I used my old phone number for my wifi password a while back but I'd tell it to people in two digits like that and they wouldn't ever notice. You always tell your number as 3-3-4 digits so to hear it or see it as 2-2-2-2-2 makes it seem like a totally different number!

Fun fact: most of Europe does its numbers in two digit increments, because it's less complex grammatically in other languages to say "achtzig, null eins" or "quatre-vingts, zéro un" (80 01...) Than acht hundert, eins or huit cent, un (800-1...) As a result, never try this trick on someone from Europe.

Ah, I thought it was 42. It just so happens that in both columns of numbers, they have the same numbers as eachother, but the left also has 2, the right, 4. So I thought, put the missing number in each column, 4 and 2 are left. It's super famous and common, one of the first to be guessed as a random number, and Brian surely knows it.

It's the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, so of course it's a solution to this puzzle!

Back in the 80's, I used to write my 10-digit phone number as five pairs of numbers with dots (.) in between: 55.53.21.43.21, similar to an Ethernet address. I called it a "telenet address", but most people didn't understand :( so I had to stop doing it. So when I saw this video, I was like duh! What a blast from the past!
@RakkiXIII
@RakkiXIII 5 жыл бұрын
I thought the answer was 42 and that all the pairs of number came from the source number 80342 (28 loops from the end to the beginning), and that the reason Brian would definitely know the answer was because they knew for a fact that Brian has seen Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy.

I haven't watched the solution yet, is the answer 42 or 24? Probably 42. Cause it's the answer to everything 😊. I hope I'm right. Edit: damn it.. My logic, there are 2 of each 8, 0 and 3's.. The only two single numbers were 4 and 2.. So either the number was 42 or 24 but since there was a number starting with a 2, my guess was 42.

I guessed it was possible, although I don't know Brian's number... however it rang my bell. A variation of this is a silly practical joke when someone ask you to dictate them a phone number from a third person or a company, you can tell them their own number but with the digits grouped in an uncommon way, so let's say your victim's number is 432-2345, you dictate someone's else number as "forty three... twenty two... thirty four... five" and it's after you give them the dangling last digit that they say "wait a moment...".
