    Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. You may know me from my TV show Big Trick Energy (truTV, HBOmax, Netflix). Watch here for hilarious, ridiculous, and unfiltered ideas with magic, stunts, and pranks. Either I'm the funniest magician who is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is the best at magic? Either way you get the idea. I tour all over doing colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian from Vancouver, based out of Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet. Wes Barker also hosts a podcast with Chris Ramsay called Bottom Of The Barrel. Go check it out!

      Eric, you were on the right path for another solution with the liquid one when you said “what about the overflow?” If you fill the 500ml once to 300, then again to 500, you’ll have 100ml left in the small cup. Then empty the 500ml cup. Dump the 100 in the big cup, fill the 300 and then dump that 300 into the big cup. 400

    Lol, loved this episode the 3gal/5gal or 300ml/500ml thing also has a second solution. Fill up the 3, dump it into the 5 , fill the 3 again, again dump it into the 5 making the 5 gal full and leaving 1 gal in the 3 gal bucket, dump the 5 completely. Then put the 1 from the 3 gal bucket into the 5, fill the 3 one final time and then dump it into the 5 for 4 gallons..

      You can also do what Chris did and get 200, then fill the 500 and dump the 100 into the 300, filling it leaves 400.

    The first straw solution is correct. The second solution is iffy - in theory, the blue and red straws are at a slight angle and might not touch the pink and green straws.
    Alternate solutions to the 400ml puzzle: Fill the 300 and pour into the 500. Fill the 300 again and pour 200 into the 500, leaving 100ml. Empty out the 500 and pour in 100ml from the 300. Fill the 300 and pour into the 500, making 400ml.

      @@virtualmartini Take your own advice, try it yourself, he is correct, the second solution doesn't work. You can't lay one pencil on top of two so that it's touching both of them and the other end is touching the table at the same time, unless you bend them.

    On scientific american in the 60es they published a solution for SEVEN instead of SIX cigarettes. 6 were arranged in a sort of flower, 7th would be at center vertically. This also gave an extra solution to the SIX cigarettes riddle which was already well known back then, with one of the two solutions showed here.

    I don't have pencils here, but I'm sure, the 2-2-2 shape is not solving it at 3:38. It seems like it is, but there is a tiny gap between blue and green pencils. They all have to be on parallel planes for them all to touch. 3-3 solution seems to be legit though.

    You could also:
    - Pour 300 from the small glass into the big one
    - Refill the small one and pour only 200 to completely fill the big one. Now the small one contains only 100.
    - Empty the big one, pour the 100 from the small one into the big one.
    - Refill the small one and pour the whole 300 on the big one. The big one now contains 400.

    1. Fill 300 and pour into 500.
    2. Fill 300 again, pour to fill 500 and stop with 100 left in 300.
    3. Empty 500. Dump 100 in 500.
    4. Fill 300 and pour into 500.

    Cup one. Fill the 300, dump into the 500, then fill the 300 again, dump into the 500 until that is full. You have 100 left in the 300 cup, so dump out all the water in the 500, dump the 100 into the 500, then fill the 300 and dump it into the 500. You have 400 at that point.

    • @SlowmovingGiant
      @SlowmovingGiant Před rokem

      Yup and by filling each past halfway then slowly pouring out on an angle you can get a fairly accurate measurement when the water is even / a straight line from the base opposite to the rim where the water is being poured out

    fill cup A with water. pour water into cup B. fill up cup a again and pour the rest into cup B leaving 100 ml in the cup... empty cup B and pour the remainder of cup A into it. then simply fill cup A again and pour it in giving you 400 ml.
