      I guess this will be faster and easier to solve with a computer.
      Maby you let the computer calculate all possible combinations of squares to get 6400 and then try to arrange them on the 80×80 grid yourself (because this step could be difficult to code).

      Score is 64, the max possible
      If smallest is 64 and largest is 64, total area is 64n, Ave repetitions aren't allowed

      You don't solve them because they're boring. That's my opinion. This one is not about creative thinking , it's about doing a lot of high school math for nothing. No one wants to do that. Some of the older riddles were more creative, that's why we couldn't help trying to solve them.

    Don't cut it. That's how you get the lowest score. Say it has an area of 8. That'd be the smallest and the largest, meaning your score is zero.

  • @jacksonhawkins2775
    @jacksonhawkins2775 6 років тому +6

    What I did:
    I wrote out the possible areas and ordered them. Then I tried to make 64 using various combinations. Through desperation and figuring out the "odd rule" mentioned in the video's solution, I came across the 8-8-10-12-12-14 combo. It fit in fine, but I still felt like there was a better solution. I tried for quite a while after that, but I didn't even find the second solution in the video. In the end, I felt I had failed, and even when the answer came up in the video, I feel more like I lucked out than figured out.

    "Cover a square with non-identical rectangles"
    Uh... How about the entire square? Squares are rectangles, so that is one too. It's unique since there can't be two of the same if there's only one. Its sides are whole numbers. It covers the entire area. The score is 0, you can't go lower than that since MAX >= MIN, so MAX - MIN >= 0. It doesn't even matter what size we're supposed to cover (assuming it's whole by whole, which it has to be or you'd never cover the entire thing no matter what), we're done here.

      @@StefV153 That is the intention for this problem, yes. But the usual convention in math says that any number is good (including 1, or even 0 though that's not applicable here), unless specified otherwise. The point is they technically should have specified it's 2 or more, and no, using a plural of "rectangles" here is not good enough.

      @@abdulmasaiev9024 well thats the problem with videos like these: the problems arent written in mathematical language but in English, which automatically makes it dependent on it. In English, a plural in this situation always means more than or equal to 2. In this type of problems, English conventions > math conventions

      @@StefV153 Almost all problems are written in some spoken language, so that would mean that math conventions almost never trump in math. This is an absurd idea. Domain specific conventions always trump more general conventions when they're in conflict within that domain. This is a math problem so the math convention trumps, and not at least acknowledging the math convention is sloppy at best.

    1. You must cover a square canvas with non overlapping rectangles
    2. A(largest) - A(smallest) = score
    The lowest score you can get for a square is 0 by simply not dividing. For an 8x8 (largest = 64) (smallest = 64) so 64-64 = 0
    3x3 squares are aloud and as such a square with full dimensions should also be allowed. It fits the rule stated by covering the entire canvas and never overlaps.

    10,10 becomes 10,2 and 10,8. Which further becomes 10,2 3,8 and 7,8. 7,8 becomes 7,3 and 7,5. 7,5 becomes 3,5 and 4,5.

      the bonus riddle is to try to get the lowest score for a 4x4 grid, 10x10 grid, and 32x32 grid. watch from 4:06 - 4:22

      Anthony El-Khoury I don’t think you understand. It’s a bonus for a reason; not all videos *has* to have a bonus. And even if it doesn’t that doesn’t make it click bait, since the video solved the problem stated by the title...

      I agree that it's not a riddle. Riddles involve solving a particular problem or conundrum with a particular solution or explanation. This is more of a game than a riddle. Plus the video completely fails to give the best answer, which is to always use a single square, giving a score of 0 every time.

    I think it can be solved mathematically as an integer linear program (ILP) with objective function of minimizing the sub within the constraints.

    I have the lowest score ever at every size!
    Heres one of them:
    Lets take a 5 by 5 grid.
    Now put a 5 by 5 square in there.
    Now all the surface area is filled.
    The biggest area is the 5x5 square.
    The smallest area is the 5x5 square.
    This gives us the sum (5x5)-(5x5) = 0
    So I got zere which is I think the best you can do!
    (For the people who dont get it, this is a joke)

    • @sackmonster4227

      if the smaller square is size 0, then all of the answers would be simply the size of the larger rectangle, since it would be: Larger - smaller= Larger - 0 = Larger

    • @madhurisingh4204

      The score will be maximum not minimum in your case 64-0=64

      (largest) - (smallest) 64-64 right

    • @bigchungus920
      @bigchungus920 6 років тому +8

      CubeChickN you get the smallest rectangle and subtract it from the largest. So if you do 8×8 you will get 64 which is the biggest and subtract 0 from 64 equals 64 in math it's 64-0=64

    • @Christian-wk7ox
      @Christian-wk7ox 6 років тому +2

      My answer is 2 if 3x3 rectangle is allowed, and if it's not allowed since it's technically a square, then my lowest answer is 6, too.

    • @enderyu
      @enderyu 6 років тому +4

      Christian What
      a square is a rectangle and is allowed 0:28 .
      And an answer with score 2 is impossible using an area 9 rectangle, since that would mean that the biggest and lowest area used were between 7-10, since there are no rectangles of size 11 that fit in the 8x8 space.
      there is 1 possible rectangle for sizes 7,9[the 3x3 one], and 10, and 2 of area 8 [2x4 and 1x8].
      7+8+8+9= maximum of 32 of total area, only half the space you needed to fill.
      8+8+9+10= maximum of 35.
      If I have made any mistake, then please tell me what is wrong with my argument. And sorry for bad english

    Can you stop calling your titles riddles, and call them math puzzles. I know it’s a mind teaser, but this isn’t a riddle. It’s not a play on words, idioms, and concepts. These are all advanced and interesting math problems. Not riddles.

  • @hrithikbaishakhiya381
    @hrithikbaishakhiya381 6 років тому +1

    I think I figured out the trick !!
    You just have to map these values as
    {10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}
    Its always taking the two elements adjacent to middle one.
    In this case: 60-40= 20
    I.e. if we consider the length to be n, then (n×(n/2+1))-((n×n/2)-1) = lowest answer for a SQUARE.
    Eventually this will lead to give you two rectangles. One being bigger in size than other. For that we can again map the values but this time taking multiples of the smaller values. I.e for
    10×6 : {6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60}
    According to above equation:
    (6×6)-(6×4) = 12 is our best bet.
    Now we can do the same for 6×6 as we have done for 10×10.
    Consequently the same recursion can be carried out to cover the whole canvas with minimum possible answer.
    For 10×10 its 8

      Alright, so if I wanted to calculate the 4x4…
      (4*(4/2+1))-((4*4/2)-1)
      (4*(2+1))-((16/2)-1)
      (4*3)-(8-1)
      12-7
      5
      Hmm…really?
      Let’s try again, but taking BODMAS a bit too literally.
      (4*(4/2+1))-((4*(4/2))-1)
      (4*(2+1))-((4*2)-1)
      (4*3)-(8-1)
      12-7
      5
      Umm…what?
      I got the lowest score of 4, not 5. Or do I have to apply it multiple times somehow?

    At 2:40, the list of possible rectangles is faulty. You are missing the 3x7 and 4x7 ones (and the 8x8 one to be complete though you probably left it out on purpose) but you got the 6x8 one twice. Noticed it as there should be 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8=8x9/2=36 possible rectangles in total.
