Can you solve the unstoppable blob riddle? - Dan Finkel

5 жыл бұрынA shooting star crashes onto Earth and unleashes a hideous, rampaging blob. Can you stop it from destroying the planet?
--
A shooting star crashes onto Earth and a hideous blob emerges. It creeps and leaps, it glides and slides. It’s also unstoppable: no matter what you throw at it, it just re-grows and continues its rampage. The only way to save the planet is to cut the entire blob into precise acute triangles while it sleeps, rendering it inert. Can you stop the blob from destroying the planet? Dan Finkel shows how.

Tmjon they said you can only have 7 cuts while the satellite is right above you, before it moves away. If the monster never grew, then you could just wait for the satellite to complete an orbit around earth so you can get another chance. But since it doubles in size ever hour, by the time the satellite completes orbit the monster will be larger than the earth.

You can actually solve the riddle with only 3 cuts. I wish I could explain, but it's sorta hard to do in words, so try to figure it out yourself. Edit: Okay, I figured out how to explain it. On each of the 3 sides, go to the middle of the side. Then, make a cut to each of the other middles of the other sides. Boom. 4 triangles, all with acute angles.

That wouldn't work in case the triangle was extremely obtuse itself, it would result in 2 acute and 2 obtuse triangles, you need a solution the works for every possible triangle so if a triangle has three sides as 100, 99 and 2, the 2 length side being base 99 being back and 100 being the hypotenuse then if you match all middle points you get 2 acute and 2 obtuse traingles, but if you cut it into a Pentagon it works universally

It depends on the angles of the blob's triangle, which I wish they'd specified. If the blob's triangle is really short and long, then one of the angles of each of the two bottom corner triangles will be right or obtuse. I think even the solution they gave would fail if the blob's triangle is scalene and is really short and long though. Them not giving more info about the blob's triangle makes it impossible to give a perfect answer (unless I'm mistaken).

@vegetalss4 5 жыл бұрын
This would depend on the starting triangle, if the biggest angle is 90 degrees or bigger (like the triangle that is shown for instance) then it wouldn't work because that angle would stay the same size. The hexagon solution on the other hand works no matter what kind of triangle it initially is.
@TRquiet 5 жыл бұрын
That would only work if all the original angles were already acute, meaning you wouldn’t have to do anything to begin with.
@CorruptedMaterial 5 жыл бұрын
If you could cut it into a triforce then all the angles would need to be less than 90 degrees from the start so the blob wouldn't live anyway.

@@rijurini3396 It was from a Goosebumps book. "More Monster Blood". It is a goo (A different one than from "The Blob That Ate Everyone" but it pretty much does the same thing). In the second book about the Monster Blood (Season 2 Episode 16 of the 90s TV show, if you would rather watch it) it gets on the plane with the protagonist, and it reacts pretty bad to the airplane food. That's how they beat it.

@@X_Baron Isn't it a perspective thing though? The triangle is supposed to be flat on the ground (according to the story), and so, from the perspective that the graphics person has put us at, it appears elongated at the edge nearest us, and compressed at the point furtherst away from us. Admittedly it might have been better to create the effect of the camera moving up and overhead (relative to the triangle) prior to the cutting, so the diagram could be viewed in less misleading way.
@lapidations 5 жыл бұрын
I agree with @MrDannydoodah, it's a perspective thing. We can't be 100% sure if all the angles are acute or not from this point of view, they should've made a top down view for those parts.

Bisect (but do not cut, just find the line) all 3 vertices, the center-point of the pentagon you will create is at the intersection of these lines. CUT a line from the obtuse vertex along its bisector to the center-point (but not beyond). From the center-point to longest leg of the triangle, cut a line on each side of the bisector of the obtuse angle SUCH THAT the angle between the bisector and each cut is equal and the sum is 90' from the base of the acute triangle you created (just barely
