      Is there an issue? It's perfectly logical to receive all information possible if it's being presented to you with no consequences. If there's no risk for receiving the additional clues, why wouldn't you take them?

    Alternate logic you can use:
    *The third clue must be important.
    *Therefore, there must be a wrong answer where the last two digits are identical.
    *The only set of factors that meets that criteria is 1, 6, 6.
    *If 1, 6, 6 is the wrong answer, there must be another set of factors with the same sum.

      If you know the answer after two hints it benefits the listeners more to not ask for a third clue (It eliminates [2,2,9] and [1,6,6] instead of just [1,6,6]). Plus the listeners also get a huge benefit when you ask for a 3rd question when they know you wouldn't if you already had the solution.

      That really depends, Bradley... If she knew the answer after the second clue, and she left right then and there, her companions would have 6 possible answers with no way to determine the right one. Since she doesn't know what the third clue is, that clue might've been exactly what they needed to narrow it down to 1 answer.

    • @Applest2oApples
      @Applest2oApples 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bradley Good point, however she does not know what the clue is before asking for it. That means can't know how many possibilities a third clue could eliminate. It would be in her best interest to ask for a third clue to eliminate as many as possible.

      She knew what number hallway she went through. After adding up the digits, she saw that two of them were the same, 13, while the rest were different. Since she already knew her hallway number, she could have left, if all of the sums were different. However, knowing she went through hallway 13, she didn't know which combination if 13, therefore she had to ask for a third clue. She wouldn't have needed that third clue if all of the sums were different, because she went through one hallway, and she knew which hallway it was.

    This actually the Three Daughters problem. A classic.
    A student asks his teacher: How old are your three daughters?
    The teacher says the product of their ages is 36.
    The student says this is not enough information.
    The teacher says if you add them up you get my house number.
    The student says this is still not enough information.
    So the teacher says the eldest one plays the piano.

    • @IFA1
      @IFA1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +DrGerbils It doesn't have to, because it fits 1 digit per box. If it did fit 2 digits per box...how do I move on to the next digit box? Where on the keypad is the space/tab bar? If it were capable of 2 digits per box then it would be 6 digits meaning most importantly and finally where is 0? Because if it's 2 digits then there has to be a 0 in front of any number less than 10, and numbers with 0 like 10, 20,etc (Ex....A date written numerically is commonly written mm/dd/yyyy 8 digits. If today is March 3 2016 I'd have to put 03/03/2016). If it wasn't there then the number placed like for example the code 557 would then need to be typed 55, 55, 77 in order to move to the next digit place but the computer will see it as seventy-seven not seven. So no its 1 digit place per box because of the absence of 0 or some form of moving to the next box while filling in the space....sorry :p.

      Yes. I would happily be the undead dictator wizard magician who ate the fire crystal and is somehow a cheating royal who can’t figure out what this troll wants. And learning about gold and silver coins inside a temple that will be found with Robo ant guards that have an ancient virus that are trying cross a river, after I eat some secret sauce while killing vampires that are pilgrims that are death racing with a huge indestructible blobs. With rebel supplies and mondrian squares over a bridge jousting with dragons and alien probes finding sea monsters guarding treasure and getting into jail, then fighting giant cats and werewolves. And collecting stolen rubies and counterfeit coins while going on a rescue mission across dimensions and time. On a airplane with pirates eating eggs and talking with Einstein and three gods. On lockers with planets and on those planets have prisoner boxes with endangered fish inside. AND ALL OF THAT...with a frog that can save you from that poisonous mushroom

      Looking at the keypad I (wrongly) assumed that all three numbers are single digit. So it can be 6 6 1 or 3 3 4 or 2 2 9. Since she new the answer by second clue, but went for the third clue to help other guys, it must be 3 3 4.

    • @kunjupulla
      @kunjupulla 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Spencer Geller she asked the third clue because 3 means she started from the first clue and ended in the third, i.e, 1 to 3 (1-3) which can be considered 13.

    There is a small problem with the riddle. Zara could ask a 3rd clue for the benefit of the others. The riddle says her logic is perfect, not the others’. It doesn’t break the riddle, but 13 appearing twice is not the only reason she might ask the third clue.

  • @aarnzoo5124

      EDIT: Maybe, it's because you haven't considered the third clue. As said in the video, if she hadn't asked for the last clue she might have gone away sooner, but given that she did, the only possible solution is 2*2*9.

      but she did ask for the third clue which means the sum wasn't 10 but some other number
