Funny how he just casually throws in that you can also use this for a scam
Comment from : @claudioestevez1028

Can someone explain this in formulas I need to solve this for my math problem in algebra😂
Comment from : @takoyakidelicious2544

I just adore your energy and enthusiasm! Happy Christmas to you x
Comment from : @TimelordUK

Great guy
Comment from : @claudiocampanella2429

Yes Finally i get it
Comment from : @MrK1ckAsss

What maths principle is working behind this?
Comment from : @hameedkhan4320

What if there were originally 6 white pieces and not five?
Comment from : @With_Victor_B

What if both piles already have same number of whites? I say even number of coins is better
Comment from : @awawpogi3036

simple and clever awesome!!!!
Comment from : @iseslc

It doesnt work! Kom on, I won't explain why That was stupid!
Comment from : @ameersk3223

What if you dropped the coins and ended up with 6 white, 5 blackand you happened to pick 5 of the white out of the stock and end up flipping them? Or what if they were all black in the drop?
Comment from : @sabriath

You are amazing!!!br
Comment from : @chandnibhudia624

kinda stupid if you ask me (the solution i mean)
Comment from : @Papalotis97

It always works as long as not all the coins/stones have the same side up
Comment from : @fridrik6

By "he" I meant the person in the video (I should know his name, but its just gone) And its only now that I realise that you're comment is 7 months old, so I'm sorry for bothering you
Comment from : @jimbo11235813

He started with 11 coins, 5 white and 6 black
Comment from : @jimbo11235813

I wonder if you could do a similar trick with dice???
Comment from : @JarHead54321

Thanks interestingTaking math right now in college
Comment from : @vrendus522

I like how you exchanged some of the white pieces for black pieces when you could just flip them over
Comment from : @zxjuifothrui

eloquent
Comment from : @musikSkool

If this still isn't making sense to you, take 3 minutes to rewatch the video and carefully listen to the instructions You are not doing what he said in the video let's try every possible thing that can happen
Comment from : @hhnfaa16

Ok you're clearly not understanding the instructions On the first one, have one white, so you should remove one coin and flip ONLY that coin You, on the other hand, are flipping two coins It should be either CCO__C CO___O CO or CCO__CC O___CC C both of which are correct
Comment from : @hhnfaa16

No, it's not that I don't have an open mind, it's that you're wrong Let me diagram it properly (first pile before removal) (first pile after removal) (second pile) CCO__O__OO 0 and 0: CORRECT CCO__C__OC 1 and 1: CORRECT COO__CO_C 1 and 1: CORRECT COO__OO_O 0 and 0: CORRECT
Comment from : @hhnfaa16

If you took two black coins, that means there were two white coins in the original pile, so you'd have two in each pile Still works It works for any number of coins, every time
Comment from : @hhnfaa16

Im confused I can't tell the difference between white and black heads with my eyes shut,
Comment from : @asconblake

30 is more than KESt! (Our counterpart to CGT)
Comment from : @TheTornado121

The directions are not misleading Quite simply, the rules of the game do not prohibit flipping the pieces The real trick to this puzzle is that people will often subconsciously assume other rules exist, even when there is no logic to support such assumptions These assumptions are probably based on the individual experiences and bias of each person Basically, you may have assumed that you could not flip the pieces, however no part of the directions said you could not flip the pieces I
Comment from : @drebk

used as a scam!
Comment from : @ThomasKGould

yeah, it only works for any even number of coins he forgot to mention that
Comment from : @tom01495

You know how people get songs stuck in their heads? Well I've got his "Hello Everyone!" stuck in my head!
Comment from : @jeremiahmacdonald9414

And also, if that happens, your trick doesn't work, I just noticed!
Comment from : @wre0618

I had seven coins, and on my second scramble all of them were showing heads What's the probability of that? :)
Comment from : @wre0618

This shit is off the chain!
Comment from : @Biscuits7531

@singingbanana except there are much more nerve cells in the head
Comment from : @livedandletdie

It would have been really funny if you told us you couldn't do it with your eyes shut and just ended it there
Comment from : @markknapp8955

This is brilliant!! :D
Comment from : @victoriscool1

Great trick, but wrong solution, or misleading directions: "Can you separate the pile into two piles" doesn't allow flipping them This way putting coins out of my pocket would also be a solution
Comment from : @retepaskab

@singingbanana Maybe watrick144 was asking if you could still get the same number of heads in each pile (as initially requested) when given the number tails from some random pile [For example, you see that your black faced coins did not match up (except for the trivial example)] If you don't know the size of the pile, this does make it a slightly different problem However, it would still be solvable with the same algorithm used in this video (after a simple added step at the beginning)
Comment from : @Cosmicextry

@anticorncob6 Ok, so there should be an addendum "For any finite number of coins"
Comment from : @cardiganmimi

Let's say we're told "there are 5 millions dollars and 5 millions euros in a pile in front of us We can flip them or we can do whatever we want to them and we are to separate it in 2 piles so there'll be the same amount of $ in each" I would be expected to have the same amount of dollars at the end after the *separation* But well, no There could be 2M $ at the end and 3M vanished into my pocket :) I might try this trick with my bank or a mafia gang ^_^
Comment from : @Horinius

I don't know for the others, but I found your question (given in this video, in the previous video or in the description) was asked in an ambiguous and misleading way Maybe you did so intentionally so that even intelligent guys can't answer your question? :) I mean, I would expect the number of heads/whites to be conserved
Comment from : @Horinius

You are truly a genius
Comment from : @xXxtaureanxXx

@BeybladerForLife If you flip them all at once you can!
Comment from : @anticorncob6

What if all of the coins turned out black?
Comment from : @yehonataniiii

What if in a hypothetical situation you have 11 coins, they're all heads would this method still work?
Comment from : @Montero201414

3 people don't understand the trick
Comment from : @xramzulx

1 Remember which ones are black 2 Close eyes 3 Flip all of the coins you remembered to the other side 4 Feel how many coins are on the table (should be an even number) 5 If you have 10, put 5 pieces on each side (8-4, 4-2, 2-1, you're not stupid) 6 Open eyes Ta-da!
Comment from : @Left4Rage

the second robot wil travel 666 miles the first travel 333 when the meet let me know if im correct
Comment from : @miketheman1393

@singingbanana i find getting head very special
Comment from : @guapito1093

@miketheman1393 Here's one that's even harder Suppose a robot is walking When x seconds go by, he is walking x miles per hour Another robot is a mile away facing the first robot When x seconds go by, it is walking 2x miles per hour When will the robots meet?
Comment from : @anticorncob6

what if by some strange chance, all the coins are heads? taking all the coins and flipping them so that there are no heads in either pile isn't really smart
Comment from : @ReubenSammut

@Error081688 I love the Salem Witches puzzle People may like to dig further back into my videos to find it, it was a puzzle me and my friend Colin made up And I hope this bump in the comments helps you get more subscribers, it was Tom here that gave me the puzzle, and I love it
Comment from : @singingbanana

@TyYann Thanks Yann, tried to explain it without the equations If people liked this you should check out Yann's channel for more of this sort of thing
Comment from : @singingbanana

@watrick144 Yup, there's nothing special about heads
Comment from : @singingbanana

would this work with tails instead of heads?
Comment from : @watrick144

Well said, Doc Jim I talked to a legendary maths professor at my university today for the first time, and I posed the Salem Witch Trials puzzle to him He figured it out fairly quickly, but he really liked it :) Also, I've gotten 6 new subscribers just from the shout out in the description :D
Comment from : @Error081688

Really clever!
Comment from : @RocamboleBlue

Great explanation!
Comment from : @TyYann

Mr Grime would be a cool Maths teacher
Comment from : @P4C4N0W5K1

@singingbanana Oh man Hmm so far did it to 2 people, and waisted the money on a candy I guess you'll get it later ;D
Comment from : @2ndAge

@2ndAge Haha! Brilliant But I will be taking 30 of all future earnings
Comment from : @singingbanana

@MrPointless peanut butter jelly time :P
Comment from : @thepianoaddict

I'm totally fascinated by this problem! Thanks for posting it
Comment from : @GetMeThere1

i want a problem simular to ur one fly two trains
Comment from : @miketheman1393

@ffcloud19 Maths isn't just equations, but about logic and problem solving So this is maths But this can be described with a couple of equations, and I've put them in the description
Comment from : @singingbanana

@thomaste33 The puzzle is, if you are told how many heads there are can you separate them into two piles with the same number of heads in each pile, with your eyes shut
Comment from : @singingbanana

@PurpleUkuleleGuy That line was entirely for Brian :)
