I missed it. I watched this like 2 years ago and loved it. This hair style is also awesome so I'm fine either way so I guess I'm not missing it? But I'm fine with it coming.
I had some trouble with the first one because I noticed a difference between what he wrote on the paper and the superimposed box (he wrote the "reversed five" in the "reversed two" place, and the "reversed two" in the "reversed five" place), and that made me think that the trick would work both ways, leading me down the garden path. Once I focused on the "official", printed version, it suddenly became clear.
I big urged the first one out! It reminded of of one of the levels in the game 100 Floors so it was easy for me to catch. The LED lights that are showing are actually the lights that are 'off'. So is you look at a digit clock, when it restarts, it looks like an '8' without any LED lights on. Up on the vid, at 4:14 - If you turn the LED lights that were on to off and turn the LED lights that were off to on, it creates the numbers of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and the missing number is 8!
I knew the "New Door" puzzle, because it in a book by Richard Lederer. I think it was titled, "English Our Crazy Language". I read the answer in the book. Kudos to the guy who solved it. The only other person I've seen solve it quickly was my wife. I had no idea for the first one. For the last puzzle, "Dead" is the only word listed where the same letter repeats in the word, so it's crossed out. That fits, so I'll give myself that one, even though there's a different answer.
Bryan, I learned today that you played TF2 With Dead Workers Party My mouth dropped to the floor. I was truly shocked, because I've been really into their shows, and my brother has been really into Scam School.
at the second puzzle I'm like hmm wat is it... Redwood, no *Brian says you need to make one word* wait a minute... ONE WORD! BRIAN YOU TRICKY TRICKSTER I DID IT!
Alternate solution to sequence of words: The last word, the one crossed out, is the only word where one of the letters is repeated. So the rule is: a word belongs in the list if it has no repeated letters. At 5:15 Brian says this one is not a "sequence". Surely, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars... definitely IS a familiar sequence, so I think he owes me a beer on this one, (a) for finding an alternate solution and (b) for derailing my thinking with his false hint.
You were supposed to pay attention to the one on the graphic. That was there for us. Apparently the one on the paper was wrong. So yeah definitely the graphic.
+sugarkitty2008 not to mention the analogy doesn't hold. Venus = Beauty (Venus was God of Beauty and Love) Earth = Home (duh) Mars = War (God of War) Neptune = Ocean (perfect) Mercury = Speed? (He was the messenger of the Gods and known for being fast I guess, but he was the God of travel and thieves. "messenger" would have been better to hold the analogy) Jupiter = King (Zeus is God of sky and thunder, also known for being Head of Gods, however his literal assignment is God of sky which conflicts with "Uranus") Saturn = Feast? (He was the Father of most of the Gods, sun of Gaia and Uranus yes there was a feast called Saturnalia but he was not the God of feasts, "Father" would have been a better analogy) Uranus = Sky (This is ok, he was known as the God who personified the sky as in he literally was the sky. The sky "uranus" and the Earth "Gaia" met and had baby Gods and the Titans, a better analogy might have been "Space" so as not to confuse him with Jupiter as he represented everything "not" earth aka "space") Pluto = Death Crossed Out. Clever and fine. The fact that 4 of them are not the same kind of analogy really messes this up though. I probably never would have seen it due to the Saturn and Mercury problem.
I noticed that in the one with the nine words you can also say that dead is crossed out because dead is the only word with two letters in it that are the same.
The digital clock one was great but very hard. I would have never gotten it in a million years. For the third riddle, "dead" also is the only word listed that has two of the same letters.
I got the 1st and 2nd ones instantly. Funnily enough I made up the exact same thing as the first puzzle to send coded messages to mates in class in early high school when I got bored. It wasn't perfect but it could be done as you can more or less get nearly every letter in that digital style readout
That's funny because I remember reading in the 2006 reclassification documents that a dwarf planet along with a super giant(what people who think they know more than they do call super earths) were BOTH types of planets. In rather plain and specific English.
as soon as I heard the last one I got it instantly, after that I listened to the rules of the second again as I know that on scam school the rules are like walls, you can't break them but you can sneak arround them in just the way you need to to get past the puzzle. after that I figured out the second. then I went to the first and after about 7 minutes of thinking I was about to say "screw you, Brian and un-pause but then it hit me and I got it.
another solution to one of your problems is without war your home would not be the same, some think war has beauty, kings rule your home, war can go by fast, war can happen in the sky and in the ocean, a feast sometimes occurs after a war, but not many want people to be dead.
The LED one i got after taking a shit, taking a shit makes you a freakn genious! One word, i failed, i failed so hard. And no way in hell would i ever have figured out that last one...
The first two were easy to figure out. For the last one though, I found a complete different solution. All the other words given only use each letter once, where as "dead" use a "d" twice.
Me on the third one: "Hmmm... Hermes, Aphrodite, Hestia, Ares, Zeus, Dionysus, Uranus, Poseidon, Hades Wait, what's wrong with Hades?" If only I'd have chosen Latin instead of Greek in school, I would've probably had it right DX
I suggest you watch a video from the user CGPgrey in which he talks about Pluto. Just look up "CGPgrey Pluto". He explains exactly why Pluto is no longer considered a planet. I used to think exactly like you, saying things like, "Pluto was a planet when I was a kid and it always will be." but when you look at the facts it's quite easy to see that we were misinformed. Pluto is part of the Kuiper belt with thousands of Pluto-like objects in it. So if Pluto is a planet, so are those 1000 others.
1st one in 2 seconds of seeing the quiz. 2nd one in 30 seconds. 3rd 3 minutes after the "big hint". (Some of the ones I wasn't sure why it was that word (like feast).
Anyone else immediately thought of Greek gods? Hades, Aphrodite, Hestia, Ares, Zeus or Kronos, Demeter/Persephone, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. And Hades doesn't reside on Mount Olympus (Although neither does Kronos, Persephone and Hestia, really)
I got the first and second but couldn't get the third XD Whenever you find out how it's done you feel so stupid... like... "How the hell did I not get that?" Very tricky :)
For last one I started with furious beast alone ( associating extremely well know films to the beginning word ) lets se what is was , wrote on break sponsor
For 1, I'm at a loss, but if they are like alarm clock characters, I'm guessing nothing should be their because of the correspondence with the previous characters. For 2... you sneaky bastard, Brian. I see what you're doing. Caught it right as you said it. For 3, I really don't know what they are, and I don't want to finish the video. I'll figure this out if it kills me! One question though. It seems odd that you would randomly write "dead" on the paper and just mark it off. Is that a a reference to old literature?
For the last one, I noticed that none of the words have the same letter twice, except dead with it's two d's. Thought that was the answer until he started talking about the words being associated with something.

Scam School hi
I owe you a dollar now
I miss old school scam school
I thought the last one had to do with the fact that the word "dead" was the only one that used a letter (d) twice.
So did I
Steve Sharp I did as well but who cares
thank god u got rid of that 90's freakig hairstyle
+Diptanu Chaudhuri **sigh** i.imgur.com/91sn32Q.jpg?fb
+Scam School I miss the spiked hair :/ any chance of bring it back at the near future?
I missed it. I watched this like 2 years ago and loved it. This hair style is also awesome so I'm fine either way so I guess I'm not missing it? But I'm fine with it coming.
Stegosaurus hair?
WAIT! My answer to the last one is that each word has no letter that appears more than once, except for dead, which has two d's.
Got the second one nearly right out the gate. I am elated.
same
I had some trouble with the first one because I noticed a difference between what he wrote on the paper and the superimposed box (he wrote the "reversed five" in the "reversed two" place, and the "reversed two" in the "reversed five" place), and that made me think that the trick would work both ways, leading me down the garden path. Once I focused on the "official", printed version, it suddenly became clear.
Dead is the only entry with repeating letters.
axelasdf that's what I thought to
I big urged the first one out! It reminded of of one of the levels in the game 100 Floors so it was easy for me to catch. The LED lights that are showing are actually the lights that are 'off'. So is you look at a digit clock, when it restarts, it looks like an '8' without any LED lights on.

I'm coming from the future, where Pluto is once again considered a planet and we have discovered gravitational waves
+Neo_metallum1618 Scroopy Noopers?
+Scam School R&M!
Waiting for Pluto to be reconsidered a planet, as gravitational waves have been discovered early 2016 :)
I didn't recognize the HUGE hint when Brian was talking about the calculator problem. "You think of a digital eight" lol great hint.
I actually thought that the answer to the first puzzle (with the caclaor display) was that it spells out "NEW DOOR"
same
so did I
I knew the "New Door" puzzle, because it in a book by Richard Lederer. I think it was titled, "English Our Crazy Language".
I read the answer in the book. Kudos to the guy who solved it. The only other person I've seen solve it quickly was my wife.
I had no idea for the first one.
For the last puzzle, "Dead" is the only word listed where the same letter repeats in the word, so it's crossed out. That fits, so I'll give myself that one, even though there's a different answer.
I got the one word one straight away. No idea on the others.
Bryan, I learned today that you played TF2 With Dead Workers Party
My mouth dropped to the floor.
I was truly shocked, because I've been really into their shows, and my brother has been really into Scam School.
at the second puzzle I'm like
hmm wat is it...
Redwood, no
*Brian says you need to make one word*
wait a minute... ONE WORD! BRIAN YOU TRICKY TRICKSTER I DID IT!
There is a fail, on the paper
Look to the first quiz with the number
Look close to the paper at "3:52" and at the screen "1:24"
Why are you, speaking like this, when you don’t, need to do this?
I am not kidding that as soon as he said the second puzzle I was only thinking.... the answer must be "One Word"
I work with electronics a lot, and I figured out the calculator one in a matter of seconds. I love inverters.
Alternate solution to sequence of words: The last word, the one crossed out, is the only word where one of the letters is repeated. So the rule is: a word belongs in the list if it has no repeated letters. At 5:15 Brian says this one is not a "sequence". Surely, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars... definitely IS a familiar sequence, so I think he owes me a beer on this one, (a) for finding an alternate solution and (b) for derailing my thinking with his false hint.
How the hell can we solve the first puzzle if the symbols on the paper are different from the symbols on the graphic? Which is right?
You were supposed to pay attention to the one on the graphic. That was there for us. Apparently the one on the paper was wrong. So yeah definitely the graphic.
I just past the setup for the one word one. It gave me a little chuckle.
i got the second one. the first one is rather clever. the third ust in't fair. you'd haveto know about the gods relation to planets and all that.
Yeah!
+sugarkitty2008 not to mention the analogy doesn't hold.
Venus = Beauty (Venus was God of Beauty and Love)
Earth = Home (duh)
Mars = War (God of War)
Neptune = Ocean (perfect)
Mercury = Speed? (He was the messenger of the Gods and known for being fast I guess, but he was the God of travel and thieves. "messenger" would have been better to hold the analogy)

Pluto = Death Crossed Out. Clever and fine. The fact that 4 of them are not the same kind of analogy really messes this up though. I probably never would have seen it due to the Saturn and Mercury problem.
My "God" I just realised they were Roman gods not Greek gods.
+Larkspur There's also the problem that he says the second set of words aren't related to each other.
+Larkspur judging by the snobbish comments regarding this, that actually makes the puzzle harder.
I noticed that in the one with the nine words you can also say that dead is crossed out because dead is the only word with two letters in it that are the same.
I like how the table shadow makes it look like the guy in shorts is wearing fishnets.
The digital clock one was great but very hard. I would have never gotten it in a million years. For the third riddle, "dead" also is the only word listed that has two of the same letters.
Isn't the 2 and 5 reversed on the 7 segment display?
no
yes, in his original write up it was..
I figured out the first one before Brian finished explaining, I feel so smart now. :)
I got WONDER.... what do I do with the extra....OH! DAMN IT BRIAN!
I got the 1st and 2nd ones instantly. Funnily enough I made up the exact same thing as the first puzzle to send coded messages to mates in class in early high school when I got bored. It wasn't perfect but it could be done as you can more or less get nearly every letter in that digital style readout
That's funny because I remember reading in the 2006 reclassification documents that a dwarf planet along with a super giant(what people who think they know more than they do call super earths) were BOTH types of planets. In rather plain and specific English.
Anyone else here the moan at 8:50
Wut
ya i did
yeah
as soon as I heard the last one I got it instantly, after that I listened to the rules of the second again as I know that on scam school the rules are like walls, you can't break them but you can sneak arround them in just the way you need to to get past the puzzle. after that I figured out the second. then I went to the first and after about 7 minutes of thinking I was about to say "screw you, Brian and un-pause but then it hit me and I got it.
One word was easy for me ... I am a scrabble freak... the lights off and planets both blew my ass away.
The "one word" one was so easy. Got it the moment he said, "to make one word".
And I'm guessing the last one has repeated letters.
I gotta say, one of your best eps.
i got the second one cuz i know this guys style and the way he wmphasized ONE. WORD.
another solution to one of your problems is without war your home would not be the same, some think war has beauty, kings rule your home, war can go by fast, war can happen in the sky and in the ocean, a feast sometimes occurs after a war, but not many want people to be dead.
The LED one i got after taking a shit, taking a shit makes you a freakn genious!
One word, i failed, i failed so hard.
And no way in hell would i ever have figured out that last one...
the evolution of brian's hair is amazing
YOU ARE AWESOME BRIAN
The first two were easy to figure out. For the last one though, I found a complete different solution. All the other words given only use each letter once, where as "dead" use a "d" twice.
I saw that too. Moral victory!
SPOILER: at 4:05 I believe the first one is 8, the second is "one word" and the third is dead has double letters
I got first two before he finished explaining. I've paused the video and now I'm thinking about the third one.
got number 2 instantly - more of a childish riddle written out then a brain teaser but will keep watching
I love how watching this made me realize that the new door one was literally one word
NEWDOOR = ONE WORD. Brilliant. Just got it.
I want to point out that another connection is that Saturn also DEVOURED his children.
saturn was the titan father of the original six gods. He ate them all except jupiter, who later cut him up and freed his siblings.
Finished second puzzle right after he said it. New Door is One Word
I was on the right track with the third riddle, but I wasn't even close with the other two.
Already figured our the second one... Pretty easy.
I got the first puzzle on my first glance and I swear I had never seen it before.
The last puzzle has another solution, dead is the only word that starts and ends with the same letter.
I thought it was the only one with repeated letters (D, as all the other words have distinct letters)
Asia, bomb, area and evidence are a few that came into my mind
the third puzzle could also be answered by saying "dead" is the only adjective. A fast could be a period of time without food.
+Sebastian Michaelis
Or by saying that 'dead' is the only word with a 'd' in it.
Me on the third one:
"Hmmm... Hermes, Aphrodite, Hestia, Ares, Zeus, Dionysus, Uranus, Poseidon, Hades
Wait, what's wrong with Hades?"
If only I'd have chosen Latin instead of Greek in school, I would've probably had it right DX
I suggest you watch a video from the user CGPgrey in which he talks about Pluto. Just look up "CGPgrey Pluto". He explains exactly why Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

Pluto is part of the Kuiper belt with thousands of Pluto-like objects in it. So if Pluto is a planet, so are those 1000 others.
The last puzzle should have the answer that all the words except dead do not have two of the same letter in them
the master at trolls is scam school!
I wish I could see him to solve his puzzles, I instantly knew the second puzzle.
that was so frustrating but I can't wait to use them on my friends now
I actually solved the New Door puzzle and the sky, king, sea, etc puzzle on my own. Couldn't get the other one though
The second one is so easy
You just right "one word"
hey! the puzzles are completely awesome.
Brian the first two have seen before. The third one I feel I,should have known.
Got the second one instantly. One word 😂
i got the "one word" one but its still a good one.
1st one in 2 seconds of seeing the quiz.
2nd one in 30 seconds.
3rd 3 minutes after the "big hint". (Some of the ones I wasn't sure why it was that word (like feast).
I got the second one seconds after it came up. It took a few moments for the first. I still don't have the last. :3
The hint for the 3rd one "This one is not a sequence", "They don't relate to each other" was misleading.
THAT IS SOOOO COOOOOOLLL
Anyone else immediately thought of Greek gods? Hades, Aphrodite, Hestia, Ares, Zeus or Kronos, Demeter/Persephone, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. And Hades doesn't reside on Mount Olympus (Although neither does Kronos, Persephone and Hestia, really)
9 diamonds 2 stacks of iron 4 stacks of lapiz 4 1/2 stacks of red stone 16 gold and 6 stacks of coal
THANK YOU ALL MIGHTY BRUSHWOOD
lol i just got the new door and im at 3:57 -- if u listen to him carefully ull get it, unless u watched it already
Yeah right...and i'm batman...! XD
Wow! I must be tired to not get those....
i got one word at the LAST second i was like YAH
for the number one if you combine the first three together you get 6 the second three 7 backwards then I figured 8
I got the first and second but couldn't get the third XD Whenever you find out how it's done you feel so stupid... like... "How the hell did I not get that?" Very tricky :)
does he really make them buy him beers lol
I watched this in the past yet I still remember the answers.
The really cool thing would be if you watched it in the future and remembered the answers in the past.
Bartek Strukowski OK whut?
For last one I started with furious beast alone ( associating extremely well know films to the beginning word ) lets se what is was , wrote on break sponsor
I worked the 1st one out in 1 minute. It's the opposite if the numbers on a calculator
as soon as he said one word i figured out that what we had to spell was one word
I got the 'New Door' one withinn 5 seconds of looking at it
one word
I said woorden. It's dutch for 'words'.
For 1, I'm at a loss, but if they are like alarm clock characters, I'm guessing nothing should be their because of the correspondence with the previous characters.
For 2... you sneaky bastard, Brian. I see what you're doing. Caught it right as you said it.
For 3, I really don't know what they are, and I don't want to finish the video. I'll figure this out if it kills me! One question though. It seems odd that you would randomly write "dead" on the paper and just mark it off. Is that a a reference to old literature?
oh , how dos your new door look ? nah im just kidding :P
It looks like the blonde guy is wearing fishnets lol
I got the New Door puzzle almost instantly but the others stumped me..
For the last one, I noticed that none of the words have the same letter twice, except dead with it's two d's. Thought that was the answer until he started talking about the words being associated with something.
never forget the classic 5318008
Yeah buddy!
I thought that the 9 words were just words that didn't have repeated letters in them, but DeaD has 2 Ds
I got the 'one word' one instantly!
I got the second one in my first guess. wood and red. Redwood
I guessed gods as soon as he said Fast, Beauty, and then it made it final when he said sea
What about turning NEW DOOR into DOORMEN. It's one word, and it was never said that you can't rotate the letters.
Guys! Did you know that Brian's haircut was based on
Redmore
I think for the first challange the last one should be blank to represent an eight
Nah on the calculator one, that's devil's work.
