@@Droopid Simple, they used f5 to gain a whole new perspective and realized that they are made up of the same fundamental particles as every other object in the universe, meaning that they Are the universe and sacrificed a non-vital body part and re-wrote it's molecular structure to become the crystal that was hidden behind door 2 and became a god, allowing him to directly manipulate any part of the multiverse so long as it is not already being manipulated by a being of equal power.

I love how you satirized the ludicrous premises of certain logical puzzles by making the fallacy of "if you can be honest with yourself, you can accurately answer absolutely any question", that's hilarious.
not fallacy, just weird. "if you ought to always tell the truth, you necessarily must know everything" isn't a fallacy. if you're asked, "What is pi?" then you ought to know every single number in Pi in order to be able to truthfully answer somebody who asks. obviously, linguistically and culturally this isn't how the truth works, but uh... it tends to be how people logically define truth, as "a fundamental statement about reality." and uh, honesty != truth when we talk about philosophy like this. honesty tends to be more of a moral idea than a logical one.

Maybe at the end where he says”if you carefully follow the logic in any other scenario you will realize this is the only scenario where you are guaranteed to get the crystal ”
I love how this includes many references to different mind puzzles and paradoxes covered by TED-Ed. I also like the consistency of the story, remembering midway through that one of the children is a liar (child 2) and bringing back the superposition joke that ends up finishing the plot. Well done friend
Lyrics: You find yourself in an unfamiliar world. In front of you are three children, each of them perfectly rational. Each child is also guarding one of three doors. Behind two of the doors is a monster that will rip all of your limbs off and leave you to die of blood loss, but behind the third door is a magic crystal that will give its holder the powers of a god. You don't know which door the crystal is behind, and you can't understand the language the children speak, but for inexplicable reasons, you know that they can understand your questions. One of them will always tell the truth, one of them always lies, and if you could ask the third one, they would tell you they always lie. Don't think about it. Each child is also blind and only knows what's behind their own door and what their own true or false role is. But what's interesting is that every time any of them answer a question, they will roll a six-sided die. Whichever number the die lands on, they will cycle their truth roles that many spaces. Like so, of course, if it lands on a three or a six, there will effectively be no change, since after that roll, their roles do a full barrel roll. While you and all three children can always see the number rolled, you don't know which way their roles will cycle. While pondering this problem, you find a brilliantly crafted flute on a pedestal nearby. You take the flute and read the inscription on the pedestal, which gives you important information. Child one wants the flute badly, and if you give it to him, he will do anything he can to help you win this challenge and receive the crystal. Child two has the ability to communicate in a language you understand using the flute, but only if you know Morse code. Child three is skilled in combat and promises she can use the flute as a weapon to protect you from imminent death if you happen to open a door with a monster. Which child should you give the flute to? Since you don't know Morse code and you're not planning on opening a door with a monster, you give the flute to child one, believing that even if he's the liar, his perfectly rational actions will certainly be in your favor. You then stand in front of door number three as you and child one realize you both have the same idea. Child one opens his door, revealing a monster behind it, and you realize that your odds of guessing the correct door will increase if you now change your decision to door number two. But before you can ask Child two to open it, child one's body is brutally dismembered by the monster behind the door. Child two runs away screaming, and child three takes the flute from child one's corpse and kills the monster. However, when they return, child two moves to guard door number one, child three moves to guard door number two, and child four moves to guard door number three, and so on and so on up to infinity. It should be mentioned that child four is not perfectly rational and did not previously exist; rather, they were a hypothetical future superintelligence which plans to revive anyone in the past who didn't help in their creation into a simulated punishment. Since you and child one each helped child four come into existence, you two are spared, while children two and three enter a simulated reality. Child four simulates the two children piloting individual spherical, frictionless cows flying at the same altitude on one axis over a Euclidean planet with a diameter of 50 kilometers. Child two's cow travels at 10 kilometers per day, and child three's cow travels at 20 kilometers per day, starting on Sunday. Child four tells them that at some point during the next five days, they will crash into each other on a day they won't expect. They realize that they won't crash on Friday since making it to Friday will no longer make the crash date unexpected. The same logic eliminates Thursday and Wednesday. Then child four tells them that they will be unconscious for nearly the entire flight. Four will flip a coin, and if it lands on heads, they will both wake up briefly on Monday, and if it lands on tails, they will wake up once on Monday and then on Tuesday with no memory of previously waking up. When they wake up, they have the option to turn exactly 180 degrees without decelerating in hopes of avoiding a crash. They don't know where they start relative to each other, and they're still blind. Additionally, two and three both have the opportunity to throw each other under the bus. Initially, it is determined that when they crash, they will both wake up injured on a deserted island. If they choose to screw each other over, they will survive the crash unharmed, while the other will stay in a two-week coma before waking up. If they both screw each other over, neither will survive the crash. Both being completely rational, they each elect to screw the other over, but child two was currently the liar, so he accidentally tells child four he won't screw child three over. And when they both wake up on the flight, they ponder what the odds are that Forrest coin landed on heads as they crash land on the island where the only source of food is coconut. Child three collects all the coconuts before child two gets out of his coma. She says she will only share coconuts with child two if he can give a proof that explains why the line between any two non-entipital points on the surface of a spherical coconut will be perpendicular to a line from one of the points to the other in a typical point. Child two comes up with the solution instantly but is still the liar and thus explains it completely wrong, and consequently starves to death. Is this really a free transaction? Child three then realizes something interesting. She will always know whether she's telling a true statement or not, and thus can ask herself questions about all of science until she achieves virtual omniscience, which she uses to free herself from the simulation along with child two who will now be in a superposition between deceased and revived until directly observed. Child two uses three's trick to gain omniscience, builds a time machine to travel back before the entire experiment, and kidnaps child one, preventing the experiment from ever happening in Timeline B. It should be noted that only the alive half of the child two superposition did this; the dead half did not. Now timeline B is in a superposition of containing or not containing child one. This causes the newly superimposed child two B to get revenge on child two prime by going back in time and killing his grandfather and producing timeline C, which begins a chain reaction opening more and more alternate universes, all of them simultaneously existing and not existing. Meanwhile, in the A plot, child three takes the original child one's limbs and puts him back together into a near replica, but child four has the flute and isn't sure which of the two child ones is the real one. He offers it to the child one made of the original one's limbs, but he says to double it and give it to the next person. Child one B says the same thing, and he asks every instance of child one in every branching time timeline the same question until child one-101 tells him to have it and give it to all the previous instances, creating upwards of two non-alien flutes across the multiverse. And now the outside of each of these 100 universes is labeled randomly with the numbers 1 through 100. Child one Prime goes to the universe labeled 100 and opens every universe corresponding with the order of magnitude of flutes in the previous one until he finds the one at the end of the loop with two to the 100 flutes. Child one B turns off the lights in every universe, child two B turns on the lights in every other universe, child three B every third universe, and so on and so on. Child two Prime also toggles the lights in every other universe, putting half of them in a superposition of non-existing, having the lights on and having the lights off. Child three Prime tells the first 100 universes that at least one of them contains an instance of Child 3 and that an observer in Universe Prime sees an odd number of universes with the lights off. After 100 days with just the given information, the universes 1-100 logically determine whether their own lights are on or off and escape the experiment. Child three B is now adult 3B and solves the Riemann hypothesis. Child 3C starts selling pork chops side of the street for a bargain. Child 3D oven the cold food hot out eat the food. At this point, a simulated version of child 1 starts traveling across a line of universes at a rate of one universe every time it expands by 10 universes. Paradoxically, he eventually gets to the end and sees a superimposed trolley about to kill five people. He redirects it to kill one person who just so happened to be child 2-10 to the 44th, which stops the entire chain reaction of timelines. He asks himself questions until he determines which door the crystal is behind in this timeline and takes it. The simulation of child 1 has now become f***cking God and begins an epic battle against child One Prime who has another instance of the God Crystal. Their battle tears apart the multiverse holding time and space over itself several times until child one in perfect rationale directly observes Child 2, causing the superposition to collapse, deleting the entire multiverse that was entangled with him as promised for giving him the flute. Child one then hands the crystal to you, both of you knowing it was all part of the master plan if you carefully follow the logic. In any other scenario, you will realize that this is the only scenario where you are guaranteed to receive the crystal.
"But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a crystal I couldn't have seen before."
this is actually genius i used to watch those riddles and this is so accurate lmao. I need this to become a full lore series with characters arcs and crossovers. 2-10^44 was my fav character by far
I loved the way the absolute nonsense picked up and took my brain on a ride all while actually making sense and was detailed enough for me to follow, the children being blind got me good lmao.
That's because when you give child 3 the flute and kill both monsters you end up in a situation where you are standing unarmed against a skilled combatant. As shown on the video, the children are also capable of using the crystal and will fight for its powers. Without child 1 on your side you would surely fall to child 3 and there wouldn't be anything capable of stopping them from ascending to godhood. As there wouldn't be a reason for child 3 to create a multiversum (because it's the best outcome from child 3's perspective), you would have no chance of obtaining the crystal, thus failing the puzzle.
The -ionis or -tionis ending is the genitive singular of the third declension -tio suffix. It is therefore not a verb, but a noun derived from the verb “cogito” (“I think”). This makes it an action noun, aka. a noun which refers to an act. The sentence therefore lacks a verb. You can reanalyse the the action noun into a finite verb in the translation as you have done, but I would rather translate it to something like “I, of very good thought”. This sounds clunky in English, but it better reflects the what the sentence is emphasizing in Latin.
I love how I get 90% of the references for each section of the video XD. Also Ken u rly should make more vids like these they r peak entertainment. I cant explain how much I love this video it might be my favorite in all of youtube now.
Three things. 1. I love how afterwards it doesn’t involve you anymore and instead involves around the children. All chaos is loose and you just stand there wondering if the crystal is worth it or not. 2. It would’ve been funnier if instead you asked the question after all the chaos and madness and then tell us another crazy explanation on why that is the correct answer and why the other answers were wrong. 3. I love how they all did this while still being blind.
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 then how did child 1, also blind, can observe child 2 as a superposition? did he get his eyesight as he become a f**king god? also i think by "observng" a superposition, it's by all senses. *quantiom stuff is painful*
6:40 The sudden Ivory reference between all the Ted Ed references caught me off guard so bad that was amazing hahaha. Also the end card calling back to it. Absolutely legendary video! As an apparently fellow Ted Ed puzzles enjoyer I recognised a decent amount of references. Massive respect for finding a way to put them all in here! And honestly the ms paint graphics add to the vibe haha
This is absolutely beautiful. The amount of mashed together logic problems and paradoxes is amazing. Yet, the answer was shown just in the beginning- just use F5 to see what's in the rooms because the monsters couldn't afford roofs, and the kids certainly can't.
Found it on facebook and it made my day, i love that i understand every concept and when i think it was going in the right track it suddenly goes in the next rabbit hole
Ok i'm gonna write down all the philosophical / sciency references that i noticed: - The Monty Hall problem - Hilbert's hotel - Roko's basilisk - Assuming cows are spherical (physics meme) - The prisoner's dilemma - The Pythagorean theorem - Schroedinger's cat (or i guess child in this case?) - The grandfather paradox - The ship of Theseus - The 100 prisoners problem - Riemann hypothesis (i mean he literally said it out loud) - Supertasks (specifically Achilles and the tortoise is referenced here)¹ - The trolley problem Of course the way to solve this problem is immediately obvious when you use f5. You see, going into f5 you gain a whole new perspective that lets you see things that you previously couldn't Ones that i missed: - ¹ apparently it wasn't Achilles and the tortoise but the ant on the rope - The Omnipotence paradox (which is actually a larger family of paradoxes) - "The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever" / Three gods riddle - Unexpected hanging paradox - Coconut island hypothetical / Diamond coconut model - The sleeping beauty problem - The locker / light switch problem
@@f1reflam3 oh yeah you're right Honestly most of these were off the top of my head, i only looked up the exact name for some of them so there might be a few more mistakes
This video is such a masterpiece. All the references and the (relatively fast) descent into incomprehensible mumbo jumbo, with plot twists along the way. Legit the most I’ve laughed in a long while.
this has so many references to different math paradoxes/dilemmas, for example, it starts of with the monty hall problem then goes to hilbert's hotel to robo's basilisk to unexpected hanging paradox and then goes into a huge insanity including schrödinger's cat, ship of theseus, turing's halt problem, the grandfather paradox,and the euclid's fifth postulate thing. my favorite parts are the prisoner's dilemma part and the "double it and give it to the next person" part
the worst part is that this is a mashup of a lot of logic puzzles and makes the viewer think that they’ve heard it before and know the solution already
@@DiplexTerror80 A sphere can exist in many topological spaces both euclidean and non-euclidean. You are mistakenly thinking of a spheres manifold (the topological space formed on its surface), which is indeed non-euclidean. If the Earth, a sphere, was truly non-euclidean, then I can assure you that the world we live in would be quite quite different.
I've seen another parody before this, this one's better. I like how it starts out seeming like a logic puzzle that's very tough, but feasibly solvable if you follow the logic, but then the solution have spirals off into insanity. This is what it feels like to watch a Ted-Ed logic puzzle and not understand the logic. Also, I love how you just combined every famous thought experiment into one elaborate storyline.
@@bowenjudd1028is that possible? Or you mean like sinplified verison? Cause thats simple, there are set number of realities or groaing depending on the time stamp, child 2 exist in supper position as well as child 2b is inportsnt to mention, child 1 is simulsted beacause child 4, but also reconstructed, adn child 3 is child 3 snd is all knwoing and ask abaut other child 3 in other universes even tho she is all kneoing and doesn't need it
why is this so accurate. I used to watch these videos all the time when I was younger so whenever someone at school asked me a tricky riddle I would already know how to do it and seem smart lmao
i like how you actually used various different thought experiments to eventually actually solve the original question in an unneccesarily complicated but hilarious way. i can see a lot of thought was put into this :3
This is PERFECT representation of GT:NH in minecraft, where the diamond is some sort of ingot or chemical you are trying to produce with all of the steps required to get it. For the monster's, they are the analogy of inefficient recipes e. g. Water electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen(absolutely not available due to it's speed and energy cost). The only optimal path is the one described, except you have to "prepare" all of it. Getting 100 universes with toggleable lights, simulation of deserted island etc. Nice job Ken.
this video is absolutely amazing I was unironically invested in the plot and i started trying to determine which was my favourite character and started rooting for them
So glad to see Kenadian branching out of his usual, solely Minecraft-focused content... This is an absolute blast of a video that just about borders the verge of being impossible to understand yet still makes logical sense and very far from Ken's usual output, however it's just as high quality. Absolutely insane stuff, I am impressed the funny prison and debunk guy knows this much about science in general.
i love how it made sense at first, made excessive amount of sense by the middle, and then made a coherent excessive amount of sense by the end. masterful storytelling, will give child 1 the flute 10/10 times

what are we even doing the whole time xd
Then just suddenly reappear at the end and go "Yeah thanks, child 1!"
That was just the obvious outcome of our choice to give the flute to child 1.
Then child 1 gives you the magic crystal
I would have made a pipe out of the flute.
“double it and give it to the next person” was the part that broke me
I KNOW
Did you chose the door with the limb tearing monster behind it
yesn't @@Diamondsigmaspaceb
Not "why is it called oven?"
Like how do they even double the flute?

if child one prime did acid before observing child 2, would the superposition still collapse? (i am making a joke, yes i know the actual answer please dont correct me, i am just trying to be funny)
Why is the ted-ed voice lowkey so smooth. Like I often hear people ask if you had a nararator who would voice it I'm going with the Ted-ed guy.
I think my favorite is Child 2, being perfectly rational, knowing the answer to Child 3's question for the coconuts but not answering it right because he always lies.
the pain of lying: once you start there'll never be redemption, no matter how much soul you sacrifised
And then he becomes a superposition and causes multiversal chaos
but if he said the wrong answer he would be right? right?
Not if he gets a good roll on the dice

I love how you satirized the ludicrous premises of certain logical puzzles by making the fallacy of "if you can be honest with yourself, you can accurately answer absolutely any question", that's hilarious.
not fallacy, just weird. "if you ought to always tell the truth, you necessarily must know everything" isn't a fallacy. if you're asked, "What is pi?" then you ought to know every single number in Pi in order to be able to truthfully answer somebody who asks.
obviously, linguistically and culturally this isn't how the truth works, but uh... it tends to be how people logically define truth, as "a fundamental statement about reality."
and uh, honesty != truth when we talk about philosophy like this. honesty tends to be more of a moral idea than a logical one.

I love how this includes many references to different mind puzzles and paradoxes covered by TED-Ed. I also like the consistency of the story, remembering midway through that one of the children is a liar (child 2) and bringing back the superposition joke that ends up finishing the plot. Well done friend
Lyrics:
You find yourself in an unfamiliar world. In front of you are three children, each of them perfectly rational. Each child is also guarding one of three doors. Behind two of the doors is a monster that will rip all of your limbs off and leave you to die of blood loss, but behind the third door is a magic crystal that will give its holder the powers of a god. You don't know which door the crystal is behind, and you can't understand the language the children speak, but for inexplicable reasons, you know that they can understand your questions. One of them will always tell the truth, one of them always lies, and if you could ask the third one, they would tell you they always lie. Don't think about it. Each child is also blind and only knows what's behind their own door and what their own true or false role is. But what's interesting is that every time any of them answer a question, they will roll a six-sided die. Whichever number the die lands on, they will cycle their truth roles that many spaces. Like so, of course, if it lands on a three or a six, there will effectively be no change, since after that roll, their roles do a full barrel roll. While you and all three children can always see the number rolled, you don't know which way their roles will cycle.
While pondering this problem, you find a brilliantly crafted flute on a pedestal nearby. You take the flute and read the inscription on the pedestal, which gives you important information. Child one wants the flute badly, and if you give it to him, he will do anything he can to help you win this challenge and receive the crystal. Child two has the ability to communicate in a language you understand using the flute, but only if you know Morse code. Child three is skilled in combat and promises she can use the flute as a weapon to protect you from imminent death if you happen to open a door with a monster. Which child should you give the flute to?
Since you don't know Morse code and you're not planning on opening a door with a monster, you give the flute to child one, believing that even if he's the liar, his perfectly rational actions will certainly be in your favor. You then stand in front of door number three as you and child one realize you both have the same idea. Child one opens his door, revealing a monster behind it, and you realize that your odds of guessing the correct door will increase if you now change your decision to door number two. But before you can ask Child two to open it, child one's body is brutally dismembered by the monster behind the door. Child two runs away screaming, and child three takes the flute from child one's corpse and kills the monster. However, when they return, child two moves to guard door number one, child three moves to guard door number two, and child four moves to guard door number three, and so on and so on up to infinity. It should be mentioned that child four is not perfectly rational and did not previously exist; rather, they were a hypothetical future superintelligence which plans to revive anyone in the past who didn't help in their creation into a simulated punishment. Since you and child one each helped child four come into existence, you two are spared, while children two and three enter a simulated reality.
Child four simulates the two children piloting individual spherical, frictionless cows flying at the same altitude on one axis over a Euclidean planet with a diameter of 50 kilometers. Child two's cow travels at 10 kilometers per day, and child three's cow travels at 20 kilometers per day, starting on Sunday. Child four tells them that at some point during the next five days, they will crash into each other on a day they won't expect. They realize that they won't crash on Friday since making it to Friday will no longer make the crash date unexpected. The same logic eliminates Thursday and Wednesday. Then child four tells them that they will be unconscious for nearly the entire flight. Four will flip a coin, and if it lands on heads, they will both wake up briefly on Monday, and if it lands on tails, they will wake up once on Monday and then on Tuesday with no memory of previously waking up. When they wake up, they have the option to turn exactly 180 degrees without decelerating in hopes of avoiding a crash. They don't know where they start relative to each other, and they're still blind. Additionally, two and three both have the opportunity to throw each other under the bus. Initially, it is determined that when they crash, they will both wake up injured on a deserted island. If they choose to screw each other over, they will survive the crash unharmed, while the other will stay in a two-week coma before waking up. If they both screw each other over, neither will survive the crash. Both being completely rational, they each elect to screw the other over, but child two was currently the liar, so he accidentally tells child four he won't screw child three over. And when they both wake up on the flight, they ponder what the odds are that Forrest coin landed on heads as they crash land on the island where the only source of food is coconut. Child three collects all the coconuts before child two gets out of his coma. She says she will only share coconuts with child two if he can give a proof that explains why the line between any two non-entipital points on the surface of a spherical coconut will be perpendicular to a line from one of the points to the other in a typical point. Child two comes up with the solution instantly but is still the liar and thus explains it completely wrong, and consequently starves to death. Is this really a free transaction? Child three then realizes something interesting. She will always know whether she's telling a true statement or not, and thus can ask herself questions about all of science until she achieves virtual omniscience, which she uses to free herself from the simulation along with child two who will now be in a superposition between deceased and revived until directly observed. Child two uses three's trick to gain omniscience, builds a time machine to travel back before the entire experiment, and kidnaps child one, preventing the experiment from ever happening in Timeline B. It should be noted that only the alive half of the child two superposition did this; the dead half did not. Now timeline B is in a superposition of containing or not containing child one. This causes the newly superimposed child two B to get revenge on child two prime by going back in time and killing his grandfather and producing timeline C, which begins a chain reaction opening more and more alternate universes, all of them simultaneously existing and not existing. Meanwhile, in the A plot, child three takes the original child one's limbs and puts him back together into a near replica, but child four has the flute and isn't sure which of the two child ones is the real one. He offers it to the child one made of the original one's limbs, but he says to double it and give it to the next person. Child one B says the same thing, and he asks every instance of child one in every branching time timeline the same question until child one-101 tells him to have it and give it to all the previous instances, creating upwards of two non-alien flutes across the multiverse. And now the outside of each of these 100 universes is labeled randomly with the numbers 1 through 100. Child one Prime goes to the universe labeled 100 and opens every universe corresponding with the order of magnitude of flutes in the previous one until he finds the one at the end of the loop with two to the 100 flutes. Child one B turns off the lights in every universe, child two B turns on the lights in every other universe, child three B every third universe, and so on and so on. Child two Prime also toggles the lights in every other universe, putting half of them in a superposition of non-existing, having the lights on and having the lights off. Child three Prime tells the first 100 universes that at least one of them contains an instance of Child 3 and that an observer in Universe Prime sees an odd number of universes with the lights off. After 100 days with just the given information, the universes 1-100 logically determine whether their own lights are on or off and escape the experiment. Child three B is now adult 3B and solves the Riemann hypothesis. Child 3C starts selling pork chops side of the street for a bargain. Child 3D oven the cold food hot out eat the food. At this point, a simulated version of child 1 starts traveling across a line of universes at a rate of one universe every time it expands by 10 universes. Paradoxically, he eventually gets to the end and sees a superimposed trolley about to kill five people. He redirects it to kill one person who just so happened to be child 2-10 to the 44th, which stops the entire chain reaction of timelines. He asks himself questions until he determines which door the crystal is behind in this timeline and takes it. The simulation of child 1 has now become f***cking God and begins an epic battle against child One Prime who has another instance of the God Crystal. Their battle tears apart the multiverse holding time and space over itself several times until child one in perfect rationale directly observes Child 2, causing the superposition to collapse, deleting the entire multiverse that was entangled with him as promised for giving him the flute. Child one then hands the crystal to you, both of you knowing it was all part of the master plan if you carefully follow the logic. In any other scenario, you will realize that this is the only scenario where you are guaranteed to receive the crystal.
nah bruhmy man really took the time and effort to note down everything ken said and then proceeded to call it "lyrics"

"But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a crystal I couldn't have seen before."
this is actually genius i used to watch those riddles and this is so accurate lmao. I need this to become a full lore series with characters arcs and crossovers. 2-10^44 was my fav character by far
I loved the way the absolute nonsense picked up and took my brain on a ride all while actually making sense and was detailed enough for me to follow, the children being blind got me good lmao.
The fact that giving child 3 the flute and ask him to kill both the monsters isn’t considered the best solution is hilarious.
That's because when you give child 3 the flute and kill both monsters you end up in a situation where you are standing unarmed against a skilled combatant. As shown on the video, the children are also capable of using the crystal and will fight for its powers. Without child 1 on your side you would surely fall to child 3 and there wouldn't be anything capable of stopping them from ascending to godhood. As there wouldn't be a reason for child 3 to create a multiversum (because it's the best outcome from child 3's perspective), you would have no chance of obtaining the crystal, thus failing the puzzle.
@@jakubsieradz8499Take the flute from Child 3 and give it to Child 1.
so ive never learned the -ionis ending in latin but i can infer that the message says "I think very good" 0:10
The -ionis or -tionis ending is the genitive singular of the third declension -tio suffix. It is therefore not a verb, but a noun derived from the verb “cogito” (“I think”). This makes it an action noun, aka. a noun which refers to an act. The sentence therefore lacks a verb. You can reanalyse the the action noun into a finite verb in the translation as you have done, but I would rather translate it to something like “I, of very good thought”. This sounds clunky in English, but it better reflects the what the sentence is emphasizing in Latin.
It means "I had a very good idea" and it's a Seawatt reference.
the fact that this entire video actually makes perfect sense if you think about it is my favorite part
Yeah, the blind children know what is behind their door and all 3 can see what the dice lands on. I get it!
@@GrimGrinnersome dice have numbers that can be felt like braille, they can also hear the monsters noises through the door.
@@alvinchen9655 oh yeahh…. But the other parts obviously don’t make sense
@@GrimGrinner such as?
@@alvinchen9655child 1 breaks the superposition by actively observing child 2, which you should note is animated as by sight and not any other sense
I love how I get 90% of the references for each section of the video XD. Also Ken u rly should make more vids like these they r peak entertainment. I cant explain how much I love this video it might be my favorite in all of youtube now.
Hola XD
Do you get the coconut island one
Dragonion123?????
Where is HUG bot
Three things.
1. I love how afterwards it doesn’t involve you anymore and instead involves around the children. All chaos is loose and you just stand there wondering if the crystal is worth it or not.
2. It would’ve been funnier if instead you asked the question after all the chaos and madness and then tell us another crazy explanation on why that is the correct answer and why the other answers were wrong.
3. I love how they all did this while still being blind.
wait they're blind?
@@lolliii5477 they said they’re blind at 0:40 and at 3:36
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 then how tf they know what's behind their door and what's infront of them? smell?
@@lolliii5477they were probably told what was behind them. As for the rest I’m pretty sure he forgot they were blind.
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 then how did child 1, also blind, can observe child 2 as a superposition? did he get his eyesight as he become a f**king god?
also i think by "observng" a superposition, it's by all senses.
*quantiom stuff is painful*
6:40 The sudden Ivory reference between all the Ted Ed references caught me off guard so bad that was amazing hahaha. Also the end card calling back to it. Absolutely legendary video! As an apparently fellow Ted Ed puzzles enjoyer I recognised a decent amount of references. Massive respect for finding a way to put them all in here! And honestly the ms paint graphics add to the vibe haha
Child 1 observing child 2 as dead was the biggest fucking plot twist I’ve ever seen holy shit
@@justusP9101repeat the multiversal timeline loop until child 2 is observed dead
But how did child 1 observe child 2 if they're BLIND tho
@@rainballanimates2116 thats the beauty. that is also the only thing stopping this form being reality ofc, that they are blind
This is absolutely beautiful. The amount of mashed together logic problems and paradoxes is amazing. Yet, the answer was shown just in the beginning- just use F5 to see what's in the rooms because the monsters couldn't afford roofs, and the kids certainly can't.
If you hate the viewers, don't give us a headache next time and please put a disclaimer of headache to your channel
This is nothing less than a masterpiece, no art came this close to perfection ever since the Italian renaissance.
Found it on facebook and it made my day, i love that i understand every concept and when i think it was going in the right track it suddenly goes in the next rabbit hole
Ok i'm gonna write down all the philosophical / sciency references that i noticed:
- The Monty Hall problem
- Hilbert's hotel
- Roko's basilisk
- Assuming cows are spherical (physics meme)
- The prisoner's dilemma
- The Pythagorean theorem
- Schroedinger's cat (or i guess child in this case?)
- The grandfather paradox
- The ship of Theseus
- The 100 prisoners problem
- Riemann hypothesis (i mean he literally said it out loud)
- Supertasks (specifically Achilles and the tortoise is referenced here)¹
- The trolley problem
Of course the way to solve this problem is immediately obvious when you use f5. You see, going into f5 you gain a whole new perspective that lets you see things that you previously couldn't
Ones that i missed:
- ¹ apparently it wasn't Achilles and the tortoise but the ant on the rope
- The Omnipotence paradox (which is actually a larger family of paradoxes)
- "The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever" / Three gods riddle
- Unexpected hanging paradox
- Coconut island hypothetical / Diamond coconut model
- The sleeping beauty problem
- The locker / light switch problem
damn
I think it's not Achilles and the turtle, it's the one of the ant and the rope
@@f1reflam3 oh yeah you're right
Honestly most of these were off the top of my head, i only looked up the exact name for some of them so there might be a few more mistakes
Unexpected hanging paradox
with f5 you could have seen past the timeline effectivly seeing the future
This video is such a masterpiece. All the references and the (relatively fast) descent into incomprehensible mumbo jumbo, with plot twists along the way. Legit the most I’ve laughed in a long while.
this has so many references to different math paradoxes/dilemmas, for example, it starts of with the monty hall problem then goes to hilbert's hotel to robo's basilisk to unexpected hanging paradox and then goes into a huge insanity including schrödinger's cat, ship of theseus, turing's halt problem, the grandfather paradox,and the euclid's fifth postulate thing. my favorite parts are the prisoner's dilemma part and the "double it and give it to the next person" part
6:42 OF IN THE COLD FOOD HOT OUT EAT THE FOOD 🗣🗣🗣🗣
This may have been the greatest video ever put on this platform
Aggreed
I feel like I just had a spiritual awakening while watching this and then I realized this is just the average Ted-Ed experience
the worst part is that this is a mashup of a lot of logic puzzles and makes the viewer think that they’ve heard it before and know the solution already
This is what reading homestuck feeIs Iike
real
2:53 i like how he says it's a euclidean planet despite literally being a sphere
It's a circle not a sphere
A sphere can be euclidean, but it’s manifold can not
@@epickittylover489No a sphere is non Euclidean
@@DiplexTerror80 A sphere can exist in many topological spaces both euclidean and non-euclidean. You are mistakenly thinking of a spheres manifold (the topological space formed on its surface), which is indeed non-euclidean. If the Earth, a sphere, was truly non-euclidean, then I can assure you that the world we live in would be quite quite different.
I’m impressed with the number of logic puzzles and randomly a monopoly analogy you crammed into This
Randomly a reference to sucking d*CK for coconuts
I've seen another parody before this, this one's better. I like how it starts out seeming like a logic puzzle that's very tough, but feasibly solvable if you follow the logic, but then the solution have spirals off into insanity. This is what it feels like to watch a Ted-Ed logic puzzle and not understand the logic.
Also, I love how you just combined every famous thought experiment into one elaborate storyline.
2:54 when he has to specify that it’s Euclidean that’s when you know it’s going off the rails
This entire video perfectly summarizes what math teachers think we need calculus for in our day to day lives
If math, unreasonable logic, confuseness, and Ted Ed talks all had a child.
And that child always lied
and always said the truth
Child 4-infinity
What's even more insane, is that I mostly comprehended the full thing. I couldn't stop laughing at all the references XD
Then give us a step by step recording of every state each child is in
@@bowenjudd1028I assume you mean recording their states at an interval of every planck second, from the frame of reference of the god crystal?
@@bowenjudd1028is that possible? Or you mean like sinplified verison? Cause thats simple, there are set number of realities or groaing depending on the time stamp, child 2 exist in supper position as well as child 2b is inportsnt to mention, child 1 is simulsted beacause child 4, but also reconstructed, adn child 3 is child 3 snd is all knwoing and ask abaut other child 3 in other universes even tho she is all kneoing and doesn't need it
there were refrences…..??? Someone help I dont know the inside jokes
@@GalaxyGachaGirlcomments have a few people who've timestamped the references
My brain was hurting from the start and the further the vid went the worse it got. This is absolutely incoherent and it is amazing, thank you.
why is this so accurate. I used to watch these videos all the time when I was younger so whenever someone at school asked me a tricky riddle I would already know how to do it and seem smart lmao
Me too
Out of interest, how often did the other kids ask you to solve logic riddles?
@@douglaswolfen7820 for me it was like, twice a year, but the teacher asked the class every few weeks
oh em gee it's aquarium i know you from pinterest
That was really, really good. a staggering mashup of math (and some philosophy) references and probably some I missed.
this should be played to every human being on earth. this is absolutely amazing and a work of art, and danse macabre makes it 100x better.
i like how you actually used various different thought experiments to eventually actually solve the original question in an unneccesarily complicated but hilarious way. i can see a lot of thought was put into this :3
This is PERFECT representation of GT:NH in minecraft, where the diamond is some sort of ingot or chemical you are trying to produce with all of the steps required to get it. For the monster's, they are the analogy of inefficient recipes e. g. Water electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen(absolutely not available due to it's speed and energy cost). The only optimal path is the one described, except you have to "prepare" all of it. Getting 100 universes with toggleable lights, simulation of deserted island etc. Nice job Ken.

This is officially my favorite UA-cam video now.
this feels like an amalgamation of 14 different 7-second riddle videos
POV: matpat whaches a 2 second clip
this video is absolutely amazing I was unironically invested in the plot and i started trying to determine which was my favourite character and started rooting for them
I love how bits and pieces of this are in actual TED-Ed videos I remember watching at some point.
So glad to see Kenadian branching out of his usual, solely Minecraft-focused content... This is an absolute blast of a video that just about borders the verge of being impossible to understand yet still makes logical sense and very far from Ken's usual output, however it's just as high quality. Absolutely insane stuff, I am impressed the funny prison and debunk guy knows this much about science in general.
ken really is a genius :3
I lost it when child 4 and the infinite hotel paradox came along
The amount of references from riddles and physics problems. Amazing work.
this is genuinely one of the funniest things i've seen
i feel a little proud of how many theories/thought experiments i recognised
bro combined every paradox
This is an incredible combination of many of the actual ted ed riddle videos and utter insanity
The amount of references to random math topics you made was ridiculous! You should make part 2!
i love how it made sense at first, made excessive amount of sense by the middle, and then made a coherent excessive amount of sense by the end. masterful storytelling, will give child 1 the flute 10/10 times
Such an insane amount of references I actually loved this so much. These are all the ones I noticed in order of appearance:
0:12 The Lier and the Truth teller guarding 2 doors
1:59 Monty hall problem
2:19 Hilbert’s infinite Grand Hotel paradox
3:03 Unexpected hanging paradox
3:16 Sleeping beauty paradox
3:38 Prisoners dilemma
4:45 Schrödinger’s cat
5:11 Grandfather paradox
5:31 Double it and give it to the next (idk how to count this)
5:50 100 prisoners problem (with numbers in numbered boxes)
6:05 3 light bulbs and 3 switches riddle
6:20 Green eyed prisoners on an island riddle
6:25 Prisoner hat riddle
6:43 Garfield comic
6:45 Galileo’s paradox of infinite sets and square numbers (maybe with some Zeno’s Achilles and the Tortoise paradox thrown in?)
6:54 Trolley problem.
These are all the ones I could catch by name, probably missed some. Amazing video
3 doors, rokos basilisk, prisoners diellema, the island thing, quantum superpositioning, the grandfather paradox, the trolley problem, and some other stuff I probably missed
All I know is that with all the references Kenadian is a true Ted-Ed addict.
Note that Child 1 only made the deal to try to help you get the crystal because you had green eyes.
This is genuinely the funniest thing I've seen. As someone who's seen a bunch of Ted Ed videos - I loved all the references
The parkour civilisation reference was way ahead of its time
