So glad there was actually a solution with the implied rules and it wasn't some weird loophole like altering the grid or stacking them all in the same square or some ish

I think I would get there, the first and most important thing you needed to know is that you can't place in the center since it's the spot that have the most 3 in a row possibilities

"This is impossible!" **sees several possible ways to beat it** Edit: why do I see several possibilities for this puzzle...? But yet everyone is saying they can only see one way?

I like how he immediately goes for the middle 😂

"There is no trick you just didn't do it" that's hilarious🤣

A wise man once said to never bet on another man's gamble, and that is usually very true. This was the exception to the rule where no shenanigans were used and there was an actual chance of winning.

Bruh, I literally thought of a salutation in 2 seconds

Actually figured this out in like 5 sec of actually thinking, very fun

He was actually close to having 6 on there without making a row but he somehow missed that opportunity

Me: would just stack it in just one of the squares why? He didn’t say if you could 😂

Simple rule : You have to tie this match 🤷🏻‍♂️ Your mind is your opponent 🤷🏻‍♂️

Me: puts all the coins in the same box...

So proud of myself i did the solution in my head before the game was finished. Even a broken clock is right twice a day

I instantly saw the solution to this one, feeling like a god now

We found the guy behind all of the mobile game ads

That was ez don’t know how he didn’t get in

Me: Just put them all in one spot… Him: *Shows answer* Me: Well shit-

“Impossble innit” 💀

Me : *puts* *all* *them* *on* *the* *same* *square*

I thought you would put all of them in the same square

Ahh. There is a loophole in the rule set… just place them all in a box and call it a day

It says something when I thought “oh you have to put multiple coins in a space

Man defined the laws of physics

My first thought was “can’t you do almost a square around the edges?” I immediately lost that thought train after he started playing.

I will personally say, this is one hell of a brain teasing challenge. Because you see a board like that, your brain thinks "Tic-Tac-Toe" automatically. So while doing this at first, your subconscious says "3 in a row", but when you hear to not get 3 in a row, then it's more challenging to do cuz that's all that you're thinking of. Trick is to get the mind n body to work together

Lmao literally did this brain teaser yesterday and nearly cried when my dad figured it out faster than me 😭

man I would’ve won the easiest $20 of my life

You can go more systematically and think: If you have to place 6 and there are 9, that means there are 3 "holes" or empty boxes All of those 3 empty boxes have to align in a row, because otherwise the coins would fill in a row Now you just have to go though a few possibilities

Only thing I wanna say at this moment is "Unn lu gee"😂😂😂

He sounds so much like Harry Kane 😂😂

Him: do not make three in a row Woody: instinctively puts the coln in the middle

According to these rules you could stack them as long as you didn't stack more than 2 Which was the 1st thing that I thought of

Orrrrr XXO OXX XOX I can't believe I got it and I don't know if it is correct but it was worth it 😋

Fill in two opposite corners. 3 pieces each corner no 3s in a row. Edit: I realize now he put the solution at the end but believe me I paused it at the begging and figured it out myself

I can't even 😂

The 3x3 identity matrix helps a lot here

There’s only 10 unique possible patterns to put the coins, considering all symmetrical patterns as the same. Most people’s minds would employ heuristics, so even if you brute force the solution in your mind starting from the corner of the grid, you would likely to solve this problem quickly. One thing to note is to avoid the middle cell as that is the one that would certainly cause three in a row. So once you take out that possibility, there’s significantly much less possibilities to run through your mind.

I just thought of putting multiple on each box as it's still technically on the grid and there's no rule against it I don't think

I thought u were gonna place them in one place 😂

This is beautiful. We only played and Never thought of this. Nice 🙂.

A quick lesson in perspective. Had he turned the table 45⁰, he would have likely figured it out.

He was so close on his last try, he had to move the last row coin to the centre and put one coin at the top

I finally found it before the video ended for once lol

Bro that’s what I was thinking!!❤

I’m gonna be honest this one has to be one of the easiest I’ve seen him fail

Love it how woody just said no like 5 times like “if I say no, it’s not true” lols

I love this. There was an actual solution.

Old school punters who bet Union Jack trebles will get this straight away haha

The "whaa" near the end that gave him false hope was hilarious.

Alternative ending just put all coins in one slot he never said how many coins had to be in a slot

Unlucky woody 🤣😎👍

Damn bro i tought you could just stack all of them and put them on 1 grid 💀💀

I was just gonna stack the coins on top of each other 😂

I figured that out within the first 15 seconds. It honestly was pretty simple. I will definitely try this one! Lol

if I were woody I would have just ran away with the 6 dollars

Those coins look more valuable than that note, lol

I love how he was gonna get it on his first try and when they realized they cut it and made him restart so the video wasn't ruined.

That was literally the easiest and fastest analysis I’ve ever done, I was finished with it in my head before he could grasp that he literally almost had it. But was over thinking everything, just have to separate the coins at most

I’m glad my years of naughts and crosses different game ideas finally helped

I love how you add to opportunities to place it

I just did this with my 7 year old son and he got it on the first damn try! Lol 🤯

Me figuring it out after 5 seconds : “ I must be a genius. “

My brain: stack em stack em!!!

Me who would just place all of them in one circle

So frustrating watching him struggle. Lol

I think the real reason he failed was cause he thought it was impossible and gave up too easily, not because the puzzle is very hard.

The fact he didn't know that lol

Finally he actually lost a game

My mind immediately jumped to putting all of the coins in one slot lmao

Me watching this: he could've just put all six in one square there were no rules against it and it would've been an easy win

I’m happy that I felt I sense of achievement when I figured it out before he gave up and showed the answer.

If you want to avoid getting 3 in a row, stay out of the middle, always

"iTs VeRy EaSy" when the guy didnt knows ye lmao

Honestly I thought he was just gunna put all 6 in one box xD

What are these types of brain games/puzzles called, I absolutely love them!

Literally took me less than five seconds after he finished saying the rules

Thank you, now I am prepared for the math exam

Man I got this in the first 5 seconds 🤣

He had it in the first two goes. But gave up lol

Perfectly done

I would have just placed them all in one square 😂

I don't even remember seeing woody lose...😯

One way of coming up with the solution is to think about the three blank spots. There needs to be a blank spot in each of the column, row, and diagonal lines. So the only possible way of arranging them is like that.

But. All you need to do is place multiples in one or place based in opposing corners

Dude literally had it on the first try lol

Crazy brother 💔

Man almost had it and just gave up 🤦🏾‍♂️

Uuugh come on woody 😂 So frustating 😫

Could have made a diagonal W and a coin in the corner

Lol, I got this down on TikTok first try lmao

The first time I seen this I actually figured it out in less than 10 seconds

The first run he had could've actually been succesful, all he had left to do is place last coin in the corner and he would do it as well

When you work on Minecraft mods and come up with new crafting recipe shapes, those patterns just stick with you.

Honestly I would’ve just put it on top of the grid 😂

"it's not a trick, you just didn't do it!"

Sounds ambiguous. For me "Without placing three in a row" would also mean placing all pieces in two columns so no row contains three pieces.

I already figured it out right after he said "if you find a way to put this 6 coins without making a 3 in a row"

BRO three on the left three on the right leave the middle row open 🤣

My immediate thought was to put one on the end of each line.

The first time the guy did it, he was literally one coin away from winning
