesn't really matter
But if you got to the bathroom, no one seas you! (Lol, see what I did there?) 🤪
@@MandyCaneLane oh your a punny one lol
I hate disagreeing with Ricky but there are loads of questions Karl could have asked at the doors to heaven and hell. If he asked what colour shirt he was wearing, he'd know if the guy was lying or not.
That's an excellent point, and one that's been bugging me. I was asked this question by my grandfather in the 80s and my recollection of the scenario was subtly different, which I think actually closes this loophole you point out. In the scenario posed to me, the guards weren't standing in front any particular door, so asking a question to identify the liar still needed a second question to correlate this to the right door. The question needed in my scenario was: "Which door would the other guard want me to go through?" and the devil would point to the hell door, and the angel would also point to the hell door. So you'd go through the door they're NOT pointing to. (The assumption, I think somehow phrased into the question, being the devil wants you to go to hell and the angel wants you to go to heaven)
That wording maybe works better. Ricky maybe meant to say it that way, but a certain person with a head like an orange put him off a bit lol
What Ricky should have said was, whatever the other doorkeeper said would be the wrong answer.
So he didn't explain it well, but basically the question to BOTH Door keepers is "What would the other door keeper say if you asked him what door he was guarding?" So the one 'Steve' guarding the actual door to heaven tells the truth saying that I do guard this door. Ricky (Who always tells a lie remember) is going to lie about what steves says so he says Hell, whereas Steve knows that Ricky would lie about his door and say it was Heaven because ricky always lies so Steve had revealed ricky lied and Ricky revealed that steve told the truth through their different answer to the same question as to what the other one would do.
Whereas if the question was Who's guarding heaven? Steve says me and Ricky says me and Who's guarding Hell? Ricky would say Him and Steve says Him, so you reverse and flip it so that their own restricted answer undoes the TRUTH!
