      @@bobonox4233 honestly, i believe that considering we can only use one disc throughout, our best shot in winning is to go with B, and hope that luck favours us in both the rounds, getting a four against A and C disc will do the trick, if C ends up in 1 instead of 5. The second way could be to pick A, in which case our odds of winning might just be a bit more better, considering B and C have greater odds of getting 2 or 1 respectively

      @@bobonox4233 I believe A is slightly favored to win round 3.
      Multiply each disk's chance of winning in round 1 by their chance of winning round 2.
      Assuming your opponent will always choose their best option in round 1, odds of winning for each disk are:
      A (against C) = 51%
      B (against A) = 44%
      C (against B) = 22%
      Multiply by odds of winning round 2:
      A = 51% x 29% = 14.79%
      B= 44% x 33% = 14.52%
      C = 22% x 38% = 8.36%
      Therefore A is slightly favored over B in round 3!

    0:10 Just the name "Diskymon"
    0:29 Burgersaur is very similar to Bulbasaur, one of the three first starter Pokémon.
    0:31 Churrozard is very similar to Charizard, the final evolution of Charmander, one of the three first starter Pokémon.
    0:46 Wartortilla is very similar to Wartortle, the middle-stage evolution of Squirtle, one of the three first starter Pokémon.
    1:01 "No matter what type it is" referencing the type system in Pokémon.
    2:09 A reference to Jessie and James' famous line "Prepare for trouble! And make it double!" from the anime.
    2:39 Being a Diskymon trainer is just like how you could be a Pokémon trainer.
    4:47 A reference to "I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was!" from the theme song in the anime (I haven't seen that much of it so I don't know if it's still used in modern episodes).

    The bonus question is the nicest of all three:
    1st round: There are two possibilities for any disk you pick. Because the opponent is going to pick according to your pick, we are going to consider only the lowest winning odds (the opponent will choose in order to minimize your odds). For A this is 51%. For B this is 44%. For C this is 38.22%.
    2nd round: The video explains this well. Just considering the second round, the odds of A winning is 28.56%. For B this is 33.22%. For C this is 38.22%.
    3rd round: In order to get the odds of A winning this round, one must multiply A1 and A2, which gives 14.57%. Multiplying B1 and B2 give 14.62%. C1 and C2 give 14.61%.
    We see that all three disks have incredibly similar odds, with B just barely coming out on top.
    But the point is that there really is no difference no matter which one you pick. Cool, innit?

    • @ah2190
      @ah2190 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Indeed, but as B has a slight edge over the other two, you should go for that and stick with it. But, if it was that you have to face both of them in 1-on-1 matches, with all three of you locked to the same disk, followed by the battle royal with you still locked to the same disk, and you have to win all three matches, then B trumps out.
      This is because in the case where you have to fight both of the unchosen disks in succession, A has a 28.56% chance of coming out on top after both fights, B has a 27.18% chance and C has only an 18.73% chance. And, as Raen showed, A has the same odds to win the battle royal, B has a 33.22% chance to win and C has a 38.22% chance.
      Combining these, and A would have an 8.16% chance of winning all three fights, B would have a 9.03% chance and C would have a 7.16% chance of winning.
      Either way, those two rivals really wanted to rig the odds to be not in your favour.

    • @milaaqui
      @milaaqui 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think you have to calculate every possibility so the chances add up to 100%. Your first opponent won't pick thinking only about beating you in round 1, their strategy should be the same as yours. This leaves Disk A with ~31% chance of winning, Disk B with ~35% and Disk C with ~33%. Now the odds for Disk B are better.

  • @jeffwei
    @jeffwei 3 ปีที่แล้ว +579

    For anyone curious, the answer to the third round is disk B.
    There’s actually two ways to look at this: does your opponent always choose the best disk to beat you in round 1? Or do they calculate the best remaining disk to maximize their odds of winning both rounds?
    If we consider the first case, then the odds of winning are just multiplied:
    A: .51 * .2856 = 14.57%
    B: .44 * .3322 = 14.62%
    C: .3822 * .3822 = 14.61%
    So disk B is the best to keep for both rounds with a 14.62% chance of winning.
    Now consider if the opponent considers that they also have to keep their choice for the battle royale, so they pick based on those odds instead of just the best disk to beat you in the first round. I’ll save you the tedious calculations, but in every case the opponent still picks the same one and the results are the same.

    • @squatpump999
      @squatpump999 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@Carlos Soprano It's because if you choose Disk C in round 1 the best option to counter it is Disk B (51% chance of summoning level 1 to lose no matter what + ~11% (.22*.49) chance to lose even w the lvl 5 summon)

    • @Bloodlf
      @Bloodlf 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At first I calculated the mean result of each disk. Like that B was the best disk as it has a mean expected value of 3.32 which is more than 3 of disk A and 2.96 of disk C. I think the answer for the last riddle is B because with many tries you get the best expected value. But it could also be C if you really need to win each battleroyal and not get the most levels

    For the bonus round the chances of winning the entire time: (Assuming your enemy makes the most intelligent decision to combat you each time. Also round one, disk A is best combated by disk C, not B like what was used in the video; I used the proper calculation to give you the worst odds per disc for each round. Also it's so close, that I had to skip rounding.)
    A: 14.5656%
    B: 14.6168%

      @Carlos Soprano we have to choose first during the first riddle. If we were going second and our opponent picked C we would counter pick with B it's just A has no weak matchups so it's the best when you go first.

    For anyone wondering about the final question, you pick B!
    A has 51% (1st round) x 28.56% (2nd round) = 14.57% chance of winning both rounds.
    B has 44% (opponent would pick A round 1) x 33.22% = 14.62% chance of winning both rounds.
    C has 38.22% (opponent would pick B round 1) x 38.22% = 14.61% chance of winning both rounds.
    Fascinating how any one of the three disks can be made the best choice with such simple rule changes.

    • @av.keshavshastry7785
      @av.keshavshastry7785 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Edit:
      This is correct assuming that the opponent is logically good and will choose as you said in 1st round.
      Since that's not mentioned explicitly, we will have to assume that she has a 50% chance of selecting either of the other 2 disks.
      In round 1, opponent can pick any one of the 2 disks.
      A has 0.5×0.51+0.5×0.56=0.535
      B wins over C 0.6178 of the times.
      Hence, if B is selected, 0.5×0.6178+0.5×0.44=0.5289
      Similarly with C, 0.4361
      Then the rest of the logic is similar as yours.

      Had to scroll way down to find this, but no - THIS IS INCORRECT.
      They should pick C!
      The odds of C beating B is 51% x 78% = 39.78%. (It looks like you mistakenly jotted down 38.22% twice).
      This gives their overall odds to be 39.78% x 38.22% = 15.20%, making C the best chance of winning.

      You probably might have a rounding error from using whole numbers; from what I've calculated, here's the full list:
      Choice A:
      In round 1, victory chances against B and C are 56% and 51% respectively; opponent chooses C to better their odds.
      In round 2, victory chances are 28.56%.
      Multiply together for a chance of 14.5656%.
      Choice B:
      In round 1, victory chances against A and C are 44% and 61.78% respectively; opponent chooses A to better their odds.
      In round 2, victory chances are 33.22%.
      Multiply together for a chance of 14.6168%.
      Choice C:
      In round 1, victory chances against A and B are 51% and 38.22% respectively; opponent chooses B to better their odds.
      In round 2, victory chances are 38.22%.
      Multiply together for a chance of 14.607684%.
      So, B comes out on top for its relative consistency across both rounds, but only very slightly.

    I solved all 3 and it was quite fun! I solved by calculating losses instead which might've complicated things a bit but ended up basically doing the same thing.
    For round 1:
    If I pick A, opponent chooses C having better odds and I lose 49% time
    If I pick B, opponent choose A having better odds and I lose 56% time
    If I pick C, opponent chooses B having better odds and I lose 61.78% time
    So we pick A having least chances of a loss.
    For round 2:
    If I pick A, either opponents wins and I lose in (44+49)% = 93% time
    If I pick B and get a 2, I lose automatically... 56% time
    If I pick B and get a 4, I lose if disk C rolls a 5... 10.78% time
    So, on choosing B, I lose 66.78% time
    If I pick C and get a 1, I lose automatically... 51% time
    If I pick C and get a 5, I lose if disk B rolls a 6... 10.78% time
    So, on choosing C, I lose 61.78% time
    So we pick C having least chances of a loss.
    For round 3:
    You just check which disk lands you the best win chances.
    Disk A: (1-49) * (1-93) = 3.57% win chance
    Disk B: (1-56) * (1-66.78) = 14.61% win chance
    Disk C: (1-61.78) * (1-61.78) = 14.60% win chance
    So disk B barely gives us better odds against disk C.

    Here’s an Interesting follow-up puzzle:
    You have acquired a Level 1 Wartortilla, a Level 2 Burgersaur, and a Level 3 Churrozard as your team. Your rival, on the other hand, has acquired a Level 1 Burgersaur, a Level 2 Churrozard, and a Level 3 Wartortilla. For this battle, you will each send out one Diskymon at a time, and the two will battle. The one with a higher level always wins, but there’s one catch: If both Diskymon are the same level, then the battle will be determined by type advantage (Churrozard will defeat Burgersaur, Wartortilla will defeat Churrozard, and Burgersaur will defeat Wartortilla). When a Diskymon is defeated, they will not be able to be used for the remainder of the battle, and the Trainer must use one of the other two, if they’re still in battle. When all three Diskymon are defeated, whoever remains wins overall.
    Can you think of a way to defeat your rival? What would be the optimal strategies for both you and your rival? Finally, how would things change if type advantage took precedence over level (for example, a Level 2 Churrozard would defeat a Level 3 Burgersaur)?

    • @gingerinajacket8519

    For the bonus riddle its Disk B.
    Here is my reasoning:
    In single duels these are the winning odds:
    A against B = 56%, B against A = 44%
    A against C = 51%, C against A = 49%
    B against C = (51% + (22%x49%)) = 61.78% and C against B = 38.22%
    Winning Odds in combined duels:
    A winning = 56%x51% = 28.56%
    B winning = 22% + 22%x49% = 32.78%
    C winning = 49%x(100-22%) = 38.22%
    Now these are the winning odds for winning single duels and combined battles for each disk:
    A = 56%x51%x28.56% = 8.16% (Win against B and C and then win against both of them together)
    B = 44%x61.78%x32.78% = 8.91% (Same Logic)
    C = 38.22%x49%x38.22% = 7.16%
    Therefore, Disk B has the best odds of winning in a stretch of duels and a final fight. This makes sense as in the single Duels, B fairs better than C and fairs better than A in the combined battle.

  • @DamnThisAllNow
    @DamnThisAllNow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    For the last riddle the chances of each disk winning both competitions(Assuming on the first round your oponent picks the best avaliable disk) are A:14.5656%
    B:14.6168%
    C:14.607684%
    Therefore you should pick B, also the chances of each disk winning considering a 50/50 chane of picking are:
    A:15.2792%
    B:17.570058%
    C:16.67742%
    And considering its a way too accurate equipe rocket reference and they pick the worst possible disk on the first round:
    A:15.9936%
    B:20.2642%
    C:18.7278%
    So B is always best.

    • @kinouhaiiro9675
      @kinouhaiiro9675 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agree with this results. My calculation is as followed:
      A > B = 0.56
      A > C = 0.51
      B > C = 0.22 + 0.22 * 0.51 = 0.6178
      I.
      A = min(0.56, 0.51) = 0.51
      B = min(1 - 0.56, 0.6178) = min(0.44, 0.6178) = 0.44
      C = min(1 - 0.51, 1 - 0.6178) = min(0.49, 0.3822) = 0.3822
      II.
      A = 0.56 * 0.51 = 0,2856
      B = 0.22 + 0.22 * 0.51 = 0,3322
      C = 0.49 * (1 - 0.22) = 0,3822
      III
      A = I.A * II.A = 0,145656
      B = I.B * II.B = 0,146168
      C = I.C * II.C = 0,14607684

    It’s fun how the answer to the last riddle is always B, but if you assume your opponent will choose the best disk in the first fight it’s only better by a very slight margin, whereas if your opponent chooses randomly it becomes much more significant.
