Brian warned them that someone had his kids and was threatening them if anyone ate another bite of salad, but those cruel women just wouldn't stop. I understand, though, I mean, those salads looked *_really_* good!
For the perfect square one, I would’ve moved the right match to touching the left one pointing up, to make a number 4, which is a perfect square number.
The interesting thing about the first puzzle is that, in this case, this also worked with the number of vowels in each name, with each vowel being equivalent to 5. sUsAn = 10, IsAbEllA = 20, rIchArd = 10, jIm + jOhn = 5, jEnnIfEr = 15.
I've been watching scam school for a long ass time now and have always appreciated the commercials but this one...... This one is, by far, the best for me. I've watched it about 10 times now and am still laughing!!!
That last one brought back do many warm and fuzzy memories form child hood. I learned that paper portal when I was a kid. From Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert!!
Never heard of the curse of knowledge concept...as a magician and bar betting afficianado, it is really easy to think other people put the work in to learn this stuff. Thanks for an awesome episode!
Brian, you don't need to worry about being replaced. I got every single one of these (though I did think the first one was the number of vowels in the name) and I think I only got like 2 of yours in the video of your closers
I LEARNED THE LAST TRICK IN 4TH GRADE AND I WAS SO FREAKIN HAPPY WHEN HE PULLED THE SCISSORS AND THE PAPER OUT AND SAID WALK THRU IT OMGLOB THIS EARNED A LIKE
The walk through the paper trick was in an episode. Only it was cut a card big enough to pull your body through. No way I can find it through 700+ episodes but i promise its there
WEDNESDAY WIDARD POWWERSSS!! Great episode!!! Loved the multiple scams in one video... Would love to see more puzzles and riddles... of yea, and MORE FIRE!!
I got the three word one in about ten seconds, but I don't think I would have without looking at the letters. Impressive that the guy came up with "glean" in his head.
I thought the portal one was you would cut a small hole that you could just walk On or thru with your fingers. Cuz Brian said he learned it as a kid and as a kid, I used to use my fingers as “legs” to walk.
For the "Words that use these letters" one, he never said "words that ONLY use these letters", so my word puzzle brain instantly supplied "finagle" as a solution.
BrushWOOD! You said you never had this on scam school before but I strictly remember there being an episode where another magician you've highlighted showed it off with a playing card.
The 'walk through a piece of paper' I swear I saw in the Sunday comics at one point, like a 'Slylock Fox' comic. Way back in the 80's when we still read newspapers at least.
I used to do the final challenge with a playing card, and the challenge was to make a hole in the card big enough to stick your head through. Since I specialize in card magic, it made sense to use a playing card for that challenge.
haven't thought about the trick of fitting through a sheet of paper for years! better yet I've not shown my 4 year old (he loves some of the tricks I've picked up from watching this) also if you wanted to turn it into a gotcha you could always make them use the same piece of paper - by that point it would be un-unable
Update - he loved it and found it hilarious. btw, (on the chance you read this) here is a simple puzzle for you but has a gotcha in it. Line 6 glasses up in the following order (also the glasses should be almost touching or with hardle any space between them) : Empty, Full, Full, Full, Empty, Empty Moving one glass how do you get it so the glasses alternate between being full and empty - Bonus how do you make sure you get a drink out of it even if they get it correct.
@@christhompson8003 I like your setup of the glasses better than the common way of 3 full next to 3 empty. yours seems trickier. I give up, how do you get a beer if they get it right.
@@gatorguy87 like you say, its a common trick - the difference is that when you pick up the second full one and pour the beer into the last empty one you make sure that's a glass they know is your and had previously been drinking from. Probably would work well with whiskey... but depends how much of a mooch rex is feeling
So would you be able to teach simple to medium difficulty flourishes, such as multi packet cuts like the Sybil (check spelling) cut? Or would that be more suited for an extra credit? I just want the scam school version so I can learn them easily.
Another awesome show Brian you are such a badass to watch on this and modern rouge you are the best and you a Jason’s chemistry is spot on and I love you guys both always makes my day thank you.
1:45 Lincoln's way worked too, and you get the same answer if you say 5 per vowel susan 10 isabella 20 jim 5 john 5 richard 10 jennifer 15 works, i'm sure, because of the high correlation between vowels and syllables
As a suggestion for the show you could consider doing more productions with youtube personalities and stumping them with these puzzles and simultaneously asking them to execute those illusions or scams to other people and make that as a show. Same show with youtube folks :)
My answer to how to make the equation correct was to move one of the matches from the = to create a > symbol, so it would read: VII > I I don’t care what you say, I’m still counting that as a win.
I got the right answer for the wrong reason on the first one. I did double the number of letters and round down to the nearest 5. Given that letters and syllables correlate, it isn't surprising this worked in all the examples. It wouldn't work every time though.
The smaller/thinner the parts between the cuts the more you can get out of it. If you can perfectly cut 0,2mm thin stripes, you can drive a tank through the hole
There is actually another word that can be found with the letters L N G E A Lagen with several definitions, including: an obsolete unit of capacity for liquids part of the bottom of a barrel a large flask (I had to look up the definition, but I figured out the word before googling it)
That ad was amazing. *Her face when eating those couple extra bites of salad were priceless!*
Also, sorry for your loss, Brian.
Omg who died?
his kids probably, as they were kidnapped by evil salad ladies
Brian warned them that someone had his kids and was threatening them if anyone ate another bite of salad, but those cruel women just wouldn't stop.
I understand, though, I mean, those salads looked *_really_* good!
You can also move the top matchstick of the equals symbol, pivot the right side down and make 7 greater than 1.
For the perfect square one, I would’ve moved the right match to touching the left one pointing up, to make a number 4, which is a perfect square number.
I ruined the likes from 7^2 to (5^2*)2
Me too!!
Angel, angle, flange. He didn't say we couldn't use more than those five letters.
for the perfect square, move the match and make a 4, which is the square of 2
exactly what i thought about
Thought that too.
The interesting thing about the first puzzle is that, in this case, this also worked with the number of vowels in each name, with each vowel being equivalent to 5. sUsAn = 10, IsAbEllA = 20, rIchArd = 10, jIm + jOhn = 5, jEnnIfEr = 15.
exactly what i thought
omg i thought it again!
@@defnotisaiah3210 lol I've done that same thing where I'll see a video and go to comment just to see I've already commented lol
That ad has always been one of my favorites
I've been watching scam school for a long ass time now and have always appreciated the commercials but this one......
This one is, by far, the best for me. I've watched it about 10 times now and am still laughing!!!
Thanks so much, man!
That last one brought back do many warm and fuzzy memories form child hood. I learned that paper portal when I was a kid. From Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert!!
Checked the comments to see if anyone else learned it there also!
Same
I got angle, angel, and nagel, which is German for nail. If he didn't say it had to be English, that's his fault.
Never heard of the curse of knowledge concept...as a magician and bar betting afficianado, it is really easy to think other people put the work in to learn this stuff. Thanks for an awesome episode!

Like, I should feel smug but I'm actually disappointed... I want to be fooled!
For the matches making the square, I was thinking of making the numeral 4, which is a square number (2x2)
Well it's time to create a Domai... hey look is a salad!
I LEARNED THE LAST TRICK IN 4TH GRADE AND I WAS SO FREAKIN HAPPY WHEN HE PULLED THE SCISSORS AND THE PAPER OUT AND SAID WALK THRU IT OMGLOB THIS EARNED A LIKE
I love this show! Keep at it! If you don't have enough time or ideas do them with longer interwall. It's really good!!!
The last one has been covered on scam school before, it was done with a business or playing card but only enough for someone's head to pass through
The walk through the paper trick was in an episode. Only it was cut a card big enough to pull your body through. No way I can find it through 700+ episodes but i promise its there
WEDNESDAY WIDARD POWWERSSS!!
Great episode!!! Loved the multiple scams in one video...
Would love to see more puzzles and riddles... of yea, and MORE FIRE!!
Mr. Wizard's World showed me the last one, what an awesome show that was.
I got the three word one in about ten seconds, but I don't think I would have without looking at the letters. Impressive that the guy came up with "glean" in his head.
I like how the add was an old one - and one of the best
The add was wonderful.
I thought the portal one was you would cut a small hole that you could just walk On or thru with your fingers. Cuz Brian said he learned it as a kid and as a kid, I used to use my fingers as “legs” to walk.
5:38, you can also just make the equals into a greater than sign
Say in your phrasing, "...without messing up the equal sign"
For the "Words that use these letters" one, he never said "words that ONLY use these letters", so my word puzzle brain instantly supplied "finagle" as a solution.
Coincidentally, I got the first one right, but guessed it was the number of vowels in the name.
I did the same I was like well easy 5 for each vowel duh
English tends to divide syllables using vowels.
Me to google: meaning of syllable😂 language related questions were rocket science for me😅
BrushWOOD! You said you never had this on scam school before but I strictly remember there being an episode where another magician you've highlighted showed it off with a playing card.
Rich Ferguson did the body through a playing card.
more, more, more ... I'm cursed and I want more
I'm pretty sure the "walk through" paper was in one of the American Girls books, or one of their companion pieces. Weird place to learn it...
Brian loves to start his handshakes at eye level
you did cover that last riddle on scam school. you did a episode where you had to walk through a playing card before.

Trick 7 reminds me so much of the head through a playing card done on Scam School
The sponsor part was killing me I literally was asking myself what the girls were about and then he mentioned they were his daughters, hahahahahaha
5:37 doesn’t really look like the square root symbol; maybe if you had snapped it in half first. As it is, it looks like “VT = I”
To solve the first, I added 5 to each vowel in their names.
For the make a perfect square one, I though move one match so that it spells out the number 4. Because 4 is a perfect square into 2.
Jennifer puzzle also works with vowels.
Lincoln looks so happy
For the roman numerals you could do this VI > I
11:59
Brian's reaction reminded me of David Attenborough, for some reason.
I learned that paper portal thing on the Mr Wizard show. I wonder if Brian learned it from the same place.
3:17 BOOM!
3:20 Lincoln, mind blown
So would you be able to teach simple to medium difficulty flourishes, such as multi packet cuts like the Sybil (check spelling) cut? Or would that be more suited for an extra credit? I just want the scam school version so I can learn them easily.
I want to see Scam School and the Modern Rogue to come out to Philly
The last one has been shown on scamschool
I remember learning how to do that last one as a little kid, but with a playing card
The second puzzle, if you move one match you can make the number four, which is a perfect square number
Only got the Angel and angle answer because my daughter is called Angel. Love your channel Brian!
you should do the game of Nym. where 12 objects, stones, or coins are lined up, and you take turns taking stones, whoever takes the last one wins
If you're very careful, you can walk through a gum wrapper.
I learned a magic trick when I was 4 and I thought it was garbage. I recently showed it to all of my friends and they all got stumped.
Those glasses suit you well, wear them in the rogue episodes!
Another awesome show Brian you are such a badass to watch on this and modern rouge you are the best and you a Jason’s chemistry is spot on and I love you guys both always makes my day thank you.
1:45 Lincoln's way worked too, and you get the same answer if you say 5 per vowel
susan 10
isabella 20
jim 5
john 5
richard 10
jennifer 15
works, i'm sure, because of the high correlation between vowels and syllables
Doreen wouldn't really work with the vowel rule. I guess this could be an alternative!
9:13 I would have done this: Take one match from the right triangle and break it into 3 pieces to create a triforce shape in the left triangle.
glean, angel, and angle i got in 3 seconds, i feel like a damn genius. i may miss the rest though
The last one was done on Scam School by Diamond Jim Tyler with a playing card.
As a suggestion for the show you could consider doing more productions with youtube personalities and stumping them with these puzzles and simultaneously asking them to execute those illusions or scams to other people and make that as a show.
Same show with youtube folks :)
Re the perfect square: I'd have moved the match on the right to vertical on the other end of the left stick to make a 4 shape. 4 is a perfect square
wow, I just had a flash back to Mr. Wizard.
First puzzle also seems to work with every vowel equals 5
Doreen wouldn't really work with the vowel rule. I guess this could be an alternative!
5:19 i was going to say make the = a > so it says 7 > 1
I'm thinking about domains.
In the perfect square challenge, you can move one match and make 4...which is also a PERFECT SQUARE!
i mean, depending on how you count, at this point we are getting dangerously close to 700 episodes
Brian I just wanna say I loved hacking the system on the tv
My answer to how to make the equation correct was to move one of the matches from the = to create a > symbol, so it would read: VII > I
I don’t care what you say, I’m still counting that as a win.
I’m not sure if I watched a new episode or a scam school remix?? Cross over episode
The salad just killed me
Wait. Haven't you did that nr7 with card ?
I got the right answer for the wrong reason on the first one. I did double the number of letters and round down to the nearest 5. Given that letters and syllables correlate, it isn't surprising this worked in all the examples. It wouldn't work every time though.
The names also work with each vowel being worth 5.
Think I'm in love with the salad eating redhead
4:17
Leaning?
They didn't give us an "i" to play with.
The first one you can do 1 vowel is 5 too
Could I get Brian or someone else to make me a math puzzle playlist to show off to my math class. It should include ones like the square root of 1 =1
just make your own playlist
Routanne the Gamer but I’m lazy
11:22 You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
My group was able to fit 6 people through one of the paper holes cut from a small notecard
The smaller/thinner the parts between the cuts the more you can get out of it. If you can perfectly cut 0,2mm thin stripes, you can drive a tank through the hole
borstenpinsel wow, that’s cool to know
There is actually another word that can be found with the letters L N G E A
Lagen with several definitions, including:
an obsolete unit of capacity for liquids
part of the bottom of a barrel
a large flask
(I had to look up the definition, but I figured out the word before googling it)
Nagel is also a word. Maybe not an english one, language was never specified tho.
Wow thanks now I can go to the bar and get free drinks without paying
Wow, that's genius! Way better than my plan of getting free drinks by paying!
Though mine is more foolproof.
Finally a way for us dudes to get free drinks!
Micah Philson 😂😂😂 legend
Yeah, I hate paying for free stuff
I never realised anyone didn't know the paper one either
Didn't see you walk through it mate
The Lat one has been on scam school
gel can also be spelled
JESSICA PUT DOWN THE DAMN SALAD
For #3, change the equal sign to a greater than sign
Haven't we seen that salad skit before?
Love IT...but gonna say this again. .pls pls plssss another pickpocket tutorial
"Nagel" actually means nail in dutch, (as in a fingernail), so you were not wrong!
oh men, that closer, I learned it on a Simpsons magazine, is quite amazing to have it back from... I say 20 25 years?
i figured out the "How much are women worth" riddle at 7:26. they're worth 70
Edit: i too learned of the paper portal riddle when i was young
Why didnt i know this was a thing still
This episode was brought to you today by the letters r, o, b, o, t, s and the number 3
For the last one, I learned that in school but we used an index card. My team was the first to solve it
