    24:47 Glass usually shatters because there is already a microscopic crack in it and an external force causes the crack to spread.
    I'm not a glass maker, but I think deliberately making a flaw like this in the glass is possible.

    The problem with the tug of war strategy is it relies heavily on traction, and you're not going to get that on grass. If you notice when they went down all of them were sliding. Compare that to the experiment on concrete where they just slowly stumbled forward. Not doubting that the results would be the same, but voicing my concern for the method.

    For the tug of war strategy, it's actually how professional players do it. There are 2 problems with the test:
    1. The players lie back and stay in position FIRST before it starts, and you don't just lie down, you hold on to it with ALL your strength.
    2. It works because of the surface, grass has NO friction whatsoever, not sure how cement affects it but professional games are played on rubber-like surfaces
    But to your credit the actors in the show didn't bend low enough. Professional players go WAY lower from what I've seen. So yes, it probably wouldn't work either way

    I like your strategies in the video but I just want to point out in the first game is that in the original squid game, instead of "red light, green light", the doll actually said "mugunghwa kkochi pieot seumnida" (which is like counting from 1 to 10) so the players could anticipate when the doll is going to turn around, so i think a good strategy is to sprint in the first few seconds and then quickly slow down and use your strategy to stabilize when the doll turn around. (Obviously the best one is to avoid being in debt and avoid playing the game)

Though it becomes most obvious when he goes to the second glass and both drops sound exactly the same.

    First, when it comes to the glass test there was a flaw, you supported the glass on three sides, this makes the glass stronger overall meaning it was not the same, in squid game it was only supported on 2 sides, giving it a massive weakness in the center, second they never stated that the glass was annealed, they simply said it wasn't tempered meaning they could have gotten sugar glass or some other weak substitute to make it break

      I'm pretty sure the tempered glass would still hold just fine. Those are thick pieces of glass. Look at how much effort it takes to bust through even a car side window. People drown because they can't even come close to breaking them when trying with all of their might, even in full on adrenaline fight or flight strength boost mode. That's why they sell those specialty emergency glass breaking hammers, because you have to apply that force in a specific way to break it. And that's just 1/4 inch thick tempered glass. That slab of glass he was jumping around on is probably thick enough to build glass _floors_ with. Maybe not _an up to code_ glass floor, but building codes usually require stuff to be overbuilt to accommodate for the occasional horse or average American tourist walking across it :P

    Actual tug of war strategy is to move your pull in unison to pull. If you pay attention in the show they actually do this.
    There's also other things they didnt show like you heaviest person should be at the back and wrap the rope.

    • @DyslecticAttack
      @DyslecticAttack 2 ปีที่แล้ว +147

      Also, the grass will be a big factor. The difference between a gym floor, concrete, or grass will always affect the grip you have (On the concrete it looked more like people couldn't hold the position instead of their feet slipping and making it impossible like on grass). It still can be overpowered, and you'd need extreme coordination, but a lot of the strategy does seem to be based on how you maximise grip and pull of your team.

      No, as you shift you're weight to the other glass it will be experiencing more of your weight than the other one, it's more the shock of instantaneously receiving the full weight of a person than the weight distribution. Plus, if you jump with your feet spread wide apart, your weight will probably be distributed even better than walking as you're putting all of your weight on one point at the edge of the glass. The glass is probably rigged to explode either though.

    The tug of war strategy, they are already prepared by the time they say go to immediately throw their backs to look up to the sky. It's a lot of coordination and trust. The team that was doing it for you, didnt seem to trust each other and werent really pushing back at all. They just kept getting controlled right at the start. Even their feet werent split at the start lol. They also didn't lean NEARLY far enough back.

For rope placement it was under the back arm like close to your body and your lead arm out forward bent.

After maybe a sec of release you quickly try to grab the rope and lean back. Worked pretty well

    In the first game, I would literally hug the rightmost exterior wall (though facing away from it so I guess backward hugging?). By leaning against it, you could get greater muscle control and move forward at a slow but stable pace while making stopping easier. Further, the robot's head turns counter-clockwise so you have maximized the amount of time you have to react by being always being at between the 5 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions.

    @12:46 we do this all the time at my summer camp. Now I never watched Squid Games so I don't know if the placement was on purpose or if they chose their own spot, but here's how you win every time (80% of the time) in 8 steps:
    1) Positioning players is everything: get the strongest &/or heavest people at the begging & end (and middle if you have enough), they will be your anchors so you don't move. But make sure the strongest is definitely in the front b/c they will be doing 50% of the work.
    2) Imagine you're moving a couch, it's a lot easier to push the couch than to pull the couch. That's what tug-of-war is, "pulling the couch". Instead of walking backward, the first 2 guys turn so that they are facing the direction they are pulling and "push the couch".
    The rest of your team should do it the regular way to help stabilize, it's easy to lose balance when someone is pulling you back.
    3) Staggering does help, it keeps everyone balanced & distributes the force of the other team evenly, this is why you have the front, middle, & end covered by strong people (if you don't have a middle anchor, the rest of the team's strength will make up for that)
    4) strong-willed people need to be in front (also in back if possible) and everyone gets in a ready stance. @11:30 On the losing team, that guy in front didn't follow the strategy & everyone else was very relaxed, while the winning team always was focused & in a ready stance to pull at any second.
    The first 10 secs is important, most teams will blow all their energy, so anchor down and wait till the other team wastes their adrenaline burst (while making small, but meaningful, pulls if you can without losing ground).
    And this is where it all comes together: advance & maintain ground!
    5) the first 2-3 guys will immediately start to "push the couch" to offset the pulling force from the other team, everyone else just makes sure that their team isn't losing ground (& pulling if they can do so without losing the ground they have/will gain b/c of the "couch pusher" guys in front).
    The strong-willed guy is the one who will keep the team in sync and say when to pull. Since he's in front, he will know when the other team stops pulling at full strength b/c the rope will go slack from the other team's side, & he wouldn't mistake it for a team member since no one else is in front of him.
    Now that you survived the first 10secs, it's time to haul ass!
    6) Everyone will use their full strength to pull. You'll need constant motion since your team is weaker, that's what the first 2-3 guys & end guy are for. everyone else can just pull with all their strength or they can go heve-ho, the sudden burst will throw the other team off balance (which will physically translate to the alternating pattern of pulling and anchoring down). Or if you do decide to just keep the momentum do it fast so that the other team can't recover.
    Some people do not have stamina so they need a 3-sec rest, the staggering & heavy guys help a lot by balancing the team by providing more tension in favor of the team, that way everyone can put more energy into pulling when they do get their strength back.
    Again; if you can't advance, maintain ground. Since the other team will be weak when you pull, it will make it easier to do so.
    7) Now the real trick is to do this fast & strong, imagine that the game isn't supposed to take more than 20secs. Towards the end when you see the other team is slipping/losing ground, just give it everything you got without stopping.
    8) finally: don't worry about what everyone else is doing, just focus on your part & what you need to do. Focusing on everyone else will stop you from being purposeful with your movements.

    But as was especially evident at the end of the segment in the SG show, all of the panes where rigged either way to fail at the end of the time limit, so it would be sensible to assume that the “wrong” tiles would be triggered to break even if someone did safely place themselves on one of them. The explosive end effect in-universe would likely be down to two purposes - 1. Make sure the tempered ones did indeed break, and 2. Show off!
    The annealed ones would need less of a kick to break anyway. However, tempered glass do explode into a myriad of tiny pieces quite spectacularly when tapped hard enough in the right (or wrong, depending of your intended outcome) spot.

      @@33pandagamer no, I did not get it wrong… I mentioned that the annealed ones need less power to break than the tempered ones. At the end of the game the show-off finale was to make sure every single pane failed, annealed _and_ tempered, and that in a spectacular fashion (which indeed also served as a plot point in the next segment), so the conclusion is that every single pane would have been rigged to begin with. However, my point was that even if the contestants would have safely placed themselves on an annealed pane it could easily have been made to fail remotely. One could even argue that this may have been the case all along since we do see some contestants briefly standing with no apparent progressive failure on the “weak” spots for a second or so before the sudden failure.
      Of course, a passive failure point, such as a strategically placed nub or similar could have been in place for the weak tiles, despite the rigging for the finale.

      Tempered glass is neat stuff. My grandma used to have a sliding glass door that was a dual pane tempered glass model. One day, there was something like a small earthquake that caused one of the panes to shatter, but the other one stayed in place. But the cool thing was that the tempered glass panel was fit so snugly that all those tiny blocks of glass were all stuck in place and the unbroken one held everything in place. It was so cool she wound up just getting some sort of clear plastic sticky sheeting, kind of like really wide packing tape, and just taping over one side to keep it from falling apart and it just became an art piece (until one day sh did come out to the porch and saw that it had finally given up and collapsed in a heap.)

    9:45 that's how real rope pullers do it, however the slippery grass doesn't allow this strategy to work
    (that's not exactly how it's done, but the correct ideas are there)

    In the case of the glass bridge, you can see at a point that the panels can be shattered by demand (both tempered and not). Who can say they don't have a pressure sensor and an breaking mechanism to actually shatter them?

    Your tug of war strategy would definitely work. I'm not sure how well, for the size difference, in the show. But with 5 minutes of research you would learn that every professional tug of war team pulls with a similar method.

    In the glass bridge section, you try the jumping strategy between panel to panel(24:07 onward), and prove it as a reliable strategy. Though while jumping, you also walk off the platform. This act can carry your momentum off and not fully show the true effect. At 22:59 you demonstrate what would happen with a blunt stop on the platform. I know stopping on the platform would most likely not make a difference to the outcome of the strategy, though I think it is worth testing. Best regards and amazing video.

      But in AIB they explain how the games were won quite well as Arisu is the one coming up with the solutions. For example, the first game, he explains he calculated how big is the house and he realized the layout as he saw the map and got the idea which way they have to go. (same with tag game, light bulb game, finding the witch or the tunnel game).
      Tho I would like to see him finding out solution to hide and seek game, because according to AIB wiki, every game in Borderland has a solution where no one dies, but this specific one seems to not have one.

    the glass one, you are right it can hold your weight while jumping, but as you also said, its likely thicker so the actors have a harder time getting hurt. so in the show, either the panels are sabotaged in some way(small crack premade in a corner or something) or they are thinner, so they are easier to break with the weight of a Korean person(or almost any person who is not a child)

    • @azzarnthelizard
      @azzarnthelizard ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Kinda late but its also supposing that the panel are actually made with ‘’normal’’ glass. If the composition is modified on those plate you could easily lower the resistance or even use glass made from sugar like in movies but then it could be discover by tasting both. Either way the thickness of the glass isnt the only important factor.

    For the tug of war, there was one glaring difference (besides surface, which you show was tested by another youtuber on concrete with a similar conclusion). The difference is the scale. The length of the rope and the length the people have before the reach the chasm. I would be interested to see if the scale on a more grippy surface would make it so that the normal method runs out of gas before it can win versus the lean back method.

    Most of these experiments were great! Except for the tug of war one.😅 Tug of war isn't all about strength, its more about proper stance and positioning of everyone on the rope, stength, force endurance, and strategy. I'm not an expert or anything but I can definitely see the overconfidence thing being true (for unexpecting laymans, especially when you consider the dynamics in the show). The people in your experiment also weren't working cohesive together, and the grassy location didn't have any traction as well🤷🏽‍♀️

    The problem with your testing is that you tested the step forward strategy when they were even. At the point they switched strategy, they had a lead so they could step forward more. Also, the other team was leaning back further and pulling harder so they lose their balance and therefore their traction.

    There's another strategy I'd use with the marbles game, due to the fact you have 20 marbles. You play a game where who ever can't add marbles to the pouch loses. You can add 1, 2 or 3 marbles per turn. As long as you submit to a number that's 4 or 8, 12, 16 there is always a move that makes you able to put down the 20th marble. Meaning if your opponent starts you automatically win. If you start you'll have to just hope your opponent gets to a number that isn't the mentioned numbers
