Join us next time When after getting a peaceful quiet job in the normal library A shipment of coursed books is there by mistake and you have to guess how to put them back in the box knowing they will eat you unless they are in a pile with at least 1 smaller book on top of them
Perhaps, rather than having one or more horcruxes, Moldevort is immortal so long as once a month he causes harm to the magical community. He is vicious both by choice and by circumstance, required to be due to the conditions of his survival
"After too many close calls due to your poor note-taking skills, you decide to take a note-taking course at your local college. "There's just one problem: Moldevort switched out your caffeine potion with a chamomile potion and you fell asleep. What's worse is you woke up just minutes before your final test and if you don't pass it then the Ogre's army of fire, ice, and lightning dragons will throw the Tree folk president into a prison camp and form a dictatorship. And the Tree folk president doesn't have green eyes." Then insert some riddle here for the protagonist to solve. Preferably something involving a score card and flipping a coin.
@@cami7436 As much as I love this joke, I am pretty confident that the spectators saw and know the results of the previous 4 games, so they may call shenanigans.
Yesss, more TED-Ed riddles! I know how much effort goes into these, but I wish they weren't so few and far between. They're my favorite aspect of the channel! This particular one I loved for its lore expansion. The wizarding schools, our poor halfling scribe friend, and Moldevort up to his tricks like usual. Also, Addison's voice continues to be the perfect fit for these so I want to give him his credit where it's due!
I hope this entire lore development will result in a crossover of all of the riddles TED ED has made, with the riddle itself being the most challenging out of the entire series
This reminds me of "Epic Rap Battles of History: Bill Nye vs Sir Issac Newton." Especially the end when NDT mentions that Newton was "stabbing daggers in Leibnitz and hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business."
Problem two:two of the warizds got posseser by a whisk of green smoke and you don't know who amd then are only 4 ways and one is,the exit AND THEN A PURPLE BLOB COMES AND IT REST EVERY HOUR AND WHEN IT SLEEP IT IS THE ONLY TIM3 YOU CAN CUT IT TO ACUTE
Crossover of the century! So we have Moldevort existing in the same universe as this poor goblin (so treefolk, ogres, elves and dragons are all in), as well as other wizards (i.e. the wizards in the chess Moldevort riddle), and three wizarding schools - Newtnitz and Leibton from the duelling wands riddle, and the Magnificent Marigolds Magical Macademy from the secret house riddle.
So how many riddles has it been featuring this goblin? Four at this point? First writing the scores for dragon jousting, then counting votes for an election, then arranging dragons to their territories (also creating new ones when necessary), and now this; all the while his life/head is put at risk in the first three situations.... GIVE THEM A BREAK
@@alice-cu2jr are you referring to the "GIVE THEM A BREAK" part? if you are, the pronoun 'them' is perfectly fine, because there is both a plural and a singular version of 'them'
Puzzles are how I found ted-ed first time. Their puzzle series of 4 seasons was simply amazing. You can't find puzzles as good as those anywhere else. ❤❤❤
You see the correct answer can be reached by asking the wizard overlord whether your eyes are green , if the second frog is female, then goldie locks is lying and if the fish is in the german's house then you need to lower the water level by 2 and NIM will say ozo which can only conclude to the lighter coin being the counterfeit.
Most of the times i just watch these riddle videos without pausing but this time i paused the video, took out a pen and paper, tried and actually got the right answer! Gotta do this more often
Same i usually watch without pausing but for this one i guessed the answer. Assumed 5 events because i didn't want to take time to solve the 4-event table, even though it's super simple as the video pointed out. But i figured that since i found a possible solution with 5 events, that had to be the one. Took me 15 minutes though, even for that incomplete guess, so i should probably have taken notes. Need practice
I like that you mix up your riddles! This time it was a systematic approach of trying to limit the possibilities by finding contradiction through assumption just like in the elemental riddle. Great Content, please never stop.
1:36. If I remember correctly is that the Newt-Niz & Leib-Ton Wizard schools were in the Wizard Duel riddle, and the MMMM school was in the secret 5th house riddle. Like, whoever is making these riddles, they need to write a whole Novel on this stuff.
I heard that they brought in some ancient artifact whose workings they don't even understand, and then someone who impersonated a teacher made it spit out another school's name.
(I didn't see any comments regarding this old joke) Here's how to solve it: You just have to ask the pawn shop owner "If i asked you "Is the person in your left green-eyed?". If the answer is "ulu", then you take the 23 "The Soul" card. If the answer is "ozo", then make all the population flip two coins. If they are both heads, then activate thrusters A, B, and D. If they are both tails, arrange the Greeks in such a way they don't know which color is their hat. Then, if you solved it correctly, they would enter the rave and you would have to go to planet 7. Assuming the Paradoxes start in a blue intersection, add one egg to the silver coins pile. After that you just distribute the dots in a way that you don't own any tax to Fate, and report to the police that everyone in the town is a werewolf. But, if your instrument is not in its box, open the lockers with a perfect square and discover the password, which opens the fifth house of the MMM Macademy. You also have to account that it would take you 15 minutes to cross all the contaminated rooms without using snakes. That means that the fish tanks can only fall from the 27th floor. That's the only way you can create a blue triangle only being able to use the +5, +7, and √ keys. By the way, there is a shortcut to solve this. You have to make sure you land on winning numbers and only flip the lever A. After that, just separate the batteries on groups of 3 and 2 to know which are the possessed ones in the wanted poster. And congratulations, you just saved your school and your head.
The shortcut won't work because the lightning dragons trigger Thruster 37 and make your friends put a mask on and see if they have green eyes but with more steps and that means we have to pick 1,3,4, and 5 to trap Moldevort and not let him take the keystone (drink a luck potion to unlock Minotaur in MMMM) and pick the wand with 60% chance to get a cuddly
Actually, a more efficient way is to guess 15 rubies then play death an amazing tune, after you find out how many nano nodules it takes to go back to the era in which you ate the poisonous frog, thus unlocking the ability to slay the final vampire.
@@stanislavgalev9458 after doing so, you must reason with the pirates for at least 20 gold coins. Then, you must take exactly 2 counterfeit coins from the greedy king and embark on your journey. Done :)
Scoring system is same for all events - this is the key 🗝️ point everyone should note ,it means there are only 3 scorings possible for all events means only 3 nubers can be achieved by any team in any event. For those who didn't understand
I love all the call-backs, like how the schools are from the wizard duel riddle (Newt-niz and Leib-ton) and the sorting hat riddle (Magnificent Marigold's Magical Macademy)
i like how the three schools shown at the start are callbacks to previous riddles, newtwiz and leibton from the wizard duel and MMMM from the fifth house riddle
i solved it using 0, with the next scoring system: 1st place: 7 points 2nd place 1 point and the last place 0 points, and i dont know if that's correct 😭, 7+7+7+1+0=22 marigold 1+0+0+7+1=9 0+1+1+0+7=9
I tried solving this myself, by writing down a few possible 1st/2nd/3rd combinations for the scorecard to no avail. I started watching the explanation and as soon as he mentioned adding the potential points together to get the average I paused and solved the rest on my own. It felt euphoric watching him walk the same train of thought I did after that one little hint
Hold up, so he risked his life counting votes, risked his life making new places for dragons, risked his life putting down scores for the jousting tournament, and now he just got screwed over by moldevort for no reason? Wow... And i thought my life sucked...😅
Speaking of, did you do any of the quizzes in the Harry Potter Fan Club app? Meaning, which Hogwarts House were you Sorted into, and, what did your Petronus turn out to be, as in, which animal does it look like?
@@avoprim5028, I do remember doing a sorting hat quiz and was sorted into Ravenclaw. As for my Patronus, I believe that mine is in the form of a wolf 🐺.
@@marcusblacknell-andrews1783 I like, that, especially, because, it reminds me of @Ryutube, yes, Ryutaro Okada, the Japanese actor who is most well known for playing Isamu Fuwa, also known as Kamen Rider Vulcan, in the Tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Zero-One. Why does it remind me of Okada-San, you ask? Well, simple, Vulcan’s forms are based on wolves.
There are actually ways that any of them could have been the winner of the tournament. The tournament could have been four events where each event has ten points, and there are different ways that you could rearrange the points that they got. example where Leib-ton wins the tournament: Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination player 1 = 7 (1st) 6 (1st) 4 (2nd) 5 (1st) = 22 Leib-ton player 2 = 1 (3rd) 1 (3rd) 5 (1st) 2 (3rd) = 9 Newt-niz player 3 = 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 1 (3rd) 3 (2nd) = 9 MMMM =10 =10 =10 =10 = 40 example where Marigold wins the tournament: Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination player 1 = 7 (1st) 7 (1st) 1 (3rd) 7 (1st) = 22 MMMM player 2 = 1 (3rd) 1 (3rd) 6 (1st) 1 (3rd) = 9 Newt-niz player 3 = 2 (2nd) 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 2(2nd) = 9 Leibton =10 =10 =10 =10 = 40 example where Newt-niz wins the tournament: Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination player 1 = 7 (1st) 5 (1st) 5 (1st) 5 (1st) = 22 Newt-niz player 2 = 1 (3rd) 2 (3rd) 4 (2nd) 2 (3rd) = 9 Leib-ton player 3 = 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 1 (3rd) 3 (2nd) = 9 MMMM =10 =10 =10 =10 = 40
There is an omission in the explanation, or at least room for ambiguity. It's not clear that each event has the exact same score attached to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. It just mentions the 'system' is the same. It's not uncommon for competitions to have unbalanced rounds, so that's not a strange assumption to make. If you can't make that assumption, there is no single solution.
There are 5 events The scoring is 5, 2, 1 The event winners goes like this: Event #1: Newt-niz, Leib-ton, MMMM Event #2 - #5: Leib-ton, MMMM, Newt-niz Final tally would be: Leib-ton with 2, 5, 5, 5, 5 = 22 MMM with 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 = 9 Newt-niz with 5, 1, 1, 1, 1 = 9 Leib-ton is the winner. I solved it by figuring out that the highest score attainable for an event multiplied by the number of event must be greater than or equal to 22, since a lower product would mean attaining 22 would be impossible even if a team wins all events. And the total score attainable through all events must be 40 since it's the total score gained by all teams (22 + 9 + 9) So the formula should be: aN + bN + cN = 40 Where a, b, and c are scores given for an event while N is the number of events. Let's say the scores are 3, 2, and 1. The minimum number of events possible to reach >=22 is 8 events. Let's use the formula: 3*8 + 2*8 + 1*8 = 48 The scoring of 3, 2, and 1, is wrong since the final sum of the score is 48, which is greater than what we want which is 40. Working your way through it you'll find that a scoring of 5, 2, and 1, for 5 events works perfectly. Ps. I'm writing this comment during the pause, I don't know if there are other possible answers.
*Points awarded per round - part 1* The amount of points scored is 22 + 9 + 9, which is 40. 40 can be expressed as (1st points + 2nd points + 3rd points) * (matches) 40 is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40, which are the numbers possible for the 1st value. Since 1st points > 2nd points > 3rd points > 0 points, this rules out 1, 2, 4 and 5, for not being large enough. Since 40 points = matches >= 3, this rules out 20 and 40, for being too large. The only point totals we have left are 8 and 10. *Points awarded per round - part 2* Here are the ways 8 points can be awarded: 5-2-1 4-3-1 Over 5 rounds, a team must be able to earn 22 points. 5 * 5 = 25 (acceptable) 4 * 5 = 20 (unacceptable) The only 8 point total possible is: 5-3-1 Here the ways 10 points can be awarded: 7-2-1 6-3-1 5-4-1 5-3-2 Over 4 rounds, a team must be able to earn 22 points. 7 * 4 = 28 (acceptable) 6 * 4 = 24 (acceptable) 5 * 4 = 20 (unacceptable) The only 10 point totals that are possible are: 7-2-1 6-3-1 Therefore, the only awards left are: 7-2-1 * 4 6-3-1 * 4 5-2-1 * 5 *Reconstruction* At this point, all I could do was trial & error. 9 using 7-2-1 * 4 = IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE 9 using 6-3-1 * 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 6, IMPOSSIBLE 9 using 5-2-1 * 5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 5, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 The second solution for the last point award took me 5 minutes to think of. With this information, we can now fill in the table. Did you notice that Newton and Leibniz are hidden within these teams' names? Newt-niz: 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9 Leib-ton: MMMM: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9 Final iteration: Newt-niz: 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9 Leib-ton: 2 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 22 MMMM: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9 The table may be filled out like this: Newt-niz: 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd Leib-ton: 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st MMMM: 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd And there's your answer.
Did anyone notice that the Newt-Niz magician turned the banana into a fish? Because that was the Newt-Niz champion's signature spell from the wizard duel riddle!
Throwbacks to the wizard duel riddle where you had to get the weak wand and miss on purpose. Literally, the same 2 schools, Leibton and Newtniz. Now, this is an animated universe that could be truly episodic
I like how they incorporate other videos into this one- The dark wizard that casted the forgetting curse was Moldevort from the video where you and Drumbledrore had to get this special wand, (I forgot the name of it) The Newt-niz and Lieb-ton schools were from the wizard duel video, And the third school was from the sorting hat video.

I've been doing your riddles since I was a child and I never used to get them but I always watched and was entertained and interested to learn the logic behind them. To this day I've loved logic puzzles and I watch yours as soon as I see the notification and I started trying to solve them myself since the assassin riddle. I would've gotten that right if I realised the double cross was an option (I had assumed it wasn't but proved that no possibility was possible, so I should've realised there was a double cross). However, today I made a google doc and started working on this riddle. I did every single step of logical thinking that the solution did, and I'm proud to say that watching your riddles and engaging with other logic puzzles has helped me utilise logic much better! Thank you for the riddles Ted!!
The total points given is 40, so the number of events could be 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, or even 40. The total points that could be given per event would be at least 1+2+3 = 6, so there can only be 4 or 5 events, making the sum per event 10 or 8. If the sum per event is 8, the last place can only get 1 point, the second place 2 or 3, and the winner 5 or 4. The winner of the competition gets 14 to 25 points. For 22 points to be possible, the winner of an event must get 5 points, meaning the 2nd place brings 2 and the last 1. Then the winner must have won 4 events while coming 2nd at the remaining one. As for the losers of the competition, one of them must have won the one that the winner couldn't while coming dead last at the rest. The other came last at it, but consistently 2nd at the rest. That would mean the latter is MM, the winner is Leib-ton. If the sum per event is 10, the last place can get 1 or 2, the 2nd 2, 3 or 4, and the winner 7, 6 or 5. For 22 to be reachable, the winner must get 7 or 6, making the 3rd place worth 1 point, and the 2nd 2 or 3. Now, if a school doesn't win an event, they miss out on at least 3 points, and 22 isn't divisible by 4, so the 1st place must be worth 7 points, with the 2nd being 2. The winner must have won 3 of the events and come dead last at the remaining one. As for the losers, one of them must have won this particular event while coming last at the rest, but even that would exceed 9 points, so it's impossible. Only the previous paragraph is correct. Leib-ton is the winner.

1:36. If I remember correctly is that the Newt-Niz & Leib-Ton Wizard schools were in the Wizard Duel riddle, and the MMMM school was in the secret 5th house riddle.
Like, whoever is making these riddles, they need to write a whole Novel on this stuff.
I heard that they brought in some ancient artifact whose workings they don't even understand, and then someone who impersonated a teacher made it spit out another school's name.
(I didn't see any comments regarding this old joke)
Here's how to solve it:
You just have to ask the pawn shop owner "If i asked you "Is the person in your left green-eyed?". If the answer is "ulu", then you take the 23 "The Soul" card. If the answer is "ozo", then make all the population flip two coins. If they are both heads, then activate thrusters A, B, and D. If they are both tails, arrange the Greeks in such a way they don't know which color is their hat. Then, if you solved it correctly, they would enter the rave and you would have to go to planet 7. Assuming the Paradoxes start in a blue intersection, add one egg to the silver coins pile. After that you just distribute the dots in a way that you don't own any tax to Fate, and report to the police that everyone in the town is a werewolf. But, if your instrument is not in its box, open the lockers with a perfect square and discover the password, which opens the fifth house of the MMM Macademy. You also have to account that it would take you 15 minutes to cross all the contaminated rooms without using snakes. That means that the fish tanks can only fall from the 27th floor. That's the only way you can create a blue triangle only being able to use the +5, +7, and √ keys.
By the way, there is a shortcut to solve this. You have to make sure you land on winning numbers and only flip the lever A. After that, just separate the batteries on groups of 3 and 2 to know which are the possessed ones in the wanted poster. And congratulations, you just saved your school and your head.
The shortcut won't work because the lightning dragons trigger Thruster 37 and make your friends put a mask on and see if they have green eyes but with more steps and that means we have to pick 1,3,4, and 5 to trap Moldevort and not let him take the keystone (drink a luck potion to unlock Minotaur in MMMM) and pick the wand with 60% chance to get a cuddly

Done :)
0:14 gasp, the Magnificent Marigold’s Magical Macademy! It’s back!
And the others are from the duel wizard
I love the expanding lore of our magical mystery solving friend, the MMMM and Moldevort showing up from their own various puzzles is brilliant.
Finally a new TED-ed riddle
I love it when Ted-Ed does crossovers among the riddles ( The M.M.M.M. was in another riddle, so was Moldevort and the little goblin us. ). 😁😁😁😁❤
1- ask Moldevort if he has green eyes
2- ask each wizardry school if they would say ozo if they won
3-ask Moldevort to leave
But what if he says ulu?
I figured this out myself pretty much the same way as the answer shown in the video. Many years has passed, and I still enjoy solving TedEd riddles
0:47 DAMN YOU MOLDEVORT
I like how some magic schools are from other ted ed videos and 2:56 i like that music
I swear solving a Ted-Ed riddle gives you such feelings of absolute power
Like you feel like a immortal deity afterwards
Scoring system is same for all events - this is the key 🗝️ point everyone should note ,it means there are only 3 scorings possible for all events means only 3 nubers can be achieved by any team in any event.
For those who didn't understand
I want this little goblin to have one final riddle. And by the end make him competent at writing scores.
I love all the call-backs, like how the schools are from the wizard duel riddle (Newt-niz and Leib-ton) and the sorting hat riddle (Magnificent Marigold's Magical Macademy)
I love that Mr You keeps risking his life while taking notes as a job
i like how the three schools shown at the start are callbacks to previous riddles, newtwiz and leibton from the wizard duel and MMMM from the fifth house riddle
i solved it using 0, with the next scoring system: 1st place: 7 points 2nd place 1 point and the last place 0 points, and i dont know if that's correct 😭, 7+7+7+1+0=22 marigold
1+0+0+7+1=9
0+1+1+0+7=9
Riddles like this always make me love TED ED
“Do you ever fine yourself in this sort of predicament” uhhhhh only when I watch these videos
I tried solving this myself, by writing down a few possible 1st/2nd/3rd combinations for the scorecard to no avail. I started watching the explanation and as soon as he mentioned adding the potential points together to get the average I paused and solved the rest on my own. It felt euphoric watching him walk the same train of thought I did after that one little hint
2:03 I’m going with Liebnuts as the winner, over 5 events, with a point distribution of x, y, z = 5, 2, 1z
Hold up, so he risked his life counting votes, risked his life making new places for dragons, risked his life putting down scores for the jousting tournament, and now he just got screwed over by moldevort for no reason? Wow... And i thought my life sucked...😅
I just love it when Ted-Ed does “Wizard” Riddles.
A Magician’s Enigma!
Speaking of, did you do any of the quizzes in the Harry Potter Fan Club app? Meaning, which Hogwarts House were you Sorted into, and, what did your Petronus turn out to be, as in, which animal does it look like?
@@avoprim5028, I do remember doing a sorting hat quiz and was sorted into Ravenclaw.
As for my Patronus, I believe that mine is in the form of a wolf 🐺.
@@marcusblacknell-andrews1783 I like, that, especially, because, it reminds me of @Ryutube, yes, Ryutaro Okada, the Japanese actor who is most well known for playing Isamu Fuwa, also known as Kamen Rider Vulcan, in the Tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Zero-One. Why does it remind me of Okada-San, you ask? Well, simple, Vulcan’s forms are based on wolves.
"Can you solve..." title made me clicked immediately
1:00 Saying the FIRST Great Wizarding War implies that there was a second one
These deduction from only a limited amount of clues are some of my favourite riddles!
I love the relations between each riddle
How many jobs does that goblin have?
Too many
Twice, he's been a score keeper, then a polling agent and a cartographer. Who knows what he'll do next.
Every job that includes counting and/or charts
He gets paid well.
I'm guessing they're part-time jobs.
After the start of the answer which explained how many points there could be, I was able to work out the rest. Very good one.
new ted ed riddle just dropped, had to watch instead of doing assignments🔥
I love Ted ed riddles! They should make more!
There are actually ways that any of them could have been the winner of the tournament. The tournament could have been four events where each event has ten points, and there are different ways that you could rearrange the points that they got.
example where Leib-ton wins the tournament:
Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination
player 1 = 7 (1st) 6 (1st) 4 (2nd) 5 (1st) = 22 Leib-ton
player 2 = 1 (3rd) 1 (3rd) 5 (1st) 2 (3rd) = 9 Newt-niz
player 3 = 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 1 (3rd) 3 (2nd) = 9 MMMM
=10 =10 =10 =10 = 40
example where Marigold wins the tournament:
Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination
player 1 = 7 (1st) 7 (1st) 1 (3rd) 7 (1st) = 22 MMMM
player 2 = 1 (3rd) 1 (3rd) 6 (1st) 1 (3rd) = 9 Newt-niz
player 3 = 2 (2nd) 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 2(2nd) = 9 Leibton
=10 =10 =10 =10 = 40
example where Newt-niz wins the tournament:
Event = Arithmancy Bewitchematics Calchemy Discrete Divination
player 1 = 7 (1st) 5 (1st) 5 (1st) 5 (1st) = 22 Newt-niz
player 2 = 1 (3rd) 2 (3rd) 4 (2nd) 2 (3rd) = 9 Leib-ton
player 3 = 2 (2nd) 3 (2nd) 1 (3rd) 3 (2nd) = 9 MMMM
=10 =10 =10 =10 = 40
I love Ted-ed as I’ve watched all your vids.
Nice callbacks to the three wizard duel riddle, sorting hat riddle, Dragon Joust riddle, and (even though Moldevort's in a few) the Chessboard riddle
Why would anyone set up a tournament that spectators can't see? This was always an issue with Goblet of Fire to me, too.
There is an omission in the explanation, or at least room for ambiguity.
It's not clear that each event has the exact same score attached to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. It just mentions the 'system' is the same.
It's not uncommon for competitions to have unbalanced rounds, so that's not a strange assumption to make.
If you can't make that assumption, there is no single solution.
I’m pissed about this too. Took me forever to find someone else who pointed this out.
If the events have different scores attached to the places received, then by definition that is a difference in scoring.
As someone who got this riddle through 30 minutes of straight trial and error and not the method described, I am now officially a genius.
The crossover I didn't know I needed
There are 5 events
The scoring is 5, 2, 1
The event winners goes like this:
Event #1: Newt-niz, Leib-ton, MMMM
Event #2 - #5: Leib-ton, MMMM, Newt-niz
Final tally would be:
Leib-ton with 2, 5, 5, 5, 5 = 22
MMM with 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 = 9
Newt-niz with 5, 1, 1, 1, 1 = 9
Leib-ton is the winner.
I solved it by figuring out that the highest score attainable for an event multiplied by the number of event must be greater than or equal to 22, since a lower product would mean attaining 22 would be impossible even if a team wins all events. And the total score attainable through all events must be 40 since it's the total score gained by all teams (22 + 9 + 9)
So the formula should be:
aN + bN + cN = 40
Where a, b, and c are scores given for an event while N is the number of events.
Let's say the scores are 3, 2, and 1. The minimum number of events possible to reach >=22 is 8 events. Let's use the formula:
3*8 + 2*8 + 1*8 = 48
The scoring of 3, 2, and 1, is wrong since the final sum of the score is 48, which is greater than what we want which is 40.
Working your way through it you'll find that a scoring of 5, 2, and 1, for 5 events works perfectly.
Ps. I'm writing this comment during the pause, I don't know if there are other possible answers.
Crossover with some others in the series! Nice!
THIS WAS THE FIRST RIDDLE I SOLVED BY MYSELF YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
“Do you often find yourself in this sort of predicament?”
…No.
*Points awarded per round - part 1*
The amount of points scored is 22 + 9 + 9, which is 40.
40 can be expressed as (1st points + 2nd points + 3rd points) * (matches)
40 is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40, which are the numbers possible for the 1st value.
Since 1st points > 2nd points > 3rd points > 0 points, this rules out 1, 2, 4 and 5, for not being large enough.
Since 40 points = matches >= 3, this rules out 20 and 40, for being too large.
The only point totals we have left are 8 and 10.
*Points awarded per round - part 2*
Here are the ways 8 points can be awarded:
5-2-1
4-3-1
Over 5 rounds, a team must be able to earn 22 points.
5 * 5 = 25 (acceptable)
4 * 5 = 20 (unacceptable)
The only 8 point total possible is:
5-3-1
Here the ways 10 points can be awarded:
7-2-1
6-3-1
5-4-1
5-3-2
Over 4 rounds, a team must be able to earn 22 points.
7 * 4 = 28 (acceptable)
6 * 4 = 24 (acceptable)
5 * 4 = 20 (unacceptable)
The only 10 point totals that are possible are:
7-2-1
6-3-1
Therefore, the only awards left are:
7-2-1 * 4
6-3-1 * 4
5-2-1 * 5
*Reconstruction*
At this point, all I could do was trial & error.
9 using 7-2-1 * 4 = IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE
9 using 6-3-1 * 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 6, IMPOSSIBLE
9 using 5-2-1 * 5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 5, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1
The second solution for the last point award took me 5 minutes to think of.
With this information, we can now fill in the table.
Did you notice that Newton and Leibniz are hidden within these teams' names?
Newt-niz: 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9
Leib-ton:
MMMM: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9
Final iteration:
Newt-niz: 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9
Leib-ton: 2 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 22
MMMM: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9
The table may be filled out like this:
Newt-niz: 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd
Leib-ton: 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st
MMMM: 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd
And there's your answer.
I love how these vids have become a full extended universe
1:11 This defeats the point of the forgetting spell lol
“Why are you so bad at taking notes?”
Wow, I never knew I and the goblin had so much in common 😂
TED-Ed consistency🌟🌟
Was waiting for a new riddle for so long.
Did anyone notice that the Newt-Niz magician turned the banana into a fish? Because that was the Newt-Niz champion's signature spell from the wizard duel riddle!
Then that means he canonically WON.
I liked the references to older riddles, tying together a riddle canon.
I'm so happy riddles are back
even though I can never solve them 😂
hi ted ed we love riddles, we want moree!
Wohoo! That's the second TedEd riddle I solved before watching solution
Throwbacks to the wizard duel riddle where you had to get the weak wand and miss on purpose. Literally, the same 2 schools, Leibton and Newtniz. Now, this is an animated universe that could be truly episodic
I like how they incorporate other videos into this one-
The dark wizard that casted the forgetting curse was Moldevort from the video where you and Drumbledrore had to get this special wand, (I forgot the name of it)
The Newt-niz and Lieb-ton schools were from the wizard duel video,
And the third school was from the sorting hat video.
SERIOUSLY as much as this little dide had endured and succeeded at EVERYTHING that has been thrown at him, he should be the hero!!
TedEd: "can you solve...."
Me: Probably not, but lll watch anyway
Looks like a simpler one, but excellent one to give food for the thought process!
New riddle!!
"Do you often find yourself in this sort of predicament?"
administrating wizarding tournaments that may or may not cause an all out war? all the time man, all the time
Leib ton is the winner
This riddle involves concept of manupulation and probability
And permutation and combination
I think this is the first time my solution was almost exactly the same as the one described, must be tidying up my problem solving slowly!
I MISSED THE TED-ED RIDDLES THANK YOUUUUU
I've been doing your riddles since I was a child and I never used to get them but I always watched and was entertained and interested to learn the logic behind them. To this day I've loved logic puzzles and I watch yours as soon as I see the notification and I started trying to solve them myself since the assassin riddle.
I would've gotten that right if I realised the double cross was an option (I had assumed it wasn't but proved that no possibility was possible, so I should've realised there was a double cross).
However, today I made a google doc and started working on this riddle. I did every single step of logical thinking that the solution did, and I'm proud to say that watching your riddles and engaging with other logic puzzles has helped me utilise logic much better! Thank you for the riddles Ted!!
To solve the ted ed riddles I thought of increasing my logical and analytical thinking, but where could I find riddles as good as these.
Little Goblin voice reveal at 4:28 Omg omg
I love how all wizard stuff is a single universe
The total points given is 40, so the number of events could be 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, or even 40. The total points that could be given per event would be at least 1+2+3 = 6, so there can only be 4 or 5 events, making the sum per event 10 or 8.
If the sum per event is 8, the last place can only get 1 point, the second place 2 or 3, and the winner 5 or 4. The winner of the competition gets 14 to 25 points. For 22 points to be possible, the winner of an event must get 5 points, meaning the 2nd place brings 2 and the last 1. Then the winner must have won 4 events while coming 2nd at the remaining one. As for the losers of the competition, one of them must have won the one that the winner couldn't while coming dead last at the rest. The other came last at it, but consistently 2nd at the rest. That would mean the latter is MM, the winner is Leib-ton.
If the sum per event is 10, the last place can get 1 or 2, the 2nd 2, 3 or 4, and the winner 7, 6 or 5. For 22 to be reachable, the winner must get 7 or 6, making the 3rd place worth 1 point, and the 2nd 2 or 3. Now, if a school doesn't win an event, they miss out on at least 3 points, and 22 isn't divisible by 4, so the 1st place must be worth 7 points, with the 2nd being 2. The winner must have won 3 of the events and come dead last at the remaining one. As for the losers, one of them must have won this particular event while coming last at the rest, but even that would exceed 9 points, so it's impossible. Only the previous paragraph is correct. Leib-ton is the winner.
I liked the references to other riddles: that same character from the dragon jousting riddle, and Marigold’s Magical Macademy
“Why are you so bad at taking notes?”
Listen, I’m trying my best here
the amount of reference in this is crazy
Halfway there. I know there are 5 events and the reasoning matches the explanation then I'm stumped there.
Magnificent Marigold's Magical Macademy is here! That's a surprise! A welcomed one for sure
Yes ,I love these Ted-ed riddles！
yes, i always encounter these magical things. thats why i need brilliant, ted
