"You have A gun, what should you do?" "use 10 of them". I call this "test" bullshit.
yeah
Yeah!! 👿
Ikr it only says there is A gun
xD I said put it at 50%
ikr
you said I had A ray gun. as in ONE. not ten, cmon...
Thank you.
I also question the notion that 10 x 10% ray guns pointed at the same target as 1 x 100% ray gun doesn't do the same amount of damage to the healthy tissue. How should I know firsthand that the effects of ray guns are additive and vary depending on the type of tissue. The effects could have been cumulative and affect both types of tissue in the same way for all I know. Am-I missing something obvious here?
By reading other comments the explanation seems to be that the combined ray guns does affect a very accurate point in 3D space. Don't think that was even mentioned in the premise. It never occurred to me that combining many rays to the same spot wouldn't cause a big radius of damage thereby affecting the healthy tissue just as much as a single ray. Would have thought that doing this would cause a diffuse spherical damage even bigger than the linear one caused by a single ray.
***** I did reflect a bit on my previous comments. What I really meant was that the 3% success rate has much more to do with the incomplete premise rather than a lack of creative thinking. When you have a good grasp of the "ray-guns" physics it becomes a simple geometric problem that is easily solved by applying "intersection" which is learned in grade school...
i just said get a docter that can do surgery duhhh also this is unrealistic cuz you always have a partner when dealing with a patient so stfu
IT SAID "A RAY GUN"
AS IN ONE RAY GUN
THAT IT NOT OKAY
That is where you Are supposed to use your Creativity!!
Fangirl2202 I thought you cut open the patient's abdomen and shot the ray gun only where the tumours were to decrease damage to healthy tissue.
exactly!
same
YOU COULD ALSO PRAY FOR THE TUMOR TO GO AWAY AND CONSIDER IT CREATIVE
That's not fair! He says you have a ray gun, not multiple ray guns with adjustable intensity levels. Important info!
I also think the same answer haha :D
Papa Slap it is fair if you have a humongous creative personality you would of guessed it automaticly he never said you can't have more than 1 ray gun he said you have one ray gun
I also would have guessed that I could pray to god for the tumor to go away and it would work. He never said that god couldn't exist and that god couldn't remove tumors.
Casperd2100 Beautiful response.
You are not creative that's the truth
"But you do have a ray gun."
You said A raygun, not multiple. Only 3% got it right because you asked it wrong.
seriously
ikr
you didn't take risks
Precisely
ikr, most people that got this wrong could figure it out irl.
You have A gun.
A gun.
Not multiple guns.
I call bullshit.
I know ay cause like this riddles a whole lotta bullshit
+Wolverine Otter (kit-katkitty-catkitten) that's nonsense, besides, if he said directly that you have access to a 10, you'd think that you should use those 10 in some way, until you find out how. This, will in fact, make its a whole lot more easier for people to find the answer uselessly, without creativity.
I have a dog in my backyard. I haven't seen it for a few weeks. Is it dead? Please tell me. You apparently have enough information.
hidethechildren
You haven't looked in your backyard for a few weeks.
Gilian Rüsterholz Yeah. Sammy Bray should be able to tell if my dog is dead, right? I gave him more than enough information. He should figure the rest out with his creativity. He made it sound easy.
I do not see why combing all the ray guns will not still kill the healthy tissue...
Siara Hughes because it does not have full power in a individual area if they are puting the ray gun from all side so not effecting a single area of are tissu . and they met at a single point where there is more ray coming from all other are with out effecting the tissu and they mixed up and make 100 % again because of the 10 ray gun at 10% each ... easy
That isn't how atomic physics work but Ok.
Siara Hughes think waves.. combining..
true. if all ray guns are surrounding the tumor and are at 10% then the healthy tissue will still be damaged due to the combined power of the ray guns...
Yea my ans was set it to medium
No wonder only 3% pass the test, the other subjects lent their ray guns out to them.
lol
"You do have A ray gun" not 10 wtf
Mirror to reflect rays?
Precisely.
You can split the beam of one ray gun into multiple weaker beams.
that's what I thought !!!!!!! a=1 not 10
+Tymski And you expect the average joe to know that?
Having one ray gun then suddenly having ten is just cheating the question. This doesn't answer the question. It changes it
Exactly
+AmalGatroN Could just move ray gun around (to pass through multiple different areas of tissue, and avoid staying on one region for too long) whilst keeping it pointed at tumor. Problem solved :)
Nooooo just be fucking creative and Randy The Dolphin will slap you across the face and it will give you duplicating superpowers
+Oydle nope, the ray guns need to shoot at the same time. what u propose has the same effect as turning the ray gun on and off 10x. changing its position wont matter, shooting from 10 different angles to the same point at the same time does.
Tom Kummer I think you are right. My bad. I had assumed that the effective total radiation dose was the key here, but if it's the intensity alone which matters, then yes, you need more ray guns.
Edit: Or a complicated set of mirrors..
The question was like " You have two apples, you give three apples to John, how many elephants passed the river?"
The answer is today is Thursday
The answer is three apples ate ten elephants.
Your ans is zero
The answer is 1 baby elephant. You ordered 1 apple so you can give 3 to John but that required delivery so they sent a baby elephant across the river to give you the apple.
You are just not creative enough 😂
oh dude thinking out of box doesn't means changing conditions of questions...so 10 guns huh?
"You have >A< ray gun"
"Place 10 ray guns"
Thanks.
You happen to work in a hospital and that hospital may have 9 more ray guns thats currently not being used. So you use them. Hehe
+Someone In The Crowd If you don't have time to operate I doubt you'd have time to run around the hospital looking for ray guns or even setting up an elaborate 10 gun system to shoot at once
Pygmy Rhino They never said you didn't have time to operate, only that you couldn't operate.
TheSavageNerds I guess that's what thinking out of the box means
o0ss Bingo.
Thats bullshit because there is no way for us to know that tissue-sensitive intensity wasn't additive. I call this the worst creative test ever.
+Daniel
Actually the video hoped you'd know (at least the barebones) about electromagnetic radiation.
+Varun Singh this is a creative test, not a test on electromagnetic radiation
Ben Fung Fook
If I tell you to bring me some water. You're not going to bring it in your hand because you know water behaves like a fluid. Everybody does.
The concept that two weak beams of light can merge into a stronger beam is similar. Just experiment by turning two torches on at once.
(By electromagnetic radiation, I meant light, because that's what it is.)
Varun Singh I get what you're saying but not everyone interacts with light in this way, at least not to the same degree that they interact with water
Ben Fung Fook
Touche
But still, people know two torches are brighter than one.
The test is pointless though because you were supposed to have "a ray gun".
u did say “imagine you’re a doctor”, so who says I can’t just imagine a ray gun that doesn’t damage the tissue?
Ahahahaha that's what I imagined XD
Thats true this isnt 100 percent accurate it still has flaws but involves creativity
Those are just the conditions fool
This is definitely one of those things where they depict creativity as being totally separate from logic to an absurd point
You said I had "a ray gun", implying I only had access to one.
NOT.
*TEN.*
I actually was just going to say that and Ikr
EXACTLY!
+aprilblenk you can split the beam using partial reflection mirrors and redirect the fractions to the "hot spot".
LeanLikeACholo q
+LeanLikeACholo mate, that's just called being a genius not creativity
"Three houses are on fire with people inside. You have one ladder. You can only save one house. How can you save them all? The answer: you use a helicopter."
+Voldermort BUTT I like your avatar's name and your sarcasm
+Voldermort BUTT was the length of the ladder specified? if not lay the ladder on top of the houses make the poeple climb up the chimney and then snap the ladder at the end so you create two ladders and angle it down :D or just snap the ladder into three and use them
but yeah
there yah go
+honeydew247 you realize that since the chimney is an opening, all of the smoke will be concentrated to that one spot, making it impossible to see or breath while climbing.
fuck it make the ladder into a gas mask i dont give a fuck how possible it would be
+Voldermort BUTT I read it as "tree house is on fire" then i was like. Thats easy af...
i Thought I had only one ray gun so my solution was to use a series of well arranged reflective surfaces to make the low intensity rays pass the body only one time per part while making it pass multiple time on the location of the tumor. problem solved life saved money saved (I can use only one gun) now where is my success?
can we actually do that with one ray of light?
DnVrDt great idea man
DnVrDt. i think you're the winner
I thought of reflective surfaces too
still isn't a good solution...the combined radiation has a lethal level up to a certain radius. This would be a perfect sphere. However, the tumor is not a perfect sphere. Therefore with this solution, it would be impossible to get rid of the tumor without hurting cells. If you really wanted to get rid of the entirety of the tumor, you would have to destroy some healthy cells as well...
Vigo Hornblower actully it is the best idea because when your shooting one ray gun your shooting one spot of the tumor and when you do that it puts all the pressure on one spot if you use ten and put them on 10% it puts the same amount of pressure on each spot of the tumur allowing the doctor to kill the tumur without putting all the pressure on the protective tissue im the most creative in my family
My answer was to buy a different ray gun that had a medium level of intensity, or to get a ray gun that had less toxins that would kill your tissue.
Depending where the tumour was I thought of first making an incision and shooting the ray gun through the hole to damage less tissue. Maybe that's dumb but it was my first idea (I'm no doctor)
actually that is how radiotherapy works
Vigo, ah true to the sphere. But what if you are making that sphere smaller then the tumor? Then you can just move the rays around to destroy it.
How was I supposed to know I had ten ray guns????
***** It made it sound like you only had one gun. I thought that using ten guns would be considered cheating.
But it said "a ray gun" what means one ray gun... Not ten!!!
Its like saying 1 + 1 = 3 and call it creativity... 1 + 1 is 2 and that is how it will allways be...
Oscar Exactly! Choosing ten ray guns sounds like cheating. They tell you that you have _a_ ray gun, as in one. How on Earth can you figure that somehow, you have _ten_ ray guns?! It doesn't make sense.
that's the thing it's a riddle you gotta think outside the box
You have a ray gun. But ten around the patient. Any one else see the problem?
*put
yes, the problem is you don't think outside the box, I suggest also getting some pisces as friends
Nick Lopez I was following the rules. Now if it didn't specify how many ray guns we had then I would forgive it. But it specifically said "a" raygun meaning one. Changing the rules of the riddle doesn't mean you solved it so yeah. Of course I thought of other ways this could work with one raygun.
Nico Cornejo but riddles are always there to trick you just like the riddle if a rooster lays an egg on a house which way will it roll, solution: roosters don't lay eggs hens do, here's another one, what weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks, solution: they both weigh the same since its a pound; thus dude there are a bunch of riddles just like the one with the ray gun
Nick Lopez Except those make sense. It's impossible to have 10 ray guns if it SPECIFICALLY said 1. If it didn't have this information it would make sense because it's the perosns fault for not thinking outside of the box. But with this puzzle it specifically stated you only had one.
Take 4 matches to make a square then take the other 2 and make a cross in the middle. You will then have 4 right-angled triangles.
SuperEddie Gaming The sides have to be of equal length.
The solution is to actually make a pyramid.
Alex Stefanov
how do you make a pyramid with 6 matches?
SuperEddie Gaming the diagonal of a square is 1.414times the side of a square. if each stick is of length 'a' ,then the diagonal sticks should be 1.414×a.
Yoav Sigler with a triangular base
I realize I am a bit late to this effort, but the simplest answer I can see is make I triangle from 3 point up, then placing the remaining three so they form another triangle in the middle of the first point down, but excess match sticks out beyond sides of the first... easier to draw. End up with 4 triangles all inside the first, of equal sides, essentially half a match stick.
"You do have A ray gun." - "The solution is very clever. You put TEN rayguns around the patient"
I was thinking about that, but you said I have A ray gun!!! A ray gun is NOT 10 ray guns!
Exactly!
You can have 10 ray guns and still have "A" ray gun.
As long as you don't have less than ONE ray gun, you will still have "A" ray gun.
EXACTLY! They trick us
+Violet Violets there wasn't enough information in the starting riddle, you are lead to believe that you only have one ray gun thanks to the wording and the animation
Yeah, but I thought - what if you had two rayguns and focused on the tumour. That's 50% intensity. It's still possible to get past a badly worded question, which is what scientists do every day, as nature doesn't pose most questions coherently.
The question was implying one ray gun. Not TEN. Re-word the question and that percentage will jump up from 3% to 75%.
Exactly.
That's what I was going to say
+joseph10097 Implying that you can use more than one would give away the answer, maybe rephrase it to, you´ve developed, then coming up with the idea of using 10 would still require creative thinking, and might still be close to 3%
Yes, but without any knowledge of the fact you even have access to more than a single gun, it is impossible. It's like saying you have made an amazing cure, but there are 10 sick people. To solve this you make 10 more. This is unreasonable because it doesn't say you can make any more -and things require materials to create.
+Miguel! I Draw! If you invent something it is the reasonable thing to asume that you can make more.
in a creativity test should be more than one 'right' answer
besides the most creative answer to a problem is hardly ever the most practicable
Make a number "4" with three matches, then use the leftovers to make a triangle
You can make the number 4 with three matches. Look at this: 4
There are three lines used to make the 4. So three matches.
I did it.....
Boomm
Make two triangles and place then on one another {in such way that middle of the side of this triangles joins...}to get the triangles....
Can you break the matches in half?
and use the pieces for both the 4 and the triangle
or do you simply say the triangle part of 4 is the triangle.

GREEN IS NOT A CREATIVE COLOUR
What's your favourite idea?
MINE IS BEING CREATIVE
thinking about it, since green is not a primary color, and the majority of people's favorite colours are red and blue, I'd say green is extremely creative.
and yes I know the DHMIS reference
TheDerpyDisaster
Ikr?! Green is creative af! The notebook was just salty 😂
If green is creative af how creative is f
All these people bitching about ''A ray gun''
I'll made B ray gun that doesnt damage the tissue but kills tumor
now thats creative
that made me laugh so hard XD
you made my day
but your pacient is dying in these exactly moments xD
Soy F
It doesnt say anywhere that the patient has to survive hehehe
Kriss Soldo (under breath) this guy is good
"The ray" "a ray" "Actually the answer is a bunch of rays"
A few years ago, I tried to understand the geometry of a tesseract (a 4th dimensional cube). I spent three days trying to visualize it to no avail. One night, I dreamt about it with such clarity that I can see it in my mind to this day.
The tesseract Wikipedia page has a cartoon that does a great job of showing how a Dali cross (figurine comprised of 8 separate cubes) can fold/explode into the tesseract shape. You might like seeing it, check it out.
Holy shit 3% of the earth's civilization actually thinks the statement "you have a ray gun" means you can use ten ray guns?
why the fuck is it ten and not two or three? Ofcourse only 3% of the population solved this.
3% of people who were involved with the test... not 3% of the entire population. That makes no sense.
John Holmes Wow that's hilarious. Not all of earth's civilization has seen that test.
John Holmes lmao
I just thought move it around each time using only one with small dosis :p
I thought : That guys said, "Imagine you're a doctor." So, imagine that the tumor disappears. Am I wrong?
😂😂😂
+Gfvkk Chsi you lose you job if you do that then you lose your money and then no one is happy do you want that!?
Then, I can imagine that I am a billionaire that never lost his/her job, and everyone is happy. What about that?
lol
We'll…that's creative
"Creativity isnt limited to just artsy things" also when it comes to making a good riddle.
For the ray gun riddle, at the point where the rays intersect to make 100%...that would still damage the healthy tissue and do the same as one single fully powered ray
If the rays converged *inside the tumor* the tumor would be exposed but not the healthy tissue because the healthy tissue would only get a 10% dose (which is less than the harmful 100% dosage threshold).
"U have a ray gun... U place 10 Ray guns." If I could just apply the logic to spending like "I have one dollar... So I can spend $10 with going into debt."
Very creative *slow clap*
I actually laughed
exactly the logic here
So use the one ray gun, and rotate it around the patient.
Unfortunately you're right.
Let's set some shit straight. This riddle was unsolvable. You people can talk about how you simply had to be creative to use more than one gun, but the riddle says that you have *A*raygun. A as in a single Ray gun. Not rayguns, a raygun. It also says that you patient is dying and needs treatment so fast that operation is not an option. Allocation of additional rayguns is entirely illogical. You would be right in saying that it is creative thinking to imagine up 9 more rayguns, however, in the context of the video as a whole, that makes no sense. He talks about the use of creativity in business leaders. Let's say you're a CEO. You need 10 million dollars for a project that needs to be approved in a few minutes. You have 1 million readily available. How to you approve the new project assuming all of the money needs to be turned in at the start. The answer is that you can't. You don't have the 9 million, and you don't have the time to redirect the funds from other projects to this one, seeing that there are rules and guidelines to be followed in moving such large amounts of money. You can't imagine up 9 extra million dollars. So you can be creative all you want, but you have to be realistic at the same time when solving riddles like these, and the answer to this was nowhere near realistic.
(EDIT) - In retrospect, the solution itself is false. Putting 10 rayguns at 10% power is the same thing as 1 at full power, due to the concept of constructive interference. When waves of any kind (which a ray gun would most certainly use), overlap, if they both have positive amplitudes (and these rayguns would in fact have identical amplitudes and frequencies), then the power of the waves are added. So 10 at 10% is the same as 1 at 100% making this answer ENTIRELY INCORRECT.
(2nd edit) Constructive interference is why their solution with multiple ray guns would work (if they had multiple rayguns that is), but it's impossible to avoid damaging healthy tissue using that method. There would be unavoidable overlap, meaning that their entire theory was wrong in the first place.
yes you are right bro, fuck this, bite size psych has several bullshit moments in their videos
I also took the question as literal and tried to work with that. Closest I got was using a low strength laser with some kind of focusing lense.
I was pretty disappointed to find the goalposts moved int he answer.
Another problem I saw, was that he didn't tell how low "low intensity" was. It could've been in this case that the healthy tissue gets damaged when firing a railgun with an intensity of 40% or higher of it's maximum possible intensity, which would mean that you'd just need 3 of these railguns firing at an intensity of like 35% or so to kill the tumour without damaging anything else. It just bothered me that he was saying this exact amount of 10 railguns when it really could've been any amount because the problem hasn't been defined enough.
Ryan J I mean the only reason we have creativity is to get away from all that complicated junk. Obviously Ben Franklin didn't give a flying flip when he got that kite and key during a storm he could've gotten killed because that lightning bolt could've did some damage but thankfully to his luck he wasn't and invented electricity. Therefore we human beings don't care about anything if we are creative and have a wicked, crazy, and looney mind.
batnay K Your point is totally irrelevant. First of all, the whole Benjamin Franklin and the kite thing, never happened. It's a folk tale, based on a real person. Second of all, to be of any use, creativity must be used while also considering reality. That "complicated junk" is real life, and you cannot get around it by thinking your way past it. It is still there, and no matter how many ray guns you wish you had, you still only have one.
that's quite the lethal NES ZAPPER
When did the other 9 ray guns show up
I've got an answer for the matches one. Get another 6 matches because apparently were allowed to pull stuff out of our ass in these riddles, then make 4 triangles from 3 matchsticks each.
That's thinking outside of the box; this answer is as valid as any other.
Pygmy Rhino lets just make a match house since apparently we have a match stick factory next to us...
XD
Lmaooo I'm cryiiing 😂😂😭
Or just mould a (3D) pyramid with 3 corners and you're done haha
Q:you have a ray gun what do you do
A:you use 10 of them
nice logic
+Nikola Kostić I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
Not only that, but I thought there were only two vague settings: "high intensity" and "low intensity." You can't aim 10 ray guns unless you know that you can set them to precisely 10% intensity, which was never an option. I mean, if I can use my "creativity" to dream up options that aren't presented in the riddle, then I might as well dream I have magical healing powers and can do whatever I want.
Also, you would have to have *miraculously* precise aim and timing to completely destroy the tumour and never damage any healthy tissue. I say, even with the proposed "creative" solution, that patient is *FUCKED*.
I really wonder if this riddle could be phrased in a better way, or about a different scenario, so that the solution actually works realistically.
yip, I agree
ten of them but "with Lower power" the idea have to be completed
By that logic, the answer might as well be "find a surgeon who can remove the tumor for you"
For the matchstick question , make a square with 1stick at each side and add an X in the middle
What does it mean if my answer was to kill him. Like then you wouldn't have to use the Ray gun cause he's dead and the tissue would be fine
You have a ray gun...
You place ten ray guns...
uhhh
Yeah I was about to comment, how are you gonna place 10 ray guns around him if you only have one ray gun
Yeah because of him being wrong in the 10 I thought he answer would be a focus point
You could rotate the one ray gun at full capacity. The healthy tissue would get the full brunt of energy for a small amount of time, which unless it's high enough to cause instantaneous permanent damage won't hurt the tissue (and if it does, then lower capacity on the laser would be sufficient with the proposed method). The unheathy cells would get the full energy brunt all the time, since it's in the middle regardless of which way you beam it from.
Nice one
Yeah, there's a lot of different solutions. You could also use surgery to get the one ray gun in a position where it won't damage healthy tissue, while still not operating on the tumer.
Also, 10 ray guns wouldn't work. First, why 10? Anything less than 100% should work without a specific level mentioned. Second, that only kills cells at one tiny point. Make the beams larger and you damage healthy cells. You would have to constantly adjust each gun by hand, grt them all to line up,and repeat dozens of times.
And as you suggested, a potential cumulative effect could be used in a number of ways that would allow you to use one gun to kill the tumor.
You do have A raygun...keyword A meaning 1.
I know! When I saw the answer I was like, but you said we only got ONE ray gun not 10... -_-
thank you! that's what I was thinking
OMG for realz!
You can split the beam of one ray gun into multiple weaker beams.
Creativity is the ability to think beyond limits. Imagining the ability till have more than one gun is the actual creative part.
you have 6 matches : that means 2 triangles... so you make two triangles and you put the second one upside down on the first one
then you have 4 triangles !
easy 😊
Charlotte Jolly you are right!
Charlotte Jolly You get 3 triangles and a hexagon...
Sounds right. My solution was to make a triangle based pyramid shape.
Raygun, put it far from the patient with high intensity. Then, get close to the tumor spot till it drstroyed.
The video said "A ray gun" implying you had ONLY ONE.
+Matt Sinotte Earth to Matt...the real world does have CONSTRAINTS. For example, engineers have to work within constraints all of the time including only "so much material" or " so much money" or "so much time". These are all valid, REAL WORLD, constraints.
The real creativity is working within those constraints to find a solution.
When you have enough experience in the real world get back to me. Then we can have an actual discussion.
+Matt Sinotte like I said....come back in a few years after you get some actual real world experience under your belt.
+Scallywag This guy is in college probably working his ass off trying to get smarter and better at what he does, while you sit there and criticize him for not having enough "real world experience".
+Samuel Hensinger yes because being smart or a smart ass like him is one thing. Having real world experience is entirely different. I hope Matt finds his dreams and has the best of both worlds; smarts and experience. I can't fault the guy, just his logic that isn't based in the "real world".
+Matt Sinotte that's not creative the video literally stated ONE ray gun. In that case then I'll do surgery wait that's against the rules? nah I'm being creative. Besides the top comment stated that the a ray gun thing was a mistake so just admit your wrong m8.
Uhm... You said one ray gun. Not ten. Wtf.
he bought them
Doesn't say that you can do that. In the rules of the riddle, the gun is one of a kind, and can't be modified or improved. Or you can go the route of "but they didn't say that", which at that point you've entered into Deus Ex Machina territory, and litteraly anything that solves the problem is correct. "How do you get rid of the tumor" I improve the gun so that it doesn't kill healthy tissue now. That's the same thing.
+PAUL MCF thats why you think out of the box teachers shouldve learned you not to study paragraphs by heart
+ Cupcake Cake "A" implies singular. This isn't a problem with education; it's a problem of the British guy not knowing how to speak English.
***** It appears you don't know how to speak English.
for the riddle with matches... make a square with four matches then use the other two as perpendicular bisector for both of the two opposite sides making 4 equal sized squares
But you could get the same outcome with only one ray gun going around in an exact circle while still aiming at the cancer because it would minimise the damage done to the normal cells because you wouldn't be hitting the same normal cells because the gun is moving around the body in a circle always hitting the cancer
This was literally the riddle: How do you get 2+3 to equal 10?
The answer is to add 5 to 2+3.
Accurately compared👌
only 3% :l i get why
Because of creativity
BECAUSE ONLY 3% ARE THAT STUPID TO MAKE THAT ONE ANSWER. I though hey use more beams to surround a powerful beam minimizing the damage but also didn't say how the guns worked plasma my idea would be sound but not lazer beams and what is a ray?
lmao
You have a ray gun, not, you have many ray guns.
You should have worded the question differently.
I took a picture of your username and texted it to my friend. You make TH-cam comments the awesome place that it is.
then use freaking prisms to split the beam and mirrors to redirect it
You can still have "A" ray gun even if you have ten, as long as you have one gun or more
+Alex Frye That is what I said the whole time.
I thought the solution was to bring the ray gun a few feet backwards to lower the intensity. Close enough.
The riddle is simple!!
Just make a square out of 4 matchsticks & draw two diagonals with remaining two matchsticks. Hence 4 equilateral triangles are formed!
That can't work because the diagonal lines will be longer than the lines making the square. You will not have complete triangles.
:( I thought I only had one ray gun.....
So.... I can borrow from other players of this riddle or what....?
yes for every 1 person that solves it 9 have to do it without a ray gun at all ! :^)
+mathardo XD lol, so we take ten patients and decide which one is worth the sacrifice of the others? Can't we just operate on one, then pass the ten ray guns to the next patient that's waiting?
+Falling Up see ! you got the purpose of the video after all ! that's creative thinking. ;)
+Falling Up lol
Ikr
My answer was just imagine the patient without a tumor. Ha!
same omg haha
This is so true ,making music in your head is so easy you can make the most insane kind of beats in your head but most of the time they get lost cause you don`t have the time to write them down or stuff like that same with lyrical music
For the second riddle about the match I said that you would cross two matches to make an x and then put the rest of the matches to cover the sides so that it would make a square with an X in the middle
I said take two ray guns at 50%, but in the starting you said you have a ray gun, meaning only one
A gun can fire more than one shot and can be moved between shots.
+William Knowles The gun would have to move at a superluminal velocity (faster than the speed of light) in order to do what you have proposed. Even if you found a way to move the gun at the speed of light, which is physically impossible, the light would never intersect with itself to produce more than the original intensity.
Reflect the beam set to 10% at least 9 times with some mirrors to the tumoral tissue and you're fine.
+Leonardo Zanetti after each reflection, the intensity that each reflected ray carries keeps decreasing.... so it's not possible :/
dark panda Then just set the beam to 100% put a prism that divides the beam in 10 and those 10 with mirrors get deflected to the tissue.
You said "A ray gun" not "ray guns". You can't say that people who don't think of an answer aren't creative. They are just better at following the rules and thinking logically.
Fucking conformist.
why would he be a conformist?
This is an actual cancer treatment, so I knew it already.
to answer the end question, if you make a square out of the matches and cross the other 2 over you get 4 triangles of equal length. in quote of hanzo, sinple geometry.
So if you rob up another 9 ray guns from 9 other people taking this test then they all fail? Unluckyyy
I see you...
Mr. Price Hmmmm
+MrFunkyHypnoCat I know, you just happen to be able to phase yourself, fo you reach in with a scalpel and operate like that. Easy!
i should not have scrolled down this comment just spoiled the answer for me
+Ariphael don't worry there isn't a correct answer to this......
or just do medium intensity instead of cloning yourself nine times -_-
exactly what I thought
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
Exactly what i was thinking
That's what I thought lol
+Wumbo123 I was thinking that!
that is so easy . a square with diagonals makes four equal triangles
The answer to the last question is: create a square with the four matches. The remaining two you'll have to position them diagonally on each corner of the square. So it's basically a square with a diagonal cross in the middle, if that makes sense.
The answer assumes that there the doctor has 10 ray-guns available when one of the first things said is that the doctor has a single ray-gun. No wonder only 3% 'get' the answer.
Zander Cohen And why specifically 10 at 10%? Each "ray" would be 20% so you could just do 5 guns at 20% since the rays don't magically stop at the tumor site. And since we can have multiple, why not 2 rays at 50%?
Zander Cohen you could just use a beam splitter, 10 ray guns are not necessary.
My answer was open up the patient in surgery, expose the tumor, and blast it point blank range....
You couldn't perform surgery though... It said at the begging
I'd assume that just means you can't surgically remove it. No reason why you couldn't just remove layer of skin/fat/muscle over it. Unless it's just some arbitrary limitation.
I just thought to swallow it
tbf by definition, its not surgery unless the tumor is repaired or removed. I gave the same solution.
that's the problem with creative solutions, there isn't just one answer.
6 matches, 4 triangles: attach them! So make a square (= 4 matches) and use the 2 matches that are left to 'draw' the diagonals of the square. --> 4 triangles.
What if you do not ray constantly but use a frequency on the ray gun. The intensity will kill the tumour but the energy will not build up on the tissue
only 3% pass because its fucking worded in a way that implies you have only one ray gun, not ten
True
Exactly!
But I got it right without focusing on the fact that he said A ray gun
Would it work with mirrors? LOL xD
I bet that this 3% would roll down to 0% if your life depended on the answer given the misleadingly worded riddle.
It is because how the riddle is worded as “a ray gun” properly interpreted there is basically no solution, not even with special x ray or gamma ray reflective material since that is also so special that the riddle should have mentioned it that you also have those at hand. Normal mirror doesn’t reflect X- ray nor Gamma Ray but mostly only visible light and visible light would not go through the many organic layers like skin, bone…etc. thus would not work in the first place.
You guys said we had "A" ray gun which means we have only ONE ray gun. Not multiple rays guns so ur answer is technically not correct...
Tho ofc I may be wrong...
You need to buy milk in a vending machine for 3$. You only have a 5$ coin and the vending machine doesn't give change. There are no shops to get change, and your friends won't help you because they hate you. How do you make sure you won't overpay for the milk?
You pay with a 3$ coin you have in your back pocket.
Only 3% of the population are creative enough for this.
If someone tells me I have only one item, I don't assume that I have two items instead. If I only have a ( article used for single nouns) $5, then that is the only coin I have, I could pay with 3 $1 BILLS, but not with coins because I have only A coin, but saying I only have this denomination coin means I have no other denomination coins.
(for the same question at the end ) cut all the 6 matches into half then you get 12 half matches , with it you can create 4 triangles of 3 sides
Yall, He didn't say that you were supposed to only use one ray gun.
how can there only be one solution to a creativity test?
cat 95 There are possibly more. As the riddle did not specify how many intensities the ray had, I thought that a middle or medium intensity would be evened out, sort of like goldie-locks. It could kill the tumor but be harmless to the tissue of the skin.
+cat 95 Another solution, the one I've heard of before I saw this video, was to mount the laser on a robotic arm that would move around the patient in a sphere, but track to always be aiming at the tumor. Reduce the power so that it takes a few minutes of concentrated firing to destroy a cell, and keep it moving. If the laser can't be moved, then the patient can be tracked around instead.
You said i had a ray gun to work with, not 10. Jesus christ. Also, it's not like there is only one solution to this problem, not everything else is wrong 😒
+Definitely Not B8ing exactly
Ikr
+Definitely Not B8ing 1 ray gun is more dangerous because it destroys the healthy tissue in its path. Since there are 10 ray guns used with less intensity at different angles the healthy tissue isn't damaged
in real radiotherapy they use 1 intense ray but its rotating around the tumor and has precision controled lead shields that change shape as you go around the tumor. so there is a solution using only 1 ray gun.
Yeah if I can create 9 rayguns out of thin matter. I can also just kill the tissue with it and create a new one. Who said I only have 1 tissue to work with. No problems if it is damaged when I have 2 right.
answer for 4 TRIANGLES..
u'll make a triangle with 3 sticks then other three will be placed on that three passing through midpoint of each this will form inverted triangle.. and 4 triangles will be formed..
you can make the triangles by first making a square with only 4 matches then place the 2 remaining matches as diagonals. those are 4 triangles
The rays had percentage settings? If we knew that, we could have solved the problem with ease.
+Blue W I think saying Low and high intensity settings should be enough. My answer was two ray guns at low intensity. I got the gist so I'm counting it as a win.
I think that's what he meant with "thinking out of the box"
+Sally D Me too but thats the dumbest answer you can probally have for this xD
+PaddyMacNasty But he said you have a raygun, which can only mean one thing. There was only one gun as far as you knew. When did it say you had more? With the information given, you suggested an idea that required something you didn't even know existed.
+Karat Carrot Seriously. Creativity =/= Crazy Solutions
0:09 You do have "a" ray gun.
Now where does other 9 came from?
+Shivam Tyagi man he was just mentioning the existence of the tool. Why would you limit yourself in the number of ray gun you can use when you're trying to cure a tumor?? x)
+CerseiDM it's not that you yourself is limiting the number of ray guns using the term "a ray gun" implys you are only given one
no but there you implied it was one of these little puzzle games where people deliberately limits yours resources and you have to find a crazy solution with ONLY the tools given. I believe the mistake people make here is to not see that this was a medical/real life problem and not a game. If you put yourself in the head of a researcher or a doctor, then you won't even think that the number of guns at your disposition to save a life would be limited.
I think it's the way the question is asked (it looks like this kind of game with limited tools) that trick people and forbid them to see the answer. It doesn't mean people aren't creative, I'm sure if you tell people "it's a real life problem not a puzzle game" many more would find the answer.
Snapping your fingers won't work. But if you were confident that operating was possible and safe, then yes it would be another solution to the problem (whether the people asking the question would accept the answer or not I would not care, a good solution is a good solution).
But I do not possess the knowledge of whether operating is possible and/or safe. This video just told me about how ray guns work. So it makes more sense to first try to come up with a solution with the ray guns. If you can't find any, then looking for alternative solutions like surgery is good (and creative) rather than give up :)
Surgery is probably way more dangerous than the ray guns though so it's cool that we have ray guns!
PS: anyway I think their "test of creativity" is very flawed here.
+FabledDaniel same
It also says that at lower intensity it can't destroy the tumor. Their solution assumes that the lower intensity will work if it is left on long enough. Moving it around doesn't increase the rays power, but prolongs the amount of time it is hitting the tumor. I agree with others, my initial thought was to perform surgery to move the good tissue out of the way.
For the six matches question break all the matches in half that would give you twelve pieces. A triangle has three sides. 12 divided by 3 give you four. Therefore you will end up with 4 triangles.
He said A ray gun, not ten god damn ray guns.
There are 5,000 hungry people and you have a loaf of bread and a fish. How do you feed them? Take 5,000 bread and fish and give each person one.
Lay two matches in the shape of an X, inside a square made from the other 4 matches. It does not say they must touch or cannot be over lapping.
Split the matches in half. Use the two halves of the first match with one of the halves of the second then break the 3rd match in halve and use the 2nd halve of the second match to complete the 2nd triangle. Repeat for remaining 3 matches.
How am I supposed to know 10 ray guns combined will not hurt the healthy tissues? You said it provides the same power.
dodekeract How am I supposed to know all of those 10% will add up if focused? I don't how those things even work!
dodekeract I somehow don't find it so obvious.
At the point where all 10 of the ray guns converge, you have a high intensity beam I guess? So you get to pick and choose EXACTLY where that high intensity spot is. I got it wrong too, cause I thought I only had the one ray gun, and I had no idea how the rays worked. EM waves would have destructive or constructive interference, radiation doesn't seem to work that way, etc. The solution I came up with, given the sparse information and no mention of limits besides "Don't damage healthy tissue with the ray gun," was to let the patient die, then cremate them with the ray gun. The objective is to remove the tumor without damaging healthy tissue. Dead tissue isn't healthy. Etc.
I know right? It's stupid.
+hidethechildren it still ends up being the same power and you can concentrate 1 ray gun just as good of not better than 10
just cut open the area, and shoot the tumor directly and then stitch them back up was my first thought when asked the question.
That's what I thought too
Me too I thought I was the only one
I said that and just shoot them through their mouth
I was about to say that but then I realized two things: you would be damaging the tissue so maybe that disqualifies the answer and you would still be hitting 100% power at the healthy tissue behind the tumor. Regardless with "A ray gun" the "creative" answer can't be the solution.
You were not paying any attention to the video then. It says you cant perform surgery!
For the matches question at the end, use two to make a cross, then use the other four to surround the cross (make it a box with a cross in it). Boom 4 triangles
+Bite Size Psych All I wrote was to perform the surgery with high intensity ray and then with low intensity afterwards. My second theory is to perform a mid intensity ray which effect 50% tumor and 50% tissue
Since when does "A ray gun" imply ten ray guns instead of just the one? Just a misleading question for a bullshit test.
+aDotFromTheFuture
ikr
+aDotFromTheFuture That's the point of question. It's all hypothetical, you're supposed to use cognitive thinking to create a solution with very limited information.
I was thinking the same thing
Fucking retarted riddle. It literally gave ME a tumor.
He said A ray gun not 10 ray guns!Geez
+Ema Žnidarec you could still take that one ray gun and shoot, then re-position to the next spot and shoot and get the exact same effect as proposed. Still gonna damage the other tissue though, but the DNA damage won't be as focused on one line of tissue...
+ka da It has to be at the same time.
wellllll actually from a biochemical standpoint any amount of radiation will damage cellular DNA and it does have a stack-up effect which eventually kills the cell so it does not have to be at the same time. Sort of like how it always takes several specific DNA mutations to form a cancer cell. In the real world (and this is actually starting to be done) one gun would work just fine and would be far more cost effective...
But just to throw another solution out there, how about some reflectors that make it into several beams with one gun.
+ka da I would of had taken a mirror and used the reflection over time. Like starting a fire with glasses.
+ka da but there would still only be one beam in the end
To answer your last riddle. The answer i think you want is. Make an X with 2 matches then place 4 matches around the perimeter to make 4 triangles. You will have excess lengths on the sides but thats still within the question.
Though you could make 5 triangles with 6 matches. Make a triangle with 3 matches, then place a match down the middle. Which makes two triangles inside the first. Then place the 2 remaining matches in the middle of the 2 new triangles. Giving you 4 triangles within 1 bigger triangle. Again you would have excess lengths coming off, but still is within the questions parameters.
with only one gun.. like the riddle says, the best option is pulse width modulation.
You told me I only had _a_ ray gun, where did the other 9 come from
In order for that to work, I'd have to set up a prism to split the outgoing beam into 10 beams, then uses precisely aimed mirrors to converge them from different angles at the tumor
And that just opens the question
Why the hell do the individual beams need to be at 10%? You could accomplish the same thing by using 2 beams at 50% each
He said: "You do have a ray gun." One fucking ray gun. Not ten.
I said create a mirror contraption that deflects and splits the strength of the gun into multiple beams for best control and safety.
I said that you should just adjust the intensity so it's high enough to destroy the tumor, but low enough to damage little to no healthy tissue.
