Hurdles: 3 for scrapman, 2 for kan, 1 for moombo. Targets: 3 for moombo and kan, 1 for scrapman. Bale: 3 for moombo, 2 for scrapman and kan. Total: 7 for Moombo and Kan, 6 for scrapman I don't know what kind of strange math Scrapman was trying to pull in order to not be the last...

[@notanagger4861]

Scrapman got 2 in targets, not one. Since moonbo and kan tied first place scrapman got second.

[@threeforthsstudios]

@@notanagger4861 I do believe in official ties, if it is a tie for first place there is no second place and third place would be the next closest figure.

[@Luziferne]

Not quite, IF one counts the ties consistently that is. If you put a tie 1 place lower for each, which they don't, the score would be: SM 3 1 1 = 5 kAN 2 2 1 = 5 MB 1 2 3 = 6 and Our Moonboi wins If you put a tie 1 place higher for each, which they consistently do: SM 3 2 2 = 7 kAN 2 3 2 = 7 MB 1 3 3 = 7 And thus everyone is a winner! And to be honest, I do think WE are the winners of the SM:MM anyway and every time.

[@Death_Vail666]

It's a video game people who cares lol. It's all about the fun

[@MrJoerT]

@@Death_Vail666 You're free to not care about video games. Please let other people care about them in peace 🕊️

[@etopsirhc]

it's simple. when you have 2 kids how do you get them to agree on a split. you have kid A split, and kid B pick first. Scrapman would be kid A in this scenario, and just so happened to not split it even enough. thus Kan won the bigger piece.

[@knightbeforedawn]

Due to the fact that the markers for where the bales land, are locked to a grid the accuracy should be no more finer than whole block measurements so I suggest that it should count as a tie!

[@markfilippin5090]

Agreed

[@MagicalPorkChop]

Surely instead of a straight line measurement they could have used the x/y offsets to calculate the distance using Pythagoras' theorum.

[@CleverClothe]

@@MagicalPorkChop That would yield the same result.

[@xEclipse56x]

There are ways of increasing your precision even with the locked grid by using angles and trigonometry. Lookup sine bars for reference

[@CleverClothe]

@@xEclipse56x No, the imprecision is a factor of the bales landing with floating precision but the markers being locked to a grid.

[@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice]

I call it a tie for second on the hay bales. The measuring stick seems like a great way to measure things.... but not if the marker placement is less precise than it, because then you're not actually measuring anything. I think yall should have made the hay bales land in ways that are auto-scored, like triggering sensors or knocking down a pyramid of cans or something.

[@Soken50]

It's a tie, in metrology you would round up to the smallest unit you're able to precisely measure or use an interval of the 2 closest, in SM that unit is the grid you place the markers on, in which case kAN and Scrapman are on roughly the same block distance or within the same block distance interval so they tie and apparently everyone wins.

[@swskitso]

Actually hitboxes are not all solid cubes. A button or switch takes up a fraction of the cube. Maybe if they put a switch at the end it would swing past scrapmans but not kans. Remember feet, miles, and meters are just made up measurements that became standards therefore 14 blocks and a switch would be an accurate measurable distance.

[@Soken50]

@@swskitso All of the blocks are still placed on a grid, my point was the MARKERS used to symbolise how close the bales were are tied to the grid, you can't place an entity on a fractional coordinate, no matter what shape or size the hitbox is. The difference in a fraction of blocs is due to the difference in angles relative to the grid, not block-wise distance. As such the minute difference is within the error bars of the marker precision (1 block).

[@Soken50]

Also, it's a bit of pedantry but most SI units haven't been arbitrary for decades, they are tied to universal "constants".

[@swskitso]

I agree the markers are tied to the grid but as they showed here the measuring stick can measure as the crow flies. The position of the bales was not tied to the grid and could have been measured more accurately with a feeler gauge if they had not been deleted. Using the same method demonstrated they could have added one block at a time till they felt it was best to add a smaller item and work their way up until making contact. Thats the simple method. I understand why you assume blocks are the measurement to go by but you forget the block itself can be measured in pixels and the pixels clearly show kans win. If you want to lock measurement to the grid then you must count blocks on both axis, adding them together will show kan as the shorter distance likely by 1 block. Or you could do more complicated math, pythagorean theorem, which will show the fractional difference.

[@Soken50]

@@swskitso you're mixing up the 2 points. The marker is accurate to within a block in both axes, the measuring stick is accurate to whatever hitbox you use in a radius from the pole. They deleted the bales after putting down the marker so already the results are within a block at best, whatever hypothetical you want to spin is irrelevant.

[@FreezingHot]

When I first saw Moonbo's train I was expecting him to get first place on hay bale throwing event because his mechanism is more like a roller than a launcher. As long as you can roll that hay bale and hit straight to the flag noone can beat you. The best they can do is a tie. Great job man!

[@ravine00612]

my idea for the jumping is that you can have the wheels lock up in place and then jump, so that the wheels dont go off the track, and since its a straight line, you can build up speed and make it since the more speed the less angle you will have in a certain length. For the target i would have half the wheels on electric engines, while half on an electric engine with a switch so you can activate cruise control as if you were in the seat when you aren't. it would be like: electric engine to seat and electric engine to switch.

[@falin9557]

For the final tie where you spent 30 minutes measuring who won, you could measure the distance on X and Y and convert it into radial using angle and real distance

[@docha_tiarna9318]

I think you have to much faith in their collective brain power. Lol

[@awildboop]

@@docha_tiarna9318 I mean kan does have an engineering degree so I think he *might* have a chance

[@CleverClothe]

That gets you the same result in that the distances are equal when considering the margin of error in the measurement (locked to the grid).

[@xEclipse56x]

You do realize that the rotating stick does that exact thing without having to involve any math, right?

[@falin9557]

@@xEclipse56x but doing it gives you the exact distance, so no error and quicker check

[@happy06810]

it would have been so nice if you had use smart target that count the point on their own with a beck display to count faster

[@lighttank3905]

I guess you could say y'all were TRAINing for this.

[@nixyndixy9431]

LOVE FROM LONDON ONTARIO! I think you won Kan :) Canadians are always the true winners even when we might seem like we lost

[@theflyingshunter]

This is my most favorite video in the whole of KZbin Thank you so much for making this video I love locomotives

[@catdisc5304]

Nobody: Literally nobody: Scrap man on a Monday: WWWWUUUUUUELCOMELADIESANDGENTLEMEN

[@suuuuuuuuuz]

Make a challenge where you're 2 teams, and have to build a vehicle together, BUT, you can't communicate with each other, and have to place one block in each turn. Would be fun to see what the vehicle ends up as and how it performs in a race

[@stellisch]

He's on that train grind you know!

[@jickhertz4124]

Moonbo and Kan tied for the win in the olympic clearly! The following placements in each round were: kan - 2, 1, 2 = 5 scrap - 1, 3, 2 = 6 moonbo- 3, 1, 1 = 5 (The one with the lowest total wins) Important note: when there is a tie, the next place skips one. So a tie for first eg. Amelia:1 Bob:1 Charlie: 3. In this game, the second round Kan and Moonbo tied for 1st, so Scrapman got 3rd; for the third round, kan and Scrapman tied for the 2nd place (as they were roughly the same point within error).

[@LIEFDEenHAAT]

to clarify because it is confusing that you have the lower place with a higher total number. score wise they got 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, and 1 point for 3rd Kan - 2, 3, 2 - 7 points Scrap - 3, 1, 2 - 6 points moonbo - 1, 3, 3 - 7 points

[@jickhertz4124]

@@LIEFDEenHAAT Yeah, both works, either you use the placements, and the one with the lowest total wins. Or, you convert the place to points and the one with the most points wins. Sorry it wasn't clear.

[@frankplays6089]

You are still my fav KZbinr since childhood

[@sethwells6460]

The next MM yall should do wall climbing with plungers

[@madmort2081]

Multilayer Monday idea! Let scrapman kan and moonbo mess around with all their previous multiplayer monday creations for 20 mins. No challenge just mess around

[@jspug3]

16th! Good job Kan, you are so cool!

[@masterep0916]

Suggestion: do one of these but every game the losers get to add a block each to the winners vehicle, I would have 5+ challenges

[@RestartedRio]

I would’ve done a no friction block ring around the train for jumping so when I jump it would always stay upright

[@rustyfire9927]

A three trained engine wacky race would have been amazing.

[@iblistichead]

I got one flying train and land back on the tracks and obstacles for the flying trains with the wings mod

[@VMHamel]

You guys could try a plane challenge where you take off regularly, set the plane to fly on a switch, get out of your seat (while somehow staying on your plane) then try and shoot targets, get back in your seat and land the plane successfully. Don't know if it would be possible but could be fun.

[@Everyonelove_Games]

now we need Camodo back in Multiplayer Monday, then the ol’ gang is back together

[@thepatheticone4457]

You could easily just use the pythagorean theorem. I bet two smart boys like you could figure it out with math

[@eveypea]

all points are equal, therefore the winner is the audience

[@easternwoyer3876]

28:34 im pretty sure the Olympics wouldn't care that much for second place 1st place yeah but not second

[@NinjaEsprit]

Could have gone the super accurate route and measures that right triangles from the center. Just get side A and B and solve for C. Would have gotten you the absolute result.

[@warlockd]

Still kind of wish they would put in a train wheel, I mean it works well, but just be nice to know they still do some things to the game.

[@cjslime8847]

Idea , best train built on a corner, may not be possible but idea

[@jspug3]

A fraction of a block IS enough to matter

[@notanagger4861]

But the haybales themselves were measured using full blocks. So why should they suddenly switch to using fractions of blocks?

[@refire7468]

Love it

[@nikeditsgaming]

Kosmo was 1, kan was 2, and scrapman was 3

[@matthewjames5598]

They could just measure the width and length of their markers and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the exact distance.

[@memeberfunk2731]

Yet another train video how unexpected

[@MikeSchuchhard1038]

TRAINSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

[@Deathspark]

I vote tie. This was awesome

[@thenutburglar7923]

You should have used the pythagorian theorem to determine the last test

[@crazyjack3357]

Since moombo and kan tied for the target you two should have done another target round

[@barral69]

I vote due to pixels being what they are, that was a tie. lol

[@dragonrace43]

MULTIPLAYER MONDAY TIME

[@jamesgarrison6430]

You both hit the same 2 dead center

[@cthhtccth1]

Use pythagorus triangle therum to get exact distance

[@carterweevers6513]

KAN=WINNER

[@Stuff_said_]

An inch or a mile a win is a win

[@knightbeforedawn]

the marker they used to measure to is locked to a grid (which could effect the accuracy of the initial marker) thus the accuracy should be only measured to the whole block.

[@mateuszgrzybek4419]

Hey kAN, I have a question, can I use your hexapod walker mechanism to make walking cars from my friend's cars? Of course I'll link it in the description

[@xXVintersorgXx]

I think you need a tie breaker event

A missed opportunity to call it a Trainathlon, intead of a Train Olympics...

[@Gasman2506]

What happened with the multiplayer with Cosmo?

[@xRIGGSx1992]

since ya'll are working on a grid ya''ll should have just done 1/2(b*h). I think you guys tied still but in the end ya''ll just had fun.

[@mr_tiny7emper117]

Why not do a challenge of this, build a course and have 15 mins to build any vehicle you like. Rules are no glitches no thrusters and has to be built in the 15 minute timer

[@DNP_10]

Most controversial ending to a Multiplayer Monday competition. Totally not biased, but kAN wins.

[@2bttbarny429]

Car and turned in to train Olympics

[@Franktamas]

Well ScrapMan 'cheated' at the sharpshooter one. He did not come as second but as third behind Moonbo and kAN so he would only got one point instead of two. So even if the second place is shared between him and kAN at the longtoss challenge and he got two point he only would have 6, and that would make him third at the Olympics either way.

[@jamesdf007]

Hey Kan I got some more theories on scrap mechanic for you there by jotrain gamer on his chanel and the video is the scrap mechanic iceberg explained when you get some free time you should look at this video some time

Could have use basic vektor math to solve the tie.

[@criticalmass8272]

The way i bet with friends, if you mention something like margin of error, but wait until after the results are read out of your favor, the argument is tossed out. Not that it isnt true or not, its just a a fair way to promote being objective
