Want more? Try the buried treasure riddle: • Can you solve the buri...
You and nine other individuals have been captured by super-intelligent alien overlords. The aliens think humans look quite tasty, but their civilization forbids eating highly logical and cooperative beings. Unfortunately, they’re not sure whether you qualify, so they decide to give you all a test. Can you solve this hat riddle? Alex Gendler shows how.

Hmmm why would you make this comment like five years later?
why comment 5 years later 😬
Five years later lol
TED-Ed is just irrational, don’t expect their situations to make much sense
early hehehe
only one serious problem of this riddle : everyone must understand your plan
Well the alien says you have 5 minutes to discuss, so you and your friends can discuss and agree on that plan :)
That's why it's a test to see that the whole group is qualified or not.😂
@@eliasheinrich5617 so why won't the tallest person says all hats colours starting with the first guy?

So true, and I would be one of them : Even after hearing the explanation I know I wouldn't be able to pull it off, AND IT'S LITERALLY A VIDEO WITH DRAWING.
Wait till they picked up some karens.
Even if one person in the group could figure this out, imagine trying to explain this strategy to 9 other average humans in 5 minutes.
That's what I thought 😂😂😂😂
But I immediately understand within seconds.
@@jasonbig1353🤓
You can explain this in 30 seconds. Its easily understood.

Realistically, the aliens would've also said that they aren't allowed to touch their hats, or otherwise remove them from theirs or each others' heads, to prevent them from just looking at their hats or switching them around.
That doesn’t change anything at all
Realistically this would never happen

Same, very relatable riddle for that reason
We did this in special ed class a while ago, and it was quite a traumatizing experience, as my classmates didnt explain it to me and I kept failing everytime, so I went crying in the corner
yowch
yeowch D:
blind person: *exists*
the nine other prisoners: yeah we're screwed
Not really.. Keep the blind person in the front. since he doesnt have to see or count the odd even thingy.. He just have to say the color of his hat without doing the math. The rest 9 people still could see... so???
@@nagapro3693 But by the rules, the other nine have to be lucky enough the blind person is the shortest of all.

Imagine everything is going as planned and the last person calculates his colour wrong and everyone dies
i think it would be like no more than 5 ppl and they get eaten xD (even with showing this video )
50% chance
@Racoon Gaming omg I laughed so hard at this 🤣🤣
Lol
Actually you need at least nine, so one can fail
“Quick, What do we do?!”
“No idea…”
This can be extended to any amount of colors. Let's say we have three colors red, green and blue. First we assign a value to each red=0, green=1, blue=2. The person starting to guess a color adds up the color values of each hat he sees and takes it modulo 3. For example for a lineup of (r,g,g,r,b,g) the sum would be 1+1+0+2+1=5%3=2, so he says blue. The next one does a similar calculation 1+0+2+1=4%3=1 and subtracts this from what the last person has said, leading to 2-1=1=green and so on.
Interestingly, the riddle gets simpler if you use an infinite amount of colors. Again assigning values to them, and for simplicity just consider the values instead of colors. The person starting simply adds up all the values and says the corresponding color. Now the next person does the same and subtracts the result from what the last person said. So for a lineup of (12,2,43,29,1), the first one says 2+43+29+1=75, the second 75-(43+29+1)=2 and so on.
If you tried to make me do math like that under that kind of stress I'd just tell the aliens to fucken eat me!
I'm not sure it's working, it's not enough to subtract the sum I see from what the last one said.. example: 0,1,2,1 - the first says 1+2+1=4%3=1. The second sees 2+1=3%3=0 so he says 1-0=1 (good), the next one sees 1 so he says 1-1=0 - wrong!
I believe the correct solution is to set a bit: in the first turn it's what the first person says (i.e., (total sum)%3) and then on each turn, the bit is set to: (what the one before last said) minus (what the last person said)
So in the above example, the first one says 1, the second has bit=1 and sees 0 so he says 1-0=1. the next one has bit=1-1=0, and sees 1 so he says (0-1)%3=2, the next person has bit (0-2)%3=1 and sees 0 so he says 1-0=1
How do we know red is not eight and purple is ten
🎉😢😮
I❤love you
That's really clever. Too bad you'd never be able to get 9 average humans to understand the strategy in under 5 minutes.
What comments are you talking about? Most people who figured it out probably paused it to think about it for a while, so it took more than 5 minutes. And if 9 people out of 8 million viewers instantly grasped the solution, that doesn't mean it would be realistic for a random group of 9 people to figure it out (worse odds than winning the lottery). Not to mention, a handful of people out of 8 million would be above average by definition.
nah they don't all have to figure it out for themselves, it just has to be explained to them...like how it has been explained to us, in this five minute video :)

well it took him 4 to do this so i am a pretty average person,... im not smart.... but i got it so i think it would work

Imagine actually coming up with this genius plan and spending the next 5 minutes carefully explaining it to everyone, just for the last person to screw up and cost everyone their lives.
imagine coming up with this plan and while explaining it you recognize the 2 guys that waited on the exit side of the revolving door at the mall.
Imagining everyone understanding the plan without starting a petty fight with someone for no reason
I've been in enough group projects to know it at least takes 1 hour to decide who's the 'leader' of the group, another 2 hours to come up with a plan, and there'd at least 2 people who did not listen at all
technically, if that happened, there would be a 50% chance of survival because the first guy had a 50% chance of saying his color.
@Zwei Stern No, he's right. If the last guy messed up, then your survival would depend on whether or not the first guy got his hat correct.

Me too
Yeah it is so good 😊😊.
It's similar to infographics
Yes
Ahhhh, the alien's voice at 1:26 is so cute!
I saw the solution immediately because I am aware of what computer scientists called a parity bit. It was a way of reducing errors caused by computer hardware. Say you have 8 bits (1s or 0s) to read. The hardware (such as a tape machine) would read the bits and then software would see if the total was even or odd. It would then compare that to a parity bit which had been set based on the correct answer. If the parity bit and the software calculated odd or even were not the same, then it would know there was a reading error.
People would die no matter what because there's always someone who just doesn't get it. Anyone who's ever tried to explain simple directions to more than a few people understands the frustration. 😂 I would try to reason with the Aliens first and say, "Look I have this awesome idea....but can I have a couple of practice rounds first so that I can thoroughly explain this and make sure everyone gets it? Or you can just eat me to put me out of my misery and just let everyone else go." 🤷🏽♀️😂
There’s absolutely no way a group of random people would accomplish this even if you explained the strategy
when the question is of life and death, random people be "a friend from another land"

+++++++

*are you calling me short?!?*
Most relatable part of this is us being at the front
Bro😭
Why am I subconsciously thinking this is at any point in my life gonna be a useful strategy? Like im gonna be in a saw movie at some point or something
Exactly
This specific scenario might not be useful, but I believe this sort of thinking is quite useful in discrete mathematics and programming problems. Minimising the amount of information it takes to solve a problem is super useful for optimising machine run times. You'd be surprised
Saw 10: Aliens
(Crossover)
Well atleast now your covered.
Lmao this is the way I think too
one clumsy person like me...and you all are on alien buffet
That was brilliant. I got it wrong.
Good puzzle!
“You, at the front of the line.” Thanks TedEd for reminding me I’m short
I think in a real scenario like this, there'd be people that just refuse to cooperate. Rather than talk logically, there'd be a frenzy of crying, arguing, or just people refusing to play along because of stubbornness, and "why does this have to happen to me?" kind of thinking. There's no selflessness, nor calmness, nor logic in the average person's way of thinking. Likely, they'd all die because the actual smart people in the group who would have thought of a solution would actually be too busy trying to calm the people freaking out, and trying to get the stubborn, defensive people to cooperate. And so everyone would die. This is why I'd rather take my chances in a single-person challenge than have to deal with other people in a scenario like this.
+SirSaxamaphone Not saying this isn't a neat puzzle. I enjoyed this. I'm just saying it's more likely to be paired with non-cooperative morons who refuse to understand and choose to panic, than actual logical thinkers.
+SirSaxamaphone well sure, it said that at least 9 people have to get the correct answer. The more people who have to cooperate and get the right answer, the worse the situation is. What if they said that only 1 person has to get it right? Then of course you'd want as many people as possible. So, it depends on what kind of question is being asked or what the challenge is. But you're right that people would sometimes rather be stubborn and destroy all life rather than cooperate. That might be what happens in real life eventually.
+SirSaxamaphone Agreed.
+SirSaxamaphone you just described exactly what i think of the human race
+betatalk357 When he said single person challenge, i don't think he specifically meant this one. Obviously this is a biased challenge in the way that it CAN be logically won with 2 or more people (assuming you still get 1 chance to be wrong about a hat color like in the video). Obviously if they asked just one person to guess the color of their hat it literally would be a guess, with no prior information, or ability to deduce the color via logic.
The main point SirSaxamaphone was trying to make is the fact that this situation wouldn't even happen, because once the 5 minute timer started ticking half of the randomly selected people would be freaking out. Crying about why they're here, why me, etc. Ever watched the SAW movies? It would basically be like that. And if even ONE person cannot follow this logic to make the plan work, you're all eaten (unless they get a lucky guess). Even worse if the tallest is one freaking out since the entirety of every ones guesses hinge on that information.
Anybody come back here every year or so just to remind themselves of the solution... Just in case?

Ofc, you never know when you might get kidnapped by aliens and forced to stand in a line with hats and guess what color it is
Wow, the solution is so clever. Would not have thought of that, haha.
thats a neat puzzle
if this was done with real people at least one of them would guess their hat was blue.
yeah or they all speak different languages
bout2freek yeah just to troll or kms
bout2freek Way to copy the top comment
And then the dumb troller would get everyone and themselves eaten. And become a dead insult to human civilization.

I feel like I'm gonna be that one guy considering I lack even common sense, soooooo I guess I'll just have to avoid aliens as much as possible

@Paul Marshall Moooo

I love how realistic this is. I would be at the front XD
Thanks for making this less than 5 minutes so you can explain this to them, I wasn’t going to do a good enough job. 😅
This is relying on the fact that you aren't captured with a bunch of fools.
Like me.
