    My dad showed this trick to my little brother & me when we were like 6 & 8 back in the early 80's. I think about it occasionally, but it's been YEARS since I last did. Both of my parents died young, my dad most recently in 2014. This made me smile remembering a happy childhood memory of him, so thank you for posting 😊

      I think every carpenter's son was shown this as a kid. I was probably about the same age, but in the 70's.
      Then in wood shop, the teachers would do this to try and impress the students.

    You could build this with more nails too, so long as you keep alternating evenly

    My freaking social studies teacher had us do this on the last day of school, the people in my group kept screaming because of how frustrating it was.

    • @cali7650
      @cali7650 Před rokem

      @Gabriela Nieves I somehow survived, but I swear my ears popped or did something when some other group figured it out first.

    @CorwinFound Před rokem +3

    Ran into this at a black smith stall at a fair. Earned me a glare. Looked at it, flipped the platform over, balanced it on the head of the large middle nail and then laid the other nails on top. Was told it was the "wrong right answer." lol More than one solution to a problem.

    • @sakurasfish2115
      @sakurasfish2115 Před rokem +1

      Same that's the first thing I thought about.
      The 'real' solution really impressed me though

  • @androidlogin3065
    @androidlogin3065 Před rokem +1

    The next level of that challenge is to have all the rest of nails fully over the vertical nail; very tricky solution.

      That's a meme of architects vs engineers
      Where architects balances like this while engineer use his extra creative mind and tie them all up with a rubber band to the first nail

  • @flamesnipr1213
    @flamesnipr1213 Před rokem +1

    This is exactly like if you were to take a toothpick two forks and a cup all you're doing is simple physics and it's actually really cool

  • @scriitleplays
    @scriitleplays Před rokem +3

    My brain immediately thought to flip it over and use the head of the nail as the base rather than the wooden thingy, then just lay the other nails on top. But this works too I guess 🙂

  • @Lucas_ramirez_en_Espanol

    I am so glad you nailed it

  • @Conaik

    @erreidwas Před rokem +2

    Or... if the wooden circle and the head of the 1st nail are both equally PERFECTLY flat, and the table is also completely, evenly flat...
    You could turn it upside down! Balancing on the center nail, then slowly place the other six nails on top of the wooden circle, which is balanced on top of the 1st nail... And you just did something most people won't think of.

    😁 Did this one time while in the Military when my Platoon had some "Down Time" in the Barracks and everyone was getting wasted drinking beer and playing Penny-ante Poker. I made a $10 bet with 10-to-1 odds that nobody other than me could balance the nails in less than 15-seconds; Twelve of the guys took me up on it and I staggered away a very WEALTHY drunken Sergeant while they were still wondering how I did it when they couldn't! 🤣
