The imaginary number i is equal to the square root of negative 1. But i to the power of i is a real number, approximately 0.208. Why is this true? It is an incredibly tricky calculation if you want to justify the steps properly. All of the videos I've seen on i^i use an unjustified step, including mine. So what is the proper way to calculate i to the power of i? Special thanks this month to: Daniel Lewis, Kyle, Lee Redden, Mike Robertson.

Four friends claim they have been wrongly imprisoned. They are not criminals but mere harmless logicians! The warden says, "If you are in fact logicians I will set you free. But first you have to prove it to me." Can they work it out? I have seen this puzzle shared in many places. I based my graphic on a widely circulated graphic but I have been unable to determine the original source–if you know it please let me know. The links below are examples of how the puzzle has been shared. https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/11557/who-will-shout-first https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/1980/four-prisoners-wearing-black-and-white-hats Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/MindYourDecisions?sub_confirmation=1 Send me suggestions by email (address at end of many videos).

Everything you knew about coin flipping is wrong. In 2007 a paper by Diaconis-Holmes-Montgomery developed a theoretical model of coin flipping and suggested human coin flipping results in a bias towards showing the same side. Just now, researchers conducted perhaps the largest coin flipping experiment in history by flipping coins 350,757 times and they confirmed this bias exists. Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started: Evidence from 350,757 Flips https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04153 Images Creative Commons BY or public domain https://www.google.com/search?q=flip+a+coin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers#/media/File:Wright_First_Flight_1903Dec17_(full_restore_115).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BradmanAllenToss.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coin_toss_at_Super_Bowl_43_1.jpg Diaconis, Persi, Susan Holmes, and Richard Montgomery.

Thanks to Alp for the suggestion! This question is adapted and translated from a Turkish University Entrance Exam. The first step is the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) which about 3 million students aged around 18 years take. Then there are Field Proficiency Tests (AYT) in Turkish language and literature, social sciences, mathematics, and science. About 2 million students take this. The AYT can be quite challenging.

This puzzle is adapted from a British Mathematical Olympiad question, but it makes for a very interesting technical coding interview question too. Part one is to find all solutions in non-negative integers so the sum of two square roots is the square root of 2023. The second is to generalize and write Python code to compute all solutions for the square root of a given natural number n. Thanks to Rohit for reviewing the computer code!

Recently Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin visited 11th grade students (about 17-18 years old) and asked them a challenging geometry problem. Can you figure it out? I came across this puzzle in Alex Bellos's column on The Guardian. He has a new book that I wanted to share titled "The Language Lover's Puzzle Book." I read a review copy of the math puzzles chapter and it was very fun to work out the puzzles. Links to the book and other work by Alex Bellos below ⬇⬇⬇ Amazon link* https://amzn.to/3nIqjwH *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. *I am very curious how many people will read this comment and check out the book. If this is something people are interested in, I will definitely feature books and resources in future videos. But I need data to know for sure.

Two boats make a round trip from opposite shores of a lake. They meet and pass at 500 units from the left shore, then at 300 units from the right shore. The boats move at a constant speed and turn around instantly from the shores. What is the distance between the shores? What is the ratio of the speeds of the boats?

Thanks to George Tan for suggesting this problem! It is from the 2019 SPM paper in Malaysia. Many students cried after taking the exam, and many teachers found the problems to be very challenging as well. (This means the problems were hard given the syllabus and expectations of the exam--no need to let us know that you found it easy. I am sure everyone who learns from MindYourDecisions videos will find such problems easy with practice).

There's a short warm-up puzzle followed by the main puzzle. Thanks to Greg in Hungary (warm-up) and Jorn in Holland for suggesting these problems! *In my original video, I solved for day 3 with AND but mistakenly wrote "OR". Interestingly the OR is much easier to solve, and the answer works out to the same day. But I prepared this corrected video to be as accurate as possible.

This problem comes from an exam in 1888 for secondary school students. It was actually optional so it was considered to be a challenging problem. I bet some students today will struggle with it too, but it's the kind of problem solving I think we should all learn. Can you figure it out?

I didn't solve this problem myself, but I felt better when I learned WolframAlpha couldn't solve it either! But there is a way to solve it using careful mathematical reasoning. Thanks to Luka Khizambareli from Georgia for suggesting this and sending its solution! (*And you have to be really careful--I thank Aniket Gupta and Ryan Wilson for spotting a mistake in the first video I uploaded) Update: As of November it seems WolframAlpha can solve it--I love to see how these tools just keep getting better!

Thanks to Tyler Cenko, and Caio Cerqueira from Brazil, for suggesting this wonderful number puzzle! I had a lot of fun solving this. Can you make 6 from 3 copies of the same number, where the number ranges from 0 to 10? You can use common mathematical operations, but you cannot introduce any new digits (so the cube root is not allowed), and you must have an equality (this is not a trick question with the "not equal" sign). This is a great exercise for building mathematical number sense! See the video for the many solutions.

A 6 digit number abcdef has the following property. Make a table with 6 rows, where column i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is the number abcdef multiplied by i. (If the first row was 123456, the second row would be 123456 x 2 = 246912). The result is a Latin square: each row and each column has those same 6 different digits. Can you figure out a value of abcdef?

Thanks to Josh for this problem! And thanks to Folke for emailing it to me! There are 7 doors in a line. A mouse starts in the middle at door 4. At doors 1 and 7 are cats. Every day the mouse moves one door left or right randomly, each direction with an equal 50% chance. If the mouse reaches a door with a cat (door 1 or door 7), the game ends as a cat catches the mouse. What is the average number of days until the mouse is caught? Daniel V pointed out an error: At 11:55 the rightmost door should be a 1--it mistakenly transforms into a 3. Thanks to all patrons!

Thanks to Mike Painter for emailing me! This problem comes from a 1957 math class. A man is standing due East of a tower and notes it subtends an angle of 45 degrees with the tower. He walks South 42.4 feet and the subtended angle is 30 degrees. How tall is the tower? (The subtended angle is from the ground to the top of the tower.) Remember this problem is from 1957, so you can only use pencil and paper! After making the video, I learned of a very similar problem from an even older text from around 1900, pretty neat! https://books.google.com/books?id=96hXAAAAYAAJ&dq=height%20of%20tower%20man%20due%20east%20south&pg=PA254#v=onepage&q&f=false My blog post for this video https://wp.me/p6aMk-7YV If you like my videos, you can support me at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindyourdecisions Connect on social media.

Hippocrates of Chios solved this, nearly 100 years before Euclid even wrote The Elements, and before we knew the exact formula for the area of a circle. This is said to be the first precise mathematical of the area between two curved lines. Learn how he solved for the area of a crescent-shaped lune (same Latin root as luna for moon). And I hope this will inspire you to solve a problem today that students thousands of years from now will learn in grade school.

Thanks to George who sent me this problem (created by 7th grade math teacher Ms. V)! There is a table in the video. The numbers in the first column are increased by the same percentage to give the numbers in the second column. But the numbers in the second column are coded with letters! Still, can you figure out the percentage increase? It seems impossible, but it can be solved!

Thanks to Brian Galebach who created and sent me this problem! You arrive at a park where geysers A, B, and C erupt at intervals of precisely 2, 4, and 6 hours, respectively. Each started erupting independently at a random time in history, unknown to you. What are the probabilities that each geyser (A, B, and C) will be the first to erupt after your arrival? I also received an email this problem was asked during an interview for Amazon. My blog post for this video https://wp.me/p6aMk-7Y1 Source: Brian Galebach created the problem and gave permission for me to post it in a video. It was previously shared on Oliver Roeder's Riddler column on 538: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/which-geyser-gushes-first/ . https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-long-will-your-smartphone-distract-you-from-family-dinner/#solution This is a creative approach, but I personally felt it was hard to visualize and calculate the volumes.

Thanks to Tim for sending this problem! The total amount of sand contained in Boxes A, B and C is 360 grams. First a mathematician pours 1/6 of the sand from Box A into Box B. After that, the mathematician pours 1/3 of the sand in Box B into Box C. Finally, the mathematician pours 1/5 of the sand in Box C into Box A. At the end, each box has an equal amount of sand. How much sand did each box have at the beginning? Watch the video for a solution.

Some Scottish students felt the National 5 Maths Exam was too difficult, particularly this tricky umbrella question. The test is not yet released, so I have re-constructed the problem as best as I could from accounts of the exam. Here is the problem: "Can an umbrella 85 cm long fit diagonally inside a locker with length 40 cm, width 40 cm, and height 70 cm?"

Alice and Bob are playing a game. Alice starts by placing a knight on the chessboard. Then they take turns moving the knight to a new square (standard chess rules apply: the knight moves in an "L" shape). The first player who cannot move the knight to a new square loses the game. Who wins if both players play optimally, and what is the winning strategy? This is quite the game theory challenge; watch the video for the remarkable solution!

Thank you for 100 million views! To celebrate, here's a puzzle related to 100 million, sent by Karin. Find a sequence of 100 million consecutive non-prime numbers. That is, every number is composite—not a single number is a prime number. The method can actually be generalized for arbitrary lengths too! Watch the video for the solution.

Thanks to Ben Craft for sending me this problem and its solution! Find a value of x such that (3 + 4)(3^2 + 4^2)(3^4 + 4^4)(3^8 + 4^8)(3^16 + 4^16)(3^32 + 4^32) = 4^x - 3^x. There's a really neat trick that simplifies the problem like magic! Thanks to Nar235 and Jonathan Love for finding a mistake in the wording! The earlier problem was solve for 4^x - 3^y, but that has infinitely many solutions.

This problem is tricky even for people who are good with numbers. Can you make 24 from the numbers 3, 3, 8, 8? You can use the operations + - × ÷ ( ). You have to use all four numbers (the digit 3 two times and the digit 8 two times). There are no tricks here!

"One day it started snowing in the morning at a heavy and steady rate. A snowplow started out at noon, going 2 miles in the first hour and 1 mile in the second hour. What time did it start snowing?" Say what?! This is a famous problem from the 1942 book "Differential Equations" by Ralph Palmer Agnew. I came across it on Roy Wright's blog (https://roywright.me/2018/03/01/favorite-math-problem/). You can assume the snowplow's speed is inversely proportional to the snow that has fallen. And then, using the magic of calculus, we can find an answer! Watch the video for a solution.

Thanks to Hyeong-jun (H. J.) for emailing me this problem! This is a challenging problem from the math section of the 1997 CSAT, a standardized test in South Korea. Can you figure it out? It took me several attempts, but it was really satisfying when I solved it (I did need to look up one key insight, which is the first thing presented in the solution). So give it a try, and don't peek at the rest of the solution too early! 0:00 Problem 1:58 My many attempts 3:28 Unwrapping a cone 5:14 Solution Coordinate geometry solution and proof of uphill/downhill track https://www.desmos.com/calculator/l188uqapxo Note: pretty much every time I said or wrote "circular arc" I meant to say or write "circular sector."

Thanks to Daniel from Hungary for sending me this question from a math exam! When empty, a container fills completely from a faucet in A hours. When full, the same container drains completely if its drain is open for B hours. If the faucet is on and the drain is open at the same time, how many hours will it take to completely fill the container? You are given |A - B| = 1.

What is the sum of a geometric series for a finite number of terms? What about an infinite number of terms? The video presents an animated proof of the famous formulas. Once you understand it, you can test yourself by solving the problem: what is 6 + 66 + 666 + .... + 66...6? The last term has 666 digits of 6.

Thanks to Professor Henk Tijms for this puzzle suggestion! A few years ago I read a probability book by Henk Tijms and really enjoyed it. So I was both surprised and thrilled to get an email from Professor Tijms saying he's a fan of MindYourDecisions! Today's problem is adapted from his new book "Probability: A Lively Introduction." (More precise wording is in the video.) Consider a cake with n candles. What is E(times to blow them all out)? Given: when the cake has k candles, your attempt to blow them out results in a random number of burning candles from 0 to k - 1, each case equally likely. Professor Henk Tijms http://personal.vu.nl/h.c.tijms/ If you buy from the book links below I may receive a commission for sales. This has no effect on the price for you. Books by Henk Tijms I recommend: Understanding Probability http://amzn.to/2HBR9zt Probability: A Lively Introduction http://amzn.to/2EJaOzH Nestor from Barcelona did the problem "the hard way" by solving for the number of ways to blow out k candles in n attempts. I didn't have a chance to check all the details but it appeared correct on first glance.

Thanks to Lucas from Brazil who sent this problem! This is a proof that 3 = 0 using sneaky algebra that I had never seen before (this is a sneaky mistake, not a simple divide by 0 fallacy). Every step seems correct, but the conclusion is clearly false. Can you find the mistake?

Thanks to Bill from New York for this suggestion! Bill emailed me a problem asked to 5th graders in China to identify talented students. A few very talented students did solve it in less than one minute! I was not able to solve the problem at all. The question involves finding the area of a red triangle in a parallelogram, for a diagram you can see in the video. Even though I didn't solve it, I really enjoyed learning the solution. And I'm really impressed that any 5th grader (10 to 11 year olds) could solve this in less than a minute.

Thanks to Alessio from Italy for creating this problem and sending it to me! A cyclist and a series of motorcycles are racing to the top of a long climb, and the cyclist doubles back. Given how many motorcycles passed the cyclist, can you figure out the motorcycles' speed? (precise wording in video, too long to fit here). From the scant information provided, can you figure it out? I present two solutions in the video. Do watch the entire video as the geometry solution is quite satisfying.

This question has generated a lot of debate online. BuzzFeed's video has 450,000+ views already.

It's not the famous Cheryl's birthday problem...According to Mothership, this math problem is causing a lot of confusion: "There are 37 students in a class.

Little known fact: Abraham Lincoln was a very good math student! In this video I share the story of why he studied Euclid's Elements. I also share a problem he did while in school. He did in fact get the correct answer, and we can deduce the steps he took from the somewhat mysterious calculations in his manuscript.

Media outlets around the world went crazy over a 5th grade math exam question in China. But they all missed the real story! The problem actually dates back to French researchers in 1979.

Media outlets around the world are reporting on these math problems that have "flummoxed" everyone. As these got so much attention, I wanted to share some of the headlines and give a small discussion about what I think is the real lesson of these problems. Special thanks to emails that suggested these problems from Abhi (China problem) and Vinicius (dog show problem). Actually the captain's age dates back to French researchers 40 years ago!

Did you know some math problems were used to discriminate against groups of people? This is one such problem, and it stumped me! But it has an unbelievably elegant solution. Take any equilateral triangle and pick a random point inside the triangle. Draw from each vertex a line to the random point. Two of the three angles at the random point are known, let’s say angles x and y. If the 3 line segments from each vertex to the random point were removed out of the original triangle to form a new triangle, what would the new triangle’s angles be? Thanks to Daniel E for sharing this puzzle! Also do check out these sources for the historical background to this problem and other similar "killer problems" that are easy to state and nearly impossible to solve unless you know the trick (in which case they are readily solvable problems).

On January 22, 2018, Facebook Open Source tweeted to announce the "flick," a unit of time to help sync various video frame rates and audio sampling frequencies. The media loved the story and some explained the idea. But no one explained where the mysterious number 705,600,000 actually came from. And what's neat is you can derive it using number theory! In this video I explain the flick time unit and derive its value.

The Online Math Olympiad is a contest for high school students with challenging problem. This 2016 test had an average score of 9 out of 30. This video is an adaption of problem 16 which is an interesting probability puzzle. At the end of day 0, six magical seeds are planted. On each day following, each seed has a chance to magically transform into an apple tree with a probability of 1/2. Once a seed transforms into an apple tree, it stays an apple tree and survives indefinitely. What is the expected number of days until all six seeds have become apple trees? Can you figure it out? Thanks to: Arbitrary Renaissance (https://www.youtube.com/user/ExplosiveBrohoof/) for suggesting the problem and writing up a solution to fill in details from the official solution.

This problem comes from a national exam in Malaysia. A cylindrical container with length 20 cm is placed on the floor against the wall as shown in the diagram. Point Q is on the edge of the base and Q is 2 cm from the wall and 1 cm from the floor. Can the cylindrical container fit inside a box whose dimensions are 21 cm × 7 cm × 7 cm? Why or why not? Assume the wall and floor are perpendicular. Thanks to the person who emailed me this! [Update 5 Feb 2018] Here's a solution from a teacher in Malaysia which is very similar to the solution I presented: https://www.facebook.com/maths.video/photos/a.581783621835231.146536.503727749640819/1847702531909994/?type=3&theater My blog post for this video https://wp.me/p6aMk-5oj Thanks to all patrons!

This is one of those puzzles that seems completely impossible to solve at first, but it has a delightful solution. Thanks to Oskar for sending me this! The problem appeared on an early round of the Norway Math Olympiad and students had about 5 minutes on average to solve the problem. The numbers a, b, and c are positive integers. An apple cost $a, a banana costs $b, and a cherry costs $c. The cost of b apples, b bananas, and a + b cherries is $77. What would the cost be for one apple, two bananas, and one cherry? Watch the video for a solution.

A kite is placed in a square, can you figure out one of its angles? I made a video for this "impossibly hard" problem from a New Zealand maths exam. But it turned out my proof had a flaw, which some of you pointed out in the comments! It turns out the problem still has the same answer which is interesting. So in this video I correct the flaw and show a correct proof. I also give another way to find the answer which is elegant in its own right, suggested by another comment.

I WAS WRONG! This video shows the correct answer, but there was a slight flaw in the proof presented so I made a new video to correct it.

In a square, a line is drawn from the bottom left corner with length 12 to the interior of the square. From the end of that line, a perpendicular is drawn going up and left with length 3. From the end of that line, another perpendicular is drawn going up and right with length 9. This line segment ends at the upper right corner of the square. What is the value of x, the square's side length?

This challenging problem was given to 8th graders in Russia, but it stumped me! The question was presented as text only--no diagram. Also, the problem was part of an entrance exam for a selective high school. Can you solve it? From each corner of a parallelogram, draw two line segments to connect the corner to the midpoints of the opposite sides. These eight line segments bound an octagon. What is the ratio of the octagon’s area to the parallelogram’s area? Thanks to Michael K. for suggesting the problem and sending the solution!

Home base is defined by a geometric construction. Take a square whose side is 17" and then remove two corners. The adjacent sides are 8.5", and the two remaining sides are 12" and meet at a right angle. The only problem: this is an impossible* shape mathematically! How can we fix baseball? In the video I solve for the correct measurements of the two remaining sides. *impossible in the standard Euclidian plane. I mean who would play baseball in any other kind of geometry any way? ;) My blog post for this video https://wp.me/p6aMk-5lt Rule 2.02 in 2017 MLB handbook http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y2016/official_baseball_rules.pdf Now I know http://nowiknow.com/why-every-baseball-game-breaks-the-rules/ Via NY Post http://nypost.com/2016/10/05/americas-pastime-is-based-on-impossible-math/ MathWorld http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HomePlate.html Math on the McKenzie http://mathonthemckenzie.blogspot.com/2013/05/pythagorean-geometry-confounds-home.html The Mathematical Tourist http://mathtourist.blogspot.com/2010/06/pythagoras-at-plate.html If you like my videos, you can support me at Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mindyourdecisions Connect on social media.

This puzzle went viral in the discrete mathematics community because so many people got it wrong! You roll a fair dice until you get a 6. What is the expected number of rolls, including the roll of 6, conditioned on the event that all previous rolls (if any) were even numbers? Gil Kalai did a survey on his blog that covers graduate level mathematics, and only about 18 percent guessed correctly. Over 50 percent chose the same wrong answer. Can you figure it this counter-intuitive puzzle? My blog post for this video https://wp.me/p6aMk-5jL Oxford Dictionary of English definition and usage for dice https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/dice (*In the video I incorrectly said "Oxford English Dictionary" which turns out to be a whole other thing.

Can you count the number of rectangles in the grid? How about in the L-shaped grid? These problems appeared on the TV show Superhuman hosted by Kal Penn (Kalpen Modi). The contestant Summer gave the correct answer to each challenge in about 10 seconds. It would seem you have to be a savant to count the possibilities so quickly. But in fact anyone can solve the problems with the "super power" of mathematics. In this video I explain a mathematical method for counting rectangles. By request, here is a version of the video at 88 percent opacity (slightly grey text, like YouTube's dark theme), but I do not think it looks as nice: https://youtu.be/HHbARmoEfdY My blog post for this video: https://wp.me/p6aMk-5j8 Superhuman TV Show Rectangled Challenge (contains spoiler of the answer--avoid watching if you want to solve it first!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyLZByxvwZ4 If you like my videos, you can support me at Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mindyourdecisions Connect on social media.

Dave Carpenter sent me this problem by email and it's a really fun problem--I actually miscalculated the answer on my first attempt! If eight ants on corners of a cube each randomly move to an adjacent corner, what is the chance none of the ants collide? *The video originally posted https://youtu.be/dDrhWQVLdL8 had the wording, "What is the probability that none of the ants collide? In other words, what is the chance that the cube has one ant at each corner after the ants move?" Some people were confused by the second sentence, as two ants could swap corners with colliding. The puzzle is about the ants not colliding. To remove any ambiguity, I re-uploaded a video without the second sentence.

If 5 people (A, B, C, D, E) are randomly seated at a circular table, what is the probability A and B will be seated next to each other? What if they are seated in a row instead? And what is the answer, for both cases (circular and row), if there are n people? (Seated randomly means the uniform distribution–each person is equally likely to be in any seat). This problem has been asked during interviews for programmers at Bloomberg and at and other technical jobs. Watch the video for a solution.

Mr. Lars and his wife Mrs. Lars went to a meetup and met 4 other married couples. Some people shook hands with each other, but no person shook hands with his or her spouse, and no person shook his or her own hand. Mr. Lars then asked each person, including his wife, “How many distinct people did you shake hands with?” Each person answered honestly, and surprisingly each person gave a different answer! How many distinct people did Mrs. Lars shake hands with? And how many distinct people did Mr. Lars shake hands with? It seems impossible, but you can actually solve this! Watch the video for a solution.

I majored in math at Stanford, but this geometry problem stumped me and I had to look up the solution. A square is inscribed in a circle. A smaller square is drawn; one side is shared with the inscribed square, and the other two corners touch the circle. What is the ratio of the large square's area to the small square's area? This problem was asked during a job interview. I could not solve it; can you? Watch the video for a solution. *Small correction: at 1:35 I said "small circle" but I meant "small square."

If the last digit of this POSITIVE whole number becomes the first digit, the resulting number is exactly twice as large. My number is the smallest whole number with this property. What is my number? Watch the video for a solution. I'll give you a hint: you are unlikely to solve for the answer by casually guessing it. But a genius might be able to. Legendary mathematician Freeman Dyson apparently heard the problem and instantly replied with the number of digits in the answer.

On a table are nine face-up cards. Each card displays a different number from the list: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. Alice and Bob alternately take turns. Each picks a single card on a turn, and Alice goes first. Once a card is chosen it cannot be selected again. The game ends when someone wins or all the cards have been selected. The winner is the first person to collect a set of 3 cards with a product of 32,768. If neither player does this, the game ends in a draw. If both play optimally, does either player have a winning strategy? Or does the game always end in a draw? How should you play this game? Watch the video for a solution.

"In a barn, 100 chicks sit peacefully in a circle. Suddenly, each chick randomly pecks the chick immediately to its left or right. What is the expected number of unpecked chicks?" This question is from the 2017 Raytheon National MathCounts competition that took place today. It took me like 5 minutes to solve it. Congrats to Luke Robitaille who buzzed in under one second and gave the correct answer! Watch the video for a detailed solution and a pedantic discussion of the wording of the question. My blog post for this video: https://wp.me/p6aMk-5bI If you've been watching my videos, you should know how to solve this! This problem is like guessing on a matching test (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2VMMlpEtRU) or figuring out how many shuffled cards do not move position (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUo53pIplhc). Some people are confused about the linearity of expectation. It works even if the events are not independent. You can read the discussion at Math Stackexchange and see the linearity of expectation proof is correct: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2282622/expected-number-of-unpecked-chicks-nyt-article Sources https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/us/math-counts-national-competition.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/864216835524362240 http://www.businessinsider.com/espn-math-competition-winning-question-2017-5 http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/luke-robitaille-named-2017-raytheon-mathcounts-national-champion-300457632.html https://www.mathcounts.org/national-competition http://www.espn.com/watch/?id=3034800&_slug_=2017-raytheon-mathcounts-national-competition If you like my videos, you can support me at Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mindyourdecisions Connect on social media.

There are 25 mechanical horses and a single racetrack. Each horse completes the track in a pre-programmed time, and the horses all have different finishing times, unknown to you. You can race 5 horses at a time. After a race is over, you get a printout with the order the horses finished, but not the finishing times of the horses. What is the minimum number of races you need to identify the fastest 3 horses? I was suggested this puzzle via email by Terry Stickels. This is also a popular interview question at tech companies like Google.

Weather in Mathland is determined by chance. If it rains on a given day, then the probability it will rain the next day increases by 10 percentage points (up to 100%). If it does not rain on a given day, then the probability it will rain the next day decreases by 10 percentage points (down to 0%). If the probability it will rain today is 60%, what is the probability that it will eventually rain every day, for all time? Watch the video for a solution.

An evil warden holds you prisoner, but offers you a chance to escape. There are 3 doors A, B, and C. Two of the doors lead to freedom and the third door leads to lifetime imprisonment, but you do not which door is what type. You are allowed to point to a door and ask a single yes-no question to the warden. If you point to a door that leads to freedom, the warden does answer your question truthfully. But if you point to the door that leads to imprisonment, the warden answers your question randomly, either saying "yes" or "no" by chance. Can you think of a question and figure out a way to escape for sure?

Martin has a garden with 100 poisonous flowers. He can destroy exactly 3, 5, 14, or 17 at a time, but if at least one flower survives, then the flowers also grow back based on how many were destroyed (3 die, 12 grow back; 5 die, 17 grow back; 14 die, 8 grow back; 17 die, 2 grow back). If the number of flowers is exactly 0, then the flowers never grow back. Can Martin ever get rid of all the flowers in his garden? Watch the video for a solution.

A teacher writes six words on the board: cat, dog, has, max, dim, tag. The teacher hands a piece of paper to Albert, another to Bernard, and another to Cheryl. The teacher explains each paper contains a different letter from one of the words written on the board. The teacher asks if Albert knows the secret word, and *after a moment, he replies aloud, "Yes." The teacher then asks Bernard, and after a moment of thinking, he also says, "Yes." And finally Cheryl is asked and she takes a moment and then confidently replies, "Yes," she also knows the word. Albert, Bernard and Cheryl always ace their logic exams. What was the secret word? Watch the video for the solution. *Since the original wording caused confusion, I meant to say each person takes a moment to think. As written in the video there was room for interpretation--if I were grading I would have accepted any logically reasoned conclusion. My blog post for this video http://wp.me/p6aMk-52W I adapted this problem from the puzzle "Yes, Yes, Yes" in "The Great Book of Mind Teasers & Mind Puzzlers" by George J. Summers, which has the same situation with 5 words.

You are given a list of 5 mathematicians and have to match each to the correct birth year. But since you were never taught about these mathematicians, you do not know any of the answers. So you decide to guess randomly by matching the 5 names to 5 years. What is your expected number of correct guesses? What if the test asked you to match N names N birth years--how many would you expect to answer correctly by guessing randomly? Watch the video for a solution.

A horse is tied to an outside corner of a 20 foot by 10 foot rectangular barn. What is the maximum area the horse can graze outside, if the rope has length L? Solve for L = 5 and L = 25 (find exact answers). If you are up for a challenge, solve for L = 50 (answer to 3 decimal places). The video presents solutions to these cases. My blog post for this video http://wp.me/p6aMk-50P Small corrections to video -At 5:40 I meant to say "40 squared" instead of "40" -At 10:34 I meant to say "quadrilateral" instead of "rectangle" -At 12:44 I meant to say "large triangle" instead of "large rectangle" -At 14:55 The area is an approximate numerical value, not an exact equals sign If you like my videos, you can support me at Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mindyourdecisions Connect on social media.

The Holderness Family posted this problem for 1st grade students (6 year olds in US) to Facebook. The picture shows some letters that are arranged in a pattern. Use the key to find the missing letter. The key is A = 5, B = 6, C = 7, etc., Z = 30. The picture is a 3x3 grid with the 4 corner squares and the center square. The first row has the corner squares "?" and G, the second row is the center square B, and the third row is the corner squares S and P. Which letter is the "?" supposed to be? In this video I explain what many people believe to be the correct answer.

In front of you are 3 boxes. One box contains only apples, another box contains only oranges, and the last contains both apples and oranges. The first box has the label "apples," the second "oranges," and the third "apples and oranges." Unfortunately all of the labels are wrong. Your job is to fix the labels. You are not allowed to peek inside any of the boxes. But you can ask for a sample from any box. You point to a box, and you get a fruit from that box. What is the minimum number of samples you need to label all of the boxes correctly? Answer wisely because this problem has been asked during job interviews! Can you figure it out? Watch the video for the solution. *Small correction: at 4:22: row 3, column 3 should read "apples and oranges."

How can you simulate any probability from a fair coin? What if you had an unfair coin? This is a great problem from the the Putnam Exam, which has legendary difficulty: the average (median) score is usually 1 out of a possible 120 points. No calculators allowed though, and you have to prove everything very carefully. My blog post for this video http://wp.me/p6aMk-50o Thanks to all patrons!

An evil warden holds you prisoner, but offers you a chance to earn your freedom. You are given 101 coins, of which 51 are genuine and 50 are counterfeit. Each genuine coin is identical. And each counterfeit coin is identical to a genuine coin, except that it differs in weight by exactly 1 gram (all are lighter or all are heavier, only the warden knows). The warden gives you a randomly selected coin from the 101 coins. You have to guess whether it is genuine or counterfeit. If you are incorrect, you are imprisoned forever. If you are correct, you are set free. You are given a weighing balance that displays the difference in weight between its left and right pans (for example, if the left pan has 8.3 grams and right pan has 10.3 grams, the display would show -2 grams). You can weigh any of the 101 coins, but you only get to use the weighing balance once before you have to guess. What is your best strategy to identify your coin and escape the prison? Watch the video for a solution.

A statistician keeps a simple wardrobe. He only purchases pairs of black socks and white socks, and he keeps all of the socks in a pile in the drawer. Recently one of the socks was lost in the laundry. The socks have a mathematical property. If you select two socks at random from the drawer, the socks will match in color exactly 50% of the time. The statistician owns more than 200 socks but less than 250 socks, and there are more black socks than white socks. How many socks of each color are there? And which color sock was lost in the laundry?

A servant has a method to steal wine. He removes 3 cups from a barrel of wine and replaces it with 3 cups of water. The next day he wants more wine, so he does the same thing: he removes 3 cups from the same barrel (now with diluted wine) and replaces it with 3 cups of water. The following day he repeats this one more time, so he has drawn 3 times from the same barrel and has poured back 9 cups of water. At this point the barrel is 50% wine and 50% water. How many cups of wine were originally in the barrel? Watch the video for a solution. *At 4:04 I misspoke. It should be "x minus 9" rather than the spoken words "9 minus x."

This problem has been shared millions of times on Twitter/Facebook with the claim "99% fail" to solve it and that only a genius could find the correct answer. If 9 = 72, 8 = 56, 7 = 42, 6 = 30, 5 = 20, then 3 = ? In this video I explain what many people believe to be the correct answer. I also show how this answer is logical for other patterns seen in the puzzle.

This problem has been asked in job interviews. On the morning of January 1, a hospital nursery has 3 boys and some number of girls. That night, a woman gives birth to a child, and the child is placed in the nursery. On January 2, a statistician conducts a survey and selects a child at random from the nursery (including the newborn and every child from January 1). The child is a boy. What is the probability the child born on January 1 was a boy? There are a couple of neat counter-intuitive parts of this problem. Can you figure it out? Watch the video for a solution.

I couldn't believe the answer when I solved this one! Start with a unit square (a rectangle with both sides equal to 1, call it R1). Attach a rectangle of area 1 to its right side, then attach a rectangle of area 1 to its top. The border of this new shape is another rectangle, call it R2. We can repeat the process with R2 to create a new rectangle R3, and then repeat again, and so on. What is the ratio of the length to the width of Rn, as n goes to infinity? The answer is surprising!

"If Sue runs around the track twice, and John runs around the track four times more than Sue, how many times does John run around the track?" This problem was given to 3rd graders. A parent disagreed with the answer the teacher was marking. After it was posted online, people said both were wrong: the correct answer was a third number! So what is the correct answer? In this video I explain the correct answer and the three interpretations.
