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]

Move away to the moon LMAOOO

[@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.

[@Pineapply_Queen]

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

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.)

[@alexisraelyan9640]

1:56 In the vid , have not watched the soultion . After some math I conclude that numbers *1 , 4 , 9 , 16 , 25 , 36 , 49 , 64 , 81 , 100* will remain open. The way I found out was I tried the sequence first with 6 lockers - with 6 moves . This left me with 2 numbers open - *1 and 4* . 2 numbers is not enough to figure out a sequence so I tried with 20 lockers this time . It’s a pain to do it before #11 move (before half) after that you simply move out all the numbers from *11-20* as they don’t have their doubles in the list (22 , 33 and 40 , 60) . So I ended up with lockers *1 , 4 , 9 , 16* open. After some time I figured out no other sequence than adding every next odd number to the prev one ( 1 + 3 = 4 , 4+5 = 9 , 9+7 = 16 , 16 + 9 = 25 .... until 100 ) Have no Idea if my solution is correct , will now watch the vid to find out , and will not delete this commenteven if I am wrong xD

Umm, you still got all the money so why wouldn't they still bother you?

[@Artaneius]

Doesn't matter. You don't deserve all that money to yourself anyways.

[@Artaneius]

Isabel Daniel No it doesn't. Because in the real world if you have a lot of money your going to get harassed for it. Doesn't matter if you got it fair and square. Your family is still going to harass you for it. And the family could prove in this case that the whole riddle was made up just for her to get it. Thus making the will void and unfair. Then comes the power of attorney and other stuff. None of this scenario at all makes any sense and honestly the poor girl would just end up getting shot or something.

[@noex100]

Artaneius, you have no idea what you're talking about.

[@otaviowada7300]

Because they will see that you solved it, and didn't recieve it right away, making them feel stupid, and they can't bother you without sounding even more stupid.

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.

[@otherwords1375]

This is a very satisfying solution if you get to it on your own! The problem-solving lesson here is that sometimes it's better to consider how a single (arbitrary) element is transformed at the *end* of a series of transformations -- and then extrapolate how different classes of elements are ultimately transformed, so as to piece together the final state case-wise -- than to chart *each* transformation in sequence. The discrete unit of the problem becomes the nth image, rather than the kth function in n compositions. This is pretty neat; a moment of insight saves you hundreds in meticulous calculation. A powerful and creative strategy to bring to any problem that involves many operators over large data sets :)

[@markimbing8018]

Step 1: Confirm you have green eyes Step 2: Ask the 99 relatives to leave

[@aniqa4398]

Riddle is flawed cause he said in the beginning that her uncle won't give her the assets because "he knows your relatives will pester you forever" and yet the alternative solution (being the riddle) doesn't make much of a difference because she still ends up with the assets and her relatives will still pester her forever in the end. But otherwise, good video.

[@Max1996YT]

The reply is late, but other commenters pointed out how, with this method, it actually seems like she "proved" to be worthy of the money via solving the riddle.

[@pischtato6835]

[@kyleauthinus7517]

@Max1996 And you think that they will care? I am curious on why you think they will still not pester her even if she wins as people like them, dont care if you got it due to your skills, they will do everything to earn quick money, even if "accidents" has to happen.

I get that it's just part of the setup for the riddle and inconsequential, but if the uncle doesn't just give you the fortune for fear of the others pestering you, wouldn't having you solve it and getting the entire inheritance still lead to the other relatives pestering you? Still a fun riddle, though!

[@HelixAgony]

[@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?
