Yeah. The rulesbook may not include it, but that's only because they probably assumed that kids would be smart enough to know that that would be cheating
@@ashscott6068 But its not cheating because that just means you have way more people to geuss between. If they asked a simple does the person have a hat, if yes then you eliminated everyone but 5. Thats why the "or" questions dont get you as far as you think
Imagine this: you go to see someone you haven’t seen in 18 years they go to shake your hand but before you do you stop them, Setup your camera and walk out just to walk back in and acted normal .
You should've made fun of him putting a camera in the overhead bin on an airplane then putting his bag in and closing it, and then most likely opening it back up to take the camera out.
I like the alternate way to play guesswho where you have to ask abstract questions like "does your person look like they would enjoy tapas as a first date" - it's a genuinely funny way to play with friends.
The teacher was so passionate. Just look at him while he's explaining. He's so enthusiastic about it. My 12 grade teacher looked like he would commit suicide if I ask him a question again.
My 6th grade teacher once told a kid after asking for a textbook or something "YOURE WORTHLESS AND YOU DONT DESERVE ANYTHING" Mind you this was a special ed kid.
my teacher would just say ‘you should have learnt this last year’ and last year’s teacher said you’re teacher will teach you this next year’ what bullshit.

You must've been a nightmare student for most of your teachers! There's nothing more humbling than a student who is WAY smarter than you are. Unfortunately my son went through a school system that didn't believe in separating out gifted students. Consequently, he fell through the cracks because he was smarter than most of his teachers, wasn't challenged enough and lost interest in school. The public school system robs us of so many gifted students because they're more worried about stepping on toes. What a loss. So happy you made it through and I hope you work on making public schools a more nurturing atmosphere for those types of students. Thank you for all you do!
I know it's not in the rules but "or" questions weren't allowed when we were kids, because it was more like asking two questions and that just led to arguments.
It's not quite like asking two questions because if you get a 'yes' then you haven't narrowed it down as much as if you asked about both attributes separately.
Wouldn’t it be inaccurate to use a bell curve to represent your strategy since it always guarantees a win within five or six guesses exclusively when done properly? In that case, the distribution between number of guesses to win wouldn’t resemble a normal curve, but instead be a single split probability between two outcomes.
Yes, although I think you could technically represent that as a bell curve with an average of 5.5 and a standard deviation of zero. The simulations are could to test out how many guesses it takes with a 'normal' strategy
Wouldn’t it be unlikely an opponent would continue to use the conventional strategy if you played a series of games? After potentially one or two games of losing, they would recognize your pattern of questions and adopt it and then you would not maintain the advantage for the remaining set of games
Variations like that are one of the reasons for needing so many games to obtain statistical validity. Those variations end up being are accounted for In the long run

не посмотря ещё видео, попробую угадать. Самый быстрый алгоритм(не считая квантовых вычислений, имею ввиду цифровые способы) - это бинарный поиск(однажды я изобрел его сам и тольпо после узнал, что его изобрел кто-то другой раньше 😒). Делим пополам, право-лево, делим попаларм, право лево. В итоге среди 2 элементов находятся за 1 итерацию, среди 4 - за 2, 8 за 3 , 16 за 4, 32 за 5, 64 за 6 интераций, 128 за 7, 256 элементов за 8 интераций. В общем очень быстро. Здесь видимо так же нужно находить какие отличительные черты делят попалам, а потом ещё попалам и так если 8карточек по 3 ряда, получаем 24, то значит при нужных свойствах бинарным поиском найдем за 5 шагов(вопросов). Всё смотрю дальше :)
You can also leave with does your person have facial hair other than eyebrows and eyelashes because if they say yes then you know that one it isn't a girl and two you get rid of all of the guys who don't have facial hair. :D
@@leighxx634 But "no" would leave you with all 12 women and the clean-shaven men. And that's more likely. So that's a worse question than the straightforward "is your character male?".
@@leighxx634 If you do that, you try to "improve" the efficiency, but you risk that if the answer is "NO", you almost lose a turn : because you'll have to eliminate all bearded men and similar, but you'll have to keep all females + the men with no bear/facial hairs, wich is worse than having eliminated half of the population with a male/female question.
When my son was 4 I think he came up with the best strategy. He memorized the boards, and I even had both set up different. Then he noticed usually the person he was playing would put their person down on their board right away, or with the first group they put down. He would figure it out almost every time after one question.
This is where you throw them off by randomly asking questions that sometimes are linked to your person but other times aren't ruining the strategy of "they'll ask questions linked to their card".
@@yellowcactustvz4929 Chess does, there are Champion ships, if they were to get into the world championship and win, then you’d get 750,000. Loser still gets 500,000 though.
Claire was literally the WORST character to get! My sister and I would always hate that card because she literally had every “unique” factor so you’d lose pretty fast if you got her lol. The Claire card became the running joke in our house
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Specifically, you want to eliminate half of them. If you ask a question that *could* eliminate more than half, the odds are less than 50% of succeeding.
"Each question must have a 'yes' or a 'no' answer". The combination of test conditions with an OR parameter linking them will ultimately always result in a final yes or a no. The way the rule is written suggests that the final answer being singular is all that matters, and that it doesn't matter if you combine a series of tests in the question to get to that answer. Yes, Yes = Yes Yes, No = Yes No, No = No No, Yes = Yes ...
@@petermuller608 in my experience with programming logical functions, that's the definition of "or" when carrying out a series of tests. If A, or B, or C, then PASS, means only one test needs to pass in order to proceed. If A, and B, and C, then PASS, means ALL tests need to pass... Rober is saying that the evaluation of A, B, C is one question with one answer rather than three questions,.
@@MyDanMo thanks for the explanation :) I'm not a native English speaker and thus might be missing your point. But as far as I understood Rober's strategy was to ask "does your person have white hair or glasses" would yield yes iff the "person has white hair" is yes or "person has glasses" is yes Thus you are agreeing with how Rober? Or are you commenting on the difference between or and either or?
If you hate fun even more, you can also ask "Is your character any one of the following people?" and then list out exactly half of the people you still have up.
craziest thing is this was a random video that popped up on my recommendations. I randomly decided to watch it...and that's my freaking statistics teacher...loved that guy!
Even when me and my friends were 6 we used this technique. It even said in the box you should ask a question to eliminate half the remaining characters.
Kelly He so are chefs with their “Green sauce shrimp pastas” or Historians, “World War1-2”. They name it that way to be easy to remember but you still have kids today failing classes 😂
I always started with "does it have facial hair?", followed by "is it wearing anything on it's head?" Which is basically "beard or mustach", and "hat or glasses", but sounds less cheesy.
Facial hair is actually more broad, for it includes beards, and mustaches, instead of one or the other. So asking the more "professional" question, is better xD
Or you could be like my uncle and ask "Is your person wearing a red sweater?" While playing as the blue player. So he'd just knock them all down and be out of choices after turn 1.
OMG lmao!!!! Dude my family is watching a scary movie and I'm over here struggling holding back my laughter, crying! So funny! I'm just picturing it, lol.
one more thing I just wanted to say I really love your videos and you have helped me learn so many new thing that I never even new about. So I just want to say thank you so very much mark rober
My friend taught me a more challenging version of Guess Who where you start by drawing two cards. The questions you ask have to be formatted as "Do either of your people...?" or "Do both of your people...?"
@@mkaali there's some memory involved and some luck. For example: "Do either of your people have white hair?" If the answer is "no" you can knock down all the people with white hair. If the answer is "yes" then you have to remember that AT LEAST one of their people has white hair until you have more information..."Do both of your people have white hair?" If yes, now you can knock down everyone that doesn't have white hair. If no, then you know that one person has white hair and the other does not.
My brother and I both figured this out before the age of ten. It quickly became boring, so we moved to each choosing multiple cards, like three characters each. You ask questions like, "does at least one of your people have brown hair"? It still comes down to a specific strategy for each number of cards, but at least it makes the math a little more interesting.
Can we all just appreciate how proud his old teacher looked.

не посмотря ещё видео, попробую угадать. Самый быстрый алгоритм(не считая квантовых вычислений, имею ввиду цифровые способы) - это бинарный поиск(однажды я изобрел его сам и тольпо после узнал, что его изобрел кто-то другой раньше 😒). Делим пополам, право-лево, делим попаларм, право лево. В итоге среди 2 элементов находятся за 1 итерацию, среди 4 - за 2, 8 за 3 , 16 за 4, 32 за 5, 64 за 6 интераций, 128 за 7, 256 элементов за 8 интераций. В общем очень быстро. Здесь видимо так же нужно находить какие отличительные черты делят попалам, а потом ещё попалам и так если 8карточек по 3 ряда, получаем 24, то значит при нужных свойствах бинарным поиском найдем за 5 шагов(вопросов). Всё смотрю дальше :)
Всё правильно, но автор просто нагнул правила игры, объединяя признаки в один вопрос.

The new version of the game has about 50/50 male/female, so you can just lead with that question.
I always do that
You can also leave with does your person have facial hair other than eyebrows and eyelashes because if they say yes then you know that one it isn't a girl and two you get rid of all of the guys who don't have facial hair. :D
@@leighxx634 But "no" would leave you with all 12 women and the clean-shaven men. And that's more likely. So that's a worse question than the straightforward "is your character male?".
Nothing says "Mattel doesn't understand the point of their own game" like this.
@@leighxx634 If you do that, you try to "improve" the efficiency, but you risk that if the answer is "NO", you almost lose a turn : because you'll have to eliminate all bearded men and similar, but you'll have to keep all females + the men with no bear/facial hairs, wich is worse than having eliminated half of the population with a male/female question.
Cool

UglyFlorist I played it when I saw my cousins I was only little but was actually good and m6 cousin wasn’t joking
When my son was 4 I think he came up with the best strategy. He memorized the boards, and I even had both set up different. Then he noticed usually the person he was playing would put their person down on their board right away, or with the first group they put down. He would figure it out almost every time after one question.
Is your son the next Albert Einstein?
Teach him chess! Sooner rather than later!
He can always retire with $1M at 24 and do other things later if he desires :)
This is where you throw them off by randomly asking questions that sometimes are linked to your person but other times aren't ruining the strategy of "they'll ask questions linked to their card".
@@barath4545 Chess doesn't make that much lmao

Claire was literally the WORST character to get! My sister and I would always hate that card because she literally had every “unique” factor so you’d lose pretty fast if you got her lol. The Claire card became the running joke in our house

The Evolution of his videos are amazing.
At young age, I always began my games asking : "does your character have an accessory". I won probably 96% of my games!
The truth is you want to ask a question that will likely eliminate alot of people early
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Specifically, you want to eliminate half of them. If you ask a question that *could* eliminate more than half, the odds are less than 50% of succeeding.
I always began with "does your character have blond or white hair?" xD.
@@davbah imo its cheating to ask like that
@@Magst3r1 its still a yes or no question so it can be asked like that

"Each question must have a 'yes' or a 'no' answer". The combination of test conditions with an OR parameter linking them will ultimately always result in a final yes or a no. The way the rule is written suggests that the final answer being singular is all that matters, and that it doesn't matter if you combine a series of tests in the question to get to that answer.
Yes, Yes = Yes
Yes, No = Yes
No, No = No
No, Yes = Yes
...
... that's the definition of or? I didn't get your point
@@petermuller608 in my experience with programming logical functions, that's the definition of "or" when carrying out a series of tests.
If A, or B, or C, then PASS, means only one test needs to pass in order to proceed.
If A, and B, and C, then PASS, means ALL tests need to pass...
Rober is saying that the evaluation of A, B, C is one question with one answer rather than three questions,.
@@MyDanMo thanks for the explanation :) I'm not a native English speaker and thus might be missing your point.
But as far as I understood Rober's strategy was to ask "does your person have white hair or glasses" would yield yes iff the "person has white hair" is yes or "person has glasses" is yes
Thus you are agreeing with how Rober? Or are you commenting on the difference between or and either or?
If you hate fun even more, you can also ask "Is your character any one of the following people?" and then list out exactly half of the people you still have up.
craziest thing is this was a random video that popped up on my recommendations. I randomly decided to watch it...and that's my freaking statistics teacher...loved that guy!

Even when me and my friends were 6 we used this technique. It even said in the box you should ask a question to eliminate half the remaining characters.
"Law of large numbers" Mathmeticians are great at naming things
So are scientests
Kelly He so are chefs with their “Green sauce shrimp pastas” or Historians, “World War1-2”. They name it that way to be easy to remember but you still have kids today failing classes 😂
Yeah, they should just call it the Cardano-Bernoulli Theorem. That's an easier way to remember it.
Marty K well apparently you managed to? Unless you googled it which is more than likely
I made it up. Sort of. It would be an acceptable name given its history.
My go to question is do they have any headwear. Which includes hats,glasses and earings
I always started with "does it have facial hair?", followed by "is it wearing anything on it's head?"
Which is basically "beard or mustach", and "hat or glasses", but sounds less cheesy.
also if the person does have facial hair, that's cutting it down to all boys
Facial hair is actually more broad, for it includes beards, and mustaches, instead of one or the other. So asking the more "professional" question, is better xD
My first question is why are we playing this boring game?
Spacepigs401 No.

Ask does the person have their name from a to z its insta win
How is that an instawin? Every character is in that list. Thus, no one would be knocked down. You just wasted a turn.
TheDisarminghinkle it’s a joke calm down
one more thing I just wanted to say I really love your videos and you have helped me learn so many new thing that I never even new about. So I just want to say thank you so very much mark rober
My friend taught me a more challenging version of Guess Who where you start by drawing two cards. The questions you ask have to be formatted as "Do either of your people...?" or "Do both of your people...?"
How does it work? How can you track two people with just one set of tiles?
@@mkaali there's some memory involved and some luck. For example: "Do either of your people have white hair?" If the answer is "no" you can knock down all the people with white hair. If the answer is "yes" then you have to remember that AT LEAST one of their people has white hair until you have more information..."Do both of your people have white hair?" If yes, now you can knock down everyone that doesn't have white hair. If no, then you know that one person has white hair and the other does not.
@@enTREEque I see. Sounds interesting! I have to try it out.

My brother and I both figured this out before the age of ten. It quickly became boring, so we moved to each choosing multiple cards, like three characters each. You ask questions like, "does at least one of your people have brown hair"? It still comes down to a specific strategy for each number of cards, but at least it makes the math a little more interesting.
Yes! My friend and I did multiple cards, I think we did even 6 one time.
