      Is there an issue? It's perfectly logical to receive all information possible if it's being presented to you with no consequences. If there's no risk for receiving the additional clues, why wouldn't you take them?

    Alternate logic you can use:
    *The third clue must be important.
    *Therefore, there must be a wrong answer where the last two digits are identical.
    *The only set of factors that meets that criteria is 1, 6, 6.
    *If 1, 6, 6 is the wrong answer, there must be another set of factors with the same sum.

    How did the two others escape? The were still in the dungeon. They had no access to the hallways.
    Edit: also why did she not say the combination out loud? It clearly said if she guessed the wrong answer, or said "ANYTHING Else". Implying, with the animation as well, mind you, that she could guess, out loud the answer, and if she happened to guess wrong, or SAID ANYTHING ELSE, she would be sent back to the dungeon. Obviously the dungeon is cutoff from the hallways, because why wouldn't she just get up and go back to the hallways again?

      If you know the answer after two hints it benefits the listeners more to not ask for a third clue (It eliminates [2,2,9] and [1,6,6] instead of just [1,6,6]).

      That really depends, Bradley... If she knew the answer after the second clue, and she left right then and there, her companions would have 6 possible answers with no way to determine the right one. Since she doesn't know what the third clue is, that clue might've been exactly what they needed to narrow it down to 1 answer.

    • @Applest2oApples
      @Applest2oApples Před 7 lety

      She knew what number hallway she went through. After adding up the digits, she saw that two of them were the same, 13, while the rest were different. Since she already knew her hallway number, she could have left, if all of the sums were different. However, knowing she went through hallway 13, she didn't know which combination if 13, therefore she had to ask for a third clue. She wouldn't have needed that third clue if all of the sums were different, because she went through one hallway, and she knew which hallway it was.

    The student says this is not enough information.
    The teacher says if you add them up you get my house number.
    The student says this is still not enough information.

    I did it differently. I figured out very quickly that the combination 1-6-6 was the only way to have two equal numbers at the top and then just tried to find another code with the same sum.

  • @morganr9825
    @morganr9825 Před 2 lety +1

    I used a completely different logic and STILL somehow got it right.
    The fourth clue says that Zara used "clues 1-3 to escape", as opposed to saying "all three clues". Therefore, I determined that the hallway number was 13 due to the wording.
    Then, "the largest number must be unique" implied that the other two were identical. The only combination that satisfied all rules in that case was the one that ended up being the correct answer.
    I am still not sure how I got away with this.

  • @454ffv

    in step 1, they shoulda eliminated the codes with double digit 3rd number since the passcode only allowed for 3 digits total. So like it couldn't be 1*3*12 because that's 4 digits. Not that it mattered but still

      The puzzle never says anything about the code being limited to 3 digits.

    • @IFA1
      @IFA1 Před 7 lety +2

      +DrGerbils It doesn't have to, because it fits 1 digit per box. If it did fit 2 digits per box...how do I move on to the next digit box? Where on the keypad is the space/tab bar? If it were capable of 2 digits per box then it would be 6 digits meaning most importantly and finally where is 0? Because if it's 2 digits then there has to be a 0 in front of any number less than 10, and numbers with 0 like 10, 20,etc (Ex....A date written numerically is commonly written mm/dd/yyyy 8 digits. If today is March 3 2016 I'd have to put 03/03/2016). If it wasn't there then the number placed like for example the code 557 would then need to be typed 55, 55, 77 in order to move to the next digit place but the computer will see it as seventy-seven not seven. So no its 1 digit place per box because of the absence of 0 or some form of moving to the next box while filling in the space....sorry :p.

    1. Like others have pointed, Zara could deliberately say it wrong once she knows the answer, get her thrown back to dungeon, and you three escape at nightfall. The matter of the fact that the other two CAN escape at nightfall makes the riddle moot.
    2. On the second clue: "If Zara could enter the passcode at this point, she would." No, that's false conclusion. She might know the answer already on the second clue, but ask for the third clue anyways to help you two. Nothing says to me that this might not be the case.

    I started from the back. Zara could not find the combination of 3 numbers without 3rd hint. Which means the hallway number can be deduced by using same number for 2nd and 3rd number. Since 1st hint states that product of all 3 numbers is 36, it is easy to guess that number is 1x6x6 (none other numbers work) which means, due to 2nd hint, the hallway number is 13. Now you can get correct numbers. The answer is 2x2x9. :)
