I've binge about 60 episodes so far, and this is the first time I solved all puzzles in the vid. To be fair, I already knew the second one, but I'm still counting it!!

The first one was really easy. At first I thought the first symbol was an M, and that it either spelled out a word or just went alphabetically. Then I tried to see if it worked numerically and it just hit me that they're mirror images or 1,2,3... You can't fool me this time Brushwood

Kelby Brewer Why take it so personally if you're the one pointing out the fact that IQ is an immutable fact and not a character trait. Stating an immutable fact is not the same thing as an insult. The fact that they're not "the thinking type", just is. That's not rude. If he said "these fucking people are retards!" Then I'd totally agree with you, but that's patently not the approach that we see.

I personally like these videos better than your card trick videos for scamschool, the likelihood of you having something to write with is much higher than to have a deck of cards on the off hand. Also, you could just decide that you are running low on cash, and break out one of these puzzles without them seeing any previous intention. Bravo!

The 2nd puzzle is a basic data compression technique, which is only effective if you have a large number of the same digit in a row. The technique preserves order though, so it would be 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211... and you never get a digit higher than 3... so geeking out right now...

I think the first puzzle could be harder if the symbols were randomized. One of the reasons I got it was because I saw the usual pattern of 1,2,3.... Randomizing would eliminate this pattern so you would need to look at each specific character individually to get it.
