    The pen was a dud. The page he pretended to write on was already prewritten

    I mean there’s an algorithm for generating a 4x4 magic square for numbers between the range you gave, so it’s just about how you knew the number she wrote, which could be a million things in a TV studio

      She said "You given me a clipboard" that is how he knew what she wrote

      All the numbers are presumably already written other than 18, 19, 20, 21 as these are the numbers that need to change to get any answer. It's hard to work out how he knows her number, but if he does he only needs to know to -21, -22, -23, -24 from that number to fill those 4 squares.

      @@hencoleit’s prompt engineering. magicians use it all the time. in this case saying between twenty-five and sixty. Well, the brain simply things 2+1=3 and 0-1=9, so 39. The brain will sort of default to these engineered prompts because you’re distracted by thinking what the trick could be.

      He stole Numberphile’s algorithm without even fact checking it. Hey dumb dumb, add up the top middle 2x2 and bottom middle 2x2 and you won’t get 39 😂

    It’s actually mathematically impossible to do this and also have all 2x2 checked using Numberphile’s algorithm unless n=34. What he should have done is memorize the board and added 5, starting with a minimum of 34. When n=34, it’s the magic square anyway. An easy way to calculate this yourself would simply to show 2^16 combinations - or we can show the number in binary, and we show that for each binary number which only has four 1s that it is impossible to have exactly one 1 in each set of squares.

    Saw you switch the rubik's cube after Colin handed it to you. He tried to cover it, but one face was clearly visible, so you're both busted.

    Everyone needs to chill, its a good trick. How would he know she would pick 39. Very impressive

    My guess is that he paid Rachel $39.

    That's actually class. 👏👏 hate maths tricks because my brain can't work out any theory on how this is done. 🤣🤣

    Well I chose 39 and I was not even in the studio.

      Prompt engineering. 2+1 = 3. 0-1=9. Your brain will automatically do these calculations while you’re thinking of what kind of trick he is performing lol

  • @olli3686
    @olli3686 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This guy stole Numberphile’s solution without any credit 😂 and he doesn’t even understand it. Hey buddy, if you add those 2x2 on your top middle or bottom middle, you won’t get 39. In fact, your bottom middle numbers will never change and always be 34 for this method. If you wanted to be correct in all cases, you should have prompt engineered for 34 instead of 39.
