    how this works:
    imagine you mark each square with a number. 1 being the top right, 2 being the top middle, 3 being the top left, and so on. When you are on an odd-numbered space, moving an even number of spaces guarantees you're still on an odd numbered space, and moving an odd number of spaces puts you on an even space. so moving an even number of spaces will keep whether it's an odd or even space, and moving an odd number of spaces will switch it from odd to even and vice versa. Therefore, as long as they can keep track of whether you're on an odd or even space, they can always safely remove one from the opposite guaranteeing you won't be on that space. From there it's just a matter of making sure all the remaining squares stay connected.

      It's impossible landing on any other card when following the instructions. Every turn he counts to a different number, sometimes you have five moves, sometimes three and so on, because he knows that this exact number of moves makes it impossible to land on a specific card.
      And this card is then removed :D

    If anyone is curious on why this works, it's to do with even and odd numbers. If you replay the video and try to fail the test, you literally cant, because to get to a place that he will remove, you would need either an even or odd number of turns. if its even, then he will count to an odd number of turns, and if its odd, then he will count to an even number of terms.

    @frangoassado2236 Před měsícem +6

    i think i have understood the trick, it can be shown in maths.
    his number of moves are 1,7,3,7,5,7,9
    how find a route to each card from the start card, count the steps you move, and see if the number of moves for each card is odd or even (write it on the back), you should now get a checker map like this: (E for Even, O for odd, and start point can be set in any of the E card.)
    EOE
    OEO
    EOE
    now every time count ODD number of paths (odd adds up will make an even number, so the accumulated moves will be something like odd- even- odd- even.... until the end of the game.)
    when you say 1 move for the first action, you moved the finger away from an E card and since diagonal is not a valid move, the only options are the O cards, your finger will be moved to an O card regardless which of them you're on.
    and now you take away any E card, and it's mathematically impossible to be the one chosen by the guy.
    now count any odd number of moves and the total accumulated moves will become an EVEN number, meaning that the finger is now on one of the E card again, with the same magic, you can take away any O card and it won't be the one.
    and you can repeat the same steps until all the cards are taken down but one left, as long as you keep the pieces connected and walkable to other cards.
    now with this knowledge you should be able to make a much bigger EOE card matrix and place your start card on any E card you desire.
    and it will never fail.
    steps simplified:
    (Start card on any E spot)
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any O spot.
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any E spot.
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any O spot.
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any E spot.
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any O spot.
    count and walk an odd number of moves, then take away a marginal card in any E spot.
    until forever.

    this works because the specific square you're on doesn't matter, just its parity
    if you label all the corner squares and the center square as "odd" and the edge squares as "even", each move you make, you're going from odd to even or even to odd
    so really, only the number of moves matters
    if it's an even number of moves, you're on the same parity as you were before, and if it's odd, you're on the opposite parity

    This isn't about predictability, it's about numbers. Notice he always stops on an odd number. The one he takes away would always require you to take an even number of moves from the one you were on last time he stopped. The symbols are irrelevant. He just boxes you in by removing the ones an even number from the last stop until you only have one option.

    Breakdown of this trick:
    Everytime the counting was different, either 7 or 5 or 6 etc.
    Knowing our initial position, and the fact that we cant move diagonally, he said the numbers in a way that no matter which way you go , which boxes you repeat , your finger won't be on the box he is going to remove.
    Try it yourself , for the first move , you have 7 steps to go , starting from either of 2 initial boxes, in 7 steps no matter which way you try , you won't land on the "House" in the last step.

  • @bulbazaurrex1898
    @bulbazaurrex1898 Před měsícem +1

    Proof that it’s not magic:
    Let’s imagine the stickers as a matrix, where instead of symbols we assign every sticker a number (a 0 or a 1) in a way that every 1 is vertically and diagonally connected only to 0s and vice versa. Thus we get such matrix:
    1 0 1
    0 1 0
    1 0 1
    Notice, that it is impossible to move from 0 to 0 and from 1 to 1. Thus, with every move, we will be switching from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. Knowing that we start from a 1 (in the top right corner), we can predict that after the first move, we will be on a 0, after a second - on 1, after a third - on 0 and etc. We can turn this observation into a rule by stating that after every uneven move, we will be on a 0 and after an even, on a 1. Now, if we remove a sticker with a number 0 after an even move (when we are on a 1) and a 1 after an uneven move (when we are on a 0), we are guaranteed that it won’t be the one the player is currently at. The author employs this strategy in order to lead us to the last sticker which he easily guesses as there are no other ones available.
    If you wanted to expand this trick, you can create an even bigger matrix of stickers like this, and the rule would still work:
    1 0 1 0 1
    0 1 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1
    0 1 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1
    However, it is important to remember to remove only the numbers from the sides of the matrix, starting with the corners as it is possible for the player to get stuck mid-way in a big one in a situation like this (the player’s number is in brackets and * are numbers that have been removed):
    1 (0) * 0 1
    * * 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1
    0 1 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1
    ->
    (1) * * 0 1
    * * 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1
    0 1 0 1 0
    1 0 1 0 1

    Judging by the comment section, the actual topic of the video must be: “How good are you at following simple instructions?”

      It's not prediction, it's just math, so far as you follow the rules results are guaranteed
