When he revealed the message, I was like how do we know the columns aren’t all the same letter? Since we know one and only one tile is chosen from each column. But it turns out i was right. That was the point.
Not just that, but arranging the cards at the end in the already predetermined order. If they were placed in the order they were randomly generated, or selected by Person B or whatever, and then that always spelt out a message as well that'd be interesting. But also, y'know, impossible.
That’s what I thought as well. Glad I’m not the only one who thought that way. I figured that would be the easiest way to guarantee that message always showing up

This feels silly. Given that the horizontal doesn’t matter, you’re just making people “select” a bunch of units. And the fact that they all are only moved down to the bottom at the end, makes it incredibly obvious what’s going on.
The removal of the horizontal cards, does 2 things, it guarantees different each card is at a different y level, and slightly obfuscates the trick, I saw through the trick before he removed the second row, tho kinda hoped the horizontal cards being removed was adding complexity, I couldn't think of a way this could reliably be done but in the beginning he claimed, there was 1 way this could be messed up, so I was hoping someone smarter then me had figured out a way to do exactly that
Perhaps a version more akin to magic squares would be having 12! distinct messages, and so in that version every row would be nonsense, but anything other than that would be valid. Seems more doable in English language with a lower number (maybe 4!, where it produces 4! Distinct words), but regardless it sounds more satisfying than this illusion of choice

uh, doesn't have anything to do with magic squares, does it ? you're just keeping one card from each row and if the rows are full of the same letter then yeah duh you're going to have the same sentence
I suppose the trick is a bit less mesmorising if you end up with an entire column after n-1 choices instead of just the final 1 letter that got isolated
I have a simpler version of this game: Just arrange 12 cards in a row, and then randomly pick cards until you've picked 12 unique cards. Then reveal the magical random message! That's essentially the same game. In the version in the video you choose out of 12 columns and 12 rows, but the choice of row doesn't matter since it's just the same row duplicated 12 times.
I thought it would be something mindblowing, but turns out it was just the lame hypothesis that instantly crossed my mind when you told me how it would work
When you realize the message is just repeated over and over, there is no opportunity for you to get a 'wrong' character. You are just selecting a random character in the sequence, then removing all occurrences of that specific character. Honestly, the game would work even if you didn't clear each row, just the columns.
@@hahafreepremium3990 Think you got it mixed up. If you clear the columns, then you remove all the duplicates. And since each row is the same, the choice of row for each column does not matter.

7:05 You're going to have to explain what you mean by that. Because adding the 9 numbers of those squares doesn't give 34. And how could it be when a 2 by 2 square _inside it_ already has a sum equal to 34?

Now that I'm in uni these videos aren't as enjoyable as they used to be when I was in middleschool :/ It's just predictable and almost obvious when u have some basic math intuition

That would make sense, but this vid in particular had a super obvious “secret” for how it worked. I still don’t understand how this is even a variation of magic squares. This would be predictable to anyone paying good attention.
I think you could get a number from 1 to 12 with a d6, if each number in the d6 represents one pair of numbers from 1 to 12. For example, rolling a one means 1 or 2, rolling a 2 means 3 or 4, rolling a 6 means 11 or 12. Then you roll another d6 to get which number in the pair. Above 3 is the second number, and the rest is the first number. Example: You roll a 3 and a 5. Number 3 corresponds to the 5 or 6 pair, then number 5 is above 3 so it's the 6.
as long as you can tell the two d6 apart if they're the same color, how would you decide which one tells the pair, and which one tells which one if the pair?
Yes, it might be a lame trick, but like he said, it's somewhat decent for a marriage proposal if the other person doesn't realize what's going.

You didn't dissapoint, this might be the easiest one yet. The maths and theory behind it is super interesting! The fact that the message is not scrambled in any way, it's just covered and repeated on each row, was... Underwhelming? Nice concept though, love these things, even if they don't make interesting games imo
For 3 by 3 magic squares, this is kind of unrelated but no matter what, the center is 5, the edges are odd, and the corners are even. If you follow that rule, it’s really simple to solve them.
I like magic squares, but this thing seems kind of silly. You randomly pick one letter from each column. But each column just has a bunch of identical letters. So you don't have any choice. I don't really get how this is complex or interesting.
The moment you collapsed the chosen squares into the x-axis I realized the trick! You are basically telling me that the y-coordinate is useless, it was a simple deduction then that it is useless because the message repeats!
Its like giving a Player repeativly The choice out of 5 cards to chosse, but all the cards are the same. And the magicly a word appears? Its realy Not that complex, you can maybe fool some younger kids but thats where it stops.
This one seems a little too obvious for grown ups. As soon as you removed the row and column I fell most people would know what's up. Could work for kids though.
i was hoping this had something to do with magic squares. i spent a few minutes right before the reveal trying to think of a different way this could be done without much progress, but you ended up presenting the most obvious solution.
7:20 There are some mistakes about the 34 1. Numbers 2. Rows and colummns, diagonals - 34 3. Outside squares - 34 4. Center square - 34 5. Corners - 34 6. Inner rectangles - 68 (34x2 because its #4 + my exampe #13) 7. Diagonal rhombusses - 34 8. 3x3 blocks - 69, 72, 81, 84 (from left to right and up todown) 9. Vertical "X" - 34 10. Horizontal "X" - 34 11. Trapezoids - 51 12. Squaews that dont use the corners - 34 But there is another way to get to 34 13. (3+2) + (15+14) OR (5+9) + (8+12) The basic rule seems to be to use 4 numbers which will give you geometric forms or a kind of mirage reflection. #11 is giving at least the same numbers like #5 but #8 is complete out of position and i couldnt find any connection to 34. Edit: #13 was meant when he draw #6 #8 you just take the corners #11 just the edges (3+13 and 4+14) The rule is always to take the 4 numbers or in bigger geometric forms the 4 corners
Your #13 is what he actually meant by the inner rectangles, I don’t know why it’s not just called the inner edges or something. But yeah I can’t figure out #8 at all
@@ashleycao523 Ok so that makes #11 following the same rule - i was just thinking too simple and ignore that he specially marked it with points before he connected
thought many will comment about the mistake on 7:12 but turn out there are more talking about the connection between the random game and the magic square
Exactly how would that work? I understand that one of the dice would represent the odd numbers from 1 to 12 and the other one the even numbers, and then the dice are rolled, but do you sum up the two numbers?
The moment you removed the rest of the row and column I started to suspect that all the rows were the same.
Yeah that's what I thought too
Yeah that was so lame but the explaination about Magic Square and stuff was fascinating.
Big agree
I thought about it but also thought, that can't be it. Oh how wrong I was.
@Luís Andrade No, repeating the message on every line is what makes it work. Magic squares honestly have nothing to do with that at all.

If the columns weren't removed there would/might be the same letter of the message twice

The trick was immediately obvious, but the magic square talk was interesting. My only question is... Where's the relation?

Nice concept though, love these things, even if they don't make interesting games imo
When he started deleting rows and columns my traumas of calculating determinants of matrices kicked in.
For 3 by 3 magic squares, this is kind of unrelated but no matter what, the center is 5, the edges are odd, and the corners are even. If you follow that rule, it’s really simple to solve them.
I like magic squares, but this thing seems kind of silly. You randomly pick one letter from each column. But each column just has a bunch of identical letters. So you don't have any choice. I don't really get how this is complex or interesting.
So if all the columns are full of the same letter then there literally is no trick. Am I missing something or is there no point to this?
The moment you collapsed the chosen squares into the x-axis I realized the trick! You are basically telling me that the y-coordinate is useless, it was a simple deduction then that it is useless because the message repeats!
finally, a way to banish Mr. Mxyzptlk without saying his name
Watching VSauce2 is like watching a scientist explain everything in the universe as a 3 year old.
if 1 six sided dice lands on the other you can get 1
guys i get this video was not perfect but nobody can always make mindblowing videos
Its like giving a Player repeativly The choice out of 5 cards to chosse, but all the cards are the same. And the magicly a word appears? Its realy Not that complex, you can maybe fool some younger kids but thats where it stops.
Wait so there ain't no real magic?! Every single one of the papers already has the word on it!? Oh man, I was really hoping to see a real magic thing
No such thing as real magic but I get ur point
"A dog is not a hand tool."
*You're just not trying hard enough.*
When we gonna get a new episode of mindblow? We are overdue for one.
That dice rolling exercise looks tedious. I appreciate how hard you work on these videos 👍🏼
Wait so each column had the same exact letter? At first I thought the color of the paper corresponded to a unique letter.
Now I'm trying to make a 4x4 square where you do the same thing, but you get a different word for each combination
Yeah, at least that is interesting.
5:55 and if you ask a high school student, they might tell you that's a meaningless distinction.
Everywhere I hear "[...], right?", I immediately think "WRONG!"...
Okeyy, i understand the game and understand the magic square explanation. But where is the correlation?
The word "square" is in both? Best I've got. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
This one seems a little too obvious for grown ups. As soon as you removed the row and column I fell most people would know what's up. Could work for kids though.
i was hoping this had something to do with magic squares. i spent a few minutes right before the reveal trying to think of a different way this could be done without much progress, but you ended up presenting the most obvious solution.

There are some mistakes about the 34
1. Numbers
2. Rows and colummns, diagonals - 34
3. Outside squares - 34
4. Center square - 34
5. Corners - 34
6. Inner rectangles - 68 (34x2 because its #4 + my exampe #13)
7. Diagonal rhombusses - 34
8. 3x3 blocks - 69, 72, 81, 84 (from left to right and up todown)
9. Vertical "X" - 34
10. Horizontal "X" - 34
11. Trapezoids - 51
12. Squaews that dont use the corners - 34
But there is another way to get to 34
13. (3+2) + (15+14) OR (5+9) + (8+12)
The basic rule seems to be to use 4 numbers which will give you geometric forms or a kind of mirage reflection.
#11 is giving at least the same numbers like #5 but #8 is complete out of position and i couldnt find any connection to 34.
Edit:
#13 was meant when he draw #6
#8 you just take the corners
#11 just the edges (3+13 and 4+14)
The rule is always to take the 4 numbers or in bigger geometric forms the 4 corners
Your #13 is what he actually meant by the inner rectangles, I don’t know why it’s not just called the inner edges or something. But yeah I can’t figure out #8 at all
He makes it a bit vague but it’s always 4 numbers which are the 4 corners of the shapes. #8 gives you 34 if you just sum the 4 corners of the squares
@@ashleycao523 Ok so that makes #11 following the same rule - i was just thinking too simple and ignore that he specially marked it with points before he connected
Before I have seen the result - I’m guessing that all the columns or rows are the same letter for each
thought many will comment about the mistake on 7:12 but turn out there are more talking about the connection between the random game and the magic square
This one was pretty easy to figure out compared to some of your other videos!
Watching this instead of sleeping at 3AM wasn't a good idea. I am tripping Kevin, thanks.
I thought you were playing us in the beginning. Every row has the same message. And your "selection" just grabs one from each row and collumn.
Who else figured out the trick before he revealed it?
1:05 Yes, we can use two normal 6-side dice. Just treat one of the dice as ODD = 0, EVEN = 6. Now all numbers 1-12 have the same chance.
Exactly how would that work? I understand that one of the dice would represent the odd numbers from 1 to 12 and the other one the even numbers, and then the dice are rolled, but do you sum up the two numbers?
