I'm so happy that I got this one!! My method was different, though. The small angle is 21.03 degrees on the triangle created by the diagonal of the 13*5 rectangle, but the 8*3 triangle had a smaller angle of 20.56 degrees.

Wow: "One can't believe impossible things." What great advice lol

I was able to solve the riddle but in a different approach. Given the Queen's arrangement of the four soldiers, it would seem that a rectangle can be formed. Even if the total area of the four shapes sums up to 64 sq. units and cannot form a shape that's more or less than the mentioned area, there's been cases like the infinite chocolate bar puzzle that beg to differ. To check if the 13x5 rectangle is possible, see if the measure of the rectangle's diagonal matches with the sum of the diagonal side of the trapezoid and the hypotenuse of the triangle. If one were to look closely at the trapezoid, there is a right triangle within the trapezoid. Split the trapezoid into a 5x3 rectangle and a right triangle with legs 2 and 5. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse of the right triangle within the trapezoid, which is also the diagonal side of the trapezoid, is sqrt29. Now let's take a look at the hypotenuse of the triangles with legs 8 and 3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem once more, we get a hypotenuse of sqrt73. Now let's take a look at the diagonal of the supposed 13x5 rectangle. To get the measure of the said diagonal, we use the Pythagorean Theorem again. We get a measure of sqrt194. If the rectangle can be formed with the four soldiers, then the diagonal of the rectangle should be the same as the sum of the hypotenuse of the right triangle solder and the diagonal side of the trapezoid soldier. sqrt194 is approximately 13.928 sqrt29 + sqrt73 is approximately 13.929 Since the two values above are not equal to each other, the 13x5 rectangle cannot be formed with the four soldiers/shapes. As such, the extra square comes from the gap at the supposed diagonal of the rectangular chessboard as shown in the video.

@awfuldynne

3 жыл бұрын

I found the sum of the areas of the soldiers to determine whether I should look for a surplus or a deficit-or, equivalently, which rectangle contains the error/cheat. (of course it's a gap; overlaps are more obvious) Since the external dimensions matched the areas of the rectangles, there had to be a gap between the soldiers within the 5x13 rectangle. The lines running parallel to the sides of the rectangle will fit tightly together regardless, so the only place left for a gap-"are the large triangles really triangles?", check the slopes like Alice. 2/5 ≠ 3/8. You know how other methods of finding the solution sort of pop out once you've solved the problem? You could also compare the slopes to the 5/13 of the rectangle's diagonal.

@martinpiekarski1512

3 жыл бұрын

Yep, I did it in similar way.

“64 is the same as 65” This is beyond science.

Figured out the slopes thing right away but got stumped trying to figure out how they could possibly be covering the board anyway. Some clarification of the constraints of the question would've been nice, as I didn't think "they aren't" was a valid response.

Well put together, thank you. I needed to learn this.

Yeah, I have also noticed that combination of these diagonal lines adds some lenght. Not sure if my reasoning is right, but what I did is I used a Pitagorean theorem in to measure these diagonal lines. It won't give accurate results, but in short, a hypotenuse of 8 and 3 is a square root of 73, which is around 8,544 and a hypotenuse of 5 and 2 is a sqr of 29 which is around 5,385. When you add up these numbers, you will get ~13,93. As you can notice, it is almost 1 more than the length of the 12 which makes a base length of that second rectangle. Not exact 1, but close enough to give you some idea.

this is way too good, I love it

I got one right finally! I was literally like there is no way the slope of those are the same. There has to be some gaps in there that account for the extra square. Didn't use math, but I still count it as a win.

These riddles are always so interesting and I love how they are being presented. I admit, I couldn't solve this riddle by myself, but now I know the explanation and the Fibonacci numbers, so I'll know what to do next time)

Yay.... TEDEd is back with Riddles😘 Looking forward to see more...........

I should be coming for the riddles. I came for the art direction. God that Alice design is like perfect.

"can alice wrap her head around what's wrong before she loses it"... That made me laugh and forgot to think about the riddle 😂😂

👶🏻 KIDS are SOLVING RIDDLES 😉 LEGENDS waiting for PAUL RUDD 😁

To get the limit solution: (1) Start with a rectangle with an aspect ratio of phi^2 to 1 (2.618:1). (2) Cut the rectangle along the diagonal, so you end up with 2 congruent triangles with the same aspect ratio. (3) Lay the triangles one on top of the another and align them so they appear as one triangle. (4) On the longer side of the triangles, mark a perpendicular line at phi^-1 (0.618) of the way in. (5) Cut the triangles along the marked line. (6) Rearrange the resulting triangles and trapezoids into a square. In the limit case, you should not have any excess or missing material.

Love these lessons

FINALLY A TED ED RIDDLE I WAS ABLE TO SOLVE WITHIN THEIR TIME FRAME & BEFORE THEY EXPLAIN IT

Ted ed: Can you solve- Me: No. No, I can't

I couldn't solve the riddle but learnt something new. It's 'ch' as in 'choke', not like 'ch' as in 'school' in Fibonacci.

Beautiful artwork.

4:23 i JUST realized she's doin' tha jazz hands.

Sherlock Holmes: exists Me who manages to solve the riddle: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

Damn, didn’t know Alice had the ability to perfectly mesure the length of geometrical shapes and calculate equations straight out of her mind . Could have served purpose in the films .....

that was so fascinating !

the quote at the start fits the book "No Game No Life" so well

Well,it seems that Alice is a mathematician.

Her author was a mathematician.

this kind of hidden cut is also used on that "infinite chocolate bar" gif

never knew it could be so interesting!

I've had experience from the Mathologer. He's discussed this and goes into great detail behind this puzzle (and a couple others too) in his toroflux video

I almost gave up, but the faith of believing in science eventually let me solve this riddle. Good video👏

Nobody did this yet so here I go: Confirm to the queen that your eyes are green and get out

But Alice's eyes are blue

I love the Fibonacci sequence. Steve’s hair, Sonics head, etc

When b^2 = (a*c)-1 in the Fibonacci sequence then there's not a gap but an overlap, right? Using squared paper and terms in the Lucas sequence, I constructed a 7*7 square, then dissected and reassembled it into a 4*11 rectangle with an overlap accounting for 49-44=5 disappeared squares. With such a discrepancy there was now no chance of seeing an apparent single straight diagonal as in the vid example, but I was struck by how the background paper squares in my figure themselves underwent no distortion, but seemed to close up neatly on each other to create regular though fewer squares. Is that actually so?

"I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I used to believe six impossible things before breakfast." What is truly sad is that he used the pen name Lewis Carroll in his fictional works to disassociate them with his work in the mathematical profession. Instead, the name of Charles Dodgson has almost been lost.

This riddle reminds me of that Hershey chocolate optical illusion where you break one piece off and cut the chocolate and it looks like the same chocolate bar.

Finally figured out one of these riddles before the answer

Great! Make more Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland riddles!

Someone replied that Carol was a mad man when he wrote about his book: but I love how its problem got me so addicted. Thank you Ted ed

This is one of those situations where your math teacher will say ...... SHOW ME YOUR WORK!

I legitimately overthought this. I was thinking about the partial squares covered by the triangles, so I was towards the right area, but didn't think to check the slopes.

Great video 👍
