You're on! If I am still around that is, I'll see you eight years from now! It's 2032... Hello future you and future me! Either we've escaped global destruction, or we're right in the midst of it... NB: Quite how I expect to find this comment again, when I can't even remember what I had for breakfast? 🤔
how this works: imagine you mark each square with a number. 1 being the top right, 2 being the top middle, 3 being the top left, and so on. When you are on an odd-numbered space, moving an even number of spaces guarantees you're still on an odd numbered space, and moving an odd number of spaces puts you on an even space. so moving an even number of spaces will keep whether it's an odd or even space, and moving an odd number of spaces will switch it from odd to even and vice versa. Therefore, as long as they can keep track of whether you're on an odd or even space, they can always safely remove one from the opposite guaranteeing you won't be on that space. From there it's just a matter of making sure all the remaining squares stay connected.
Okay but what about when you don't do as he says, picked the house square after he told you to move off of start and stayed there the whole time? Does that make me unpredictable or a spoil sport or a genius for guessing which square he'd remove next?
Omg ! Thank you so much ! No way this could be done naturally haha I hate those fake pranks, and we could clearly see from the start how the smile face card was forcing it's smile. Great insight dood, and thanks for sharing the support for this theory.
If anyone is curious on why this works, it's to do with even and odd numbers. If you replay the video and try to fail the test, you literally cant, because to get to a place that he will remove, you would need either an even or odd number of turns. if its even, then he will count to an odd number of turns, and if its odd, then he will count to an even number of terms.
It's impossible landing on any other card when following the instructions. Every turn he counts to a different number, sometimes you have five moves, sometimes three and so on, because he knows that this exact number of moves makes it impossible to land on a specific card. And this card is then removed :D
When he said that I decided not to move my finger and my card got removed, if I actually made the move I’d have been on the smiley face and have lost 😱
It isnt about possibilities, its about the numbers he says, as we all start at the start, if he says an odd number, is imposible to get to the start again, and this aplies to all the figures, odd numbers blocks some, and even another ones
Gerardo Millan yeah that’s exactly what he said, he removed squares that were impossible to end on based on where you started and how many moves he told you to make
People who say he didn't get it right either broke the rules or they are lying. If he got yours right it means you managed to follow the rules (it's actually a math problem)
Well first of all please write down the moves you made because there should be a mistake in them (you moved one more or one less probably) Imagine paining the tiles like a chess board. The Q l, crossed O, house and unhappy face are black, while the others are white Notice how every time he asks you to move an uneven number of times (1,3,7). Every time you move you change the colour of your tile from black to white or the other way around. Basically this way he will not be able to tell which tile you are on (unless there are only 2) but he will be able to tell the colour of your tile (black or white) So what he does is that he removes a tile from the opposite colour. If you followed the rules and you moved the required amount of times, you can't end up on the tile he removes.
Well, you couldn't guess it until the last moment. But this taught me something. If you can eliminate all possible possibilities it becomes possible to predict the opponent.
This isn't about predictability, it's about numbers. Notice he always stops on an odd number. The one he takes away would always require you to take an even number of moves from the one you were on last time he stopped. The symbols are irrelevant. He just boxes you in by removing the ones an even number from the last stop until you only have one option.
I know right? It can't be a camera lense. I think he might have a piece of glass in front of him. But I can't see any light reflecting off of it or anything.
this works because the specific square you're on doesn't matter, just its parity if you label all the corner squares and the center square as "odd" and the edge squares as "even", each move you make, you're going from odd to even or even to odd so really, only the number of moves matters if it's an even number of moves, you're on the same parity as you were before, and if it's odd, you're on the opposite parity
It's a cool math trick and after like years, kinda got it (hopefully) on why it's works. People who said for it wrong, pretty much did something wrong.
No it is about maths as he is intentionally giving us a certain amount of moves so we can’t go to the isolated picture. It’s pretty simple really. That image is probably to trick u into believing he is doing some sort of psychological trick
@@bg1998 You didn't understand. He knows you won't be on that square because it doesn't matter what moves you choose, it is impossible. Try to go specially for the square he is gonna say and you will realize.
Ryan Walsh yep he only ever gives odd numbers, so using math, he can determine which squares are inaccessible and just eliminate them. Has nothing to do with predicting our thoughts and more to do with “prediction” through mathematics. Anyone with enough time on their hands and knowledge in mathematics can do this.
@@lonerscandream2019 No you really need to count again. It's impossible to reach all of them because no matter where you go to it will always take either an odd or even number of moves to reach them. If I were you I'd try again
I was on the sad face on my 1st elimination , on the wavy lines on the 2nd, then chose the smiley face because the one I was on was eliminated so I was on the Q for my 3rd and last elimination
My maths teacher is pretty chill and cool. She showed this to us but then explained it as simple as possible and went back to letting us use calculators for our GCSE preps
But Its not about predictivity,but you can't possibly (mostly) even after few attempts get there, i counted IT and its true,i think, you can try IT yourself
Its easy to understand how it works because each paper he takes isnt a possibility after a odd number of moves, and every "round" you can only move an odd number of times, taking options 1 by 1 so who said they didnt get predicted played the game wrongly or are lieying
@@Maw0 I guess whether you move diagonally or not, he'll still get it right, because after trying multiple times (moving diagonally twice, more than twice, not moving diagonally at all, and even just jumping to random spots) he'll still get it right.
