Achievement Hunter Shenanigans: Gavin And The Third Wednesday

[@Tantalus010]

I love how Ryan and Michael kept taking turns shifting between messing with his head and genuinely helping him so as to keep him off balance. Priceless.

[@johnryan6019]

"Why is that teacher a fish?" is an underappreciated joke

[@chikennabugwu2296]

John Ryan I’m two years late and still don’t get it

[@xXFuzzeeXx]

On this episode of Shenanigans: Gavin flunks out, Geoff shits himself and Michael screams like a psycho.

[@lainiesmith9819]

ray kills a child

[@sugabby964]

just another day

[@django3422]

This is one of those moments where I truly wish we could have behind-the-scenes cam to see Geoff dying of laughter. But I feel for Gavin, I would get confused as hell by this.

[@ColorfulSyke]

That was the greatest moment of that Let's Play. He was so close to getting the right answer. I was laughing so hard, I was dying

[@superburgerman1982]

Shame you didn't... *Pew Pew*

[@ColorfulSyke]

Shots fired....

[@BabyNinjaLol]

First Pubert Then Wednesday Somehow were gonna add pugsley

[@SorakuFett]

***** Maiden name, not last name. Her name is now Lindsey Tuggey Jones.

[@sgoldie]

How did this not get animated

[@chriss.9398]

I got super confused by the May 3rd part of the question until I realized it had no relevance at all. It is mathematically impossible for any 3rd Wednesday to be the 7th, 14th, or the 28th. lol

[@RedJLP]

The point of it there is that it assumes you aren't playing multiple choice, 100% like the show

[@Oly1y]

Chris S. it throws you off from paying attention to when it could be.

[@ethanb7657]

It is relevant if it said May 4th, then none of these answers are right. It’s not confusing, just keep adding 7 days to May 3rd so May 31st is a Wednesday, June 7th is the first Wednesday of June, and you get June 21st as the answer

[@TechnicSky]

zz tarry whaaaaaaat?

[@ethanb7657]

DJ Flame hi Gavin

[@DivineSpiritxXxX]

To be fair when i first saw this let's play, i was just as confused as gavin but i knew it couldn't be the 7th or 14th

[@pforgottonsoul]

i think the may 3rd part was there to confuse people, it's probably the part that really threw gavin off

[@ethanb7657]

I don’t see how it throws you off. 7 days a week, so May 10th is a Wednesday. So is the 17th, 24th, 31st, and guess what? June comes after May! So June 1st is a Thursday, June 7th is the first Wednesday, 14th the second, and 21st is the third Wednesday

[@soldseperately]

zz tarry even without the May 3rd part, it basically asks, based on the answers available, which day will Wednesday fall on if it was the third Wednesday of June. It’s impossible for it to be any answer but the 21st

[@ethanb7657]

soldseperately but if the May 3rd condition becomes May 4th, then June 21st isn’t correct either since June 22nd would be the Wednesday and no answers are correct. June 21st is the only possible answer, but May 3rd being a Wednesday is a necessary condition for it to be correct.

[@soldseperately]

zz tarry it’s a multiple choice question though. If you look at the answers provided, then you only have one logical answer. If the question stated May 4th, then the answers would have to change along with it. Otherwise the whole thing is obsolete. With the answers provided in the clip.

[@andrewrst6970]

If this video isnt an example of overthinking, i dont know what is

[@noeladams4771]

Michael's laugh sounded more hilarious than Geoff's laugh in this clip

[@RedJLP]

I'm pretty sure that's Geoff's way of making sure he doesn't shit, pass out or throw up all at once

[@aerokill195]

Technically Gavin had the right answer but Ryan made him second guess himself.

[@gatte4321]

aerokill195 Are you actually defending him?

[@TechnicSky]

Atte Girs it’s true, Gavin was going for the right answer, even if it was luck, but Ryan and Michael threw him off by confusing him

[@soldseperately]

DJ Flame there shouldn’t have been any confusion at all. 3rd Wednesday, 7 days a week. That’s 21. It’s a multiplication problem in disguise

[@TechnicSky]

soldseperately ohhhhhhh, Sorry it’s just the way someone explained it and the way he problem itself is a bit confusing cause it takes time but the way someone explained it was that the problem was a trick question to catch the player in case they were like cheating off someone or just picking random answers or something

[@jasondoe6286]

Someone please turn this into an animation...god please

[@e_eyster]

This is just a brilliantly evil question because the "May 3rd" is both entirely necessary to actually create an answer that has a date attached to it, but at the same time entirely irrelevant to solving the question. You could just as easily have led with "If February 19th is a Monday" or "If November 30th is a Saturday" and the answer is just as simple to get to.

[@morcova]

(Gavin noises) I loved that.

[@AVikingIII]

1:40. Geoff noises

[@mGHavoc]

This needs to be a RTAA XD

[@johnnyrats7083]

Why, is this not good enough

[@killfrow]

When you're watching in 2017 and may 3rd falls on a Wednesday.

[@TransistorBased]

I thought about it for a while and came up with my answer, then I looked at the answers on the board and realized I had wasted my time

[@aj_killjoy]

This is 50 times funnier when you factor in the fact that all of the incorrect options were physically impossible

[@Oly1y]

the 3rd of any day would have to fall between the 15th and 21st

[@911shan]

Oly1y Yeah, the obvious answer was 21st. But with May 3rd in there. It would have been advisable to count the weeks and make sure that the 3rd Wednesday in June, definitely ends up on the 21st.

[@Oly1y]

shan_rocks may the 3rd was added to make people miss the obvious, that being the third Wednesday had to fall between the 15th and 21st

[@911shan]

Yeah I agree lol but to be honest, I don't think Gavin is such an idiot. With the amount of talking and throwing off the rest were doing in the background, I think I would've gotten it wrong first try as well lol

[@soldseperately]

shan_rocks they threw him off because he’s so gullible. Instead of trusting what he figured out initially, he let the others influence his thoughts.

[@sh0g0kawada]

May 3 was listed to narrow down which of those days it'd be.

[@realluckoftheirish]

And here we are, in a year where May 3rd falls on a Wednesday.

[@ariana_desimone]

Geoff’s like “i thought i had to shit” 😂 “why did u think u had to shit” “Idk i had a giggle inside” 😂😂😂

[@jenniw9999]

IT TOOK THREE YEARS BUT AFTER FINALLY REWATCHING THIS VIDEO I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. I AM AN IDIOT.

[@jpagss]

This moment just never gets old in my opinion. Another reason why Trivia Tuesday was one of the best things they've done.

[@BillyBobby123]

Geoff laughing made me laugh more

[@ToxicCookiesHD]

This is even funnier considering May 3 is on a Wednesday in 2017

[@ariana_desimone]

I just love jacks laugh. Michael says pick the 14th then starts yelling at him for picking it😂😂😂jack almost passed out.

[@Cazammaf]

These little moments are all I have to remind me of my teen-hood. I love coming back to rewatch AH in it's prime.

[@THEKOOLDALE]

These actual dates happened this year

[@ladiesgentswegothim]

Should've started out with Gavin's comment about this show being "for mong children".

[@revengehunter0184]

it can only be one. 7th is the first Wednesday, 14th is the second, and 28th is the fourth

[@pb-ve8cd]

2017 - This scenario became a reality!!!! May 3rd fell on a Wednesday and June 21st was the third Wednesday of the next month!!!!!!

[@Railer61]

This was at 8:35 in the morning? That had to be a day that a lot of shit was given that day towards Gavin XD

[@kagenotatsumaki]

LMAO! OMG! The subtitles make this so much better!

[@dsgaming731]

Gavin: "Bollocking Bitch!!!" I died right there. 😝😝😝

[@codenamexeno6595]

Geoff's laugh could cure cancer

[@MysticWolfMagic]

I'm with Gavin on this. These kinds of questions confuse the hell out of me.

[@ArgentHunter]

What was the answer anyway? I can't stop laughing to figure it out 🤣

[@garybrown2039]

June 21, there are a specified three weeks and the smallest number that can be divided by 21 days is literally the 21rst day of June.

[@ArgentHunter]

@@garybrown2039 Thank you

[@ona512]

Guys this year is the year May 3rd falls on a wednesday. You can use this year's calendar as a reference

[@Patchnote2.0]

The neat part is that this year the third Wednesday of June will land on the 21st.

[@velvetsrose]

Oddly enough, the 3rd of May DOES fall on a Wednesday this year. (2017)

[@s3rlrules]

it hurts no matter how many time i watch this scene

[@DJDownes100]

im team gavin this question is so confusing

[@irman925]

I think at 2:02 the (more Gavin noises) is actually Geoff screaming

[@riddypr]

+irman925 No, it's definitely Gavin noises. Geoff was laughing during those noises.

[@bobbythomas8831]

i think the laughing at that exact time is michael

[@bobbythomas8831]

but geoff's laugh i suppose can sound similar to gavin's shitstorm panic "squeel/laugh" lol

[@A7xTheRev98]

This was a meltdown of seismic proportion

[@stardustandstories]

And this my friends, is how I discovered Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth

[@scj6693]

happy june 21

[@00LucasAshBrainz00]

Even without the may bit its anywhere between june 15 and june 22. Only one answer is eligible

[@Gingerbitten]

oh my god when these guys get together

[@Sirinoks8]

Those Geoff noises :D

[@rockrick9673]

the guy who does this is awesome.

[@MrHaydnSir]

i laughed so fucking hard my nose is bleeding... 🤣🤧

[@stingingcashew2321]

This was how 'gaslighting' became a thing

[@Kennilarsen1]

It's fucking hilarious but I feel bad for Gavin because he chose the right answer in the first place haha

[@Isaygoodday5]

*when people say that Gavin is actually really smart*

[@completeownage379]

Funnily enough the 2017 calendar has May 3rd on a Wednesday with the third Wednesday of June being 21st.

[@bradonhadley9602]

Whats worse about this is I worked it out the hard way by using May 3rd realised how much easier it was and felt like an idiot all in time slot it took Gavin to pick an answer

[@justin2308]

The blame for this example of stupidity goes solely to the others. Gavin's not alone, the peer pressure would be just too much.

[@ShadeKoar]

guys, GUYS may 3 was a Wednesday.....

[@pyko234]

i love these... they're the best parts of the videos its awesome

[@Gregolian]

(Geoff noises) was seriously the best.

[@skylarkcampbell1820]

3rd of June is my birthday. Made me laugh my ass off, thank you.

[@captainbirch9835]

OK. Let me math this out If may the third is a Wednesday, and may has 31 days, then 3+7 =10, +7=17,+7=24,+7=31, then may 31rst +7 is June 7,+7=14+7=21. The correct answer is June 21

[@cerjmedia]

"31rst" lol

[@kes6628]

I'm gonna be honest.. I've seen this question like 7 times... This was the first time I got it

[@LiftedStarfish]

THEY'RE ALL MULTIPLES OF SEVEN

[@heroicharoon170]

the 3rd of may falls on Wednesday in 2017 and the 3rd Wednesday in June is 21st

[@irman925]

I think in the moment Gavin thought May came after June

[@joeytaylor1021]

irman925 it wouldn’t make sense because if the 28th was a Wednesday then the 3rd Of May would be a Monday

[@The2econd3vil3xes]

I'll be honest, I was just as confused as Gavin was. Why WAS it banging on about May when the question was about June?

[@elliotplaysgames_]

Paul B It's a red herring, basically. If the question simply asked what date the third wednesday of June would fall on, the question would be too easy, you simply recite your 7 times tables to 3 (7 x 3 = 21), and pick June 21st. When they throw the May date in there, your brain will automatically try and associate that date with the actual question, and, when you're under pressure like Gavin was, it can easily cause you to mess up.

[@ethanb7657]

The May part is for clearance so you know what day, say, June 1st will be when calculating. Without it, you can still know the range of the answer, but not certain what day is it if the answers were 20,21,22 for example

[@irman925]

+Lemon Pledge Gamer That's assuming June 1st is a Wednesday

[@josephrainer]

+irman925 It is. That's exactly why there is the "May 3rd was in a wednesday" thing there. Even if you don't go the simple path and go three weeks (3x7), if May 3rd is wednesday, you can go week by week - may 3rd is wed, then next wed is may 10th, then next wed is may 17th, and so forth, and it lands exactly on wednesday June 21st.

[@allegedlymichael8934]

May was in the question to throw you off

[@bloodonyx9534]

I can't breathe this was fucking great. XD

[@Zetheseus]

i paused it and guess it's 21

[@Aurora-kt1co]

The worst part is that I couldn't figure out the problem

[@joshbrown5037]

I totally forgot about this

[@HaloNewbie014]

As I watch this I realize that today is June 21st and it's Wednesday XD

[@mantharoxursox]

Psst this scenario is happening this year. Just saying

[@alyssa-eu5fs]

i love this so much omfg

[@TheKoiFish]

Haha Geoff losing his shit is amazing!

[@libertybelle3897]

I honestly would have a hard fucking time getting that question

[@murcielago7247]

It gonna make look like a fool but I don think I would've figured out the answer in a month

[@Celestial_Wing]

Gavin in not smarter than 5th Grader

[@NightGraveHunting]

To be fair hes not smarter than a kindergartner

[@thevoidlookspretty7079]

This just gets more obvious each time I watch it.

[@BillyBobby123]

We're getting older 💀💀

[@MardonNaLou]

Well that was an SAT of a question if I’ve ever heard one. So I’m going to guess that Gavin didn’t do so well with standardized testing. That is not a knock on Gavin by the way. Standardized testing sucks.

[@scj6693]

the question can literally only be june 21, it’s the third wednesday in the month. it’s really not that difficult of a question

[@MardonNaLou]

@@scj6693 I realize that. I'm referring to the extra information that is ultimately useless. A common practice in SAT and most standardize testing back in the day and still goes on to a degree.

[@mackenziejerls7646]

whos watchin this on the third wednesday of june

[@syddatkid]

May third is on a wednesday this year!!!

[@SyberiaWinx]

Is that the third Wednesday of the month?D :

[@Anderslaw]

They're calling him an idiot but to be fair he knew the answer but they tricked him.

[@manuelsilva9899]

He absolutely did not know the answer he wouldn't have struggled like that if he knew so you're one of those fans that think Gavin is an absolute genius but masquerades as an idiot for some reason

[@derpaderpy4931]

They were rushing him, telling him to pick an answer so he picked the wrong answer and they started mocking him.

[@MrSupersayian4goku]

Daniel Sharples He took way too long on that question.

[@derpaderpy4931]

GI Joe PSA Not all of us English people are good with math! D:

[@MrSupersayian4goku]

Daniel Sharples It's more along the lines of common sense.

[@Zeffers716]

May 3rd was a Wednesday this year 😂😂

[@Sylraxi]

i love these :D Subbed

[@ariana_desimone]

I figured this out in less than 10 seconds😂😂😂😂😂

[@AVikingIII]

This is great

[@rcchalykoff9866]

What is worse about this is Gavin had the right answer but ryan lead him astray from the by saying oh god Gavin which really shows that Gavin is not dumb just easily manipulated by others in the office with only a few words

[@cherrychocolate1434]

SO THE THIRD WEDNESDAY!!

[@joeytaylor1021]

Cherry Chocolate so the third of June?

[@AlisonBlack1359]

when this applies to 2017.........

[@MuchDRACO]

the answer's june 21st right?

[@CookieCrumbzz25]

yes

[@joesimpson9998]

Daryll W no it's actually the 28 they all did their math wrong it is actually the 21st though I was just fucking with you

[@joeytaylor1021]

Daryll W May 3 Wed 10 17 24 31 31 days in May June 1-7 June 14 (my great grandmas birthday) June 21 (3rd Wed) 7 days between Wed and Wed

[@TheLandBased]

May 3rd falls on a Wednesday this year.

[@GIRru11]

Not gonna lie, I'm with Gavin on this question. The mention about 3rd of May kinda threw me off

[@pforgottonsoul]

thats the whole point though, it makes you actually think. Too many people read a question without thinking about what is actually being said.

[@imbatman.2695]

i'm fucking crying holy shit

[@Megan11..]

Tomorrow is the 3rd Wednesday of June, June 21.

[@seto635]

I'm sorry, he can narrow it down to 2? is Jack suggesting that June 28th can be the third Wednesday of any month? fucking how!?

[@ajreukgjdi94]

Has anyone noticed that May 3rd is a Wednesday this year?

[@puggyjman1073]

And I thought I was stupid

Thank you
