1=11=21=1211=111221=312211. If you read them out as single sets of digits with counts this makes sense. Starting with 1, you say I have "one 1" = 11. Then you look at the "11" and you say I have "two 1's" = 21. Then you look at this and say I have "one 2 and one 1" = 1211. And so on read this you say I have "one 1 and one 2 and two 1's" = 111221 and so on gets you the final of "three 1's two 2's and one 1" which is written out as 312211....the final in the sequence.
+MrBrockarock It was interesting to me to see this 'puzzle' because I've actually only ever seen it done slightly differently. Instead of counting every digit in order (as you've correctly guessed), I've only ever seen it done where you count the number of each numeral, in sequential order. Thus you'd have 1, 11, 21, 1112, 3112, 211213, 312213, and so on, so that every even digit would start with 1 and increase by 1 each time (well at least until you got into it really far). (For the confused, think of as a counting excersice 'one two, one one', 'three ones, one two', 'two ones, one two, and one three', and so on)
thank you numberphile for showing me that 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211, 31131211131221, etc sequence. these guys will never guess it if John Conway couldn't.
You have accidentally stumbled upon the answer in base 4 though, almost, sort of. 256 in base 4 is 10,000 and in base 4, 10,000-1 is 3,333, so there is that strange bit of logic that you found. Is base 4 actually used for anything, or is it just there because math has a tendency to create infinite things where only several are needed?
NOTE: I didn't finish watching the video so they may have figured it out already. i figured out the puzzle on step 3: 1=11=21=1211=111221=312211. If you read out each number by itself, it makes sense. 1 = 1 One (11) = Two 1's (21) = One 2, One 1 (12, 11) = One 1, One 2, Two 1's (11, 12, 21) = Three 1's, Two 2's, 1 One (31, 22, 11)
The equation with the fraction and roots are for finding the shortest distance(hence the d) between Point (x,y) and Linear Equation 8x+3y+67=0 on the Descartan plane.
1 - one one 11 - two ones 21 - one two, one one 1211 - one one, one two, two ones 111221 - three ones, two twos, one one 312211 - one three, one one, two twos, two ones continue
Maths for the green button puzzle: 4 "slots" with 4 choices for each slot so 4^4 = 256. So not impossible to brute force but would take a while ;P Luckily Sips figured it out in the end and didn't have to brute force it.
Joey Why would it be 10? There is only 4 choices(4 buttons) and 4 spaces? Not saying you're wrong, not saying i'm right, but just trying to understand where you are getting the numbers from. :)
Three minutes in: When's he gonna press the button? Five minutes in: Oh my god, push the button! Six minutes in: PUSH IT!!! 6:20: Finally!!! What the hell, man??? This was emotionally draining... OH MY GOD, THEY'RE STILL PLAYING IT!!! WHY???
+Jackal It's currently being made for Oculus Rift and GearVR. I don't know why it would need a Vive version too, it should work on Vive fine, if it works on Rift. Not sure if it will have Touch controller support, but mostly just depends on how long till it comes out.
1 11 21 i love this puzzle. Basically it tells you how many numbers of those numbers... example 1 the next one will say one 1 (11) the next would be two 1s (21) next might be one 2s and one 1 (1211) I think... xD
+Ibrahim Most of the endings are stupidly hard, I needed a guide for almost all of them and afterwards didn't feel like I could have figured most of them out no matter how hard I tried. There's a lot of logic leaps in it.
The arrows are pointing towards the green buttons to push, but it's upside-down because of the word "correct"? Meaning it's bottom right, bottom left, bottom left, bottom right?
I was starting at this then it hit me. I leaned in too close to the screen. But seriously, read it out loud. 1=11 1 one. 11=21 2 ones. So I think the mystery is 21=1211 1 two, 1 one. and ends in what we have. 1211=111221 1 one, 1 two, 2 ones. 111221=312211 3 ones, 2 twos, 1 one.
Lewis: "Do not press the big red button." Sips: "Of course not, WHY WOULD I PRESS THE BIG RED BUTTON THAT BASICALLY SPELLS 'NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE'?! o_o" Simon: "... Oops."
1=11 because it is stating the quantity of numbers in the previous number. 11=21 because there are two 1's, then the numbers would be 1211 because there is one 2 and one 1. then 111221, then 312211, the next number after that would be 13112221
Lewis asked for the maths, so here it is: 4 options, 4 spots, repetition allowed => 4^4 = 256. Would've been fun to watch you brute force 70 or so of those combos...
For anyone wondering, the correct answer to 1=11=21= was 1211. it's something called the 'look and say sequence' it's literally looking at the numbers and saying how many and of what number eg. (I sound like a maths teacher but I don't care) take the number 1, there is one 1, or 11. Now there are two ones, or 21 Therefore the answer is one 2, and one 1. 1211 1211=111221=312211
If the combination for the four green buttons had each one get pressed once, there'd be 24 combinations. If the buttons were there multiple times in a combination, you'd have 256 combinations.
It took Chris Lovasz 5 minutes and 36 seconds to press a irresistible red button, what is this mad hell

1=11=21=1211=111221=312211. If you read them out as single sets of digits with counts this makes sense. Starting with 1, you say I have "one 1" = 11.

+MrBrockarock I thought the same too but didn't work out the missing number, well done
+MrBrockarock yeah i got the same, pretty fun puzzle

Sips is the only person that can make a non button pressing game actually hilarious!
Sips is such a tease with pressing the button.
The whole time they struggled with that little array of four buttons, part of my was dying inside.

part of your what?

+Diamondmyna My heart was slowly imploding.
not going to lie, I thought sips would immediately touch the bottom before doing anything else.
+G00nHD same
Nah, Lewis is the impatient one
Don't touch the bottom. The latest dlc for don't push the button
11:55 "how are we gonna get d then?" ask nicely
1 = one one ... get it ?
11 = 2 ones
21= one two one one
1211=one one one two two ones

The art in this game kinda reminds me of papers please
it's by the same person there is even a paper ending.
haha! me too.

Lucas Pope is in the credits.
Anyone else just staring at the handle of that cabinet hoping they would click on it?
+Liam Logan me
that was the longest 5:35 minutes of my life
Only fucking Sips would sit in a game like this and NOT push the botton for 5:35 minutes. What a magnificent bastard.

IT TOOK THEM 5:35 TO PRESS THE BUTTON I LOVE THIS DUO
12:45 There are only about 24 different combinations with those 4 buttons
+Cooper Lauret Was about to comment this :)
+Cooper Lauret 256 actually. you have four different options for four different steps so it would be 4^4. How'd you get 24?
+Cooper Lauret 256 actually
There is far more than that, you have not included pressing a button more than once
Number of patterns for that four green buttons puzzle is 4^4=1024 if buttons can be repeated or 4!=24 if they can't be repeated
+Douglas Lawrie 4^4 = 256...
4^1=4
4^2=4x4=16
4^3=16x4=64
4^4=64x4=256
Mista Bobbeh yeah I'm dumb. in my head i went 4x4=64. rip. too much team dumb derelicts.
12:45 4^4=256 combinations assuming you allow repeats.
+Mariopartyboy2 No, wouldn't it be 3334 different combinations.
JaesonD2 From where do you derive this number?
If you pretend the buttons are 0-3 then you could do every number from 0 to 3333. Oh wait, nvm I'm an idiot...
You have accidentally stumbled upon the answer in base 4 though, almost, sort of. 256 in base 4 is 10,000 and in base 4, 10,000-1 is 3,333, so there is that strange bit of logic that you found. Is base 4 actually used for anything, or is it just there because math has a tendency to create infinite things where only several are needed?
Mariopartyboy2 I know, that's why my comment ended with nvm I'm an idiot.
Any maths genius must be screaming at the screen
If math genius = someone with a basic 8th grade math education then sure
NOTE: I didn't finish watching the video so they may have figured it out already. i figured out the puzzle on step 3: 1=11=21=1211=111221=312211.

That's really clever

1211 - one one, one two, two ones

Lewis x Sips
was thinking arrows on the four buttons from the 4 buttons turned up.
same. reminds me of the diagram on stoves for which burner plate the dial is linked to
this video has made my new ship, sipoz.
Maths for the green button puzzle:
4 "slots" with 4 choices for each slot so 4^4 = 256. So not impossible to brute force but would take a while ;P
Luckily Sips figured it out in the end and didn't have to brute force it.
+Loulybob 4^4=1024
4*4 = 16
16*4 = 64
64*4 = 256
4^4 can also be written as (2^2)^4 = 2^8 = 256. Dunno where you got 1024 from.
Loulybob
I was kidding, lol
Love the yogscast. PLZ Dont touch anything
Boy 1 year ago huh! I loved this series of them just bashing their heads against this problem, this was a personal favorite
256 patterns on the 4 buttons if I am not mistaken. 4 Choices for 4 spaces. 4^4 is 256. Please correct me if I am wrong :)
+Majoris239 10*10*10*10=10,000
Joey Why would it be 10? There is only 4 choices(4 buttons) and 4 spaces? Not saying you're wrong, not saying i'm right, but just trying to understand where you are getting the numbers from. :)
Just to clarify, I am referring to the 4 buttons they unlock around 10:15
+Majoris239
He thought you were talking about the green number pad with four digits to input.
He has the right number for that one, though.
+Thelothuo He's talking about the green number pad. His number's right, because there are 4 possible inputs repeated 4 times.
Only 256 combinations to that 4 button thing. (4x4x4x4) since there are four possible options and 4 digits. Correct me if I'm wrong
thank you
+James Smith more than welcome
What about 4*3*2*1?
What does that formula solve?
One shot has easily become one of my favourite yogscast series
Skip to 4:00 and let your imagination flow
you dont even have too. its wrong on purpose, so it dosent count.
the 1,11,21,1211 is a counting thingy.
starts with one>one ones>two>ones>one twos,one ones>etc
Three minutes in: When's he gonna press the button?
Five minutes in: Oh my god, push the button!
Six minutes in: PUSH IT!!!
6:20: Finally!!! What the hell, man??? This was emotionally draining... OH MY GOD, THEY'RE STILL PLAYING IT!!! WHY???
I predicted the Combo for the "Don't Do It!" panel right away XD
15:44 omg it took do long for them to find out!! HOW OBVIOUS CAN IT GET!!!??
By about 15 minutes in, Sips had to have smoke coming out of his ears from his brain working so hard
Is that the look and say sequence?
1 11 21 1211
It is, yeah I figured it out too because it counts for the next number
One 1 one 2 two 1's
111221
What??
I can't wait for the Oculus Rift version of this game! :D
best idea
+NikoKun Vive version would be even better.
+Jackal It's currently being made for Oculus Rift and GearVR. I don't know why it would need a Vive version too, it should work on Vive fine, if it works on Rift. Not sure if it will have Touch controller support, but mostly just depends on how long till it comes out.
***** It still needs support unless you want to jerry rig the game with an external program to get it to work properly.
Are the screwdriver and hammer the ones on the instructions sheet in the top corner?
1 11 21 i love this puzzle. Basically it tells you how many numbers of those numbers... example
1 the next one will say one 1 (11) the next would be two 1s (21) next might be one 2s and one 1 (1211)
I think... xD
That's right!
5:48 Sips just said "it's still 20,016". Guess we're in the future
lewis and sips is fucking gold
Another episode of Sips saves the Yogscast
I can't believe it took him 5 minutes to press the button. These have been the most frustrating minutes of my life
I like how they managed to not press the button until 5:33 minutes.
I want all of those endings, it looks awesome! Can't wait for it on Team DD!
+Ibrahim Most of the endings are stupidly hard, I needed a guide for almost all of them and afterwards didn't feel like I could have figured most of them out no matter how hard I tried. There's a lot of logic leaps in it.
Lewis' voice gives me nostalgia
5:34 of NOTHING in this video. I don't usually dislike, but this video deserves it.
+IcazoTheWolf
NOTHING != Sips and Lewis talking
The arrows are pointing towards the green buttons to push, but it's upside-down because of the word "correct"? Meaning it's bottom right, bottom left, bottom left, bottom right?
+Optamizm Hahaha! I guessed that just before Sips did!
when lewis called up the pizza place I imagined him saying EXTRA T H I C C

I was starting at this then it hit me. I leaned in too close to the screen.
But seriously, read it out loud.
1=11 1 one.
11=21 2 ones.
So I think the mystery is
21=1211 1 two, 1 one.
and ends in what we have.
1211=111221 1 one, 1 two, 2 ones.
111221=312211 3 ones, 2 twos, 1 one.

I've been waiting for this game to be played for a while. P.S. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!
5:30 Blimey Sips press the button!
See this button? DON'T TOUCH IT! It's the History Eraser Button, you fool!
11:46
You fools! You can't have a square root in the denominator!
5:36 how did it take this long to press the shiny red button?
If you just spam the button more opens up and the don't do it is the arrows with correct below it
no theres thousands
i would love to see sips lewis and duncan on this :D The male brains of the yogscast
While i was watching all i could think was PRESS THE MOTHER F**KING BUTTON!!!
YOGSCAST Lewis & everyone else
If you have ever played Keep talking and nobody explodes, you would agree it would be a great game for them to oneshot
1=11 because it is stating the quantity of numbers in the previous number. 11=21 because there are two 1's, then the numbers would be 1211 because there is one 2 and one 1. then 111221, then 312211, the next number after that would be 13112221
Lewis asked for the maths, so here it is: 4 options, 4 spots, repetition allowed => 4^4 = 256. Would've been fun to watch you brute force 70 or so of those combos...
4:25 PRESS THE GODDAM BUTTON ALREADY!!!!!!
5:35 I WILL EAT YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN SIPS IF YOU DON'T PRESS THE DAMN BUTTON ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, he almost guessed the square root of 73! that's pretty cool!
I found the concept for this fascinating since the devs for this seem to know you're gonna look up most of the ways that you can 'beat' the game.
Imagine sips is prerecorded and watch this video back
Sips believing that human breastmilk has lactos in it. Adorable
+Baleur Human breastmilk most certainly does contain lactose...
+Yamigem but not Lactos.
For anyone wondering, the correct answer to 1=11=21= was 1211. it's something called the 'look and say sequence' it's literally looking at the numbers and saying how many and of what number
eg. (I sound like a maths teacher but I don't care)
take the number 1, there is one 1, or 11.
Now there are two ones, or 21
Therefore the answer is one 2, and one 1. 1211
1211=111221=312211
If the combination for the four green buttons had each one get pressed once, there'd be 24 combinations. If the buttons were there multiple times in a combination, you'd have 256 combinations.
+I'vebeenquantumsomegaming
Well, still better odds than a four-digit 0-9 lock.
+Thelothuo of course, that would have 10,000 combinations.
PLEASE figure out all of them, this will be hilarious
1=11 is explaining the previous number. there is one 1 (11), then two 1s (21), then one 1 and one 2 (1112) and so on
dang, dem critical skills
I miss team double Dragon
