‘Zara, a perfect logician, needed three clues’
Well that’s reassuring.
🤣
And the other two had to use more logic because they had less information. Doesn't really make sense but okay.
@@JSmellerM no zara can transform into any pokemon, so she turned into alakazan and she was so smart she knew the code
Is there an issue? It's perfectly logical to receive all information possible if it's being presented to you with no consequences. If there's no risk for receiving the additional clues, why wouldn't you take them?
Was that sarcasm? Because she'd want to be sure, right?

Good one there👍

It's entirely possible the flight was granted by some sort of equipment that was confiscated after being captured
First step: Listen to the riddle

1. Confirm that you have green eyes.
2. Leave the dungeon
I see these everywhere tho
@Blue Lightning
Me too and it's starting to get really annoying
Huh?
XDDD istg these comments always get me
Wrong riddle dude
Plot twist: She just asked for the 3rd clue to give more information to her listening teammates.
2:23 its given that Zara needed all 3 clues to escape.
She wouldn't have because they assumed that she would have service when she left to tell them the answer.

Literally why I was checking the comments lol
I think it was an error.
@@AkmalZaini-po3bh yeah could be a miscommunication between the animation and narration team
While certainly an interesting logic puzzle, which I did solve on my own, the conceit that Zara only asked for the third clue because she needed it is a bit shakey, as she may have just asked for it to give her companions more information.
Shakey like a pizza!
Yeah, that's why it's conceited. It's one of the givens at 2:23
Maybe they asumed they would have range when they get out
At 1:49 it says “If Zara could enter the passcode at this point [after knowing the first 2 clues] she would”.

5th 💬
Alternate logic you can use:
*The third clue must be important.
*Therefore, there must be a wrong answer where the last two digits are identical.
*The only set of factors that meets that criteria is 1, 6, 6.
*If 1, 6, 6 is the wrong answer, there must be another set of factors with the same sum.
That's how I solved it.
Qwerty
There are a lot of riddles based on that. Stuff like figure out the age of three persons and the final hint is something like "my oldest daughter is playing the piano". Sounds completely unrelated but the "older" part is giving the important information.
@@meandmyself1600 Didn’t a previous thread say that that specific riddle could alternatively be answered by 1,4,9?
@@bensoncheung2801 I don’t think they took into account the second clue given, which is that the is that the sum of their ages equals the house number (and that the student said that wasn’t enough information to figure it out). 1+4+9 is 14, while 2+2+9 is 13.

the visual confused me and made me think the digit pad only had numbers 1-9
I did the same thing. Luckily it only used numbers 1-9 for the answer.
No luck involved, a zero would be impossible after clue one.
Hes refering to the fact they listed 1-1-36 (implying that the keypad had numbers > 9)
what..? That was no implication. You simply work out the math of the first clue, filtering them out later for the ones that make sense to the keypad.
+kflo411 the keypad in the animation shows numbers 1-9 therefore it is implied you can only use those numbers

*I think I'd rather be eaten by the mutant salamanders than do math.*
That part where it says she could have entered the code after the second clue threw me off, because I thought that she already had the answer, but was asking for a third clue for the benefit of the listeners, not that she didn't yet have the answer.
2:23 clue number four would help you to clarify that
If you know the answer after two hints it benefits the listeners more to not ask for a third clue (It eliminates [2,2,9] and [1,6,6] instead of just [1,6,6]). Plus the listeners also get a huge benefit when you ask for a 3rd question when they know you wouldn't if you already had the solution.
That really depends, Bradley... If she knew the answer after the second clue, and she left right then and there, her companions would have 6 possible answers with no way to determine the right one. Since she doesn't know what the third clue is, that clue might've been exactly what they needed to narrow it down to 1 answer.
+Bradley Good point, however she does not know what the clue is before asking for it. That means can't know how many possibilities a third clue could eliminate. It would be in her best interest to ask for a third clue to eliminate as many as possible.
She knew what number hallway she went through. After adding up the digits, she saw that two of them were the same, 13, while the rest were different. Since she already knew her hallway number, she could have left, if all of the sums were different. However, knowing she went through hallway 13, she didn't know which combination if 13, therefore she had to ask for a third clue. She wouldn't have needed that third clue if all of the sums were different, because she went through one hallway, and she knew which hallway it was.
achievement get!
solving a ted-ed riddle
Zara could have asked for the third clue in order to provide some extra information to her friends, as she saw that they would not be able to escape using just the two clues they heard, unlike her
This actually the Three Daughters problem. A classic.
A student asks his teacher: How old are your three daughters?
The teacher says the product of their ages is 36.
The student says this is not enough information.
The teacher says if you add them up you get my house number.
The student says this is still not enough information.
So the teacher says the eldest one plays the piano.
I knew that one!
Exact same riddle lol
i don't get it
Her saying “the eldest one” tells you that it must be the choice of 2,2,9 because if it were 1,6,6 there wouldn’t be an eldest one since the oldest are both 6
@@hstandeffer It could be 1,4,9 too

A met this problem as a teenager, it was called "The ages of the three daughters", and supposed to have been praised by Einstein himself. The last clue was "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, my eldest daughter plays the piano", which seemed completely irrelevant but on second thought, it was not.
This is the first ted ed puzzle i've solved and I feel like a genius
alright, and we're gonna totally ignore the fact that Zara almost ditched us and left us for dead.
look how easy we escaped at night. she had no excuse
But if they can fly and the colosseum doesn't have a roof, why don't they just fly away when they are supposted to be feeded to the salamanders? Anti-flying field? Or did i just outsmart the system?
What comment? I have not seen any comment about this topic... Im sorry if copied someone. It was an accident :/
Mathiasblm its the power of math that’s important or else the riddles would be easy
But the riddle wouldn't be exist if that happens :/
its ok its all coincidental

BATMAN BRUCE WAYNE u know that's just 0.1 seconds right. I think what u were looking for is 0.0000001 seconds and ***** it's nanosecond idk if attosecond is even a real word. The real Batman told me to tell u guys that
Teenage Hustler attoseconds are real lmow just do a simple google search
"An attosecond is 1×10−18 of a second (one quintillionth of a second). For context, an attosecond is to a second what a second is to about 31.71 billion years. The word "attosecond" is formed by the prefix atto and the unit second. Atto- was made from the Danish word for eighteen (atten)."
wikipedia is my source lol
I did it differently. I figured out very quickly that the combination 1-6-6 was the only way to have two equal numbers at the top and then just tried to find another code with the same sum.

+creativekitty cat damn u
in step 1, they shoulda eliminated the codes with double digit 3rd number since the passcode only allowed for 3 digits total. So like it couldn't be 1*3*12 because that's 4 digits. Not that it mattered but still
I thought I was the only one....I'm like its a 3 digit code with a 9 number keypad no way I'm fitting 12, 18, or 36 in that XD.
I thought so as well.
I thought the same thing but the answer still doesn't change.
The puzzle never says anything about the code being limited to 3 digits.
+DrGerbils It doesn't have to, because it fits 1 digit per box. If it did fit 2 digits per box...how do I move on to the next digit box? Where on the keypad is the space/tab bar? If it were capable of 2 digits per box then it would be 6 digits meaning most importantly and finally where is 0? Because if it's 2 digits then there has to be a 0 in front of any number less than 10, and numbers with 0 like 10, 20,etc (Ex....A date written numerically is commonly written mm/dd/yyyy 8 digits. If today is March 3 2016 I'd have to put 03/03/2016). If it wasn't there then the number placed like for example the code 557 would then need to be typed 55, 55, 77 in order to move to the next digit place but the computer will see it as seventy-seven not seven. So no its 1 digit place per box because of the absence of 0 or some form of moving to the next box while filling in the space....sorry :p.

There is a small problem with the riddle. Zara could ask a 3rd clue for the benefit of the others. The riddle says her logic is perfect, not the others’. It doesn’t break the riddle, but 13 appearing twice is not the only reason she might ask the third clue.
I found out this was ted Ed’s easiest one, I legit thought it was just as hard
And this is why super villains always lose. They let their nemeses play logic games like this instead of just killing them right then and there and being done with it.

I am so happy I actually got a Ted Ed riddle right
When you don't completely understand the riddle, but your guess ends up right anyway.
I had eliminated all numbers greater than 9 as only one digit can be keyed in. That, of course, took me off track.
Sumit Pal this is what threw me too, it looked as only if single digits was allowed.
They said numbers, not digits
I did the same thing! I'm going to do this with my students today (middle school) and suggest they list ALL possibilities and not worry about the keypad being 1-9 ;-)
Same. Especially with the keypad animation at 0:31.
Yes that part was unclear
or she asked for the third clue because she knew there wasn't enough info for her compatriots yet. In which case, game over, man! game over!
Or she asked the thrid clue because she didn't have enough info to get out herself after the 2 clues.
Yep
2:24 and look at #4
I like how they just assumed she would just leave them to die the second she had her own way to escape.
Jandalph Well, she's a perfect logician so she should leave whenever she knows the answer and not worry about her friends. So she would leave them to die. Luckily they could escape with her.
When it said you have freed yourself with math and logic i was like "nope, not me I'm still in the dungeon waiting to get eaten"
