- The only way into the world’s most exclusive club is to solve a challenge from the Demon of Reason. Can you get into the party?
--
Once a year, thousands of logicians descend into the desert for Learning Man. At the center of that gathering is the world’s most exclusive club, where under the full moon the annual logician’s rave takes place. The entry is guarded by the Demon of Reason, and the only way in is to solve one of his dastardly challenges. Can you get into the rave? Edwin Meyer shows how.

It's confirmed! All of Ted Ed's riddles live in the same universe.
That explains why every single human being there is a flawless logician.
Either all the riddles share a universe or each artstyle is a different universe maybe?
You got a heart, IT'S CANON.
Yep. The Demon of Reasoning has his own series too in Ted Ed.
maybe multiple realms?
"Logicians wearing at least two different colors" made it sound like they were wearing multicolored masks.
Yup, thought the same...
Same. I was rather expecting some "gotchya" moment.
Worse, it made it seem that the clothes people wore (and that of course all could see) were a key part to solving. A terrible mistake by the writers.
Yup. This was terribly worded.
Yes, I was also thinking that.

So this is the green eyes riddle, just on steroids.
And the hat color riddle
It's actually more simplified, at least in my opinion, since there are more eyes that you can confirm it works.
Is it just me or this riddle sounds incredibly soothing. I rewatched it a couple of times because it is strangely relaxing.
The learning man sounds fun. Also, it’s the fallacy demon!
I was thrown by:
"Each person is wearing a mask of exactly one color"
and then:
"Logicians wearing at least 2 different colors gained entry at the fourth bell"
Yeah, got confused around that part as well.
And 4 people in red got entry first
But later he said only 3
I did 23-4-4 and concluded to 7🤦🏻♀️
@@ForteExpresso he said that a number of red people got in, and he never specifically said how many
"Each person is wearing a mask of exactly one color" =/= "There is exactly one mask of each color". You've just demonstrated the Fallacy of the Converse, assuming the reverse relation is true. The purpose of the statement was to clarify that nobody was wearing mixed-color masks. Your basic logic is clearly flawed if you fell into that simple fallacy.
@@jeconiahjoelmichaelsiregar7917 guess he isn’t going to let this guy in. After all he did make a whole video about that.

Plot twist: the demon still didnt let you in after you solved the riddle because you didnt have green eyes
You need green eyes to leave the party 😈

Demon's gestures & moments were one the highlights of this video! Animations are soooo guuudd!
Aye the demon of reason makes a comeback.
I love that character.
Only issue I have is that if the first pair don’t get their correct color by chance, it ruins the rest of the inductive reasoning order.
It says they all did it perfectly
They dont do it by chance. If you see 1 color without pair, you are the pair, bc there must be a pair
@@alex2005z however there are two examples in the first round without a pair. If you choose the wrong one, the order is ruined as now someone else will reason they are the nonexistent 3rd for the pair
@@junaidshahzad6803 you will always be able to choose the correct one. lets say in the first round you have 2 yellow and 2 green masks, with you being a green (but you dont know yet).
Now you look around and you will see 2 yellow, and one green.
deduct and you will know you are green, since each color must have at least two masks.
Hey, was this one written specifically for everyone who saw the Green Eyes riddle? Because you basically have to use the same logic as that one to determine how people are able to leave, then do a bunch of math based on that to determine how many people are left at various points.

Cant he directly say ,”you are late ma’am you can’t enter now “

I have to say, the whole "Logicians wearing at least two different colors" part was kind of confusing, since it was established that each mask only has one color. It probably could have been worded to be less ambiguous.
But bravo, TED, this was a toughie!

This is such a satisfying problem to solve, because it seems so unaproachable on the first glance, but only requires a couple of key insights to arrive at the solution.
I just realized this is just an advance version of the green eyes problem
But I was able to actually understand this Riddle. So this one is the easier one.

Let’s be very clear: the hardest part of this riddle is internalizing the idea that someone could base their own decisions on the presumption that other people act logically.
We need another episode with the demon of reason!! I love his voice actor and the animations I love them so much
Why do i love riddles so much!
This was quite an interesting riddle. Similar to previous riddles, but with the twist that you don't know before hand which colors are available. Fortunately, we have rule 5 which states that it is possible for everyone to figure out what their mask color is, which is really the key to solving this riddle. If this rule weren't included, then it would have been completely impossible. Before solving riddles I like to play around with smaller easier cases. If there was only one person, then that person had to guess the color of their mask from the whole spectrum of colors. If there were two people they could either have the same color masks or different color masks. If they were different, then it would be impossible to guess for the same reason as when you do this with a single person. So you can eliminate that possibility, which means both masks have to be the same color. This is something they can guess in the first round. So in the riddle there are four people in the first round that guess the color of their mask, which means that each person saw someone with a mask color nobody else had, which meant they were wearing that mask color too. So there were two groups of two people with the same color masks in the first round. The second round we get a single group of three people all wearing red masks. Why? Because all three saw that the other two were not leaving in the first round, meaning they both didn't see one but two red masks. And the other red mask they saw was yours. So at the end of the second round seven people left with three differently colored masks. The third round nobody leaves because everyone is seeing more than three of the same color masks for every mask color. In the fourth round five people leave for every mask color that leaves which is said to be at least two. So at least ten people leave in that round. This means that at most six people are left for the fifth round. None of those final six could have left in the fourth round, because then one person would remain for the fifth round. It is also impossible that they leave at a later round, because each round one more person leaves per mask color and in the sixth round this means seven people. So the final six people had to leave with a single mask color during the fifth round.
TLDR: 6
Me: feels smart for a moment

WHERE SMART
Yay the demon of reason is back!
One of the best puzzles I've ever seen.
There is an error in this puzzle. On the second day, when two sets realize that it's their day to go up, neither of the sets would be able to figure out which color their mask was, since there are multiple sets. They would have to say something like "I'm either blank or blank" Which is implicitly not allowed, since if it was you could walk up and say all the mask colors you saw on the first day, and say "im definitely one of these"
You’re totally right. I was just thinking that there was no way for the person with the red mask to deduce that they’re also red, because then anyone in the circlw could do that
Only one set of people realizes it on the second bell, not two. It's clearly said they were all the same color.
Let's say you're in set1, and can see all of set 2.
At the first bell, you see the two others of set 1 not going in, so you know there's at least a 3rd person or else those two would have gone in already.
Now, you would be hesitating between 1 or 2 for yourself. If you were to think you have 2, and then looked around to find a 3rd person for 1, you wouldn't find anyone, thus letting set 1 with two people only, which is proven impossible at this point. Thus you can deduce that you don't have 2. 1 is the only remaining option, so you deduce you have 1.
The riddle isn't hard when you know there are pairs. I'm not convinced it is solvable unless you're given this fact. I was stuck questioning whether the premise of the riddle is possible.
In the riddle, the logicians are able to "deduce" that there must be one other color of the same kind or it is impossible to determine what colors to choose from. Is this true?
I assumed a simplified scenario with two logicians. Each only sees one color and it is "logically possible" to determine each other's color. I concluded that this is a paradox. The only conclusion each logician can make is that the colors has to be *related in some way*. They could be the same. They could be complimentary colors. They could be inverses. How are the logicians supposed to know that the way they are related is that they're the same? If they can't, the premise of the problem doesn't work. They need more information. This creates a paradox because we are told that it is "logically possible" when it isn't.
Thank goodness he's back I love the demon of reason I need a plushie!!!!!!🥳
Glad that they are expanding the Ted-eD UNIVERSE
So corona has its entry in ted ed riddles .....
"the masks are distributed in such a way that it will eventually be possible for everyone to figure out their mask color through logic alone, and everyone is aware of this"
That's such a vague rule. And yet from that I'm supposed to deduce that there aren't any unique mask colors among the crowd. I understand that just giving away "there aren't any unique colored masks among them" would make things too obvious, but the way it's worded could mean anything. Maybe the remaining masks are arranged in such a way that you can you can safely guess your mask fits a pattern. Yeah that wouldn't ACTUALLY be logically sound, but it's not like riddles on this channel were immune to that kind of logic before.
Right, I was thinking maybe it’s like 3 people had red masks. 4 people had blue masks. 5 people had green masks. 6 people had orange masks.
I love the references to the past riddles
Yees the demon of reason! He's my favourite ted character
