Is there an issue? It's perfectly logical to receive all information possible if it's being presented to you with no consequences. If there's no risk for receiving the additional clues, why wouldn't you take them?

That part where it says she could have entered the code after the second clue threw me off, because I thought that she already had the answer, but was asking for a third clue for the benefit of the listeners, not that she didn't yet have the answer.

[@RochesterOliveira]

2:23 clue number four would help you to clarify that

[@8bit_pineapple]

If you know the answer after two hints it benefits the listeners more to not ask for a third clue (It eliminates [2,2,9] and [1,6,6] instead of just [1,6,6]). Plus the listeners also get a huge benefit when you ask for a 3rd question when they know you wouldn't if you already had the solution.

[@ThatsMrSomeGuyToYou]

That really depends, Bradley... If she knew the answer after the second clue, and she left right then and there, her companions would have 6 possible answers with no way to determine the right one. Since she doesn't know what the third clue is, that clue might've been exactly what they needed to narrow it down to 1 answer.

[@Applest2oApples]

+Bradley Good point, however she does not know what the clue is before asking for it. That means can't know how many possibilities a third clue could eliminate. It would be in her best interest to ask for a third clue to eliminate as many as possible.

[@nisargpatel4560]

She knew what number hallway she went through. After adding up the digits, she saw that two of them were the same, 13, while the rest were different. Since she already knew her hallway number, she could have left, if all of the sums were different. However, knowing she went through hallway 13, she didn't know which combination if 13, therefore she had to ask for a third clue. She wouldn't have needed that third clue if all of the sums were different, because she went through one hallway, and she knew which hallway it was.

[@teenfoe]

This actually the Three Daughters problem. A classic. A student asks his teacher: How old are your three daughters? The teacher says the product of their ages is 36.

So the teacher says the eldest one plays the piano.

My eldest daughter loves chocolate. That one right? I think that was a better version of the puzzle tbh.

[@000marioshi000]

For me, it was "My eldest daughter has blonde hair" :)

[@Azrage]

+Tahmid Islam (Tanveer) Mine was my eldest child loves cookies.

[@thenamelessbookworms4457]

+Chris Randall That's how I got the answer!!! I remembered how that was solved and used it to my advantage! 😃😃😃 I am SO proud of myself for that!!!

[@rageldith9600]

2:18 is the funniest screenshot in ted ed riddle history

[@icarusty6481]

And this is why super villains always lose. They let their nemeses play logic games like this instead of just killing them right then and there and being done with it.

[@DisturbedNeo]

What if Zara deliberately asked for the 3rd clue because she knew (with her “perfect logical reasoning”) that there was no way the others would know the hallway she entered, and so attempted to gain more information through the audio transmitter?

[@454ffv]

in step 1, they shoulda eliminated the codes with double digit 3rd number since the passcode only allowed for 3 digits total. So like it couldn't be 1*3*12 because that's 4 digits. Not that it mattered but still

[@IFA1]

I thought I was the only one....I'm like its a 3 digit code with a 9 number keypad no way I'm fitting 12, 18, or 36 in that XD.

[@davidwebb4755]

I thought so as well.

[@ekimarcher]

I thought the same thing but the answer still doesn't change.

[@DrGerbils]

The puzzle never says anything about the code being limited to 3 digits.

[@IFA1]

+DrGerbils It doesn't have to, because it fits 1 digit per box. If it did fit 2 digits per box...how do I move on to the next digit box? Where on the keypad is the space/tab bar? If it were capable of 2 digits per box then it would be 6 digits meaning most importantly and finally where is 0? Because if it's 2 digits then there has to be a 0 in front of any number less than 10, and numbers with 0 like 10, 20,etc (Ex....A date written numerically is commonly written mm/dd/yyyy 8 digits. If today is March 3 2016 I'd have to put 03/03/2016). If it wasn't there then the number placed like for example the code 557 would then need to be typed 55, 55, 77 in order to move to the next digit place but the computer will see it as seventy-seven not seven. So no its 1 digit place per box because of the absence of 0 or some form of moving to the next box while filling in the space....sorry :p.

[@jimmywu1011]

this is the only ted-ed riddle I solved by myself. I'm so proud of myself LOL

[@phacey4444]

Zara: *knows from the second clue but ask for the third to help the others out* The others: write that down, she needed all 3 clues.

[@jadeow7502]

i would be so screwed

[@dancorwin9232]

So would we all

finally me too

[@PowerNoob9000]

I worked out the options 2-3-6 and 3-3-4 before saying screw it.

[@clyax113]

Same

[@weakgait]

i did like 3 options :T im mad at myself

[@FronocoVideos]

Exactly the same!

[@deniserobinson2368]

There was no 2

[@gabi4593]

its 1 1 36. 1 x 1 = 1 1 x 36 = 36. 1 +1 = 2 2 +36 = 38. without the clues she couldnt find out the passcode because one is unique and it has to be acending. . . i dont actually know but im paused trying to figure it out. WISH ME LUCK !!!

[@thehappysuma3067]

Riddle: Asks for answer Me: Just uses the first 2 clues and thnks it’s 2 2 9 Riddle: Answer is 2 2 9 Me: 🤯

clearly examine all buttons for fingerprints

[@halfnwhole751]

Where will zara find flour

[@lildishrag4860]

MORAY EEL that would take too long

[@augustinedaudu9203]

Irish Virador you could just put it under the light of those electric Gates and examine any reflection

[@Speedinglobster]

There will be people who got them wrong And the fingerprints don’t give the order either

[@augustinedaudu9203]

Hey Plays but will be able to use the second clue to determine what order it was in because we'll already know what buttons she pressed

[@flipperzgg]

Wait, why didn't she purposely say a wrong answer, so she could return and tell them the answer

[@flipperzgg]

Tell them the code*

[@Dutchyman]

If she said the wrong code or anything for that matter, they would be thrown into the pit. Listen to the story -.-

[@baaaldur]

no, she would only be thrown back into the dungeon. they wouldnt be thrown into the pit til next morning.

[@jonatan01i]

But she can fly she wouldn't fall down if she don't want to.

[@Dutchyman]

+Exertuz she doesnt get a second chance, obviously...

Couldn't they just fly out?...

[@carlosalvarez2791]

They were stuck in a dungeon with no doors

[@panie445]

When they were being fed to the salamanders

[@ToadRoasted]

what about when they were being fed to the salamanders. they b could just fly out then. idk why i watched this vid. i just did

[@humant9664]

Why you buy clothes at the soup store!!????

[@ToadRoasted]

+creativekitty cat damn u

[@IsaacLevy]

or she asked for the third clue because she knew there wasn't enough info for her compatriots yet. In which case, game over, man! game over!

[@Stubbari]

Or she asked the thrid clue because she didn't have enough info to get out herself after the 2 clues.

[@alyssiagonzales7960]

Yep

[@7Poetica]

2:24 and look at #4

[@Jandalph]

I like how they just assumed she would just leave them to die the second she had her own way to escape.

[@Stubbari]

Jandalph Well, she's a perfect logician so she should leave whenever she knows the answer and not worry about her friends. So she would leave them to die. Luckily they could escape with her.

[@aarnzoo5124]

Zara should have inserted the wrong number, so she’d been thrown back in with the other two, then she could have said the right answer, and they could’ve escaped at night?!

[@thebrofistyt3667]

Just Another Broken Thing yup,instead,Zara ditched the other 2 so that they could solve the riddle themselves.

[@xylanyuricorpuz5566]

That's what a normal person would do

[@koibubbles3302]

Darn that Zara

[@tnlmxtin628]

Just Another Broken Thing Stolen comment

[@aienbalosaienbalos4186]

Why would she risk being thrown back into another dungeon, without any knowledge if they could sneak out at night, when she could save herself AND tell the others by leaving and telling them the password through the transmitter? You are not a perfect logician ;)

[@chineduj-o6291]

OMD I LOVE the animation here, it's so smooth and perfect.

[@jialiblob]

Can you make a video for those of us that are struggling with riddles? Like "tips to solve riddles" or what not.

[@elliotreid7401]

I like the riddle, but it has one serious flaw: Zara knows that the other two are going to be escaping based on the information she manages to feed them, and that the first two clues aren't enough to narrow it down for them. So even if SHE could have solved it with just the two clues, she still would have asked for a third one to help her friends, meaning you can't infer the hallway number and the whole thing falls apart.

[@Zorak9595]

Exactly. The riddle makes sense for us, but not for the two listening in on the transmitter.

[@s1ddh4r7h.p]

Why do they seem like Hazel, Frank and Leo from Heroes of Olympus when they were trapped in the colosseum..... hmm

[@jaythun_l]

[@pornkarnlapitiman6086]

Siddharth B Prabhu Ψ do you have Animo?

[@zoebops5344]

I did it differently. I figured out very quickly that the combination 1-6-6 was the only way to have two equal numbers at the top and then just tried to find another code with the same sum.

[@nabin6976]

If those guys could create mutant salamander and shit, they should have come up with a riddle that a dumfuck like me could not solve!

[@owenlewis4693]

[@Heligoland360]

Why are they flying at the end? Was it the math and logic?

[@squidwardshouse830]

The logic was there but not in way the simple person would think.

no they ate beans earlier and it came to them

[@BZ_3333]

1:08 Love how what they say is the inverse of what's animated 😂

[@stephenwaldron4213]

2, 2, 9, please tell me I'm right. I focused on the clue that she needed all 3 clues, the last being that the last number is unique, which insinuates that her previous answer broke this rule therefore I got the equation: x*y^2 = 36. After thinking a while, I realized 36 had the root of 6, so simply 1*6^2 = 36. If I thought this was her answer after rule 2, it must satisfy rule 2,therefore I can get the hall number n, since x+2y = n, 1+2(6) = n, n = 13. After this I went on a tangent trying to solve mathematically, but realized there was a strictly finite range of possibilities given whole numbers, so I just used trial and error. Since the last number was the most, I need to find a number, which was more than 6 since that's roughly half of 13, and less than 13 obviously, which satisfied the two equations: a*b*c=36 a+b+c=13 Since I was basically already using the second equation, I just needed to check against the first. So, 7? nope, 8? umm... nope. 9? 13-9=4, 36/9=4... OoO, And that's basically how I came to a conclusion. Time to press play and cross my fingers.

[@stephenwaldron4213]

Work out all possible solutions for 36, lol, my brain's nowhere so capable. But yessssss! I got it, my first Ted riddle solved, yay. Though you guys make it seem obvious :'(

[@waldena2851]

This riddle is bad, it works backwards. and your equation is bad, you ignore 1 can be one of the number. If the sum of the comb is not 13, she won't be able to pass the hall way number. according to the reason, My conclusion is that Zara is a selfish little kid.

[@ArticulateDuck]

Eh, if it turned out the sum wasn't thirteen, then the other two could go to doors 10, 11, 14, 16, 21, and 38, and punch in the codes "3, 3, 4", "2, 3, 6", "1, 4, 9", "1, 3, 12", "1, 2, 18", and "1, 1, 36", respectively, until they ran into a door whose electric gate came down, even if the doors lock you out after one attempt each.

[@stephenwaldron4213]

ArticulateDuck what if they killed you or got you killed after one attempt or worse, cause you to get expelled from school.

[@stephenwaldron4213]

Yaoxing Li​ You mean 36*1^2=36? Meaning the hall number could be 36+2(1)=38. This one couldn't be it since 1 < 36, and they have to go lowest to highest in the equation. 

[@GamSpoley]

The number pad at 0:33 threw me off as it only displayed numbers between 1-9, which got me to eliminate 12,18, and 36 as they're divisibles of 36.

[@AhsimNreiziev]

In the end, it doesn't matter as the two combinations that add up to 13 both only have the numbers 1-9 in it.

[@XoIoRouge]

You're allowed to remove them as possible outcomes. I eliminated them as possible outcomes because a numpad lock cannot have double digits. I solved it quicker then because I didn't need to write out or add up extra series of numbers.

[@kingofvideos6191]

True.

[@MrVany100]

lol i paused when he said 8 possible outcomes and i had five so i spent like 10 mins trying to figure out what the other 3 were...

[@youngblood7308]

Answerbis 3-3-4 Multiply to 36 And biggest # is unique

[@alienzenx]

The numbers on the keypad only go from 1 to 9, so 18, 12 and 36 are not possible.

[@Minecraftster148790]

I don't like it when they do all this rubbish when they should just give the actually question straight away. It always causes problems like this

[@alienzenx]

Minecraftster148790 It doesn't actually affect the solution. But it bothered me that he specified it was a keypad combination, and the pictures also showed keypads with 1 to 9, and then he includes two digit numbers in calculating the solution.

[@huntsvilleadventurer]

Even so, 2 2 9 is the only solution if you consider a 36 number keypad

[@monsebp3817]

Yeah i had a problem there, I thought they must be 1 digit numbers so I worked from there, I got the answer but then I watched the video, they have to explain that too

[@qwert8392042]

I have same question when i see the solution.
