Can you solve the cuddly duddly fuddly wuddly riddle? - Dan Finkel

You’ve promised to get your son the cutest creature in creation: the cuddly. Can you outsmart the cuddly incubator and go home a hero?
--
You’ve promised to get your son the cutest creature in creation: the cuddly. It’s part of the Wuddly species, cousin to the terrifying duddly and the hideous fuddly. To make one, 100 eggs are placed in an incubator to undergo egg fusion, and the resulting combination will produce either a cuddly, a duddly or a fuddly. Can you make the right combination to get a cuddly? Dan Finkel shows how.

I just took the total numbers from each pile and started to subtract eggs from the piles following the rules, until I ended up with two red eggs. Since the color of the egg changes based on which one was not used in the fusion, I used one red and one blue to get purple, then used the red and purple to get a blue. I have to admit, the way the video did it was much simpler, and a lot more intuitive.

[@megangrant4124]

I want all three of them, a Cuddly named Ray, a Duddly named Yoyo, and a Fuddly named Deedee. I just imagine them as bird like creatures that look different when they aged, so imagine if once they grow up the Cuddly looks worst and the Fuddly looks cuter. I like biology so this would make sense in the wild. Cuddlies look the cutest as a babies because of their bright colors, but this would signal they they are poisonous to wild animals, so they would not be eaten, therefore they lose their bright coloring as they aged to more easily blend in with their surroundings. Duddlies look like rats so I assume they also act like rats, but they also would look intimidating to anything trying to eat it plus a fowl smell. And when they grow up they would be like stealth hunters. Fuddlies have an appearance that makes them look a bit sick. If they look sick then animals wouldn’t eat them in fear of dying from them, and I also assume that they would produce a fowl smell that would denture any creature looking for a snack. And so as they age they would grow to more better fit their surroundings; losing the smell, gaining a better appearance to camouflage, and in my mind would probably look like a mix between a do-do and a leopard. Sorry for this long explanation, I just like mystical creatures and animals in general.

You don't need the parity thing but it makes it a lot simpler

[@TIBYCOLLINS]

Yeah lol this isn't a riddle its legit a math problem

[@simonebariosco3017]

I paired the red and purple until the purple got to the same number of blue eggs (38-28-28). I did it first because it won't change the result and it's a bit simpler. I tried to keep things simple so I chose to not add a red egg. After adding a blue or purple egg I combined eggs until the red ones became the same number of the highest of the other piles. (For example, if I add a purple egg, the egg count is 38-29-28. Got all the way down to 29-28-29) Another fusion and in the example I get 28-29-28. The egg I chose is the one with the highest pile if it was purple or blue. Now the randomness comes in, but hey, i noticed that in 3 passages the number of all piles goes down by one, no matter the order. (For example the red gets chosen, we go from 28-29-28 to 27-28-29. Continuing the fusion we got 28-27-28. Then 27-28-27. Same applies if the blue comes out) We repeat this process 27 times and we get the egg we put in IF it's purple or blue. But the blue is the one we need, so we add a blue egg.

Why did I IMMEDIATELY think *”Put the blue one”* cause that’s the one we want😂

[@Boonehams]

I've seen dozens of these, have been wrong on all of them, but this was the first one that I got. Not only that, I figured it out without pausing. I guess my brain is good with these types of puzzles, and nothing else.

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

I like how you fully acknowledge the fact the majority of us would want a Fuddly by explicitly making it a gift for someone.

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

The majority? I don't think so. I think almost anyone who says they'd want the fuddly is lying and just trying to be contrarian. If you genuinely want one of those things in your bed with you at night, you're a freak.

[@-nightlyfireflies-9561]

Yeah, fuddly is actually the best of the 3 tbh

Fun fact: a cool easter egg in the animation is that at the start, the birthday circled on the calendar is March 14, also known as pi day since its date is written as 3/14 and pi starts with 3.14

[@thecluckster3908]

most people would pick the blue egg anyway because “That’s the egg I want”

[@anthonycannet1305]

I didn’t realize the parity option, I went through the series until I got to a point where a random choice would be made if it ran with those 99 and my choice would make a difference. In the case of adding blue it would come across a series of random outcomes that always cycled back to X+1 blue X red and X purple every three iterations while adding purple did the same but with purple being X+1 and adding red had a 50/50 split between the blue and purple outcomes. Therefore I concluded that adding a blue would lead it down the +1 blue path and the randomness didn’t make a difference

[@nil-8026]

Can you explain further? I’m not sure if I got jumbled up along the way, but I end up with the same pattern by both adding a purple or a blue egg: 29 Red 29 Purple 28 Blue, at which point both should get random results

[@anthonycannet1305]

@@nil-8026 We start with 43R 33P and 23B with 3 options Option 1: start with Red That makes 44R 33P 23B -> 43R 32P 24B -> 42R 31P 25B -> 41R 30P 26B -> 40R 29P 27B -> 39R 28P 28B. Now its random 50/50 blue or purple so lets pause here and see option 2. Option 2: start with Purple That makes 43R 34P 23B -> 42R 33P 24B -> 41R 32P 25B -> 40R 31P 26B -> 39R 30P 27B -> 38R 29P 28B -> 37R 28P 29B -> 36R 29P 28B. now we get to the loop where red always decreases while blue and purple alternate. Lets see option 3 before going further. Option 3: start with Blue That makes 43R 33P 24B -> 42R 32P 25B -> 41R 31P 26B -> 40R 30P 27B -> 39R 29P 28B -> 38R 28P 29B. Again an alternating loop where red decreases while purple and blue alternate. Lets go back to option 2 and see how that plays out: 36R 29P 28B -> 37R 28P 29B -> 36R 29P 28B -> 35R 28P 29B -> 34R 29P 28B -> 33R 28P 29B -> 32R 29P 28B -> 31R 28P 29B -> 30R 29P 28B -> 29R 28P 29B -> 28R 29P 28B. This one, like option 1, becomes random, so we will pause this option again to progress option 3. Option 3 continued: 38R 28P 29B -> 37R 29P 28B -> 36R 28P 29B -> 35R 29P 28B -> 34R 28P 29B -> 33R 29P 28B -> 32R 28P 29B -> 31R 29P 28B -> 30R 28P 29B -> 29R 29P 28B -> 28R 28P 29B. A third random outcome, however this time we have XR XP X+1B. Lets recap the three options: 1) X+11R XP XB 2) XR X+1P XB 3) XR XP X+1B Where X is the lowest total in each outcome Without following all the convoluted possible outcomes we can see that in each option, one specific color has a higher total than the others and option three appears to have the total we want: X+1B, so lets try to see where that one goes. 28R 28P 29B -> 27R 29P 28B / 29R 27P 28B -> 28R 28P 27B / 28R 28P 27B . notice that regardless of the random path we end up at 28R 28P 27B after 2 steps, the third step gets us to 27R 27P 28B. this is in the XR XP X+1B form just like before only this time X is reduced by 1. This means that after 3 steps we get the same balance of totals but closer to X=0. if we repeat that 3 step cycle another 27 times we reach the 0R 0P 1B outcome we wanted, therefore Option 3: start with Blue is the correct choice despite reandomness and we dont have to continue with testing the other two options. The confusion you got with options 2 and 3 is likely an error in matching up the proper pairs, They both develop into similar forms with X+1/X/X but the difference is in which color gets the X+1 total. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the other 2 options: option 2 has a similar form to option 3 and will end up with 0R 1P 0B. Option 1 is a little more complicated but i suspect it will end with 1R 0P 0B... Lets confirm that: We left off with 39R 28P 28B -> 38R 27P 29B / 38R 29P 27B -> 37R 28P 28B / 37R 28P 28B. after 2 steps we went from X+11R XP XB (X=28) to X+9R XP XB (X=28). Every 2 steps P and B will always return to 28 regardless of random outcomes and R will be reduced by 2. If we continue for another 8 steps we get X+1R XP XB, another X+1/X/X form so we can deduce that the outcome of option 1 will always be 1R 0P 0B.
