I managed to figure this riddle quite quickly... This is the fifth Ted ed riddle I've successfully completed so far.
@@pvvineet1722 what is the answer to the third question?
@@bobonox4233 honestly, i believe that considering we can only use one disc throughout, our best shot in winning is to go with B, and hope that luck favours us in both the rounds, getting a four against A and C disc will do the trick, if C ends up in 1 instead of 5. The second way could be to pick A, in which case our odds of winning might just be a bit more better, considering B and C have greater odds of getting 2 or 1 respectively
@@bobonox4233 I believe A is slightly favored to win round 3.
Multiply each disk's chance of winning in round 1 by their chance of winning round 2.
Assuming your opponent will always choose their best option in round 1, odds of winning for each disk are:
A (against C) = 51%
B (against A) = 44%
C (against B) = 22%
Multiply by odds of winning round 2:
A = 51% x 29% = 14.79%
B= 44% x 33% = 14.52%
C = 22% x 38% = 8.36%
Therefore A is slightly favored over B in round 3!

I love this video
For the bonus round the chances of winning the entire time: (Assuming your enemy makes the most intelligent decision to combat you each time. Also round one, disk A is best combated by disk C, not B like what was used in the video; I used the proper calculation to give you the worst odds per disc for each round. Also it's so close, that I had to skip rounding.)
A: 14.5656%
B: 14.6168%
C: 14.607684%
The winner is B, by a hair. It is fun to note that disk C has odds of winning 38.22% in both rounds.
@Carlos Soprano They will choose B, because 1 loses to everything.
@Carlos Soprano Basically, A is best response to B and B is best response to C and C is best response to A.
@Carlos Soprano we have to choose first during the first riddle. If we were going second and our opponent picked C we would counter pick with B it's just A has no weak matchups so it's the best when you go first.

0:07 the crystal riddle reference omg-
The bonus question is the nicest of all three:
1st round: There are two possibilities for any disk you pick. Because the opponent is going to pick according to your pick, we are going to consider only the lowest winning odds (the opponent will choose in order to minimize your odds). For A this is 51%. For B this is 44%. For C this is 38.22%.
2nd round: The video explains this well. Just considering the second round, the odds of A winning is 28.56%. For B this is 33.22%. For C this is 38.22%.
3rd round: In order to get the odds of A winning this round, one must multiply A1 and A2, which gives 14.57%. Multiplying B1 and B2 give 14.62%. C1 and C2 give 14.61%.
We see that all three disks have incredibly similar odds, with B just barely coming out on top.
But the point is that there really is no difference no matter which one you pick. Cool, innit?
Where did round 3 come from?
We're just supposed to carry out the 2 rounds in succession with the same disk right?
Oh i get it now, by round 3 you mean the going through round 1 and round 2 in succession. Indeed this is pretty cool. The people coming up with these puzzles are amazing!
Indeed, but as B has a slight edge over the other two, you should go for that and stick with it. But, if it was that you have to face both of them in 1-on-1 matches, with all three of you locked to the same disk, followed by the battle royal with you still locked to the same disk, and you have to win all three matches, then B trumps out.
This is because in the case where you have to fight both of the unchosen disks in succession, A has a 28.56% chance of coming out on top after both fights, B has a 27.18% chance and C has only an 18.73% chance. And, as Raen showed, A has the same odds to win the battle royal, B has a 33.22% chance to win and C has a 38.22% chance.
Combining these, and A would have an 8.16% chance of winning all three fights, B would have a 9.03% chance and C would have a 7.16% chance of winning.
Either way, those two rivals really wanted to rig the odds to be not in your favour.
I think you have to calculate every possibility so the chances add up to 100%. Your first opponent won't pick thinking only about beating you in round 1, their strategy should be the same as yours. This leaves Disk A with ~31% chance of winning, Disk B with ~35% and Disk C with ~33%. Now the odds for Disk B are better.
"Which disk should you choose?" Me, an intellectual: "Ozo"

I like the callbacks to other riddles, like the eggs and elemental crystals on the shelves at the beginning
As a Pokemon fan, I absolutely love this riddle.
For anyone curious, the answer to the third round is disk B.
There’s actually two ways to look at this: does your opponent always choose the best disk to beat you in round 1? Or do they calculate the best remaining disk to maximize their odds of winning both rounds?
If we consider the first case, then the odds of winning are just multiplied:
A: .51 * .2856 = 14.57%
B: .44 * .3322 = 14.62%
C: .3822 * .3822 = 14.61%
So disk B is the best to keep for both rounds with a 14.62% chance of winning.
Now consider if the opponent considers that they also have to keep their choice for the battle royale, so they pick based on those odds instead of just the best disk to beat you in the first round. I’ll save you the tedious calculations, but in every case the opponent still picks the same one and the results are the same.
@Carlos Soprano It's because if you choose Disk C in round 1 the best option to counter it is Disk B (51% chance of summoning level 1 to lose no matter what + ~11% (.22*.49) chance to lose even w the lvl 5 summon)
At first I calculated the mean result of each disk. Like that B was the best disk as it has a mean expected value of 3.32 which is more than 3 of disk A and 2.96 of disk C. I think the answer for the last riddle is B because with many tries you get the best expected value. But it could also be C if you really need to win each battleroyal and not get the most levels
It's common sense lol
Respect for actually calculating that
I would choose B only because it was not the better options before, so it must be now 😂😂

Disk A: (probablity of winning part A) * (probablity of winning part B) = (probablity of being the very best)
part 1 = if player 1 takes A p2 takes C so p1 has a 51% of winning
part 2 = as mentioned in the vid, disk A has 28.56% chance of winning battle royal
final probablity Disk A = 0.14.5656%
Disk B
part 1= p1 takes B p2 takes A, p1 has 44% of winning
part 2 = 33.22% of winning BR
final probablity Disk B = 14.6168%
Disk C
part 1 = p1 takes C p2 takes B, p1 has 38.22% of winning
part 2 = also a 38.22% chance of winning BR

Love the subtle call back to previous videos
This was the first ted-ed riddle i ever completed! :D
For anyone wondering about the final question, you pick B!
A has 51% (1st round) x 28.56% (2nd round) = 14.57% chance of winning both rounds.
B has 44% (opponent would pick A round 1) x 33.22% = 14.62% chance of winning both rounds.
C has 38.22% (opponent would pick B round 1) x 38.22% = 14.61% chance of winning both rounds.
Fascinating how any one of the three disks can be made the best choice with such simple rule changes.
Edit:
This is correct assuming that the opponent is logically good and will choose as you said in 1st round.
Since that's not mentioned explicitly, we will have to assume that she has a 50% chance of selecting either of the other 2 disks.
In round 1, opponent can pick any one of the 2 disks.
A has 0.5×0.51+0.5×0.56=0.535
B wins over C 0.6178 of the times.
Hence, if B is selected, 0.5×0.6178+0.5×0.44=0.5289
Similarly with C, 0.4361
Then the rest of the logic is similar as yours.
I chose B for every round here
@@av.keshavshastry7785 Why is that so? The goal of the tournament is to win, so why not assume that the opponent is going to use the best possible move?
Either way, the odds are definitely stacked against you if you cannot switch.
Had to scroll way down to find this, but no - THIS IS INCORRECT.
They should pick C!
The odds of C beating B is 51% x 78% = 39.78%. (It looks like you mistakenly jotted down 38.22% twice).
This gives their overall odds to be 39.78% x 38.22% = 15.20%, making C the best chance of winning.

Me: probably not, but I’ll have fun watching the animation.

Why do you say that? I don't see it.
The crystals and the eggs in his room
One of the only riddles I've gotten right!
Wow, never imagined there would be a Ted-Ed opening quote by prof. Oak, that too from the games and not the anime! Yay!
Next week on Ted-Ed:
Can You Solve The Card Game Riddle
"My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards" -Yugi Muto
"I'll kill myself if you don't forfeit this children card game Yugi!"
-Seto Kaiba probably.
References (I'll edit if I find more)
0:07 Elemental, Eggs.
0:10 Moldevort.
0:29 Kanto (the dreaded region) starters.
2:10 Prepare for trouble, and make it double.
4:47 The first opening lyrics.
Overall: This video is a cease and desist bait for Nintendo.
I legitimately want an actual game to be made out of this!
Me too this is cool
0:13 Those are the disks from the crystal riddle where some students ate them up!
is nobody gonna talk about how MoldeVort signed the invitation letter thingy?
oh god every riddle is in the same universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just relised
it's from Moldevort
The lore is growing...

The logic games are awesome, but props to whoever makes the scenarios and names, they obviously love what they do and do it right
Was this the first time I actually solved the TED riddles. LESGOOOOOOOOO
I like all the references to the older riddles!
How to win:
Step one: know the difference between ozo and ulu
If I asked you to stop making obnoxious references to past riddles, would you say "ozo"?
Wait that's illegal
@Henry Amazeing step two: confirm you have green eyes.
Wait which riddle video was this from?
@@torazely ozo
As soon as I heard the word “Diskymon” I knew this would be a favorite.
Whoever made the designs are very creative
I'm way too happy that I finally managed to figure one of these out...
"Whoever summons the higher level diskimon wins"
Me: " I will cut you into a certain shape of triangle. "
and Im a giant blob great refrence
Well ozo, but actually ulu
*WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE ONLY HAVE 17 MINUTES TO CROSS THE BRIDGE BEFORE THE ZOMBIES COME*
Bruh 17? We have to lower 25 levels of water and be the ones to take it to zero.
Don’t worry, we just have to confirm the highest floor the egg won’t break on and we’ll be okay
keep the disky-disks away from those crystals, they would become even worse.
@Sonal Mohrir obviously yes

What's kind of funny is that the Diskymon counter each other in reverse type order than the pokemon they're based off of. Burgersaur counters Churrozard since it takes advantage of its 56% chance of only getting a level 2 Churromander, Churrozard counters Wartortilla since it will always win against a level 1 Wartortilla while also having a 22% chance of beating the Blastortilla making it better against it than Burgersaur and Wartortilla would then counter Burgersaur due to its 49% chance of winning against it(below 50/50 odds but its still the best option). Normally in Pokemon this would be reversed(Bulbasaur countering Wartortle countering Charizard countering Bulbasaur)
I loved how they put things that reffered to the previous riddle-
My brain: Why is this my favourite teded video
Also my brain: *P U N S V E R Y G O O D*
*c h u r r o z a r d*
1:20 Ted ed: "Before you start counting probabilities..."
Me: Oh no...
the same 😂
Except by the time the referee is kidnapped, "you" already won, and what they're doing not only doesn't change it, it's also illegal. You don't even need to start calculating your odds. The moment the referee is restrained, armed security guards arrive and surround the two rivals and riddle both of them with bullet holes before either has a chace to reach out to their disk.
You are correct in everything but one. This show is owned by 4kids. They only have finger guns!
But because it's 4Kids, the cops are still able to arrest the other contestants somehow.
I love this riddle because I love Pokémon plz more of these!
Me: b
Ted-ed: no its A but you can try again with different rules
Me: b?
Ted-ed: C, but you can try again again
Me: B?
Ted-ed: Doesn't say
Me: LIFE ISN'T FAIR
Last one is C
@@MathematicallyAFox rlly?
@@MathematicallyAFox how do u know
@@casesater Just multiply the odds for the two matches and you get the percent.
@@MathematicallyAFox
You probably might have a rounding error from using whole numbers; from what I've calculated, here's the full list:
Choice A:
In round 1, victory chances against B and C are 56% and 51% respectively; opponent chooses C to better their odds.
In round 2, victory chances are 28.56%.
Multiply together for a chance of 14.5656%.
Choice B:
In round 1, victory chances against A and C are 44% and 61.78% respectively; opponent chooses A to better their odds.
In round 2, victory chances are 33.22%.
Multiply together for a chance of 14.6168%.
Choice C:
In round 1, victory chances against A and B are 51% and 38.22% respectively; opponent chooses B to better their odds.
In round 2, victory chances are 38.22%.
Multiply together for a chance of 14.607684%.
So, B comes out on top for its relative consistency across both rounds, but only very slightly.
"mum, can we get pokemon?"
"we have pokemon at home"
pokemon at home:
The first of these videos that I actually properly worked out the answer to. I’m a lot prouder than I should be rn
Me: "I got his, here we go"
TedEd: "There are three disky-disks"
Me: "Ok, I'm out"
i got the first one
Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold
- *Professor Oak, in Pokémon*
The inspiration from Pokemon is so funny and wholesome.
2:05 that was a level 4 !!!! Churrozard should’ve won
The tournament was rigged, all for the profit of the Big Disky.
One, two oops you messed up!
When you realize this is just Pokémon but food:
“Pokémon: Gotta *Vore* Them All!”
NO
You mean pocket foodsters?
NO
