- Most of the tricks we teach are really old (not just the ones you've heard before!), here are 3 riddles older than you are.
Btw, Brian's mic fell off during the last riddle, so if you notice his voice being weird that's because it's dubbed.

guys i'm lost... I came here looking for a good website that's fast, easy and reliable for making my own web domain. This video did not help me in my quest. :'(

Alternative solutions, and more pieces of pie.
1) If you think of the dots as the spaces in battleship (a-e for rows, 1-5 for columns), draw a1 to a2 to e2, a little below e2, to the right below e4, up through e4 to a4, right to a5, then finish drawing the top half of a crucifixion style cross above the puzzle, connecting back to a1.
2) circle 30, 19, and a 1 from either 15, 21, or 12.
3) Draw any triangle well within the pie and extend the lines to the edge of the pie for 7 pieces. Then cut the entire pie in half via a horizontal plane, separating the top crust from the bottom crust, for 14 total pieces.
You kinda got pwned this episode Brian... lol
Makroskizhar Demios I knew Brian was gonna get pwned because he is sitting with jay Harrison and this is his pawn shop.
Straight out of books I find the riddles.... pulls out his phone
Me 2 years ago: Why would there be a "c" in shwood?
Me after taking German: Why do I keep thinking there's a "c" in shwood!
I thought the second one was going to be like circle the 30, circle the 19 and then circle just the 1 in either 15 or 21
I thought the riddle was to draw "a", as in one, circle around as many numbers you want to equal 50.
So you draw one bug circle around the 25, 3, 21 and 1 (from the 12).
That was kinda my first guess as well but then I realized that my circle(!) wouldn't be able to reach the 3 without crossing the 5 (from the 15 up left).
That is why I circled everything but the 30 and the 6 and summed up every single digit (like 19 being a 1 and a 9 written very close to each other).
1)Okay, the first one, you need to think diagonally. I figured this out just as they started to do it non-diagonally.
2nd I wasn't clear on the rules, as I wasn't sure if it had to be an actual circle.
3)The most pieces you could cut with four straight cuts would be 16. You would have to arrange the pie each time you cut it though.
Keep up the great work Bryan
New drinking game: Drink every time the guy immediately to Brian's left says "Awesome".
if the object being cut is cake... it seems to me that 14 ought to be possible. Make the A like before. Then make a line that goes either through the two legs on the top or the two legs on the bottom, thus putting the count at 7. Then cut the cake horizontally through the center. Instant 14 :)
"how old are you?"
"im twelve..."
The pie riddle has a 14 pieces solution without stacking.
You do three cuts so that they form a triangle at the center of the cage. That gives you 7 pieces (the triangle at the center and 6 pieces around it). Then, you do a horizontal cut through the cake (parallel to the table) to double the pieces.
The pie riddle has a false answer. If you have a pie and cut it into even fourths, that will take two cuts. Then stack the four slices and cut down the center, giving you eight pieces. Then simply stack the pieces again and cut them again and boom, you have 16 slices of pie in 4 cuts.
You sir, are a genius.
I sure like to think so.
yes but, this is a puzzle on paper not meaning you could stack any pieces
However he said at the beginning of the riddle something along the lines of "Next time mom bakes a pie, try this one on her."
Stacking pie on pie? You're a madman!
If we had the technology to stack pies, would could bake a pie into another pie, and that would be the height of foolishness.
Man, I miss the little "join us next week" jokes at the end of the videos. We all know about The Modern Rogue. We all subscribed first chance we got, and if we didn't keeping on drilling it isn't going to help. I only ever watched to the end to see that joke, now it's just a letdown. Heck, you can plug MR and then still say the join us next time gag!
"That was awesome"
For the second puzzle I thought you meant one circle with as many numbers inside of it, not as many circles with one number each.
You can do 14 pieces of pie with five cuts. First, divide the pie into quarters with two perpendicular cuts. Then divide the top two quarters in half with another cut parallel to the first horizontal cut. Finally add an X centered above the topmost vertical line with the tails exiting the circle under the bottom most horizontal line. Ya owe me a beer, brushwood.
That said, this sophomore girl kicked both our asses: sites.google.com/a/hightechhigh.org/emily-shaffer-s-dp/10th-grade/math/pow-cutting-the-pie
Brian, I did better than you with the pie I have 12 pieces, take the pie and looking from the top cut it into fourths, then looking from the side make two cuts one 1/3 down another 2/3's down, three layers four pieces each 3*4=12. I win but am underage so you can't buy me beer, free stuff from the scam shop?
If there's a good book they'll make a movie about it
You asked for age: I am 8.4 quintillion nanaseconds old now
Actually, closer to 4.1e+17 nanoseconds
do the A and X like you said, giving 7 pieces. now do the final cut HORIZONTALLY, this gives 14 pieces, not 11!
100 years? That's 1917, hardly ancient history.
Wait mike teevee like from Willy wonka and the chocolate factory

RIP JAY
Caught that reading rainbow reference at the end, Brian.
kind of funny... me and Brian both live around Austin...
"That was awesome!"
In reality, it's actually possible to cut the pie into 14 'pieces' without needing to rearrange the pie at all. First two cuts are the same as the solution, third cut is straight line across, creating an A shape on the pie of 7 pieces, and the final cut is a long horizon cut that separates top from bottom, thus creating 14 'pieces'
This is exactly what I was about to post.
You are counting incorrectly or drawing incorrectly. You can't go from 7 to 14 pieces without cutting each of the 7 existing pieces and you can't cut every one of those existing 7 pieces with a straight line.
if you stack the pie you can actually make 32
#bringbackteespikes like if u agree
Hi Brian!
On the pie riddle:
For every existing cut you cut through, you gain a bonus piece. And of course, the cut adds another.
The first cut can AT MOST add 1 piece, because it can cut through 0 cuts.
The second cut can AT MOST add 2 pieces, because it can cut through 1 cut.
the third cut can AT MOST add 3 pieces, because it can cut through 2 cuts.
the fourth cut can AT MOST add 4 pieces, because it can cut through 3 cuts.
Starting with 1, you add 1, 2, 3, and 4, and you can guarantee that no matter the configuration, you cannot get higher than 11.
didnt try the first one but got the second and third one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome^4
I can make 14 slices:
Three on top, on down side.
32 if you dive and stack them on top of each other
yes?
Geez.. I don't think I've seen anyone solve them so fast. Time to find some dumber friends, Brian. It could get expensive buying all the beer all the time.
I can get 12 pieces with 4 cuts (last puzzle). 2 cuts (cross shape) to divide the pie into 4. 2 cuts along the height to get 3 cross sections. That will make it 12.
First, I'm 24 years old. Second, wth was that second 'riddle', it made no sense. And third, what happened during that scene that it needed a voice over haha?
Nice video guys!
*SPOILER ALERT*
*SPOILER ALERT*
Alright, I'm gonna make a time log of how well I'm doing.
Yea Buddy 1:27 and got the first one! I turned my paper so the square was rotated 45 degrees!
2:28 Ok that one was easy. 6, 19, 25. Is it a trick, like you can only make one circle, and it has to be a circle? (Nope. 2 for 2!)
3:15 Ok Ima lock this in. 11? I have a thing in the middle that looks like a paper airplane, gives me 3 extra?....AYYY LESGO
I actually got them all right!
Btw, I'm gonna send you a trick this weekend (or next weekend) that wont fool you, but it'll blow your mind!
a non sponsored episode on scam school....wow
For the pie one. Each new cut can at most split the number cut that it is. Every split piece simply adds one more to the running total.
So, you start with a whole pie, or one piece. First cut splits one piece, adding one, now you have two. Second cut can at most split two, add two, now you have four. Third, add three, have seven. Fourth add four, have eleven.
You can make this tricky. Let's say a person has used only traditional diagonal cuts to make sixteen even slices; what's the most number of pieces that can be had with one more straight cut?
Sixteen traditional slices means eight cuts, your next is the ninth, can add nine new slices, total of twenty five.
Or same thing, but backwards: how many straight cuts are needed to get exactly twenty five slices?
I can do 12 !
Inhave a riddle for you:
in the last challange, how many spaces do you obtain drawing, hypotetically, 300 lines? (you have a very big circle)
14, get seven out of three cuts which is fairly easy and then your 4th straight cut is cutting the pie in half HORIZONTALLY!!
So, this might be violating a rule, but if I cut six pieces of our with three cuts, then slice the poor horizontally through the middle I should get twelve pieces. Would this bed allowed, Brian?
come on. a pie has a certain height so geometrixally it must be possible to cut trough all pieces with each cut: look at it from the side and cut twice, cossing the two cuts. then look at it from the top and cut a 90°cross trough the center again. You will get 2^4=16 pieces
Assuming pies are 3D, you can make 14 pieces by using 3 cuts vertically to make 7 pieces, then cutting it horizontally to make 14
Gotta work on those ADR skills but always remember, reverb is your friend! Otherwise good job ;)
Brian on the second riddle, I solved it differently...I added the sum of each number fe 15 is 1 + 5 and I added them all together to get 59 so I just eliminated one 9 and I utilized all the numbers...I hope I feel smart
The rules of the second one were ambiguous. I got that answer but it was too easy, so I thought it must have meant to just use one circle. You can draw a single circle around the 25, 21, 3 and just the first digit of the 12.
good advice read some old books. if any One should ask you how you know that, doesn't matter what......Tel them you read it in a book. hlHow cool is that for complete get out
I can get 16 pieces of pie with straight cuts. Just after each cut stack the one half on the other half and cut in half again. So the first slice is 2, take the two halves and stack them on top of each other and then cut that in half now you have 4, once more is 8, then finally 16 by repeating.
You can get 14 out of the pie riddle. 3 vertical cuts (something similar to what they did) then one horizontal cut.
the second one had so many solutions that i dont know how it was considered a riddle. maybe if there was a limit to the number of circles you could draw... there wasnt a rule that said you couldnt draw a circle around just the second digit of the numbers.
Lazy caterer's sequence
1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, 29, 37, 46, 56, 67, 79, 92, 106, 121, 137, 154, 172, 191, 211, ...
OEIS: A000124
For the second one I did 19,12,6 and did 19x12 which is 228, divided by 6 is 38, plus 12 is 50
"Take a look it's in a book" that Reading Rainbow reference. Nice one Brian
Did anyone else catch the "Reading Rainbow" joke at the end....... god I'm old.
I remember that last puzzle from the Simpsons. I believe it's the hardest math problem from a math competition Bart is in?
With the pie, cut the top half and the bottom half by a horizontal cut. Then cut normally the last line and get to 12 pieces
You could also circle parts of numbers like 15, 25, 9, and the 1 from 21 on the second one.
At 2;14 he was laughing without moving his mouth lol! Awesome tricks!
o7 for Jay! Keep up the good work on SC and SQ42
Nice
i notice you tap the bottom of your can on the table after you "cheers'd" and your brother did the same - haven't seen that before
the 2nd one was done wrong. Draw a circle, they drew 3. Otherwise it wasn't much of a riddle
To get 12 on the pie problem, just cut the pie into sixths with the first three cuts, then flip the pie on its side and cut it once lengthwise.
did anyone else think of reading rainbow when he said take a look its in a book
That's what he was going for :)
I wonder if that was the joke... °ﺑ°
the first puzzle was used in professor Layton on the DS.... oh the memories
Brian must have the world's strongest liver to drink that much beer.
A better join the dots puzzle is a grid of nine dots to be joined by four continuous straight lines.
Butterfly in the sky!!!! . . . . take a look its in a book
its reading rainbow
I got 13 for the pie
That was awesome that was awesome that was awesome that was awesome THAT WAS ANNOYING
In pie the fourth cut can be parallel to base ! That will double the no. of pieces with three cuts.
its a pie... cut it sideways (into 2 circles) and then 3 cuts gives you 14
Some say that it wasn't awesome... those people know the meaning of the word awesome.
That's awesome, that's awesome, that's awesome...that's awesome, that was awesome, that was awesome.
for the 2nd one i did 9, 25, 15 and the 1 from the 12...
You could get 12 slices by splitting the pie into 6 sections using your first 3 cuts, then cutting the pie horizontally through the side
By that logic you can cut the pie into 7 pieces then cutting it horizontally to make 14 pieces (the 7 pieces is made by making a bit of a radioactive-y pattern
Chatovato try it on paper it doesn't work
That wouldn't work. If you cut it into 6 sections, you get 6 pointing inwards a circle. No matter how you cut that with the last cut, it still only makes 9 at most.
If you cut with 3 vertical lines, you only get 4 pieces, which when cut horizontally, is only 8/
The point is that the horizontal line is through the z=h/2 (where h = "height" or thickness of the pie) plane in the 3-dimensional case of the "pie", as pies are 3 dimensional in shape (a cylinder to be exact)
... The Pie was just a physical way to give the problem. The question is still "What is the maximum amount of [plural term for separate compartments created by the cuts] that you can make from a circle using just 4 straight lines?".
my god
Mike teavee
anybody see Charlie and the chocolate factory
hey! foundry 42!! love those guys.
the numbers cirlced total to make 50 was fairly easy
you can get 12 if you cut 2 cuts down from the top and 2 cuts from the side
Imagine how boring and annoying it would be going for a pint with this guy
I managed to get 15 pieces... then I realised I made 5 cuts.
You can get 32 slices by cutting horizontally
As soon as I saw the video in my feed, I clicked it and clicked like
No Scam School episode is bad :)
slice the cake twice then cut down twice makes twelve kaboom
I can do 12 on the pie trick...cut 1 2 3 normal cuts making 6 slices then cut horizontally to get 6 more making 12 total
that’s mathematically impossible. the maximum number of pieces you can get by drawing 4 lines through a circle with each line intersecting with the maximum number of lines is only 11, no more, no less.
you must’ve missed something on your trial
I can see Brian likes beer, more importantly, free beer
Brian I love all the puzzles and riddles there so fun
who else made 12 pieces. pie is three dimensional bro
#BRINGBACKTHESPIKES
Anyone else agree?
I can get 12 pieces of cake with 4 straight cuts
These riddles were too easy. Disappointed..
Matt looks like an Irish Duncan Trussell
audible should have had a sponsor spot this episode
i have better answer for 2nd puzzle
