Sounds like sour grapes to me. It's a great brain teaser, the question sets up the expectation that there's a correct matching set, despite the fact that all of the eggs and cups are clearly the same size. The obvious answer is the correct one, but by convincing you to think about it, you start finding wrong answers.

Yeah. There's obviously no common or mathematical correlation given the simplicity of the patterns on the eggs. Not realising this sooner is a bad look.

@@cyranodebergerac6587 "There's obviously no common or mathematical correlation" is a bold statement to make especially considering the countless incredibly complex systems in the world to just make that claim without spending an adequate amount of time analyzing it either means you're a genius or an idiot.

His mistake was assuming the author was sincere as he would be, himself loving puzzles and not having the evil capacity to harm others by toying with their faith in humanity. I feel for him and all decent people, and I wish I hadn't learned that lesson over and over again.
He trolled himself, lmao. Granted, that's probably the point of the patterns; to get over thinkers to gaslight themselves when the patterns have nothing to do with the question being asked.
Is nobody gonna mention this man's inhuman level of discipline? He's had this book his whole life and never looked at the back of the book for the answer.
same lol.. didn't think that would actually be the solution though so my second thought was that egg a goes into cup A, egg b goes into cup B and so on.. I feel like that would've been a way better "solution" while keeping it trolly, at least it would kinda challenge your perspective
I think that might be the issue. He was overthinking what the shapes on the eggs and the cups mean and how they fit together instead of taking the question at face value.

I like that little problem. Sometimes people just look for solutions to problems that don't exist, I know I do on occassion. It's nice to see something like that as it snaps me out of the problem solving funk.
Except the reader was effectively told that it *_was_* a problem.

My point is, you were *_told_* there was a problem, and couldn't imagine that you were being bamboozled.

Meanwhile at Nurnberg:
"Yes I realizd much later how wrong we were. I read a nazi pamphlet and was presented a problem that needed solution. I couldn't stop for a second in my germanic solution-oriented pathology to recognize that the real problem was in ourselves all along."
The real illusion is the friends we made along the way...
You calling my friends illusionary?

Aha!! Great book. I grew up with that on my shelf for sure!
VSauce is gonna start his villain arc thanks to that puzzle
The only thing Vsauce can’t solve is something that was never supposed to be solved at all
What makes this funnier to me... I glanced over it and realized they were all the same size 🤣
Me too. The question is actually very precise.
my first thought was "well they all fit" but then I was like "that would be too stupid" I appreciate your frustration
