For those who don't know, this is a microsoft paint draft I could never finish. If you wanna animate this yourself I don't mind at all. Consider it public domain lol
Guys, the time machine created a praradoxial rift, meaning all time, future and past is either never happening or is happening now, meaning that all of the children were predestined to have the gem, giving them god powers
if child one prime did acid before observing child 2, would the superposition still collapse? (i am making a joke, yes i know the actual answer please dont correct me, i am just trying to be funny)
This has like, a million different references to trolley problem, shrodinger's cat, prisonner's dilemma, the one with the island where everyone has green eyes, a lot of different stuff. This is ridiculously crazy and I love it!
@@ClementinesmWTFAnd the game "lights out" , the joke about stuff being sphereical in physics textbooks references to bad youtuber challenges and soo much more!
Roko’s basilisk, spherical cows, circle theorems, hilbert’s paradox of the grand hotel, Latin, the liar paradox, the grandfather paradox or the Terminator, Theseus’ ship, and probably a bunch of other references Also, I’m guessing the letters at 0:30 are some caesar shifted text but I can’t be bothered to check it
Lyrics: You find yourself in an unfamiliar world. In front of you are three children, each of them perfectly rational. Each child is also guarding one of three doors. Behind two of the doors is a monster that will rip all of your limbs off and leave you to die of blood loss, but behind the third door is a magic crystal that will give its holder the powers of a god. You don't know which door the crystal is behind, and you can't understand the language the children speak, but for inexplicable reasons, you know that they can understand your questions. One of them will always tell the truth, one of them always lies, and if you could ask the third one, they would tell you they always lie. Don't think about it. Each child is also blind and only knows what's behind their own door and what their own true or false role is. But what's interesting is that every time any of them answer a question, they will roll a six-sided die. Whichever number the die lands on, they will cycle their truth roles that many spaces. Like so, of course, if it lands on a three or a six, there will effectively be no change, since after that roll, their roles do a full barrel roll. While you and all three children can always see the number rolled, you don't know which way their roles will cycle. While pondering this problem, you find a brilliantly crafted flute on a pedestal nearby. You take the flute and read the inscription on the pedestal, which gives you important information. Child one wants the flute badly, and if you give it to him, he will do anything he can to help you win this challenge and receive the crystal. Child two has the ability to communicate in a language you understand using the flute, but only if you know Morse code. Child three is skilled in combat and promises she can use the flute as a weapon to protect you from imminent death if you happen to open a door with a monster. Which child should you give the flute to? Since you don't know Morse code and you're not planning on opening a door with a monster, you give the flute to child one, believing that even if he's the liar, his perfectly rational actions will certainly be in your favor. You then stand in front of door number three as you and child one realize you both have the same idea. Child one opens his door, revealing a monster behind it, and you realize that your odds of guessing the correct door will increase if you now change your decision to door number two. But before you can ask Child two to open it, child one's body is brutally dismembered by the monster behind the door. Child two runs away screaming, and child three takes the flute from child one's corpse and kills the monster. However, when they return, child two moves to guard door number one, child three moves to guard door number two, and child four moves to guard door number three, and so on and so on up to infinity. It should be mentioned that child four is not perfectly rational and did not previously exist; rather, they were a hypothetical future superintelligence which plans to revive anyone in the past who didn't help in their creation into a simulated punishment. Since you and child one each helped child four come into existence, you two are spared, while children two and three enter a simulated reality. Child four simulates the two children piloting individual spherical, frictionless cows flying at the same altitude on one axis over a Euclidean planet with a diameter of 50 kilometers. Child two's cow travels at 10 kilometers per day, and child three's cow travels at 20 kilometers per day, starting on Sunday. Child four tells them that at some point during the next five days, they will crash into each other on a day they won't expect. They realize that they won't crash on Friday since making it to Friday will no longer make the crash date unexpected. The same logic eliminates Thursday and Wednesday. Then child four tells them that they will be unconscious for nearly the entire flight. Four will flip a coin, and if it lands on heads, they will both wake up briefly on Monday, and if it lands on tails, they will wake up once on Monday and then on Tuesday with no memory of previously waking up. When they wake up, they have the option to turn exactly 180 degrees without decelerating in hopes of avoiding a crash. They don't know where they start relative to each other, and they're still blind. Additionally, two and three both have the opportunity to throw each other under the bus. Initially, it is determined that when they crash, they will both wake up injured on a deserted island. If they choose to screw each other over, they will survive the crash unharmed, while the other will stay in a two-week coma before waking up. If they both screw each other over, neither will survive the crash. Both being completely rational, they each elect to screw the other over, but child two was currently the liar, so he accidentally tells child four he won't screw child three over. And when they both wake up on the flight, they ponder what the odds are that Forrest coin landed on heads as they crash land on the island where the only source of food is coconut. Child three collects all the coconuts before child two gets out of his coma. She says she will only share coconuts with child two if he can give a proof that explains why the line between any two non-entipital points on the surface of a spherical coconut will be perpendicular to a line from one of the points to the other in a typical point. Child two comes up with the solution instantly but is still the liar and thus explains it completely wrong, and consequently starves to death. Is this really a free transaction? Child three then realizes something interesting. She will always know whether she's telling a true statement or not, and thus can ask herself questions about all of science until she achieves virtual omniscience, which she uses to free herself from the simulation along with child two who will now be in a superposition between deceased and revived until directly observed. Child two uses three's trick to gain omniscience, builds a time machine to travel back before the entire experiment, and kidnaps child one, preventing the experiment from ever happening in Timeline B. It should be noted that only the alive half of the child two superposition did this; the dead half did not. Now timeline B is in a superposition of containing or not containing child one. This causes the newly superimposed child two B to get revenge on child two prime by going back in time and killing his grandfather and producing timeline C, which begins a chain reaction opening more and more alternate universes, all of them simultaneously existing and not existing. Meanwhile, in the A plot, child three takes the original child one's limbs and puts him back together into a near replica, but child four has the flute and isn't sure which of the two child ones is the real one. He offers it to the child one made of the original one's limbs, but he says to double it and give it to the next person. Child one B says the same thing, and he asks every instance of child one in every branching time timeline the same question until child one-101 tells him to have it and give it to all the previous instances, creating upwards of two non-alien flutes across the multiverse. And now the outside of each of these 100 universes is labeled randomly with the numbers 1 through 100. Child one Prime goes to the universe labeled 100 and opens every universe corresponding with the order of magnitude of flutes in the previous one until he finds the one at the end of the loop with two to the 100 flutes. Child one B turns off the lights in every universe, child two B turns on the lights in every other universe, child three B every third universe, and so on and so on. Child two Prime also toggles the lights in every other universe, putting half of them in a superposition of non-existing, having the lights on and having the lights off. Child three Prime tells the first 100 universes that at least one of them contains an instance of Child 3 and that an observer in Universe Prime sees an odd number of universes with the lights off. After 100 days with just the given information, the universes 1-100 logically determine whether their own lights are on or off and escape the experiment. Child three B is now adult 3B and solves the Riemann hypothesis. Child 3C starts selling pork chops side of the street for a bargain. Child 3D oven the cold food hot out eat the food. At this point, a simulated version of child 1 starts traveling across a line of universes at a rate of one universe every time it expands by 10 universes. Paradoxically, he eventually gets to the end and sees a superimposed trolley about to kill five people. He redirects it to kill one person who just so happened to be child 2-10 to the 44th, which stops the entire chain reaction of timelines. He asks himself questions until he determines which door the crystal is behind in this timeline and takes it. The simulation of child 1 has now become God and begins an epic battle against child One Prime who has another instance of the God Crystal. Their battle tears apart the multiverse holding time and space over itself several times until child one in perfect rationale directly observes Child 2, causing the superposition to collapse, deleting the entire multiverse that was entangled with him as promised for giving him the flute. Child one then hands the crystal to you, both of you knowing it was all part of the master plan if you carefully follow the logic. In any other scenario, you will realize that this is the only scenario where you are guaranteed to receive the crystal.

I love how this includes many references to different mind puzzles and paradoxes covered by TED-Ed. I also like the consistency of the story, remembering midway through that one of the children is a liar (child 2) and bringing back the superposition joke that ends up finishing the plot. Well done friend
I think my favorite is Child 2, being perfectly rational, knowing the answer to Child 3's question for the coconuts but not answering it right because he always lies.

I love how you satirized the ludicrous premises of certain logical puzzles by making the fallacy of "if you can be honest with yourself, you can accurately answer absolutely any question", that's hilarious.
This video perfectly encapsulates what watching Ted Ed videos as a small kid was like, at first you can understand somethings, then it becomes increasingly incomprehensible until you're just going along with it.
@@Droopid Simple, they used f5 to gain a whole new perspective and realized that they are made up of the same fundamental particles as every other object in the universe, meaning that they Are the universe and sacrificed a non-vital body part and re-wrote it's molecular structure to become the crystal that was hidden behind door 2 and became a god, allowing him to directly manipulate any part of the multiverse so long as it is not already being manipulated by a being of equal power. Fortunately, both the Simulated version of Child 1 and Ken himself (The 2 beings who became gods in the video) had no interest in this part of reality, allowing @orilego6736 to manipulate the single line of code being shown to us to denote the time that their comment was posted.
I love how we just objectively decide that you don’t know Morse code and I know there’s that one dud watching the video going “Hey, I know Morse code!”
I always wondered if these logic puzzle videos really help make you smarter, now i know that actually they turn you into a hyperdimensional super genius
i love how it made sense at first, made excessive amount of sense by the middle, and then made a coherent excessive amount of sense by the end. masterful storytelling, will give child 1 the flute 10/10 times

3 always lies, so by you knowing that you didn’t forget something cause you followed the logic correctly means 3 will tell you you didn’t and you forgot something.
This is fucking hilarious. The moment child 4 came in and you revealed the infinite doors I genuinely laughed out loud and continued doing so for most of the rest of video. I love this so much.
I would watch a Netflix adaptation of Ted ED into a cinematic multiverse, where all the characters originate from logical dilemmas trying to escape the hellish confines of their existence...
I haven't finished it yet, but so far I believe Dark could be a complex development of what would have been to be trapped inside a time loop made due to a grandfather's paradox 🤔
As a high school student very interested in theoretical physics and game theory who got all of the references, I feel obligated to say that this is the best video.
That's because when you give child 3 the flute and kill both monsters you end up in a situation where you are standing unarmed against a skilled combatant. As shown on the video, the children are also capable of using the crystal and will fight for its powers. Without child 1 on your side you would surely fall to child 3 and there wouldn't be anything capable of stopping them from ascending to godhood. As there wouldn't be a reason for child 3 to create a multiversum (because it's the best outcome from child 3's perspective), you would have no chance of obtaining the crystal, thus failing the puzzle.
Three things. 1. I love how afterwards it doesn’t involve you anymore and instead involves around the children. All chaos is loose and you just stand there wondering if the crystal is worth it or not. 2. It would’ve been funnier if instead you asked the question after all the chaos and madness and then tell us another crazy explanation on why that is the correct answer and why the other answers were wrong. 3. I love how they all did this while still being blind.
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 then how did child 1, also blind, can observe child 2 as a superposition? did he get his eyesight as he become a f**king god? also i think by "observng" a superposition, it's by all senses. *quantiom stuff is painful*
I love how I get 90% of the references for each section of the video XD. Also Ken u rly should make more vids like these they r peak entertainment. I cant explain how much I love this video it might be my favorite in all of youtube now.
I loved the way the absolute nonsense picked up and took my brain on a ride all while actually making sense and was detailed enough for me to follow, the children being blind got me good lmao.
In hindsight, it was painfully obvious child 1 was the right choice, since st 1:37 he's the only one not holding a flute, he doesn't care about it, he has a mission and the flute will NOT get in the way.

Maybe at the end where he says”if you carefully follow the logic in any other scenario you will realize this is the only scenario where you are guaranteed to get the crystal ”
Ok i'm gonna write down all the philosophical / sciency references that i noticed: - The Monty Hall problem - Hilbert's hotel - Roko's basilisk - Assuming cows are spherical (physics meme) - The prisoner's dilemma - The Pythagorean theorem - Schroedinger's cat (or i guess child in this case?) - The grandfather paradox - The ship of Theseus - The 100 prisoners problem - Riemann hypothesis (i mean he literally said it out loud) - Supertasks (specifically Achilles and the tortoise is referenced here)¹ - The trolley problem Of course the way to solve this problem is immediately obvious when you use f5. You see, going into f5 you gain a whole new perspective that lets you see things that you previously couldn't Ones that i missed: - ¹ apparently it wasn't Achilles and the tortoise but the ant on the rope - The Omnipotence paradox (which is actually a larger family of paradoxes) - "The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever" / Three gods riddle - Unexpected hanging paradox - Coconut island hypothetical / Diamond coconut model - The sleeping beauty problem - The locker / light switch problem
@@f1reflam3 oh yeah you're right Honestly most of these were off the top of my head, i only looked up the exact name for some of them so there might be a few more mistakes
this is actually genius i used to watch those riddles and this is so accurate lmao. I need this to become a full lore series with characters arcs and crossovers. 2-10^44 was my fav character by far
This video is such a masterpiece. All the references and the (relatively fast) descent into incomprehensible mumbo jumbo, with plot twists along the way. Legit the most I’ve laughed in a long while.
@@bowenjudd1028is that possible? Or you mean like sinplified verison? Cause thats simple, there are set number of realities or groaing depending on the time stamp, child 2 exist in supper position as well as child 2b is inportsnt to mention, child 1 is simulsted beacause child 4, but also reconstructed, adn child 3 is child 3 snd is all knwoing and ask abaut other child 3 in other universes even tho she is all kneoing and doesn't need it
the worst part is that this is a mashup of a lot of logic puzzles and makes the viewer think that they’ve heard it before and know the solution already
I've seen another parody before this, this one's better. I like how it starts out seeming like a logic puzzle that's very tough, but feasibly solvable if you follow the logic, but then the solution have spirals off into insanity. This is what it feels like to watch a Ted-Ed logic puzzle and not understand the logic. Also, I love how you just combined every famous thought experiment into one elaborate storyline.
this has so many references to different math paradoxes/dilemmas, for example, it starts of with the monty hall problem then goes to hilbert's hotel to robo's basilisk to unexpected hanging paradox and then goes into a huge insanity including schrödinger's cat, ship of theseus, turing's halt problem, the grandfather paradox,and the euclid's fifth postulate thing. my favorite parts are the prisoner's dilemma part and the "double it and give it to the next person" part
why is this so accurate. I used to watch these videos all the time when I was younger so whenever someone at school asked me a tricky riddle I would already know how to do it and seem smart lmao
So glad to see Kenadian branching out of his usual, solely Minecraft-focused content... This is an absolute blast of a video that just about borders the verge of being impossible to understand yet still makes logical sense and very far from Ken's usual output, however it's just as high quality. Absolutely insane stuff, I am impressed the funny prison and debunk guy knows this much about science in general.
This is PERFECT representation of GT:NH in minecraft, where the diamond is some sort of ingot or chemical you are trying to produce with all of the steps required to get it. For the monster's, they are the analogy of inefficient recipes e. g. Water electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen(absolutely not available due to it's speed and energy cost). The only optimal path is the one described, except you have to "prepare" all of it. Getting 100 universes with toggleable lights, simulation of deserted island etc. Nice job Ken.

Well see, by having the god crystal in the future at the end you therefore control time and effectively already have it so its easy to come to this conclusion.
By this conclusion, this story is told from child 3's perspective and no one has the crystal until they all exit child 3's brain into the video and exit the video into the real world only to collapse from having no 3rd dimension.
