My Code Can SOLVE Holt's "12 Men" Riddle (Brooklyn99)

I wrote the first-ever computer program that can solve Holt's elusive "12 Men Riddle! Not only did we build a random model to solve it with 56% accuracy, but we also tested the computer's strategy and found it to work in real life as well! Please like and subscribe if you like my builds, and I'll see you next time!

This project was written in Matlab, however, you can use any programming language (such as the free, open-source python) for your own solution!

What other unanswered questions from shows would be fin to explore? Have you ever wondered if it was possible to write other programs for TV shows? Let me know in the comments!

Damn! Idk how you do the things you do. You always make it seem so simple.

I really enjoy logic puzzles like this. I hadn’t considered how to actually use computers to find the algorithm that has the highest likelihood of finding the solution. My favorite puzzle is the “green-eyed dragons” logic puzzle. I also love the Monty Hall problem and Knights and Knaves puzzle (the example of which in Labyrinth was probably what introduced me to the concept).

Ohh yes the Monty Hall problem is a really good one - I hadn't heard of the others! I should check those out. Writing code for riddles is tricky cause even mathematical ones have SO many logic and language assumptions that trying to account for every case would be a nightmare haha

[@RebekahSolWest]

izzitMichaela That’s a good point. I definitely tend to underestimate how complicated it will be to implement an algorithm until I think through the details of the pseudocode. Not to mention that riddles with unstated assumptions (and no way to clarify) tilt me in general.

The answer was always Magic!!

Really good video!

Thanks John!!
