[@mariowizard1198]

7:52 for the puzzles shown, they’re not impossible, you just need a little math The first one is an input output table, with a pattern not shown, so we need to find a pattern. 3 and 2 make 7, 5 and 4 make 23, and 7 and 6 make 47. The two numbers are multiplied then a hidden fourth number is added to get the product, being a constantly increasing positive odd integer. So 3x2+1=7, 5x4+3, 7x6+5=47, which would make 10x9+9=99. OR the pattern could be that the hidden variable added is one integer down from the previous two numbers, which would be instead, 10x9+8=98. The pattern could go either way, there are multiple solutions depending on how you solve For the second one, the balls are stacked in a pyramid, which means that there are balls obscured from sight, but since they are stacked in increasing square layers, we can calculate the amount of balls in the pyramid, so 1+4+9+16= 30 balls in the pyramid. For the third, it’s a system of equations, with the various fruits acting as variables. Once we find the value for one fruit, we can easily solve for the rest. Apple=a, Banana=b, Cherry=c. The first equation can give us the value for a, a+a+a=18, which makes 3a=18, divide and you get a=6. Now that we have the value for one variable, we can find the others, 6+b+b=14, subtract to get b+b=8, which makes 2b=8, then divide to get b=4. Now for the third equation 4-c=2, add to get 4=2+c, then subtract to isolate the variable to get 2=c. Then for the solution, it’s 2+6+4=12. Though I still do agree that adjusting a mirror one degree at a time is painful and tedious.

[@carlwheezerofsouls3273]

They’re not impossible but the explanation is unfortunately an entire paragraph long

[@vladimirmaslivetc5244]

I think for the first puzzle it is first number squared minus 2 (ignoring 2nd number), so I say 98

[@nicholasleclerc1583]

7:52 In less an 30 seconds, I can safely guarantee that the answer is 119 ! Because 23-7 is 16; 47-23 is 24, which is 16+8; and 79-47 is 32, which is 16+8*2; therefore the next number is 79+16+8*3=119 The 2 columns on the left are distractions, they merely show is at best that the answers are correctly ordered right next to each other in a set/series (Whatever the exact mathematical word is)... Unless (And I realized it instantaneously, all that’s going to follow, literally *as I wrote the previous line* ) you see them like so : [Left number]*[Right number]+{The 1st positive odd number for the 1st row; The 2nd positive odd number for the 2nd row; etc...}, therefore : 10*9+9= *99* ... ... ... Ironically enough, that means that whoever thought of only one of either of those two logical thought processes to make this puzzle wasn’t as smart as the genius that they were expecting to find; and not only, but they didn’t understand them at all, while thinking that they did...

Puzzles shown on screen for a second solved: 1st one: multiply the two numbers, then add the first number and subtract 2 from the result. ? = 98. 2nd one: to maintain its shape, there must logically be more balls that are hidden due to the camera angle. Create a mental image and count. 30. 3rd one: simply change the fruits for the values x, y, and z, respectively. 3x = 18 x + 2y = 14 y - z = 2 z + x + y = ? x = 6 y = 4 z = 2 ? =12
