Particularly, his prison is a ceiling function, which always rounds numbers *up.*

What I'm confused about is why 461 had slime between 4 and 6. Take that out, and you get 46 and 1, which still leads to all three digits getting drained. I'd figured out the "primes don't get drained" part, and "slime allows non-prime digits to be isolated in otherwise prime numbers" bit, but the extra slime between 4 and 6 was leading me to believe the slime had some other purpose as well.

@neobullseye1

2 жыл бұрын

My guess is that the vampire also works from left to right. > Check the entire number. Is this a composite number? If so, cool, we're done, drain the entire thing. > If not, isolate the first digit. Is this a composite number? If yes, put a slime line after it and drain it (or if it's followed by one or more zeroes, put a slime line before the first digit that's not a zero). Else, move on. > If not, check the first two digits together. If this is a composite number, put a slime line after it and drain it, and so on. > After a slime line is drawn, treat the next digit in line as if it was the new first digit. > Continue until there are no numbers left to drain, either because all of them are drained or because everything that's left is prime Thus, while 46 is indeed a composite number, 4 is checked first, found out to be a composite number too and is subsequently drained before 46 is even considered. EDIT: My brain was derping when I first wrote this and wrote the wrong terminology. It's fixed now though.

one of the questions asks you to rearrange the slime lines in a number to see if they would still be drained or not. the extra slime is there just to show that the slime could be rearranged in several different ways to drain the victim

5:29 "They round him up " Hahahah nice one of your best jokes

I realized that this is a 2 for 1 riddle video, keep making these great riddles Ted-Ed!

I finally solved a ted riddle by myself after almost watching all of them. Idk if I should be crying or being happy

I have no idea on whats going on, but I'm enjoying the video. Great stuff.

Before I try to solve it, I love how the P.I. is actually a pie (and pi). And the other P.I. is an actual eye (or maybe i for imaginary number. If that's wrong, I haven't been in a math class in a very long time)

Mhm! And both pi(an infinite number) and i(square root of a negative number) are irrational numbers which can’t be affected by the vampire!

I love the stories behind these riddles

I love that the media person was the symbol of 'division'. Great touch!

Quite the oddball riddle this time, but a very good one with an interesting story nonetheless!

That bit about rounding up almost made me actually laugh.

Pi and i nice! Coming up with such good riddles is really hard and I appreciate the efforts.

This is the best Ted Ed riddle I've ever seen.

Wow, I've actually solved a Ted Ed riddle for once.

Great riddle! Would’ve loved to see a full screen of the first riddle though.

I actually solved both of the riddles just by pure luck!! I'm so ridiculously happy!

1:36 But why did it split the 4 and 6 in 461? Why didn't it just split it as 46 and 1 since it can then eat both parts? 🤨 I considered maybe it's working one digit at a time from left to right but that doesn't work either because then 137 could/would have slime between the 3 and 7, and 2099 would be 2, but then have a 0, in addition, 14 would be 1 and 4. I suspect this is just an oversight. 🤔

Great job on the "rounding up"!

Awesome and symbolic! I love relating to things.

All three are lying: Watson and Hudson either have to both be telling the truth or both lying since they’re saying the exact same thing. If they’re both honest, then only one of the three can be lying, leading to a paradox. Thus, both are lying, and because we can’t have exactly two people lie (otherwise, they’d be telling the truth), Sherlock must also be lying.

This video really reminded me of why I was interested in math when I was young.

Prime numbers have exactly two factors. 1 has only one factor (itself) and 0 has an uncountably infinite amount of factors (*all* numbers), so neither is technically considered prime.

When he said "they round him [the vampire] up" I was so numbers-oriented I was trying to figure out how you round the letter V

This was the only one I ever got correct from this channel

Step 1: Confirm the numbers have green eyes. Step 2: Ask the vampire to leave.

So 5 was the villain. The vampire being V, the roman numeral for 5.
