Eric, you were on the right path for another solution with the liquid one when you said “what about the overflow?” If you fill the 500ml once to 300, then again to 500, you’ll have 100ml left in the small cup. Then empty the 500ml cup. Dump the 100 in the big cup, fill the 300 and then dump that 300 into the big cup. 400
Lol, loved this episode the 3gal/5gal or 300ml/500ml thing also has a second solution. Fill up the 3, dump it into the 5 , fill the 3 again, again dump it into the 5 making the 5 gal full and leaving 1 gal in the 3 gal bucket, dump the 5 completely. Then put the 1 from the 3 gal bucket into the 5, fill the 3 one final time and then dump it into the 5 for 4 gallons..
The first straw solution is correct. The second solution is iffy - in theory, the blue and red straws are at a slight angle and might not touch the pink and green straws. Alternate solutions to the 400ml puzzle: Fill the 300 and pour into the 500. Fill the 300 again and pour 200 into the 500, leaving 100ml. Empty out the 500 and pour in 100ml from the 300. Fill the 300 and pour into the 500, making 400ml.
@@virtualmartini Take your own advice, try it yourself, he is correct, the second solution doesn't work. You can't lay one pencil on top of two so that it's touching both of them and the other end is touching the table at the same time, unless you bend them.
I don't have pencils here, but I'm sure, the 2-2-2 shape is not solving it at 3:38. It seems like it is, but there is a tiny gap between blue and green pencils. They all have to be on parallel planes for them all to touch. 3-3 solution seems to be legit though.
On scientific american in the 60es they published a solution for SEVEN instead of SIX cigarettes. 6 were arranged in a sort of flower, 7th would be at center vertically. This also gave an extra solution to the SIX cigarettes riddle which was already well known back then, with one of the two solutions showed here.
Loved Die Hard with a Vengeance. I’ve always remembered that riddle since then. And also: “Kits, Kats, Sacks, Wives, how many were going to Saint Ives?”
You could also: - Pour 300 from the small glass into the big one - Refill the small one and pour only 200 to completely fill the big one. Now the small one contains only 100. - Empty the big one, pour the 100 from the small one into the big one. - Refill the small one and pour the whole 300 on the big one. The big one now contains 400. XD
Another round of great puzzles. I look forward to these videos They’re so much fun to watch and I try to solve them as well. I’m not good at solving the puzzles but I’m better than I was when I first started watching y’all. Have a great day everyone.
The 400 puzzle is fun and nostalgic to me because it was in KotoR 1. Playing through it for the light side I had to do that puzzle and I remember stumbling into the correct answer without understanding what I had done
If you fill the cups half the way you will get 400. (250 + 150) How to know they are half full? Tilt the mug so the water level hits the bottom and the top of the cup, like [/]
The water one, that was the more complicated way. 1. Fill 300 and pour into 500. 2. Fill 300 again, pour to fill 500 and stop with 100 left in 300. 3. Empty 500. Dump 100 in 500. 4. Fill 300 and pour into 500. Bam 400
Cup one. Fill the 300, dump into the 500, then fill the 300 again, dump into the 500 until that is full. You have 100 left in the 300 cup, so dump out all the water in the 500, dump the 100 into the 500, then fill the 300 and dump it into the 500. You have 400 at that point.
300 ml will be cup A and 500 will be cup B... fill cup A with water. pour water into cup B. fill up cup a again and pour the rest into cup B leaving 100 ml in the cup... empty cup B and pour the remainder of cup A into it. then simply fill cup A again and pour it in giving you 400 ml.
@@WesBarker From Virginia, I had never heard them called pencil crayons. But in our neck of the Appalachians’ we call the majority of shit by the wrong name. Regardless, felt like a perfect opportunity for a half-assed woke joke. Cheers!
Yup and by filling each past halfway then slowly pouring out on an angle you can get a fairly accurate measurement when the water is even / a straight line from the base opposite to the rim where the water is being poured out
The rules for the pencils.. is it any part of the pencil or specifically the wood? Could you draw intersecting lines on a peice of paper because the graphite, part of the pencil, would count?
3:40 I'm calling BS on the pencil one. That green one won't be touching the red one because it's angled upward over the pink one. Green probably also isn't touching blue or the other red for the same reason.
Loved doing this with you buddy. xo
You were so good on the pencils and so bad on the water one! 😂 Thanks for being down buddy.
That’s wild. You just solved it and I still have no idea. Lmao

You can also do what Chris did and get 200, then fill the 500 and dump the 100 into the 300, filling it leaves 400.
Even I thought the same
@@talongaudio939 that’s why he said there is a second solution
@@talongaudio939 Thanks sherlock
The simplest solution is to halfway fill both containers and then pour it all in the 5 container.
So cool. More of this please. Just having fun.

the solution isn't iffy you can try it yourself

I noticed that too. It would be more obvious with larger objects like paper towel tubes or something.

Good one... Big hello to all of you... Love you all... And Wes please give me my money back... 😂😂😂
Eric to Chris - "Oh, you do puzzles?" 😂...
Great video Wes - the lads did great 🤘 (the water one hurt my brain 😂)
#2ndtonone
I might have been shouting the answers at my monitor, a little.
😆
I originally subscribed to Chris' channel, but find myself watching more of Wes' fun hijinks and thought provokers.
He's less douchey and doesn't dress and talk like a teenager. Satisfyingly dope bro
The water one is a classic problem they often bring up in entry-level position interviews in CS
Oh how much I love it when you’re doing videos together! 🥳😍
Although Eric would have blown up New York 🤭
Loved Die Hard with a Vengeance. I’ve always remembered that riddle since then.
And also: “Kits, Kats, Sacks, Wives, how many were going to Saint Ives?”
haha yeah that one is stuck in my brain too!
“Oh you do puzzles?”
Super fun Wes. I love when you guys challenge each other on things
4:51 Funny enough, there's a Oldschool Runescape quest where you do this water puzzle. You solve it exactly the same way.
"Pencil crayons"🇨🇦
"colored pencils" 🇺🇸
You could also:
- Pour 300 from the small glass into the big one
- Refill the small one and pour only 200 to completely fill the big one. Now the small one contains only 100.
- Empty the big one, pour the 100 from the small one into the big one.
- Refill the small one and pour the whole 300 on the big one. The big one now contains 400.

That was great!
Clearly Chris owns Wes's channel so he can shout out whatever he wants 🤣
Similar to those riddles there is with coins. If i remember it correctly, i think 5 coins can be arranged so that each one touches all the others
Did the water puzzle thing when I was a kid. It was one of the games you could play on a website from the show called cyber chase.

Exactly =)
Glad they were able to pencil ✏️ you in for this
😉🙃
Always the best! Love all you guys! "Content content" lol ✌️❤️
These are awesome brain strainers, very cool!
The water one, that was the more complicated way.
1. Fill 300 and pour into 500.
2. Fill 300 again, pour to fill 500 and stop with 100 left in 300.
3. Empty 500. Dump 100 in 500.
4. Fill 300 and pour into 500.
Bam 400
The bottom of the barrel shoutout was a good call. You really do seem to be scraping it. ;P
Such a fun video. 💚💚💚
Good fun!
Alex Boyer got you a cameo in Corridor Crew latest video as "Blurred Dude" 😂 gg WES! Love CCrew channel. Thought you should know ;)
I guess the video should be called "Confusing My Friends (And Myself) With Easy Riddles" ;)
Cup one. Fill the 300, dump into the 500, then fill the 300 again, dump into the 500 until that is full. You have 100 left in the 300 cup, so dump out all the water in the 500, dump the 100 into the 500, then fill the 300 and dump it into the 500. You have 400 at that point.
Pencil crayons? 🤨
You could create "Wes coins" with a weird symbol and make title like : WIN 10 000§ if you can solve these riddles and give bills with your face on it.
whens big trick energy szn 2 coming out?
300 ml will be cup A and 500 will be cup B...
fill cup A with water. pour water into cup B. fill up cup a again and pour the rest into cup B leaving 100 ml in the cup... empty cup B and pour the remainder of cup A into it. then simply fill cup A again and pour it in giving you 400 ml.

Can't see the pencil solution beyond something with a triangle 😞
Wow. You guys are adults.
@3:00 i'm guessing the answer to the pencils is to make an overlapping triangle with two pencils/straws on each edge.
You can also stack the golf balls one on top of the other, but it is very difficult.
Is it not woke to call them colored pencils anymore? Or are pencil crayons a Canadian thing?
Must be Canadian. I’ve never heard them called any other thing.

a more direct, but less precise, way to solve the last one is just fill each cup halfway

Cups thing was too much. Get it to the 200, then pair up the other class with the same amount of water by eyeballing it. :)
