- The only way into the world’s most exclusive club is to solve a challenge from the Demon of Reason. Can you get into the party?
--
Once a year, thousands of logicians descend into the desert for Learning Man. At the center of that gathering is the world’s most exclusive club, where under the full moon the annual logician’s rave takes place. The entry is guarded by the Demon of Reason, and the only way in is to solve one of his dastardly challenges. Can you get into the rave? Edwin Meyer shows how.

He needs the money

Finally a situation where we won't die for not solving.
Phew. I live this time
We’ll die of embarrassment and fomo if we miss out on that party with our friends.
You wouldn't have died in the three aliens riddle, you just would have been stranded.

It's confirmed! All of Ted Ed's riddles live in the same universe.
That explains why every single human being there is a flawless logician.
Either all the riddles share a universe or each artstyle is a different universe maybe?
You got a heart, IT'S CANON.
Yep. The Demon of Reasoning has his own series too in Ted Ed.
maybe multiple realms?
I'm surprised the demon didn't steal anyone's clothes

Hi friend, I set out on a road and opened this channel, if you add a nice comment, you will be a great support :)
Love the TeD-Ed Cinematic Universe where everyone thinks perfectly logically and talks in riddles all the time. I would love to see a movie built around the entire premise of some random dude getting teleported or something into this world and then having to figure out A, wtf is with everyone, and B, how to escape. Then when I watch I can be like “OOH I REMEMBER THAT RIDDLE” like how I knew every single streamer and game reference in Family Guy.

That's the basis for the Layton games. The dudes arrives somewhere where everyone is constantly giving him puzzles to solve.
Ted-Ed: *mentions logic or reasoning*
Demon of Reason: My time has come.
"Logicians wearing at least two different colors" made it sound like they were wearing multicolored masks.
Yup, thought the same...
Same. I was rather expecting some "gotchya" moment.
Worse, it made it seem that the clothes people wore (and that of course all could see) were a key part to solving. A terrible mistake by the writers.
Yup. This was terribly worded.
Yes, I was also thinking that.

@@gracie5813 it's a play on Burning Man, a music festival that takes place in the desert where they burn a giant man. That's my understanding of it, anyway 😂
And it's also sort of a play on Ted-Ed. Ted -> Man, Ed -> Learning
...Not sure though.
Ohhhhh
Goodness, so many crossovers. Apparently, everyone is a logician.
Ted Ed has a universe confirmed!
I love how the demon of reason is now a character and can pop up in any video if he pleases
A youtuber goes to a party. He is running late. But at last, he arrives. Outside, he finds his 23 friends waiting in a circle.
The most unrealistic thing about this is me having 23 close friends
You guys got friends?
for me it'd be being a logician
Glad that I didn't give up and managed to solve this. 😊 Took me some time before realizing that there has to be at least a pair for each color. From there, the riddle became easier.
I knew the answer before they even said the question. realize you have green eyes, ask for the demon to leave
*the answer to all riddles i guess*

Is it just me or this riddle sounds incredibly soothing. I rewatched it a couple of times because it is strangely relaxing.
Logicians is having a party
Pandemic causing Virus: Let me introduce myself
Demon distributing mask: Hey
And they werent allowed to take them of.
very convenient
The pandemic didn’t cause the virus, the virus caused the pandemic.
@@colleen9493 That is what he said.
@@macaroon_nuggets8008 no he didn’t. Read the comment
I was thrown by:
"Each person is wearing a mask of exactly one color"
and then:
"Logicians wearing at least 2 different colors gained entry at the fourth bell"
Yeah, got confused around that part as well.
And 4 people in red got entry first
But later he said only 3
I did 23-4-4 and concluded to 7🤦🏻♀️
@@ForteExpresso he said that a number of red people got in, and he never specifically said how many
"Each person is wearing a mask of exactly one color" =/= "There is exactly one mask of each color". You've just demonstrated the Fallacy of the Converse, assuming the reverse relation is true. The purpose of the statement was to clarify that nobody was wearing mixed-color masks. Your basic logic is clearly flawed if you fell into that simple fallacy.
@@jeconiahjoelmichaelsiregar7917 guess he isn’t going to let this guy in. After all he did make a whole video about that.

(After 2 mins)
3. Omg what was the solution again?
@@jammukashmirvlogger ur getting reported for self-promoting
i love riddles where 'it must be solvable via logic' is specified, and contributes to the answer.
So this is the green eyes riddle, just on steroids.
And the hat color riddle
It's actually more simplified, at least in my opinion, since there are more eyes that you can confirm it works.
I actually got this one because I’ve seen the green eye riddle, my notes even say “must be 2 or more of each color” and “no matching sets of 4”
The learning man sounds fun. Also, it’s the fallacy demon!
I'm mad that they didn't get Jack to voice the demon in the riddle and had Addison just read over the demon's lines 🤣
Plot twist: the demon still didnt let you in after you solved the riddle because you didnt have green eyes
You need green eyes to leave the party 😈
ah yes never gets old
This is the best Ted Ed riddle, just because of all the cameos, and of course, The Demon of Reason
Ted-ED: Can you solve-
Me: Skips to the end to see the solution
At least try. Some are easier to solve
2:04 pretty sure you forgot to say " or will you become the demon of reason's party snack"
Ted ed riddle:comes out
He asks: Can you solve it
Me : skips 10 seconds
**I know the answer

Who else would’ve expected the narrator to say “Guess right and you can party. Guess wrong and the demon burns you.”
4:51 I knew the demon looked familiar.
man, i wish the demon of reason's VA explained the rules of the riddle, his voice is so cool ;-;
FINALLY A NEW RIDDLE
Finally, a riddle involving everyone’s favourite character!
I got it! I almost always manage to solve Ted-Ed's riddles! Now if only I could remain as clever when things actually matter.
@5:01 damn I got so excited and thought there was another demon of reason video, turns out I already watched it
0:31 Oh hey, I remember the Demon of Reason! His logical fallacy videos were pretty good. All jokes aside though, this one's pretty good too.
Hey! The Deamon of Reason's Back!
(That guy's really cool.)

Demon's gestures & moments were one the highlights of this video! Animations are soooo guuudd!
Bring him a TV, wait until he enters the TV, then you join the party.
Aye the demon of reason makes a comeback.
I love that character.
Honestly the demon seems like a pretty great guy, let's invite him to the party
doesn’t seem like a lot but i have been watching TedEd for 4 yrs y’all r amazing :)
So basically it took ten minutes for the 23 people to enter, plus the amount of time it took for the demon to explain all these goddamn rules
demon of reason is probably the greatest character of all time
Logicians watch Ted-Ed riddles
Nobody:
Demon: imma give this logician a mix of two Ted-Ed riddles.
The demon is British: "I shall challenge this logician with a mix of TWO Ted-ed riddles."
Oh cool the demon of reason is in this one. That's awesome. This gave me flashbacks to my proof by induction maths classes from leaving cert maths
Let’s be very clear: the hardest part of this riddle is internalizing the idea that someone could base their own decisions on the presumption that other people act logically.
Demon of Reason crossover - loving this Ted-Ed deep lore
I have to say, the whole "Logicians wearing at least two different colors" part was kind of confusing, since it was established that each mask only has one color. It probably could have been worded to be less ambiguous.
But bravo, TED, this was a toughie!
One of my favorite recurring characters. Right next to 1/3 in decimal form.
When that demon started talking at the end I was scared asf
My favourite Ted-Ed character strikes again!
Cant he directly say ,”you are late ma’am you can’t enter now “
Why he wants her to change from blue to red
th-cam.com/video/CUTWYSwE_Uk/w-d-xo.html
Duuude this is a crossover. We got the egg drop riddle, the food battle riddle, and the fuckin man himself the demon of reason
A superb riddle with yet another glitch in the instructions that ruins it. What TED-ED said in the Events section (2:10 in the video):
"4. Logicians wearing at least two different colors gained entry at the 4th bell."
What was meant was actually this:
"4. Some number of people, with at least two different mask colors, gained entry at the 4th bell."
As written, instruction 4 tells us to consider the clothes being worn, opening a Pandora's Box of possible ideas that the logicians might have been keying on, whereas the riddle intends mask color to be the only thing to consider. Item 4 should have used the same wording pattern as Item 2 so that readers would know to think only about mask color, not clothes, not the bell itself perhaps having striped colored paint or numbers (or a flag or banner somewhere, or the guard's clothes), or literally anything at the event that they'd all see clearly.
Demon of Reason reference is great.
I just realized this is just an advance version of the green eyes problem
But I was able to actually understand this Riddle. So this one is the easier one.
Green Eyes using Recursion in such a way that I just don't get it.
@@wariolandgoldpiramid this one presents smaller numbers, making it easier to understand
im convinced that when they make these riddles, they start with the answer then work their way backwards to actually make the riddle
Everyone: Endgame was the most ambitious crossover.
Me:
Thank goodness he's back I love the demon of reason I need a plushie!!!!!!🥳
Only issue I have is that if the first pair don’t get their correct color by chance, it ruins the rest of the inductive reasoning order.
It says they all did it perfectly
They dont do it by chance. If you see 1 color without pair, you are the pair, bc there must be a pair
@@alex2005z however there are two examples in the first round without a pair. If you choose the wrong one, the order is ruined as now someone else will reason they are the nonexistent 3rd for the pair
@@junaidshahzad6803 you will always be able to choose the correct one. lets say in the first round you have 2 yellow and 2 green masks, with you being a green (but you dont know yet).
Now you look around and you will see 2 yellow, and one green.
deduct and you will know you are green, since each color must have at least two masks.
I love that ted has lore now
Demons in stories: Aight let’s eat everyone that comes our way
Demon in this riddle: Aight imma guard the humans
This is such a satisfying problem to solve, because it seems so unaproachable on the first glance, but only requires a couple of key insights to arrive at the solution.
.....sounds like what school promised
I wonder what would happen if schools were to teach like this o_O
@@waluigihentailover6926 you know that meme if [insert smart thing] happened society would be like? Thats what it would be

Am I the only one actually trying to solve these puzzles anymore? 😳 “Omg GrEeN eYEs lol”
Nah I'm with ya
This is logic. It’s the complete opposite of how people online engage. Everyone wants to justify or create the exception to the rule. That doesn’t solve general problems, nor is it logical.
1:34 YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND
Glad that they are expanding the Ted-eD UNIVERSE
This was quite an interesting riddle. Similar to previous riddles, but with the twist that you don't know before hand which colors are available. Fortunately, we have rule 5 which states that it is possible for everyone to figure out what their mask color is, which is really the key to solving this riddle. If this rule weren't included, then it would have been completely impossible. Before solving riddles I like to play around with smaller easier cases. If there was only one person, then that person had to guess the color of their mask from the whole spectrum of colors. If there were two people they could either have the same color masks or different color masks. If they were different, then it would be impossible to guess for the same reason as when you do this with a single person. So you can eliminate that possibility, which means both masks have to be the same color. This is something they can guess in the first round. So in the riddle there are four people in the first round that guess the color of their mask, which means that each person saw someone with a mask color nobody else had, which meant they were wearing that mask color too. So there were two groups of two people with the same color masks in the first round. The second round we get a single group of three people all wearing red masks. Why? Because all three saw that the other two were not leaving in the first round, meaning they both didn't see one but two red masks. And the other red mask they saw was yours. So at the end of the second round seven people left with three differently colored masks. The third round nobody leaves because everyone is seeing more than three of the same color masks for every mask color. In the fourth round five people leave for every mask color that leaves which is said to be at least two. So at least ten people leave in that round. This means that at most six people are left for the fifth round. None of those final six could have left in the fourth round, because then one person would remain for the fifth round. It is also impossible that they leave at a later round, because each round one more person leaves per mask color and in the sixth round this means seven people. So the final six people had to leave with a single mask color during the fifth round.
TLDR: 6
To watch the demon just have a perfectly good riddle voice 😂
3:20 I feel like I’ve seen this answer before. Something to do with green eyes but I can’t put my finger on it :)

As a mathematician and a DJ, the setup of the riddle is too attractive for me
Me: feels smart for a moment

WHERE SMART
Demon of Reason is here! I love this now
Hey, was this one written specifically for everyone who saw the Green Eyes riddle? Because you basically have to use the same logic as that one to determine how people are able to leave, then do a bunch of math based on that to determine how many people are left at various points.
We need another episode with the demon of reason!! I love his voice actor and the animations I love them so much
Solution:
Step 1: Confirm you have green eyes
Step 2: Ask the demon to enter the party
also, this is really similar to the green eyes problem
also, this used to be called the Logicians Rave riddle, idk why they changed the title name
Hey, demon of reason. I can't wait to see your next explanation video
So corona has its entry in ted ed riddles .....
Waited sooo long for a riddle 👏👏♥️♥️
