It doesn't work . So let s say you do have 1001 pearls. First you neet to give the pearls to 7 leviathans. That leaves each leviathan with 143 pearls. The each take one for themselves, so that actually leaves each leviathan with 142 pearls, and since they can't devide that to 10 krakens your city get's destroyed. I calculated that there are exactly 917 creatures, and if you divide that by 7 you get 131, take one for each lev. So 130 actually divides by 10. The result is each kraken has 13 pearls, they take one for themselves so that leaves 12 pearls and wouldn't you know that goes perfectly for 12 fish. They got the answer wrong on this one and no one noticed probably bc no one does the actual math lol

@seven_8434

2 жыл бұрын

@@blackscreenscreen6961 the leviathans don't take one pearl, they divide the pearls into 11 piles and take one pile for themselves. So it goes like this: 1001 ÷ 7 = 143, each Leviathan gets 143 pearls, then they divide it into 11 piles, 143 ÷ 11 = 13, and take a single pile for themself, so each Leviathan ends up with 13 pearls. Then the krakens divide their pile into 13 piles, 13 ÷ 13 = 1. So each Leviathan gets 13 pearls and the krakens and mermites get 1 pearl each.

Did it with a spreadsheet, getting all the 6-digit multiples of 1001, then checking whether the string of digits fits the patterns on the chests. Does actually just fit with the correct chest but within that, you find actually more than 600 combinations between 100 000 and 999 999 where the pattern ABC ABC fits. Neatly made animation, I like this :-)

nice solution, but it can be done in another easier way: just count and give 1001 (7*11*13) pearls. This satisfies the division needed, and you keep more pearls for your kingdom that way.

We don't know if the pearls have any other value for their civilization.

so: - these chests were prepared for such occasion, but the ancient kings decide to mix in 4 wrong chests for some reason. - the city has 5 chests of valuable pearls, but let them gathering dust in the basement for thousands of years. If they believe in the prophecy, they should rewrite these numbers ages ago. If they don't believe, then it's just bad management. - for some reason, no pearl has been lost after thousands years of neglection. - no one bothers to call the historians, who should be able to read your old language. - the monsters don't accept any leftover pearl, even though they could use that fund to throw a party for everyone if they don't want unequal payment. "You want to give me more money? How dare you!" on the side note, the Kraken is such a nice boss. They divide the spoil equally with their minions; and because the mer-something have no one else to split the spoil, they actually receive the same pay as their lord. Either the mer-something have a good trade union, or someone had read Das Kapital in his free time.

I mean it really isn’t much to do with Marxist economic analysis, read The Prince. Machiavelli describes the qualities a good prince should have and how he should pay his men. Two other quick points, Adam smith advised paying your workers twice their need so that they may raise a family so that class of worker does not die out and, Marx never really advocated for totally equal pay. With the seizure of the means of production there is still the division of labour and the natural disparities that come with those smaller hierarchies the goal being to lessen them so no one individual had more power than the rest to be able to exploit the others. This typically improves the social cohesion of the workers and results in increases in productivity and maintaining a nearly similar pay roll.

Finally, after all this time, a problem that I could solve. Let me tell you mortals, it feels legendary

i got this one! I reasoned that to divide chests with that precision, they must be in bits of the lcm of those piles (being 7*11*13), which equated to 1001. Any 6 digit number which is a multiple of 1001 would be of the form abcabc, meaning only one chests could be the answer (making the assumption the number system on the chests are base 10).

@@Randomuser-dl5mx Small correction. You technically don't want to find the LCM here because the number needs to be simultaneously divisible by all three numbers, so just the product of the numbers. Now, since all the factors for the number are prime, that is what you do in essence. But you can't divide 24 by 3 then 8, then 6, right? (Just for the sake of example.)

Only the symbols for the digits are said to have changed. It's safe to assume that it continued using the same base for the past 1000 years: a highly likely scenario given that the same applies to many cultures of humans. And it might be possible to decode the ancient numeral system fully, but it would take too much time given that there are a bunch of very powerful and impatient sea creatures right outside the city.

I actually guessed right, but wasn't sure because I got mostly through the logic. I got as far as multiplying the three primes, and then multiplying them by 100 to get a six digit number. I saw that that resulted in 100,100; and only one box had a double-matching pattern so I picked it. But, I hadn't gone far enough to realize it was right, I just eliminated the others as not possible and wasn't sure "why" that last one was right without the explanation.
