He's definitely right about them sticking with you. I watched this video years ago and forgot I saw it until 5 minutes in. I had already figured out all 3, and thought they weren't that hard. Then I remembered, I'd seen it already. I already knew the answers! Even subconsciously, these puzzles stuck with me!

The third challenge is nice because it can be adjusted on the fly. If they're having trouble figuring it out, you can talk about how three of the four classical elements are in there, and that you're going to add fourth one, fire. While you add it to the beginning, you say that everything revolves around fire and you can circle it or cross it out like dead or something. And bam, the puzzle becomes easier without really giving anything away.

@danaphanous 8 жыл бұрын

+sugarkitty2008 not to mention the analogy doesn't hold. Venus = Beauty (Venus was God of Beauty and Love) Earth = Home (duh) Mars = War (God of War) Neptune = Ocean (perfect) Mercury = Speed? (He was the messenger of the Gods and known for being fast I guess, but he was the God of travel and thieves. "messenger" would have been better to hold the analogy) Jupiter = King (Zeus is God of sky and thunder, also known for being Head of Gods, however his literal assignment is God of sky which conflicts with "Uranus") Saturn = Feast? (He was the Father of most of the Gods, sun of Gaia and Uranus yes there was a feast called Saturnalia but he was not the God of feasts, "Father" would have been a better analogy) Uranus = Sky (This is ok, he was known as the God who personified the sky as in he literally was the sky. The sky "uranus" and the Earth "Gaia" met and had baby Gods and the Titans, a better analogy might have been "Space" so as not to confuse him with Jupiter as he represented everything "not" earth aka "space") Pluto = Death Crossed Out. Clever and fine. The fact that 4 of them are not the same kind of analogy really messes this up though. I probably never would have seen it due to the Saturn and Mercury problem.

@DaejinTye 8 жыл бұрын

The 1st one I got accidentally... Not so much because I figured it out, but because I figured it was gonna be correct as is. (My thought process was completely off the mark, though the answer was correct.) The 2nd one I got immediately, but I hate those kinds of puzzles, so I tried to come up with another word... I failed to do that. The 3rd one is my problem... You lied twice during it, while giving useless information as to what the goal is. You said the words "aren't related to one another" and "they aren't in a sequence." Both of those are false. They all relate to gods and planets and in a specific order, or sequence. Now, the way my mind works, I am fairly poor at understanding instructions when it comes to puzzles like the 3rd one, so I am willing to bet its me that's mistaken but... The way you explained it, on top of the 2 false hints... It was presented so poorly that I feel like the fault was on you for that puzzle and it's difficulty, rather than the puzzle being clever in general. (I won't count the whole "Pluto not a planet" thing, even though crossing out the word "Dead" was another false clue.)

@booyah2217 8 жыл бұрын

Yeah true. I agree with you.

@active77 8 жыл бұрын

I got the 3rd one right but not the way it was supposed to be solved like I was way off but correct at the same time lol I thought "dead" was crossed off because it was the only word with two of the same letter in it "dd" lol

@TeamPaul17 8 жыл бұрын

I agree to a point with you (sorry for the late response). The presentation was definitely, but not necessarily deliberately, misleading. I think what he meant by saying that the words were not in a sequence was that after DEAD (and now OCEAN), the series terminates, unlike the calculator sequence, which can go on forever (which he makes note of in the video). As for crossing out DEAD, it actually is a genuine clue, as Pluto is not considered a full planet any longer. He added to that clue by saying that when he was shown the puzzle, DEAD was not crossed out --indicating that something had changed (Pluto's planetary designation) from then to now, so it was definitely not a false clue. As for the words not being related, I agree that it wasn't presented well. I'm guessing that he was saying that it didn't require knowing anything about one word to guess the others, although it was still a clumsy was to state it.

@DaejinTye 8 жыл бұрын

TeamPaul17 Yeah, I never do well with explanations as it is... As I usually don't understand the puzzles until I try to solve them on my own anyway... Either way though, it was interesting... Even how he screwed up the 1st one.

I had some trouble with the first one because I noticed a difference between what he wrote on the paper and the superimposed box (he wrote the "reversed five" in the "reversed two" place, and the "reversed two" in the "reversed five" place), and that made me think that the trick would work both ways, leading me down the garden path. Once I focused on the "official", printed version, it suddenly became clear.

The only other person I've seen solve it quickly was my wife. I had no idea for the first one. For the last puzzle, "Dead" is the only word listed where the same letter repeats in the word, so it's crossed out. That fits, so I'll give myself that one, even though there's a different answer.

I big urged the first one out! It reminded of of one of the levels in the game 100 Floors so it was easy for me to catch. The LED lights that are showing are actually the lights that are 'off'. So is you look at a digit clock, when it restarts, it looks like an '8' without any LED lights on. Up on the vid, at 4:14 - If you turn the LED lights that were on to off and turn the LED lights that were off to on, it creates the numbers of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and the missing number is 8!

I noticed that in the one with the nine words you can also say that dead is crossed out because dead is the only word with two letters in it that are the same.

@kenhaley4 8 жыл бұрын

Alternate solution to sequence of words: The last word, the one crossed out, is the only word where one of the letters is repeated. So the rule is: a word belongs in the list if it has no repeated letters. At 5:15 Brian says this one is not a "sequence". Surely, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars... definitely IS a familiar sequence, so I think he owes me a beer on this one, (a) for finding an alternate solution and (b) for derailing my thinking with his false hint.
