Jared Schreckengast I guess this will be faster and easier to solve with a computer. Maby you let the computer calculate all possible combinations of squares to get 6400 and then try to arrange them on the 80×80 grid yourself (because this step could be difficult to code).

You don't solve them because they're boring. That's my opinion. This one is not about creative thinking , it's about doing a lot of high school math for nothing. No one wants to do that. Some of the older riddles were more creative, that's why we couldn't help trying to solve them.

@abdulmasaiev9024 4 года назад

"Cover a square with non-identical rectangles" Uh... How about the entire square? Squares are rectangles, so that is one too. It's unique since there can't be two of the same if there's only one. Its sides are whole numbers. It covers the entire area. The score is 0, you can't go lower than that since MAX >= MIN, so MAX - MIN >= 0. It doesn't even matter what size we're supposed to cover (assuming it's whole by whole, which it has to be or you'd never cover the entire thing no matter what), we're done here.

@StefV153 3 года назад

Rectangles, not rectangle

@abdulmasaiev9024 3 года назад

@@StefV153 That is the intention for this problem, yes. But the usual convention in math says that any number is good (including 1, or even 0 though that's not applicable here), unless specified otherwise. The point is they technically should have specified it's 2 or more, and no, using a plural of "rectangles" here is not good enough.

@StefV153 3 года назад

@@abdulmasaiev9024 well thats the problem with videos like these: the problems arent written in mathematical language but in English, which automatically makes it dependent on it. In English, a plural in this situation always means more than or equal to 2. In this type of problems, English conventions > math conventions

@abdulmasaiev9024 3 года назад

@@StefV153 Almost all problems are written in some spoken language, so that would mean that math conventions almost never trump in math. This is an absurd idea. Domain specific conventions always trump more general conventions when they're in conflict within that domain. This is a math problem so the math convention trumps, and not at least acknowledging the math convention is sloppy at best.

@jacksonhawkins2775 6 лет назад

What I did: I wrote out the possible areas and ordered them. Then I tried to make 64 using various combinations. Through desperation and figuring out the "odd rule" mentioned in the video's solution, I came across the 8-8-10-12-12-14 combo. It fit in fine, but I still felt like there was a better solution. I tried for quite a while after that, but I didn't even find the second solution in the video. In the end, I felt I had failed, and even when the answer came up in the video, I feel more like I lucked out than figured out.

@thebluepitara Год назад

how pls tell us

@phynex602 4 года назад

1. You must cover a square canvas with non overlapping rectangles 2. A(largest) - A(smallest) = score The lowest score you can get for a square is 0 by simply not dividing. For an 8x8 (largest = 64) (smallest = 64) so 64-64 = 0 3x3 squares are aloud and as such a square with full dimensions should also be allowed. It fits the rule stated by covering the entire canvas and never overlaps.

@dabodeh2201 6 лет назад

@chompyzilla 4 года назад

I think you must be missing a rule from this. Regardless of the grid size, you should have one rectangle occupying the whole grid. It will be both the largest and smallest rectangle you have, which awards the perfect score of 0.

@maxmustermann3876 6 лет назад

Score 4: 2×7, 2×8, 4×4, 3×6 But there is no possible way (configuration) to get these parts into the 8×8 square. Score 6: 2×4, 1×8, 2×5, 3×4, 2×6, 2×7 (The configuration is pretty easy, since there is always only one sensible option to place the longest part left. There is another way to get 6 (with 2×8 instead of the two pieces with area 8), but I didnt look for a configuration. Score: 7 1×5, 1×6, 2×3, 2×4, 1×8, 3×3, 2×5, 3×4 or 2×6 (I didnt find a configuration, but maby there is one.) Score: 8 1×4, 2×2, 1×5, 1×6, 2×3, 1×8, 3×3, 2×5 (Almost the same as the one before, but I found a possible configuration for this one.)

@Christian-wk7ox 6 лет назад

My answer is 2 if 3x3 rectangle is allowed, and if it's not allowed since it's technically a square, then my lowest answer is 6, too.

@enderyu 6 лет назад

Christian What a square is a rectangle and is allowed 0:28 . And an answer with score 2 is impossible using an area 9 rectangle, since that would mean that the biggest and lowest area used were between 7-10, since there are no rectangles of size 11 that fit in the 8x8 space. there is 1 possible rectangle for sizes 7,9[the 3x3 one], and 10, and 2 of area 8 [2x4 and 1x8]. 7+8+8+9= maximum of 32 of total area, only half the space you needed to fill. 8+8+9+10= maximum of 35. If I have made any mistake, then please tell me what is wrong with my argument. And sorry for bad english

Waaaaah this doesn't appeal to me personally so TedEd is worse!

The mathematical riddles are great!(unlike this one) This follows no formula so is hardly mathematical.

Harder is better, since you think the mathematical riddles are hard or bad, I'm guessing you aren't the best at them, and thus could use some practis.

True "mathematical riddles" are just math. They are not fun and usually quite simple.

I’ll just leave the canvas full. 64 - 64 = 0, perfect score.

Can you stop calling your titles riddles, and call them math puzzles. I know it’s a mind teaser, but this isn’t a riddle. It’s not a play on words, idioms, and concepts. These are all advanced and interesting math problems. Not riddles.
