I thought it was build a boat 💔 🥀 😭 ⛴️
Comment from : @SamCheng-e9y

Bro just said no bribery in point 6 but still proceeds to bribe
Comment from : @poor-spidey

Ayy yes, divvying up the booty
Comment from : @tylerhitz

I remember watching this this summer struggling and not remembering the solution solving this in less than a minute now, but it's probably because I remembered that you have to take into account all the perspectives

1 Ask if you have green eyesbr2 Steal the coins and leave
Comment from : @frostguyfordcs

Wait the one making the plan gets a vote too? Why would they just not vote Nay and live?
Comment from : @taker68

Can A B and C not just split the gold between each other and give the other two zero? I’d imagine that should get yay’s from 3 and Nay’s for 2
Comment from : @kenyattafrazier

ILL GIVE EVERYONE 20
Comment from : @TolaniAdebiyi

I had giving Daniel and Eliza one coin each The reasoning being that Daniel would know Charlotte's strategy if it came to him, Charlotte, and Eliza, and that this would be his only chance to get something I believe any combination of two other pirates that didn't include Bart would work

4:28 the way I was like “He said the thing” when he said game theory 😭✌️
Comment from : @The_Mixers

Why would you care about logical arguements when there is gold on the line and you're armed - also you're a pirate - which means logically you already don't care about the law of man brbrThere is no logic in this logic puzzle - assume you can't argue you're way out of being robbed and killed
Comment from : @PunyalAssessor-s8z

damn My solution was 94 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3
Comment from : @Brenden-Harrison

Not watching the end Too long My guess is 32 for captain 33 for two random crew mates each 0 for others
Comment from : @DavidWhite-x3o2v

The outcome changes in an interesting manner if a drawn vote means its rejection instead of its acceptance 😉 Try it!
Comment from : @puolustajanpolku

If they're so good with logic, they wouldn't kill their crew members, or captain
Comment from : @TBBTBR

everyone could get an equal 20 pieces thats logical to me
Comment from : @KiDYOSKi

Paretto optimality He gets 5, so on
Comment from : @MisterJax

This has been debunked in real field experiments, people hate trickery and dishonesty, if he tried it, they would vote no The sad part is it doesn't play out in real life, like recent US elections and Brexit
Comment from : @wzywg

I got it right in 4 minutes, skipping to the end and watching my answer be correct felt awesome
Comment from : @Julian-zr8df

I’m gonna be king of the pirates !
Comment from : @skoutloxandvundamirgaming5250

In a real situation this would never be how the logic works out nothing is just as good as 1 gold coin depending on underlying logic potentially better and people have to live with eachother after etc etc etc These oversimplified game theory models do not help predict real world interactions effectively
Comment from : @ClintGoolsby

Disagree completely
Comment from : @JavierMartinezUy

I would take 60 and let them split the other 40
Comment from : @m31vin

WOW! Just like how big business operates Give the workers just enough so they have to be loyal to the company making the owner richer
Comment from : @leeames9063

This is interesting
Comment from : @renlamomtsopoe

What if in case of a tie, the captain was ejected ?brEDIT : If think the plan would be 94,0,1,3,2 but I'm not sure x)
Comment from : @noxious_206

But if they are blood thirsty and would will kill for fun Eliza would vote against Amaro because there is another scenario in which she will get one coin
Comment from : @Regulardude83

Let's be real, we all thought about One Piece
Comment from : @Bibburat

yeah that would never happen Could you imagine Amaro trying to explain his logic as they walked hi down the plank Great way to die being right
Comment from : @youngflymista

I think the solution is wrong, because Elisa has no reason to accept the captain's proposal, as she gets the same 1 piece of gold as with Charlotte's proposal brAnd by being bloodthirsty, it means the captain is deadbrTherefore the captain can only keep 97 gold, and has to give 2 pieces of gold to Elisa, while giving 1 gold to Charlotte
Comment from : @fixipszikon6670

OK, tried it for myself I got a proposal ofbrA: 98brB: 0brC: 1brD: 0brE: 1
Comment from : @TakesTwoToTango

One problem The code is more what ya'd call guidelines than actual rules
Comment from : @philosphorus9442

If they are so smart, they know in advance that noone, except Amaro, gets any booty worth the effort
Comment from : @teramalik7260

That's obviously the wrong outcome 😊brThe pirates, knowing all of this, deduce, that all the other pirates will vote down any proposal, which gives them less than their average share in the first round So the first pirate will have to offer equal shares to survive
Comment from : @MrX-nv8kp

A ninja stole all the coins
Comment from : @spekenbonen72

I managed to solve the riddle - sort of - I got the reasoning down perfect but for some reason my mind was working in 10 gold instead of 1 so I gave 10 to C and E and A kept 80
Comment from : @Broda-k1p

A 40brB 30brC 30brThe other two 0brMajority
Comment from : @carolinewhite9678

a bit too easy, make it harder next time
Comment from : @AykutKutlu-f9b

Pirates sign a contract for a specific share each
Comment from : @Jack-fs2im

My answer is captain himself: 97 coins, 2nd: 0 coin, 3rd: 1 coin, 4th: 1 coin, 5th: 1 coin
Comment from : @Agirmetal

imagine luffy, zoro, nami, usopp and sanji on that ship
Comment from : @notion7985

Is Eliza single

내쉬 균형은 어떤 상황에서 실제로 적용할 수 있을까?br일단 문제의 예시 같은 경우에도 저 따위로 분배하면 선장이 암살당하거나 최소한 지도력을 잃게 될 것이 분명해서 적용하기 어려워보이는데

Nah if they're perfect logicians they'd realize taking 99 will lead to mutinybrTry again

Comment from : @Thedoctor-m8b

Feel like this was nonsense
Comment from : @davidk2096

Amaro proposes he gets 98 coins Bart and Charlotte get two each He should get 3/5 votes, a majority B and C vote for it because they get a coin and stay alive D and E vote no but they are in the minority
Comment from : @michaelmcglothlin366

I got asked this question at a software development interview I realized it was a critical thinking and logics question, but they spent way too much time on it and asked hardly anything about actual development I realized halfway through the interview I wasn't going to take an offer if they made one
Comment from : @BloodWolf2005

Or maybe Amaro getting 90, Bart getting 4, Charlotte getting 3, Daniel getting 2, and Eliza getting 1!
Comment from : @aliciasematore4285

Got it Noice
Comment from : @timnewton-howes5206

98-0-1-0-1brHe just needs 2 logical thinking pirates to vote with him
Comment from : @anIndi28

I haven't finished the video yet, but there's five pirates so how can an odd number of votes result in a tie?
Comment from : @Regoriroger

I would rather get nothing than just 1 gold from a whole 100
Comment from : @ghimiresamip96

bruh just make it so everyone gets 25 coins each
Comment from : @gg-96

First thing I see are the trailing flags as though the ship were motorized rather than being pushed by wind in the sails The flags should be blowing forward WITH the wind
Comment from : @Harpadzo

D has more power tho if he was offered 1 gold he could refuse safely asking for more, if he didn't get it he wouldn't walk the plank if he did get it he would get more, now if the others voted yes he would iether end up with 1 or nothing assuming they didn't offer more to pay for his votebrbrD's best option is not to vote yes to a low offer from the captainbrbrthis is not really a true Nash equilibrium case as theres a hierarchy, not all the people under the captain are equalbrbrin simple terms its not every man for them selves you gotta do whats good for yourself and the group
Comment from : @woodchup

God loves you ❤️
Comment from : @Sophia-k1l7q

wait am i becoming smarter
Comment from : @notrhythm

If you vote no to my proposal, you get 0 coins, if my proposal passes we get 20 each equally it binds the pirates to their no vote ensuring nobody will vote no
Comment from : @katpk5538

Pass captain position,and nah till left alone😂
Comment from : @brokensoul2446

Ozo
Comment from : @nceAKAEgo

The example showed that Eliza could vote nay and make Daniel walk the plank but the answer shows that she can't These "riddles" are progressively dumber Stop trying to make up your own riddles that don't make any sense
Comment from : @pearljones5388

First successful attempt I love riddles !
Comment from : @theRealYamamotoYoshinobu

Eliza has another think coming if she thinks she can shove Daniel off the plank by herself
Comment from : @KairuHakubi

4:12 - Well that's bribery - vote ''Yarr for 1 coin" or you diethis is against the rules of the riddle as stipulated in point 6
Comment from : @meta4282

Even if the pirates had some cooperation among them this could’ve turned out in a completely different way
Comment from : @sharannagarajan4089

They should use the money for investing since they are so smart
Comment from : @fs2t21linkaiwingp3

If I wasn’t greedy I’d prolly offer 33 to charlotte and eliza and 34 for myself
Comment from : @mailingcat

One question, what if the first decider only give the fifth person 1 coin, the third one will accept it cuz otherwise she will be dead
Comment from : @pie9007

So informative and clear
Comment from : @KristineJohansen-p4n

Funny thing about the Nash equilibrium, it only really safely assumes everyone will be logical in single round gamesbrbrIn multiple round games, all it takes is someone doing something illogical to derail itbrbrKinda remembered because of Alice in Borderland To reframe the specific challenge in this riddle's setting, let's say all five vote to keep 0-100 coins each round, the one closest to 4/5ths the median of the total of all votes gets that much The voting will start reasonable and eventually, by logic, reach 0s and 1s to maximize opposing losses since they can't win But what if someone votes 100? Logically, that's the worst possible choice, but it ensures the others now will not know what you're going to do since you just did that

Comment from : @thang-c9y

Always top quality from you
Comment from : @HarlezSavis

The crazy thing is that these pirates are always perfectly logical, are on the seas, and have neither a contract nor are they willing to break the rules when it goes sourly against them brbrHistorically, they did both A standard Pirate contract was actually pretty generous for the time With the captain getting a double share of the treasure and the quartermaster getting a one and a half share, while all the crew got a single share This is compared to Royal ships, with a crew was pay the standard wage which was pretty low And pirate captains were routinely overturned either by vote or sword if they tried to pull any shenanigans brbrSo if the pirate Captain did propose such an insulting offer, the result will likely be the other four killing him and splitting it evenly
