It’s a good day to be a pirate. Amaro and his four mateys - Bart, Charlotte, Daniel, and Eliza have struck gold - a chest with 100 coins. But now, they must divvy up the booty according to the pirate code - and pirate code is notoriously complicated. Can you help come up with the distribution that Amaro should propose to make sure he lives to tell the tale? Alex Gendler shows how.

More important question: Why did Pirates fight over buried treasure when the real treasure was in the friendships they made along the way?
That really sounds like something a 10 year old who watches one piece say.

@@servantofthemostmerciful7985 but he isnt wrong
Pirates usually divided their treasure fairly amongst themselves after repairs to the ship and restocking supplies each pirate got 1 share except the captain who got 2, the quartermaster who got 1 and a half, and the carpenter and surgeon who each got 1 and a quarter. This is in general each crew had slightly different rules but the pattern exists
"1 coin ensures their support..."

Yes they got blinded by coins

Funny that actual pirates were pretty much ancoms from how they ran their ships.
The comment "me" is actually the video "Amaro," and the comment "Amaro" is actually the pirates. 1:25
I think it was because each pirate wants as much gold as possible.
Actually, that would work too, since Bart would be the only one to say nay since he would get 99 if he was captain
Daniel would say yes because it's definitely more than one, so would the other two since Bart would become captain by default if Amaro would die and they wouldn't get anything since it would become a tie
So technically, yes it would work

Yeah
That’s obvious
If they were not great mathematicians Amaro's offer would still work because Bart and Charlotte would still vote yes because they wouldn't risk getting killed (that's their primary objective)

Yeah I think this riddle is flawed.
Even with the 98/1/1 split the other two pirates would know this is the outcome that gets the two yes's so their nays are wasted.
@@RH-nk7eothe riddle already says that the pirates are selfish and bloodthirsty. Amaro wants to get as many coins as can be, so if he can get 98 then he'll go with it
well giving everyone 20 does NOT result in being thrown overboard
If he gives 20 coins each, everyone except for bart would say yarr
@@southfacetarivid5214 that's the thing. Amaro wouldn't do that because that wouldn't be maximizing his profits
However, if the five of them would be working together again in the future, it now becomes in Amaro's interest to ensure the cooperation of all the crew members and avoid resentment, which makes the case for splitting equally or a less imbalanced distribution. Probably a variation on an infinite prisoner's dilemma.
Only reason they would make it anywhere to begin with is since they are all "perfectly logical", they would basically know what the others of the crew would think and have success as long as they dont try to go off-script and just cooperate

Bonus :
Now let's say in case of a tie, the captain walks the plank and the next crewmate becomes captain, what would Amaro do?
If only Daniel and Eliza remain, Eliza votes Nay to Daniel's plan so she remains alone with 100 coins in pocket. Therefore Daniel wants to avoid being captain at all costs to survive. Charlotte knows that she will therefore have Daniel's support without even needing to offer him money, while Eliza will always vote Nay in hopes of being the last one alive, so Charlotte proposes to keep all the gold herself. To beat that offer, Bart needs to be slightly more generous to get two other votes than his own. Since Charlotte will vote Nay in any case so she can leave with all the gold, he needs to bribe Daniel and Eliza by making them a better offer than Charlotte's, offering one coin to each. Finally, Amaro also needs a total of 3 votes, by making a more interesting offer for 2 of his crewmates. The easiest to bribe is Charlotte, with one coin as she would get nothing if Bart comes to power, and then he needs to bribe either Daniel or Eliza with 2 coins, which is one coin more than Bart's offer, leaving him with 97 coins and high risks of mutiny.
Bonus bonus:
Let’s say we have the same scenario, except the captain isn’t allowed to vote.
If Daniel and Eliza are the only 2, then Daniel’s plan is garunteed to fail since Eliza holds the only vote.
Charolette has a similar problem. She needs both Daniel and Eliza to vote Yarr for her plan to be accepted, but Eliza will still vote Nay.
Bart actually has a chance. More than a chance really, since neither Charolette or Daniel want the vote to fail, so they both will vote Yarr without any prompting from Bart. This means Bart will be able to keep all the coins.
Now Amaro needs to secure 3 votes to live. He won’t be able to get Bart’s vote, so he needs the rest of the crew on his side. Since none of them get any coins if it moves to Bart, he just needs to offer 1 coin to Charolette, Daniel, and Eliza.
@@MatthewMorris6148 Nice, might as well do
Bonus bonus bonus :
The captain cannot vote, but in case of a tie he remains the captain.
If Daniel is captain, Eliza votes Nay to keep all the gold for herself and he dies. So if Charlotte is captain, she has Daniel's vote in any case, Eliza votes Nay but it's a tie so Charlotte gets to keep all the gold. Bart needs 2 votes, Charlotte will vote Nay to keep the whole booty to herself, so Bart offers 1 coin to Daniel and 1 coin to Eliza.
Amaro has to gather 2 votes, so he offers 1 coin to Charlotte and 2 coins to either Eliza or Daniel.
We can see that the offers are exactly the same as in the first Bonus (and it keeps on going the same if there are more than 5 crew members)
We could also try bonus variations of the 4 situations we've already studied but assuming that in case of a tie between the captain's offer and another's, a crewmate will vote Yarr instead of Nay for the captain
@@arkanys3401 Sure, why not? -I feel like these need labels though because “bonus bonus bonus bonus” is starting to get a bit ridiculous lol.-
Edit: I’ve changed my mind, we should just call them “Bonus*X” where X is the number of Bonus’s.
The original scenario but the pirates aren’t nearly as bloodthirsty.
If only Eliza and Daniel remain will result in Daniel getting all the gold and Eliza getting none.
If Charlotte is captain, she gets 99 gold and offers 1 gold to Eliza.
If Bart is captain, he just needs to offer 1 gold to either (not both) Daniel or Eliza.
Amaro just needs to offer 1 gold to 2 different pirates who aren’t Bart.
Why is no one talking about deez nuts?
@@MatthewMorris6148Bonus*5:
Original scenario but once a pirate other than the captain says "yarr" (first pirate in the order to say "yarr" after captain), all the subsequent pirates in that order must say "yarr".
If only D and E were there, D will keep all the coins and so if C, D and E were there, C would have to give a coin to E. Now if B, C, D and E were there, B would have to give 2 coins to E and could keep the rest 98 with him. If all of them were there, A would have to give 1 coin to D, 3 coins to E and could keep the rest 96 with him.

Things like this is why pirates established how much they'd get as a contract before the crew is even formed. The typical arrangement is crew get one share, quartermaster gets one and a half shares, and captain gets two shares.

Studying game theory would help
Timothy Heys what is game theory? some sort of math analysis?
+Sniper
Game theory is analysis of "Games". Not all "games", however, are games in the regular sense, for example this, and the prisoner's dilemma. For more information:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium
Sniper game theory is a youtuber
Amaro seems to be forgetting that the "game" is ongoing, extending beyond the distribution of gold. There's definitely mutiny afoot.
So that means Amaro could get beheaded by the rest of the stubborn scallywags, in his sleep.
Oddly enough, it barely changes if you flip so ties reject proposals. You'd think it would, since Eliza can now maximize her profits by forcing Daniel to walk the plank (even if his Plan is for E to get 100 while keeping nothing for himself, she'll make him walk anyway out of bloodthirst).
So Daniel is extra-motivated to NOT become the Captain. Therefore, Charlotte can actually keep all the coins for herself, and he'll still vote Yar to save himself.
Therefore, Bart needs bribe Charlotte and Daniel with only 1 coin apiece, giving Charlotte nothing.
Amaro then needs to give either Daniel or Eliza only 1 more coin -- 2 total -- while bribing Charlotte with only 1. He'd still get to keep 97 coins!
In your Plan C where Charlotte keeps all the gold Daniel would actually say no because he would get 0 either way. Doesn't change what the solution is but still felt like mentioning it
@@ronorchid793 voting no would ensure his death in the next round, failing his primary objective. Bloodlust doesn't work for him there.
@@connormcmahon7980 oh sorry then
@@connormcmahon7980 No, it would not ensure hai death. When only Daniel and Eliza remain, Daniel can propose that Eliza gets all 100. And unless Eliza has a bloodlust, she will let that pass.
Because there is nothing specified about bloodlust, Charlotte is better off giving atleast 1 coin to Daniel.
Which in turn means that Bart needs to give Daniel 2 coins and Eliza 1 coin to get the vote passed.
Which in turn means that Amaro should keep 97, give 1 to Charlotte and 2 to Eliza.
Giving 2 to Daniel no longer works. As even Bart would offer 2 to Daniel. And since we don’t know about bloodlust, to be safe Amarro would need to give 3 to Daniel.
So, it’s best for Amarro to give 1 to Charlotte and 2 to Eliza
@@connormcmahon7980 You are wrong. Each pirate KNOWS what is at stake for each other pirate. If Daniel gets 0 gold either way, it is stated that he'd rather see the captain walk the plank. It is CHARLOTTE who needs to think about survival first and foremost, and Daniel KNOWS that. Charlotte would not risk NOT giving him the entire treasure in exchange for her own life.
I think, realistically, they'd skip this process all together and fight for the gold.
Nah, historically, pirate crews traditionally had an agreement of splitting loot evenly, with the Captain getting a share and a half, and the other important command staff (quartermaster, carpenter, boatswain, gunner, etc) getting a share and a quarter. Mostly because, historically, pirate crews were close-knit groups with similar outlooks, rather then a forced assembly of sociopaths.
If they did that, they would die, or the crew would split up, resulting in the only crews to remain be the ones that didnt fight about it and did it fairly. Or very short lasting crews constantly.
+RomLoneWolf23 also pirates never used a plank. that was a myth.
Ragnarok Sora Tell that to William Smith, Captain of the British sloop Blessing.
The instances are rare, and some aren't even proven, but walking the plank has been documented, which is the whole reason it was there for Charles Ellms and Robert Louis Stevenson to make popular enough for Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp.
But .... The Pirates Code ! Nay Forget !
“Each pirate is an expert in logic deduction.”
*Can’t distribute gold evenly*
Why would they want to? When you have all of the power, you want to keep as much of it as you can. They're pirates.
Plus there is the assumption where..(I feel lazy to describe it) just watch the video again..
@@pikminman13 it's a bit contradictory in nature. Being greedy and deceitful don't really align with logic.
@@amanilee7708 Being logical merely means they can make perfect decisions towards whatever their goal is. They can each make a perfect decision that puts them in the best spot possible, whether or not they care about others isn't testing for logicality. They don't think impulsively, but rather think out the entire scenario for what best suits them.
It is not that they cannot, it is that they do not want to. Can I call you illogical if you would take 98 gold coins over 1 gold coin?
Finally, the first riddle I solved.
Taking that class in Game Theory finally became useful in real life :D

Not yet!
But to Elizabeth, there is no difference between Amaro and Charlotte becoming captains. She will get one coin anyway:(
So i don't know how bloodthirsty these pirates are but just for fun Elizabeth might vote Narrr!
I think it is better to give one to Charlotte and two to Elizabeth. Amaro can get 97 and be 100% safe
The thing is, if she votes NAY, the captain becomes Bart, who will give one coin to Daniel and none to Elisa. Yes, she would gain the same if Charlotte became the captian, but that won't happen because Bart will have Daniel's support

Genius
I think more information was needed before solving this one; you made it seem like Eliza's one vote was enough for her to just throw Daniel overboard.
At first I was confused by the answer too. Then I recalled that the one making the proposal votes as well. It's a very important detail. Otherwise.Elizabeth would have no incentive to say 'Yarr' at any time and Amaro would get away with all 100 gold.

"Eliza says nar" now the ship is just floating there

Well, the actual pirate code was: “every man an equal share”. So 20 each and everyone’s happy. They were smart enough to avoid this situation.
I think the captain and bursar got slightly more, like 1.5 and 1.25 or something?
Avg cgp grey fan
There could be a modification of the game when only remaining pirates vote (except one who proposed the distribution). Then the fourth pirate cannot allow the third one to be killed (because the last one will kill him and take 100%). So the third one may propose distribution 0-0-100-0-0. So the second may propose 0-98-0-1-1 to ensure a positive vote. And the first one may propose either 97-0-1-2-0 or 97-0-1-0-2 to ensure an even vote.
Can I solve it
may be
but I won't try and Watch solution
Charan Katakam Soo relatable
When you get back from school mentally damaged but you still attempt this riddle and have a seizure.
Charan Katakam I kinda solved it, I figured that if I gave 2 pirates 20 coins and the 3rd and the last gets none while I get 60. This way I get at least a lot of gold while ensuring some pirates are still happy and don't try to murder or steal my gold afterwards.
That would work only because Charlotte would say yes to the plan, but that means that Amaro would get less gold. Bart wouldn't vote yes because as long as the turn passes down to him, he can get the most amount of gold. So while yours make sense, it's not the best option.
Bart wouldn't vote yes unless Plan A gives Bart all the gold, but Charlotte, Daniel, and Elizabeth would say no.
basically the first man has to impress the girls for his gold and ....
Obama Meme London Your user picture is broken.
i really thought there was a fly on my screen

What if Amaro is the only pirate that thinks logically and everyone else doesn’t accept just because he gets to most of the gold.
By pleasing Charlotte and Eliza only, Amaro can get 98 gold and give 1 each to Charlotte and Eliza, Charlotte and Eliza knows if Bart becomes captain, they will get nothing, so voting for Amaro's plan is the best choice for them, even if it's 1 coin, the alternative is worse for them. If Amaro gave everyone 20 equal gold, then -
Amaro - Yarr
Bart - Nay
Charlotte - Yarr
Daniel - Yarr
Eliza - Yarr
Because Charlotte and Eliza would never want Bart to be Captain and Daniel will only get 1 gold if Bart is captain, so Daniel also votes Yarr and Bart votes Nay, because if Amaro's plan is rejected, he is next captain and can get 99 gold instead of now 20, but he also knows everyone else will vote yarr, so probably will say Yarr as well. That's loss for Amaro, that's why pleasing Charlotte and Eliza is the best choice for Amaro and voting Yarr for Amaro's plan is the best choice for Charlotte and Eliza in that case. Amaro will never be rejected in this way, because 3 vote Yarr, so what do you mean?
Lol we played this in my game theory class as an example of why game theory isn’t necessarily accurate to real life. You can bet your britches we killed the captain who suggested this plan.
To be fair, it's said that all the pirates know the others think logically, like them. So Amaro would probably know that the others don't think logically.
@@aurorawizard7045 I mean.. it does kind of bring into question whether or not the way they're behaving is truly logical though - after all, if people who are supposedly behaving irrationally forces all of the others to pay them more because of their irrationality.. then they're ultimately doing a better job at maximizing their profits than someone who was behaving supposedly purely logically.. and if they're ultimately getting paid more because of it (especially when the difference in the amount gained vs. the amount potentially lost is so large - I mean, they only need to get 20 gold coins >1/20 of the time to make up for losing 1 gold coin 100% of the time).. then is it really irrational anymore?
It's certainly true that someone that behaves that way would be worse off in a group of people behaving as described in the riddle.. however, the reverse is also true - someone who behaves the way described in the riddle would also perform really terribly in a group of people that don't behave the way described in the riddle, so I don't think it's super clear that it really is the only possible solution.
This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost achieved Nash equilibrium with Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Jack Sparrow as he catapults himself away with all the gold
Amaro: how about we divide the coins into equal piles?
Pirates: ozo.
We didn't deduce what ozo or ulu meant so ulu

Is that a glee reference?

"A chest with 100 coins"
Me, a skyblock player: *Dump it over*
The animation shows a break of the rules of the game. At 0:40 the rules state that at a tie, the coins are divided to plan, but at animation 1:07 it shows Elisa making Daniel walk the plank. There is no voting mechanism where Daniel would have to walk the plank when they are the only 2 left, since there cannot be majority to make him walk the plank (assuming he won’t vote for himself to walk the plank, which would be a break of rule 1).
I noticed that too. Daniel's plan would either get 2 Yay's or a tie. He would only walk the plank if he was suicidal and nay'd his own plan.
i was literally trying to find a comment which mentioned this. I swear i was so confused as well.
That's because if they just told you outright that Eliza can never vote off Daniel they'd be giving you a hint. The idea is that you start off with as little information as is necessary to deduce the outcome, which makes the whole thing more of a puzzle.
Well...
Why not just use rock paper scissors?

Congratulations you have become the shortest pirate captain in history
Looks like your code would get Amaro killed in his sleep by angry crew. This is not how you pirate.
4:26 BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY, AAAAA GAME THEORY. Thanks for watching
I basically came to with the same scenario but had him give #3 two coins and #5 one coin because I misunderstood what you meant by “if any pirate thinks they’ll get the same amount of coin” to be if any pirate thinks they’ll get the same amount as someone else”.

I think splitting the gold evenly works even with all the common knowledge stuff. Here's how I found this out:
Suppose Amaro splits all the gold evenly. Everyone knows that if he's outvoted, the decision will pass to Bart. If Bart still goes logically and uses his 99-0-1-0 plan, Charlotte, Daniel and Eliza will all have less than 20 coins - what they would have gotten if they had agreed to Amaro's 20-20-20-20-20 plan. Since this ensures Amaro's support, he can give Bart 20 coins and not have to worry about him voting "Nay" because of him getting less than 99 coins (what Bart would have gotten if Amaro went overboard). Therefore, the end result of the election with the 20-20-20-20-20 plan would be
Yarr-Nay-Yarr-Yarr-Yarr. Amaro would win the election, stay alive and the distribution would be fair. The fairness is one huge advantage of the 20-20-20-20-20 plan over the 98-0-1-0-1 plan.
It would work but the second objective is to maximize the gold. Aside from being alive, you have to remember these pirates are greedy. Put yourself in Amaro's shoes, why would you give them 20 each when you can be sure that you'll stay alive by giving only one coin to Charlotte and Eliza? Also the rule says each pirate will ALWAYS vote to make the others walk the plank, all other results being equal.
Fairness doesn't matter out on the open seas
No honor among thieves mate, and they were going to make Amaro walk the plank anyway if they all were to receive an equal share
@@Tururu134 they wouldn't make Amaro walk the plank in that case because they know Bart would never give them 20 coins
The equitable plan won't work.
Everyone wants the treasure all to himself, no one but Daniel benefits from being captain. If Charlotte becomes captain, Eliza gets all the gold because Charlotte would die without her support, there is no reason for Eliza to let her keep 99 pieces when she can have it all in exchange for Charlotte's life, even if accepting 1 piece benefits her more than letting Charlotte die. Charlotte cannot afford to offer her only 1 piece unless Eliza cannot help but accept it, in which case she is NOT a good mathematician. Since Eliza thus profits from Bart's death, he needs to get support from either Daniel or Charlotte both of whom know his plight. Would either be willing to settle for less than the entire treasure when they don't have to? Charlotte may be willing to accept the smallest amount but not if Bart keeps a majority: even knowing that she will have to give the entire treasure to Eliza should Bart die, she might spite him for being unfair and regarding her vote as worth so little, and she knows that he cannot risk offending whomever he needs support from at peril of his life. He might escape death by offering Charlotte 50/50 but it is still a risk. Is it worth it? Let's assume it is and that Daniel would respond similarly.
Not knowing if Bart will bribe Daniel or Charlotte, each hopes to profit (separately, only one will benefit) from Amaro's death to the tune of at least 50% of the treasure, and Bart would similarly rather watch Amaro die and then himself offer 50% to Charlotte or Daniel and hope to survive. But Amaro needs support from 2 pirates to prevent his own death. He will have to offer at least 51% (rounding up) to one of the three just mentioned and Bart is the best candidate to accept such a deal. Eliza gets nothing unless Bart dies, but offering her only 1% risks Amaro losing his life while she only loses 1% and gets one step closer to 100%. Amaro MUST offer Eliza enough of the remaining 49% to please her. However, since his life is on the line and not hers, why would she settle for less than the entire remaining 49%. Because she gets nothing from his death? That's HIS problem! He cannot offer her more than 49% and live, but any less risks losing her vote.
If Amaro offered everyone 20%, only Eliza might support him since the other 3 are all expecting at least 50% even though not all 3 can get it.
Looking at the comments, absolutely no one notices the flip off at the end. By the way, great video as always
Abhinav that wasn't flipoff,it was him waving his hands side to side
All i could come up with was 'if two of you vote yarr I'll give you more coins than the other two'
I’m gonna run out of these riddles soon 😭😭
Step 1: Confirm you have green eyes
Step 2: Ask the other pirates to leave

That's because IRL, people aren't perfect logicians.
@@wariolandgoldpiramid uh no why would ppl get only 1 out if 100 while you did work also. That's my take on it.
@@koolstory3867 1 is better than 0 or death. You just proved his point.
@@thefirsttime7759 i meant they would want more ??????? they would want least 10% smarty pant, but ur still right even if u mis understood what i meant
@@koolstory3867 In these cases, getting 1 coin is the best scenario.
So, they hate it, but must accept.
Because the next captain would not give anything.
Ted-Ed: It's a good day to be a pirate!
Me: Yeah, Why not!
*Takes out my pirate costume and calls my pirate friends*
1:05 is confusing. Situation like that can never happen because Eliza's one vote is not enough to overvote Daniel's plan, as pointed in the solution.
Yeah but thats just a another unreal situation
Turns out the coins were all chocolate😂

And here I was thinking I was clever splitting the money with 3/5 and screwing over the other 2 😕
You can have either 33 coins and two allies or 98 coins and 4 people who will plot your death.
@@hgfjhfgify True dat. Always think about the bigger picture.
@@hgfjhfgify "but... but... pirate code..." are the last words you'll hear from the shark's mouth. Both literally and metaphorically.
That's not as bad as what I was thinking. My genius self was thinking of split it equally 5 ways, just because I was too lazy to come with any other solution🤦🏾♀️
Yeah, I thought this too. In my head it just doesn't make sense to risk your own life by offering the other two just 1 coin. The riddle just doesn't really fit real life, because in this one everyone makes 'rational decisions'. In real life, if even one person isn't 100% rational it wouldn't work.
According to the pirate code - which was fairly strict- each member of the crew would get 1 share, with the officers getting 1.25 to 1.5 shares and the captain and the quartermaster getting 2 shares.
If we assume Bart is the quartermaster (as you didn't say) and each of the others just being crewmen (not officers) we realize that they haven't enough crew to pilot the ship. But, setting that aside, The Captain and Bart would get 28 each, with the other 3 members each getting ~14 coins. Depending on how you wanted to divide it, since it would not divide evenly.
.
A captain who proposed his crew members get nothing would not last long.
Amaro: My treasure? It's yours if you want it. Find it! I left everything this word has to offer there!
Narrator: And so men set sights on the Grand Line, in pursuit of their dreams. The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
good point. but, do you know what that's treasure is?

1:07 this is the point which makes everyone giving wrong answer.
yeah that made me assume that the voter has priority over the plan maker
@@sharkas9965 to be fair, the only outcome where Eliza is the only one left is if Daniel's plan results in getting 2 Nays (meaning he himself would also vote Nay). So the outcome isn't impossible, just improbable. Remember, having a majority vote or a tie will result in the plan be carried. It doesn't matter who is given priority.
EXACTLY!
It was a *huge* mistake for the animator showing Daniel walking the plank! The way the problem was outlined, this would be an impossible outcome!
They go out of their way to make sure its totally clear that the pirates are perfectly logical and acting only out of self interest with the primary goal being to stay alive.
That makes it totally impossible for a pirate to vote to plank themselves!
This erroneous animation at 1:07 was a huge mistake!
I think it was also a mistake (although less severe) at the very end of the video, when they suggested that the remaining pirates should spend some time revising their silly code.
If that were an option, the entire puzzle wouldn't work!
@@xxxxSylphxxxx It is not an impossible outcome, just an improbable one. My comment above explains my reasoning^^
I just realized Amaro is flipping them all off at the end LOL
Eliza is getting scammed if it comes down to her and Daniel, Daniel isn’t going to vote Nay to his own plan the system is unjust
No one is going to point out that they used stock image for the coins...
Part of the style dude.

The 7th rule is interesting because it also implies that each pirate knows that each of the other pirates know that that pirate knows that all the other pirates (can be continued forever) are perfect logicians.
Yeah the whole gold splitting situation wouldn't even be a concern for the pirates because they all know that Amaro is going to suggest a perfect solution from the beginning anyway. Because they're all master logicians who know that they're all master logicians. As soon as they find gold every time they will just immediately assume it's gonna be a 98 0 1 0 1 split lmao. Which suggests to me that Bart and Dennis became pirates just for the fun of it. Because they're men? This puzzle is so sexist! =P
plan e is impossible, since that would be equal votes if the captain was included.
Amaro just has to wait 5 days, confirm he has green eyes and then ask the others to leave with the gold
