Can you solve the locker riddle? - Lisa Winer

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-sol...
Your rich, eccentric uncle just passed away, and you and your 99 nasty relatives have been invited to the reading of his will. He wanted to leave all of his money to you, but he knew that if he did, your relatives would pester you forever. Can you solve the riddle he left for you and get the inheritance? Lisa Winer shows how.

[@gabesmith5602]

I thought the whole point in the uncle Developing the riddle is to prevent family members from badgering you. Now not only will they badger you, they’ll hate you for being smarter than them

[@meepleech]

[@utterqueernightmare]

I thought they'd pester because him leaving it all to you wasn't fair (at least to them). But if you earned it by figuring out the riddle, they'd just have to shut up and deal with it.

[@treehugger0241]

I figured this helped by giving them less of a legal leg to stand on. If you straight up leave someone out of the will, they can contest that they were forgotten about. This gives everyone an even shot at the prize and the niece has a lot more legal protection after having solved it fair and square. I've heard people recommend that, if there's someone in your circle you want to leave out of your will but you know would kick up a fuss, just leave them something pitiful like $1. It serves the same purpose of removing that "I was forgotten" argument.

[@alexchandler4213]

Wait I just realized, what if the uncle wanted you to have the money, why didn’t he tell you that the answers were perfect squares. You can just pretend you found the answer on your own

My roundabout way of doing it was trying the first ten squares for the first ten numbers, realizing the pattern was 1 was on, then two spaces, then the next one was on, then four spaces, then the next one was on (so I figured it'd be just 2 bigger each time). This ended up being right, but also slower than simply recognizing perfect squares.

Every riddle is something like a math problem

[@aname5053]

An algorithm, simply put, is “x + y”. You can expand that with “+”, “*”, “/“, & “-“ and any variable. That is a riddle. To help you, and others, if you disagree with me still... you are more than likely overthinking this. So.. break it down: create “layers” or steps to solving the problem. Instead of seeing, for example, that you have 3 projects and 2 papers do at the end of the semester/school year... You break it down to tasks of each of the projects/papers. You prioritize them... some factors of priority are time and dependency. 1) Time: Meaning some tasks are done over a period of time and can’t be done all at once (e.g. starting at 0 and wanting 100 fortnite wins). 2) Dependency: Meaning some tasks have to happen before others can happen. Or they depend on something to exist before the task itself can exist. (e.g You have to win 1 fortnite game before you can win the second.)

[@agiar2000]

Cool! I am glad that I was able to figure this one out! I have one minor gripe, though. The word sequence t 3:12 says "touched only twice", and in my introduction to logic course in college, they taught us that the word "only" has a very specific meaning in formal logic, distinct from how we use it in common language. Since this is a formal logic problem, I feel it bears mentioning that the first locker is, technically, touched "only" twice. "Only" does not mean that something has happened, only that it is not _exceeded._ So, to exclude the first locker, touched only once, we would want to say something like "touched twice _and only_ twice", but then that's 12 words in the clue, which means we need another 44 - 68 lockers, to change the word in locker 81 to "twice", in 100 to "and", for the word in locker 121 to read "only", and the one in the 144th locker to say "twice."

[@nathanlaird]

You could fix it by changing the phrase to "touched exactly twice" and sentence length would stay the same.

[@agiar2000]

@@nathanlaird I feel like it must say something about the different _KINDS_ of intelligence that I thought that whole logical argument and missed something as simple as what you pointed out. Thanks. :)

[@635atom]

Sorry, but this is a misunderstanding of how the operator "only" is used in logic. Only is used to describe a necessary condition for some consequent. For example, consider the phrase "Open the locker only if it has been touched twice." Logically, this is equivalent to saying "If the locker has been touched twice, then open it." Under these conditions, if the locker had been touched just one time, it would not be opened. Similarly, using "only" in the manner they did in the video means that its including solely lockers that were touched exactly two times. Consider the use of the term only in a non-numerical context. "For fuel, my car takes only gas." There's really no way to consider how that concept might be "exceeded," and you wouldn't put diesel in that car, would you?

[@Katrina_NYC]

EXACTLY. It's like wtf is the point of all of that? If he gave her all of the money or if she "won" all of the money...it wouldn't stop them from pestering her for it!

[@chloestephen3960]

+Katrina M.B But if he gave it all to her then they would Say its unfair. if she won it though, they would say that she earned it.

[@GauravMittal_GM]

Katrina M.B : You guys don't seem to understand the essence of quiz, the story is not relevant only math question is.

[@marekransome4129]

Thank you for a great video! Much appreciated!

[@twiceisl0ve102]

This is real easy! All the numbers will be opened by the very first heir but closed if it's either a prime # or divisible by a pair of number which leaves us to the squares since they only go once (coz it's the same number!) Edit: Oops P.S. there's another riddle in this riddle

[@humamalshawa7538]

You guys need to make more of these riddles. I love them.

[@bunnylife747]

Bunny Life I did one the frog with right reasoning sum how

[@carsonproctor6037]

I like how were so smart we can figure this out in less than 5 seconds.

[@TheRubyGamersTRG]

With these kind of riddles you always have to realize something really specific. I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t realize that specific thing. That’s why I don’t like riddles. But these videos are really fun to watch anyway :)

[@koalafan1455]

That's basically the 39 clues series but really shortened

[@laveragegamer6000]

EXACTLY!!!! Finally someone said it.

[@brialorecampbell8050]

Just with more math

[@peoniequeen]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@in_this_rain]

I came to the comments section just to see if someone else said it :P

[@theanythingguytag3420]

[@Nusaiba-bx8gi]

I don't have brain to answer any riddle but the voice...... Soooo calm and smooth like chocolate

[@user-io2fv3sf7s]

Cold hard fact: Your relatives still pester you

[@jonsnow8034]

I memorize their riddles in the event that one day I end up in one of the scenarios that they describe...

[@rajeshgupta1055]

[@benoitg6933]

+Jon Snow you should try to solve them so that you can solve any riddles thown at you. Like the girl did actually

[@jonsnow8034]

+Ben G Lol I do sometimes I get it other times...

[@alphabulblax1649]

This uncle isn't that smart. He could just give you the fortune and advise you to file 99 restraining orders.

[@lawrencewong6171]

so you wouldnt solve an easy riddle and file 99 restraining orders?

[@alphabulblax1649]

Those relatives would pester you regardless.

[@kyledilbert6424]

+Alpha Bulblax ,a bye some will hire people, to steal your ,money ,because the adjective "nasty"

[@tintinfan007]

actually the uncle only wanted to show off his extraordinary math skills

[@tintinfan007]

+SuperWaffle was this puzzle really easy to u ?

[@qubitoast290]

How? She looks 10 and he did in like 1 minutes. Here I am, a senior, blacking out at this riddle.

[@TheBlueGirl18]

Zaza Codio akskskksks I'm an college freshman and I was like oh I'll jus keep watching the video for the answer lol

[@zazac9447]

lol

[@astroblade3782]

Yup

[@thenolifekid2649]

I’m 11. I waited for him to answer it then, I thought about how it really worked. It’s quite simple after the answer is revealed and the you take time to think about it. I would have never thought of it but it makes sense.

[@benmangubat8005]

I think for hours and was shock when the solution was just like that What an amazing riddle

[@headcanon6408]

TED-Ed predicted the plot of Knives Out

I didn’t need to watch this video to know how low my IQ is

[@ichweinicht1858]

@J *Now

[@theregalproletariat]

I think y'all need a reminder what IQ is. The Intelligence Quotient was created as a way to determine what students needed more help in academia. It's not a measure of anything inherent - and having a low IQ certainly does not mean stupidity.

Honestly I just love how the diamonds are perfectly,green-screened diamonds, 3 supposedly terrible, drawn diamonds.
