    Your expedition finally stands at the heart of the ancient temple. But as you study the inscriptions in the darkness, two wisps of green smoke burst forth. The walls begin to shake. The giant sandglass begins flowing with less than an hour before it empties, and a rumbling tells you that you don’t want to be around when that happens. Can you use math to escape the temple? Dennis E. Shasha shows how.

    There's another solution. If you just tell the group to NOT come back if they find the exit (regardless of how you split it up), you could just notice who never came back when you return and go down their path. This works because you said the possessed members only have their "communication" hampered, their actual actions (Like, leaving the cave), are supposedly kept in tact.

    • @MrGuy271
      @MrGuy271 8 ปีที่แล้ว +326

      My thought process is that the two liars actions are not influenced by the curse, only their "communication". I am trying to override this issue by turning an action into an inadvertent communication.

      +Cucas 360 In fact, now that I think about it, the method in the video does NOT work if there is a trap in one of the paths. The criteria for solving this riddle was "ensure you ALL escape". If there's a trap and any of them dies, then not everyone escapes.

  • @andreashaugeandersen2421
    @andreashaugeandersen2421 3 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    Another solution would be to agree that the group which finds the exit just walks out, then the rest can see which path no one came back from since he said "the curse ONLY affects their communication" therefore not their movement

  • @Just.breathe..
    @Just.breathe.. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I guess there is an easier way:
    As the curse only affects the communication the lead the leader can split the group in 2,3,3 and ask them to find the exit. And tell them that the group which finds the exit has to make 1 person stay at the exit and the rest should come back. In this way the group which has the missing person has found the correct exit.

      Yeah but then two students might suicide by not coming back. Or two might come back from different tunnels. Not coming back when it isn't the exit or coming back when it is would be the equivalent of lying. So as long as u go one two three three, this would work, but two students might die.

      This won't work though.
      The cursed students may lie only sometimes, so we have no idea whether they are lying or telling the truth at any given time. If only one student of either trio is arguing with the other two, does this mean that:
      a) he is cursed and is lying, while the other two students from the trio are telling the truth (and the other cursed is in a different group) OR,
      b) he is not cursed, is telling the truth and the other two from the same trio are the cursed, paired together and lying?
      It would be impossible to determine and we would have two doors to eliminate, which means our chance of survival would be 50 / 50. (Which is easily solved if we pair together the two students from our own trio and we go alone.)

But if a group has none they found the altar.

    here's my answer:
    as you know you're not cursed, you stay in the middle and you don't move. As the curse only affects your communication and not what you do, you tell everyone that if they find the exit, they leave. You divide the groups into 3, 3 and 2 and wait for all the groups to come back and you go down the path that the group which didn't return went down. This way everyone is saved

    You could also divide all groups into 3, including the trio you're in, and leave 1 path unexplored. This would create the same concept of answering with confidence for the students. If none of the explored paths show up as the exit, you know it's the unexplored path.

      If you don't mention the curse, it won't be a problem. Just assume the role of leader, split the groups of people into 3 and 2, and send them off, telling them to report back whether it is the exit or not. Of course, it's no guarantee, but people in a panic tend to divert responsibility to somebody else in dangerous situations (To avoid the risk of it being their fault if anyone dies), especially if there is someone willing to be a leader.

    One other thing you could do is just tell each group “If you find the exit don’t come back.” If the curse only affects communication it wouldn’t force the possessed to come back in and then everyone just takes the path that did not have a returning group (as long as you keep track of who went where). While there is a risk that something could happen to keep multiple groups from returning, that could still happen in any scenario anyway so the risk is not much different.

    There seem to be an awful lot of people asking what happens if both possessed students are in a trio and both lie. If that's the case then that trio will give an inconsistent answer, so that will account for at least one of the possessed students, meaning that both other groups will have at least one student that isn't possessed and will therefore tell the truth, and as those groups' answers will be consistent you therefore know that they're telling the truth

    I was stuck for really long in the wrong approach of sending 0 students on one path, hoping to somehow get good enough of a ratio of truth-tellers in the other paths. Eventually it dawned on me that when I've sent 4 or 5 students to one path, splitting the remaining ones in the other two paths in any way is equivalent to sending all of them too on another single path, you cannot determine which of the two ways to go when there are 2 possessed among them. That completely ruled out sending 4 or 5 on a single path, making 3 the viable maximum per path.

    I think there are three solutions to this problem. The first, obviously, is above, but I think there are two more:
    1) Split into three groups of three and try three of the four paths. Tell them if they find an exit, go ahead and escape. If everyone returns, the exit must be path no one checked. Since three people are in each group, at least one person would escape if he found an exit, regardless of who he's paired with. If fewer than 9 people return, you know one of the explored paths is the exit. You can safely take the path fewer than 3 people returned on. If three are missing, all three were not cursed. If two are missing, then one was cursed and decided to to return to deceive the others, and you can ignore his testimony. If only one is missing, the two that returned are cursed, and you can ignore their testimony.
    2) Split into three groups of three and try three of the four paths. When everyone returns, if there are two disagreements, then the cursed individuals are in two different groups and you can side with the majority in every case. If the majority of one group found an exit, take that path If the the majority in all three groups failed to find an exit, take the unexplored path. If there is only one disagreement, then both cursed individuals are in the same group, and you should side with the minority. If either one of the two consensus groups or the one minority found an exit, take that path. If they didn't, take the unexplored path.
    Edit: I acknowledge the fault in my second solution below.

    • @juliahormayer7255
      @juliahormayer7255 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Scott Simmons 1) if only one returns you can't know whether the other two are telling the truth. So if they say, it's the wrong path, they could either be lying and the third one escaped or they are telling the truth and the third one is cursed.

    • @juliahormayer7255
      @juliahormayer7255 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think you forgot that they could also be telling the truth.

    • @ScottSimmons
      @ScottSimmons 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Julia Hörmayer Sure, I don't know if they're telling the truth, but I don't need to know. I know that one didn't return, and that shows that this path is the exit. If it weren't the exit, then all three would return. He says that the curse only affects their communication--that is, they would lie. It does seem that the problem assumes that they would do as they're told.
      However, if we allow that the cursed ones may hide to trick the others and deceive them, then I think we're still okay. If one returns and says "There's no exit on this path the other two are hiding," then if true, everyone else who returned would agree with the others in their respective groups, and we could safely identify the two who didn't return as cursed. If two return and say, "There's no exit on this path, the third is hiding," then if true, there would be at most one disagreement, and the truth tellers would be in the majority. In effect, that altered scenario 1 becomes almost identical to my scenario 2. The difference would be there are two ways to deceive--either by returning and lying or hiding.

    • @juliahormayer7255
      @juliahormayer7255 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Scott Simmons You're right I forgot about the part where it affects only the communication.
      If it wouldn't though and one would come back and say that the other two in his group were hiding, he could also be lying.

    • @ScottSimmons
      @ScottSimmons 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Julia Hörmayer Yes, but now you have me rethinking my #2. Since it's possible one cursed person might decide to tell the truth, if there is only one disagreement, it could be that both cursed people are in the same group, or it could be that one cursed one is in that group and the other is telling the truth in a different group. If that's the case, then we would need to side with the majority, even if there's only one disagreement. I think I may need to retract my second solution. If there's only one disagreement, I'm not sure you could determine what the truth is, since only 3 of the 4 options were explored.

      but if there is two liars in the same group, there will be only one person saying the truth, right?
      since the other groups all are honest, they wont be disagreeing within their own group.
      ir there's one liar, there will be two groups disagreeing with each other.
      so you can still tell where the liars are.

    • @lukedavies6646
      @lukedavies6646 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Say we used your method, what if both liars went into one trio, none of the trios found the exit, which is a 25% chance, but both liars said they'd found the exit? The two trios consisting of truthful people would say they hadn't found it, so you'd follow the trio where the majority said they had, and you'd go down their path and find a dead end. We're looking for a solution that works 100% of the time, and yours is not it.

    • @ngjon
      @ngjon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +138

      That won't work because you don't know if the possessed will lie or not for example if a group of three come back and one group is arguing you will assume that the 2 who agree are both the possessed where as a possessed might be agreeing with a non possessed

      @@ngjon but couldn't you change your anwser (in a sarcastic tone of course) if that happens so you could signal the other groups that you were right and that they are the liars, because there would be no reason for a second person to change their anwser, and that the ones possessed can only lie or tell the truth so they shouldn't be able to think of something like that (hope that made sense)
