I like these short clips, but I miss the longer full episodes of scam school

Or make the same 8 by 8 grid. Then divide it down the middle and make 2 nesting U shapes from each piece, where one side of the U is one square higher than the other side

@lawrencenovak5203 5 лет назад

One of the requirements is that all four pieces are identical

@casperunnerup 5 лет назад

@@lawrencenovak5203 I know. And you can make the U shapes identical

Yes this is much simpler and fits all the conditions. Well done.

@100Jig 5 лет назад

Yes, I had this solution. Just wondered if part of the puzzle was could you actually cut it from glass - without cracking it. Wood would work better.

@ryanwolfe2219 5 лет назад

Liked this one a lot, was really hoping that was the solution!

@DWish808 5 лет назад

One I haven't heard of, and my initial thought was correct. That's a first. Yay, ME! LOL

@ImDBatty1 5 лет назад

I knew the solution, before the reveal, only because I was in a glass store not long ago, and it was a puzzle they had on the wall stating anyone who could solve it, should work for them, without using any outside since... I was intrigued, so I looked it up, when I got home... 😎 🦇

@flatfingertuning727 5 лет назад

Were they looking to hire people who could draw a solution on paper, or people who could cleanly cut and separate an actual pane of [presumably annealed] glass into those shapes without it cracking? I can imagine a glass store might be interested in people who could do the latter, since it's hard to separate two pieces of glass which share an inside corner, and the solution as given has a lot of them. I think it might be easier to split the pane in half and then cut each half into a couple of nested "U"-shaped pieces, perhaps with a few extra 45-degree cuts to reduce stress concentrations.

@gawayne1374 5 лет назад

To be honest, this was the fastest I have ever solved an SS puzzle. The spiral seemed instantly to be the most feasible way to approach the problem

@SuperMarksman2010 5 лет назад

Guys, after 8 years of trying to solve these puzzles without the answer, I finally figured one out through my own brain power!!!

@MinorLG 5 лет назад

Was out thrifting today, and gandered at the books, and way down at the bottom of the cook books, I find, Patrick B. Sullivan's *Bets You Can't Lose (How to Win Free Drinks and Still Keep Your Friends [With Magic, Puzzles {sic} and Tricks You Can Do With No Skill Whatsoever])*. After wondering why this was with the cook books, I immediately thought of Scam school. And then an hour after I got home this vid was uploaded, and I was getting ready for work.

@tzisorey 5 лет назад

Immediate thought - cut it into 4 identical spirals of sufficient narrowness to pass through the ring.

@BeastOfTraal 5 лет назад

This won't work with actual glass. You cant cut sharp angles like that in glass.

@scamschool 5 лет назад

It didn’t make the episode, but the original riddle mentions you have a special glass cutter that can cut in any direction. But those little details matter!

How will the ring pass thru the angles. They are wider than 0.8

@BryceCastillo 5 лет назад

Stefan Stoykov No, they’ll fit. The ring is .9” and the widest part of a square with a .5” square is .71”

But for real, folding glass.

@vishusingh4725 5 лет назад

i get that thanks to scam nation and brian for increasing my IQ

@lucienlacy3291 5 лет назад

Or you can still cut the glass into 4 equal strips then tilt the ring to make an ellipse to slide the strips through. It's the same concept with a 1/2" piece of electrical conduit and a quarter.

@mojo6385 5 лет назад

wow, i actually solved one before the reveal.

@thespook1482 5 лет назад

If you cut it in half and move the pieces together longways then you will only be making one cut. If you do this 3 times then you will be left with 8 thin rectangles.

@DaKnightsofawesome 5 лет назад

just cut the glass into a square spirals with 4 arms as skinny as you want

@SeanByramTheOneAndOnly 5 лет назад

Nice.

@somerando1073 5 лет назад

My solution is to cut it into four 1"x4" rectangles, and then heat them until you can bend (one could even say fold) them lengthwise to give you approximately a 1/2"x4" rectangle. Would you buy me a drink for that answer?

@matthewellisor5835 5 лет назад

Multiple solutions but it's a lot like the four heirs problem... Easier presentation if storytelling need be abbreviated. Thanks.

@krotenschemel8558 5 лет назад

Here's the good news, that solution works for any square glass size. Here's the bad news, if you'd used that solution for a 2x2 glass, you'd get into legal trouble.

@Kokurorokuko 5 лет назад

I dont understand, why cant you make 4 1x4 rectangles?

@scamschool 5 лет назад

Because the ring is smaller than 1 inch!

@Kokurorokuko 5 лет назад

@@scamschool ooh, thanks

@Irotten 4 года назад

It still would not work. The corners are going to be wider than going down the strait sides. If you could round off the outside corners then yeah it would work.

@andrewgermann4788 5 лет назад

Thanks Bryce!

@EternalFlameofHeaven 5 лет назад

Given the rules...it was not stated I had to use all of the glass... I'd just cut a small 4 x 1/2 inch strip and cut that into 4 pieces of 1 x 1/2 inch strips...

@Szadols 5 лет назад

He said you have to cut the glass to get 4 identical pieces, and all of them have to fit through the ring. By doing what you just said, you would end up with 5 definitely not identical pieces :v

@EternalFlameofHeaven 5 лет назад

@@Szadols negative. I cut the glass into 4 identical pieces. All of said pieces fit. I just have leftovers.

@Szadols 5 лет назад

Leftovers *are* pieces, so you end up with +4 pieces

@EternalFlameofHeaven 5 лет назад

@@Szadols sure, but that doesn't mean I've broken the rules stated. I did the work of creating 4 pieces. It was not stated that I could not have more in the end.

@flatfingertuning727 5 лет назад

@@Szadols Machine the glass into four 0.866" strips using a grinding wheel that's 0.2" in diameter. There'd be a fair amount of glass dust left over, but I don't think one would typically refer to glass dust as "pieces".

@DasVERMiT 5 лет назад

There's another way you can do this with 2 pairs of interlocking U shapes: i.imgur.com/F7iiqDE.jpg

@scamschool 5 лет назад

Nice! Ours is just one possible answer :)

@jokerinthepack1986 5 лет назад

You could also cut it into 4 strips, the glass youd lose from the cut would make the strips small enough to slide through the ring

@flatfingertuning727 5 лет назад

That depends whether "cut" refers to snapping or abrasion. If one grinds slots through the glass, one could lose an arbitrary amount of material. If one snaps glass, one would lose very little but snapping those shapes without the pieces breaking at the inside corners would be rather a challenge.

@MrAcheivable 5 лет назад

Before I finish watching I’m at 2:12 and quick guess is if we’re saying the internal hole of the ring is 1” and the pane is 4”x4” then you could take the ring attach a cutting edge to the ring and run it down the Length of the pane 3 times to make 4 equal 1” strips... now to see how I’m wrong

@SithBowman 5 лет назад

Problem is, we're saying the internal diameter of the ring is slightly less than 1", not 1" exactly, plus realistically, even if it was 1", it still wouldn't work, the glass has thickness and as the ring curves around, it would be narrower than 1".

@MrAcheivable 5 лет назад

@@KE5ZZO To be honest, I mainly did it for irony, thus the ellipsis, although early comments help to boost the visibility of a video thanks to the algorithm. However, the main purpose of that comment was actually the pun containing the answer to the puzzle. And going by the current numbers, at least two people cared about the comment (excluding myself and, indeed, yourself).
