    I had a feeling that it was a ordered deck based on how they got cards that ascend in order but then I heard the explanation and I'm just like "Wow Brian, you certainly have a gift."

    I love James Grimes. I suggested an episode basef on a different Numberphile contributor. He discussed how the 4 4s game was completely solved. You can do a follow up to your old 4 4s episode as a challenge where you can always do one the other people can't.

    @timharig 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Man, that first step of finding yourself in the sequence mentally without a reference is brutal when it falls between the sets. Then you have to start in the middle of one and transfer to the next abruptly. Even with a lot of practice, I don't see many people trying this one in front of strangers with as much potential as there is for complete failure from a simple position error while working under pressure. Since the actual numeric values of the card do not matter to the sequence, I wonder if there might not be a better way of rearranging the the card values so the sequence hints at the start value. Then you would ONLY have to keep track of the cards that are actually present.

    The thing that surprised me the most was how De Bruijn was pronounced (even though it's probably how all English speakers pronounce it), seems an extra syllable got added there. But I have never managed to explain how to pronounce /œy/ to an English speaker anyway so guess it's just too strange for them.

    @Scam School: Can you do a struggling magician routine with this trick? so you just randomly guess the colour and they tell you yes/no then you turn around and name all their cards? 1/16 times you look like a pro with all 4 colour guesses then named the cards, 1/16 times you look likea chump before the reveal if you get all 4 wrong, if you get some right and some wrong, just play along?
    EDIT: by the way that is 4 bits of information. 1 bit is only a binary yes or no.

      Did I spell Shwood right, by the way? I seem to recall something to do with the letter C, but I can't remember if it was yes there is a C or no there is not one. Or maybe there were multiple C's but they're all silent? I dunno, spelling is almost as hard as math.

    How many decks do I need Brian one or more and you said you had 48 cards which ones do I take out

    • @ggtohh7186
      @ggtohh7186 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you pause at 8:45 you see 16 cards, 48 is 16 x 3 so i'm assuming you need 3 each of those cards, ordered together like it is shown on the screen, 3 times.
      So then you need 3 decks of cards, to answer your question. Or maybe im mis understanding the trick, it's very confusing to figure out from the extremely brief explanation of the setup (but the very in depth explanation of how it works).

  • @devanshgadda8595

    So, for example, if I asked "which of you has a red card?" and only the 2nd person raised their hands, it would be:
    1st person: Queen of Spades
    2nd person: 3 of Diamonds
    3rd person: Ace of Clubs
    4th person: 5 of Spades
    Am I understanding this correctly?

  • @BunniBuu
    @BunniBuu 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yay Mr. singingbanana

    • @BunniBuu
      @BunniBuu 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      ALTERNATIVELY: You could ask for the exact suit of each of their cards, allowing you to use a code such as
      000 100 200 301 101 201 302 102 202 303 103 203 311 121 131 221 231 321 332 223 233 3
      which would let you find any card in a deck of up to 64 cards when giving only 3 cards out (a fourth card would simply make it even easier to calculate where in the sequence you are and would not affect the trick).

    • @BunniBuu
      @BunniBuu 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      One last note: Where the sequence is cut DOES matter but only for the "loop back around". I... don't really know how to explain this because it's 3am for me but if anyone was crazy enough to try it, they would figure it out in practice. However, it would only affect 7.69% of trials, you would have a coin flip's chance of being correct anyway, and if you are incorrect for the first card you will at least be able to catch yourself and get all of the others correct.
      It is possible to choose an appropriate point to cut off the sequence with a tiny bit of effort on a case-by-case basis.

    I got it with 16 cards but how it is done with 48 as he said. There are only enough aces for 32 cards if you have 2 per 16.
    And even than how do I know if I'm in the part starting with the ace of clubs or in the one starting with (he didn't said that but how do you would want to get to more than 16 cards) the ace of spades?

    • @scottmacs
      @scottmacs 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At 5:56 Brian says, "There are three copies of each of the cards." You'll need three identical full decks to build one 48 card deck made of the same 16 card set repeated three times.
