Can you solve the locker riddle? - Lisa Winer
View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-sol...
Your rich, eccentric uncle just passed away, and you and your 99 nasty relatives have been invited to the reading of his will. He wanted to leave all of his money to you, but he knew that if he did, your relatives would pester you forever. Can you solve the riddle he left for you and get the inheritance? Lisa Winer shows how.

They can't pester her for money because the inheritance was just a pile of big rocks.
I thought the whole point in the uncle Developing the riddle is to prevent family members from badgering you. Now not only will they badger you, they’ll hate you for being smarter than them

I thought they'd pester because him leaving it all to you wasn't fair (at least to them). But if you earned it by figuring out the riddle, they'd just have to shut up and deal with it.

I figured this helped by giving them less of a legal leg to stand on. If you straight up leave someone out of the will, they can contest that they were forgotten about. This gives everyone an even shot at the prize and the niece has a lot more legal protection after having solved it fair and square. I've heard people recommend that, if there's someone in your circle you want to leave out of your will but you know would kick up a fuss, just leave them something pitiful like $1. It serves the same purpose of removing that "I was forgotten" argument.

Step 1: check if you have green eyes Step 2: ask everyone to ignore you when you get the fortune
My roundabout way of doing it was trying the first ten squares for the first ten numbers, realizing the pattern was 1 was on, then two spaces, then the next one was on, then four spaces, then the next one was on (so I figured it'd be just 2 bigger each time). This ended up being right, but also slower than simply recognizing perfect squares.

An algorithm, simply put, is “x + y”. You can expand that with “+”, “*”, “/“, & “-“ and any variable. That is a riddle. To help you, and others, if you disagree with me still... you are more than likely overthinking this. So.. break it down: create “layers” or steps to solving the problem. Instead of seeing, for example, that you have 3 projects and 2 papers do at the end of the semester/school year... You break it down to tasks of each of the projects/papers. You prioritize them... some factors of priority are time and dependency. 1) Time: Meaning some tasks are done over a period of time and can’t be done all at once (e.g. starting at 0 and wanting 100 fortnite wins). 2) Dependency: Meaning some tasks have to happen before others can happen. Or they depend on something to exist before the task itself can exist. (e.g You have to win 1 fortnite game before you can win the second.)
This is not a riddle, it's a math problem.

must be a relief that not a single other one of the 100 relatives is also interested in riddles
Cool! I am glad that I was able to figure this one out! I have one minor gripe, though. The word sequence t 3:12 says "touched only twice", and in my introduction to logic course in college, they taught us that the word "only" has a very specific meaning in formal logic, distinct from how we use it in common language. Since this is a formal logic problem, I feel it bears mentioning that the first locker is, technically, touched "only" twice. "Only" does not mean that something has happened, only that it is not _exceeded._ So, to exclude the first locker, touched only once, we would want to say something like "touched twice _and only_ twice", but then that's 12 words in the clue, which means we need another 44 - 68 lockers, to change the word in locker 81 to "twice", in 100 to "and", for the word in locker 121 to read "only", and the one in the 144th locker to say "twice."

You could fix it by changing the phrase to "touched exactly twice" and sentence length would stay the same.

Sorry, but this is a misunderstanding of how the operator "only" is used in logic. Only is used to describe a necessary condition for some consequent. For example, consider the phrase "Open the locker only if it has been touched twice." Logically, this is equivalent to saying "If the locker has been touched twice, then open it." Under these conditions, if the locker had been touched just one time, it would not be opened. Similarly, using "only" in the manner they did in the video means that its including solely lockers that were touched exactly two times. Consider the use of the term only in a non-numerical context. "For fuel, my car takes only gas." There's really no way to consider how that concept might be "exceeded," and you wouldn't put diesel in that car, would you?

With these kind of riddles you always have to realize something really specific. I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t realize that specific thing. That’s why I don’t like riddles. But these videos are really fun to watch anyway :)

1:42 Ted-ED: How? Me: Why do I always do this to myself?
This is the only Ted-ED riddle I solved on my own.
Haha, I just ran a few iterations in my head and saw the perfect squares pattern, so I found the answer. Though I'd have been happier if I did it the proposed way.
I started charting this out in Excel and quickly noticed the tendency towards square numbers, but I couldn't name the particular reason why - this video did a good job of explaining that.

Isabel Daniel No it doesn't. Because in the real world if you have a lot of money your going to get harassed for it. Doesn't matter if you got it fair and square. Your family is still going to harass you for it. And the family could prove in this case that the whole riddle was made up just for her to get it. Thus making the will void and unfair. Then comes the power of attorney and other stuff. None of this scenario at all makes any sense and honestly the poor girl would just end up getting shot or something.
