    --
    You’re a biologist on a mission to keep the rare honeybee Apis Trifecta from going extinct. The last 60 bees of the species are in your terrarium. You’ve already constructed wire frames of the appropriate size and shape. Now you need to turn them into working beehives by filling every hex with wax. Can you help the bees create producing hives? Dan Finkel shows how.

      Yeah, it's really good. And so is the sound design. I honestly can't tell if the animations were stop motion or just really good CG and it's frankly blowing my mind.
      Edit: Ok I think it was stop motion just because the animation frame rate is 1/2 the video frame rate.

    It’s actually way simpler than it seems.
    Step 1: Confirm the bees have green eyes
    Step 2: Place one bee into a hive
    Step 3: Have the bee transform the first hex, and then have it ask to be let out to the next hex, the bee must be allowed to do this because it has green eyes and is therefore allowed to leave
    Step 4: Wait until it transforms all of the hives
    Step 5: Place another bee in the hive to make a queen
    Step 6: Repeat the process with each hive having a worker and a queen
    Step 7: 60 original bees/ 2 bees in every hive= 30 hives

    You can also arrange the bees in a spiral, you get the same number of hives but it's a bit more aesthetically pleasing and intuitive.
    Step 1. Put three bees around the center hex with none of them in adjacent hexes
    Step 2. From each of the first three bees, move two hexes out from the center, and then shift clockwise (or counter clockwise, doesn't matter) by one hex; that's where you'll put the next three bees.
    Step 3. From each of the second set of three bees, move out and clockwise (or counter clockwise if that's what you did in step 2) to the corners of the hive, where the last three bees will go.
    And there you go, a nice pretty bee spiral :)

    The answer depends on knowing the dimensions of the hive, but at no point in the introduction are the dimensions specified. It just says you've constructed frames of the appropriate size and shape without ever detailing what the appropriate size and shape are. Sure, you could count the cells in the illustration, but the dimensions ought to be given in the info summary.

    Fun way to solve:
    -pause video at 1:12 with the blank hive, then take a snip capture.
    -Add a red X for each bee you add, then highlight yellow in the adjacent honeycombs that get waxed.
    Once you get a solution, try again to see if you can beat it.

    Step 1: put two bees in the hive
    Step 2: tell them that at least one of them has green eyes
    Step 3: wait one day
    Step 4: both bees realize that they both have green eyes, so they are able to safely leave the hex they are in
    Step 5: wait for the bees to fill in the rest of the hexes by themselves
    Step 6: introduce one more bee to act as the queen

  • @yuxin7440
    @yuxin7440 4 роки тому +5

    Great problem! This is actually more difficult than I thought, and I did not get the optimal solution on my own.
    My solution involves 12 bees in star configuration (leaving the center empty, 4 on each star edge), and it can do 4 hive as 60 / (12 + 1) = 4 with 8 remains (at this point, I kind of aware that it might not be the most efficient way as the 4 on the line are next to each other (and the fact that there are 8 remains, TedEd riddles are usually resolved in nice numbers and probably has no remains :)).
    My thought process starts the same as the provided solution as I also realized 3 bees are required to populate the smallest 7 blocks hive. However, I did not realize the immutability of total perimeters. When I extend the 7-block case to larger hive, I just add 3 more on the corner (forming the star configuration) as I know a 120-degree angle is enough to populate a parallelogram that its two edges can span.
    Anyway, the optimal solution really surprised me and is more elegant than I imaged.

    • @picklesauce7983
      @picklesauce7983 Рік тому

      The solution is very simple if you do math olympiads. This type of problem is incredibly standard and called a monovariant since the perimeter of the figure is non-increasing at every step. Also, your observation of the "immutability of total perimeter" is wrong because the perimeter can decrease.

  • @carsonwong2234
    @carsonwong2234 3 роки тому

    I solved this by drawing a hexagon out and try to fit bees with best outcome each time, it is satisfying when you place the 9th bee and see the hex grow rapidly afterward.

  • @spmagic9083
    @spmagic9083 4 роки тому +4

    Or, I can just write a machine learning algorithm going through thousands of simulations. Then the program can tell me where to put each bee. But that just takes the fun out of riddles.

    I just placed the next bee at the hex one up, and one up-left from the previous one. Repeated that pattern throughout the hive. This solution is soo much more elegant. The way it grows is really beautiful. The whole number of edges idea thing felt pretty pointless tho, and would have liked it if the explaination instead focused more on how to find that winning pattern.
