After a massive storm tears through the Hex Archipelago, you find five grizzled survivors in the water. As an act of gratitude for saving them, they reveal a secret - the island they were just on holds some buried treasure. But when the sailors try to describe the island, something seems off. Can you find the booty despite their strange instructions? Daniel Griller shows how.

    The reason to leave mutineers bound on an island is to leave them to die slowly. Therefore, if you believe they will be dead soon, then you will have macabre warning signs to ward off others before long, making your buried treasure even safer.

    I feel there's a few issues with this one: One: There is no actual answer, because we aren't exactly given some kind of goal. We have to make one up. Two: Between animation and description, it originally seemed like they were tied down, and so if one was on the outside and unable to turn around, he would have only been able to see 2 trees.

    @X-Ray Crystallography My problem was less the pirates being shown tied to trees (although that threw me slightly at first), but more the fact that even when a tree is directly behind another tree, you can still see parts of that other tree at minimum - leaves, branches, etc. Also, assuming these are palm trees, not only would the leaves be incredibly easier to see sticking out from behind the trunk of the closer tree, but each tree has a curvature, which would cause the trees themselves to be visible from behind for at least some of the pirates. For this riddle to work correctly, it needs to be explicitly clear as one of the parameters that when a tree is directly in line with another tree, it is in no way visible - even its leaves. Without this piece of information, the riddle really isn't solvable since it's not a logical assumption based on reality and perspective. (I'm not saying I disbelieve you solved the riddle - it just means you made the assumption regarding the trees that I didn't, and it's not necessarily a logical assumption to make.)

    You guys made a HUGE mistake. You said the pirates were tied down, and then said the only thing on the island was trees. That means all the pirates were tied to trees. A pirate not tied to a tree could just wiggle around the island as he wished. Then compounded this problem by showing the pirates tied to trees in the animation. I wondered why this riddle was unsolvable. I realized early on that the pirate that saw only 2 trees had to have his view overlapped by the other trees. But if he in turn is not tied to a tree, he is not tied down.

    Hold on..... the illustration of the pirates being tied up to a tree would be confusing because it would mean that the person that sees 2 trees would actually see 1 tree and they are bound to another tree making the riddle impossible. I get what is being projected in the end but it would be much better if an illustration of them tied up under the sand is illustrated. Anyways, good riddle just contradicting illustrations.

    We can probably assume that should any pirate be tied up _to_ a tree they would be able to see that tree in addition to any others they can spy from their vantage point. So the solution actually still holds.

  • @Gukslaven

    @Gukslaven

    6 жыл бұрын

    Stratelier I don't think so: using the solution at 3:37, every pirate needs to be at a specific place, and none of them are tied to a tree.

  • @Stratelier

    @Stratelier

    6 жыл бұрын

    Using the example shown at @3:24 it is easy to find locations where a pirate could be tied up against a tree and see only 3,4,5,6 trees (including the one he's tied to). For example, a pirate tied to the southern side of the lower tree along the left 'line' can only see five trees, while a pirate tied to the western edge of the left tree along the bottom 'line' can only see three. As for the pirate who can only see two trees, again this requires that the six trees must form two intersecting lines, but if he were tied up to one of the trees in question this would simply mean that his tree is located approximately at the intersect point too. So for the example around @3:35, imagine taking the 'two' pirate and tying him to the south side of the tree along his left line, while the three trees on the other line are in a different arrangement such that he is collinear with all of them (and thus only sees one). The solution isn't about finding an exact layout of trees on a given island, but to figure out a generic property that can be used to rule out islands that _aren't_ the one we're looking for. And yes, this isn't the obvious connotation of how the original question was phrased.

  • @Gukslaven

    Stratelier Very good explanation - though I did consider that a pirate might not be able to see behind him when tied, however at the pause screen (1:23) they say "they could look all around" which to me meant a 360 degree view, which I can imagine if the tree is thin. Anyway, I would agree it is a good problem if they updated the pause screen with "but cannot see behind himself".

And this one was also the first one I actually solved. Altough I tried to do it in my head and couldn't really imagine how the pirates could be placed so that they would only see 3, 4 or 5 trees. I came up with the 2 line solution nonetheless.

    Here's another solution assuming that the pirates are tied to the trees: the 6 trees are situated in a slight arc pattern, and the pirates are tied to the trees so they're facing slightly toward the outside of the arc. Thus the pirates can only see the trees in front of them and the tree that they're tied to (they can look up and see the tree). They can't see the trees behind them because of the angle that they're facing and the tree they're tied to blocks their view.

    Sorry for the translator. Is it me or the final answer simply can't be true. As we see in the beginning and learn from the conditions THEY are TIED and CAN'T MOVE. This implies that they are tied to something, but nothing except trees on this island, NO!!! Now let's look at the island, which was shown as an answer. All 5 pirates are located far from the trees, it turns out that they do not interfere with the move, and this contradicts the conditions.

    A tree doesn't have the exact same shape as a different tree, you could still see two trees even if they were on the same line of sight. Even if hypothetically all trees had identical shape (and even if you ignored the wind and the fact that the pirates can just slightly move their necks), it still wouldn't work since it would only make it seem like one tree from one line of sight, it would still look like multiple trees from other POVs. Also if they weren't tied to the trees and there's nothing else on the island, were they just tied down to sand?

    But it said they were tied to trees. So if a pirate saw 6 trees, they probably wouldn't count the one they're tied to unless if their front perspective, could only see at most 5 trees in front of them. So, technically, that island where you found the treasure, the crew would have to be tied up to something else. So the crew would have to be lying. But if they lied about that, they could lie about giving you the treasure. And now I'm criticizing the logic of Ted-Ed videos. What has my life come to?
