Can you solve the secret assassin society riddle? - Alex Rosenthal

Practice more problem-solving at brilliant.org/TedEd
--
Your agent has infiltrated a life or death poker game in a hidden back room of a grand casino. Your team is on the trail of an elite society of assassins, each of whom carries a signature playing card corresponding to their role- everyone at the table is either an assassin or a potential victim. Can you identify the assassins and save the victims? Alex Rosenthal shows how.
Lesson by Alex Rosenthal, directed by Igor Coric, Artake Studio.

    @@maapauu4282 Yes, but a riddle is also supposed to be fair. There was no indication that the option of a double agent existed. In fact the wording that "Excluding the agent there must be at least one assassin and at least one target" gives the implication that the agent falls under neither category and will simply be collateral damage when the assassins attack. In fact, taking the wording into account it is extremely easy to make as a first assumption that the target was, in fact, an assassin and work from there, only to reach a paradox when you realize that the rest of the people at the table must also be assassins. Yes, it is logic that makes sense in retrospect, but it is also unfair. Had the rules been "There are four people at the table, you know at least one of them is a target and at least one is an assassin, a fifth player comes in that you do not know if they are a target or assassin" then it would be fair. But the fact that it is your agent, and you have a presumption of innocence there gives a bias.

    @@alm2187well from the rules we know that not including the agent, there is at least one assassin and one victim. So among all the 4 orignal players, all of them had a duplicate card. since we know that the robo dealer is fair and can’t swap out cards, so we know that players 1,3, and 4 are assasssins as they share a card from the flop (the 3 shared cards). So that leaves between player 2 and the agent, who both share the king of diamonds. Since players 1,3,4 are assasins that leaves player 2 to be the victim (since there must be one victim that isnt the agent), this means that the duplicate king of diamonds belonging to the agent, is her signature card.

    Before revealing the answer: The shared cards' values always include one King and two Queens. Their suits always include two Spades and one Heart. Since there is only one deck dealt by the robo-dealer, there cannot be duplicate cards, so the shared cards include one King of Spades, one Queen of Spades, and one Queen of Hearts. This means that the Queen of Spades from Player 1 and King of Spades from Player 4 are both signature cards. Also, the King of Diamonds from Player 2 is a signature card because it matches the King of Diamonds from the Agent. There is at least one victim, so Player 3 is the only victim. After reveal: OMG, I didn't even bother to check Player 3's cards. That's an amazing twist though, so I can't even be mad.

    There's actually more info than you need here. After the first two lines about the shared cards, you can count that there are a total of 6 kings and 6 queens at the table. Since an assassin switches out only one card, that alone means that there's 4 assassins, regardless of any card suits. Then, knowing that Player 2 and your Agent both have the King of Diamonds, that means that one of them has to be an assassin, meaning your agent must be an assassin, as they weren't "Invited" to the game.

    @@xelnaga64 Victims don't have signatures. When you have overlapping cards, it is definitive implication that one or the other is an assassin. Since we know that agent isn't a victim (as the op stated, she wasn't invited) she would be the assassin. OPs logic is sound for this particular example but honestly only works on this type of setup due to there not being more victims than one. Since we already have conflicting cards (i.e. we determined at least one victim) and the remaining players equal the number of assassins we can just assume all those players to be assassins. If there were more victims, we would have to look at the individual hands themselves in order to determine the victims from the assassins.

    The agent actually being an assassin is the only logical option; when she entered the room, it already contained at least one victim and one or more assassins. That means that the second player must be the victim because he was present at the start; the agent having a matching card makes her the odd one out, therefore the card that is a duplicate of the one originally in the room was brought from outside the game; therefore an assassin.

    I actually figured it out. I thought out that Player 2 had to be an Assassin because of the shared card. I figured out the other 3 from the same logic (although instead of making a table, I wrote down all 3 possibilities of cards with the suit in subscript) . Then when I noticed that all 4 were assassins, I was like okay tedED doesn't make MISTAKES but maybe the card inages were just there and I overthought?(bad habit), but OMG THAT ENDING!!!!

    Spoiler Alert (Duh!): I genuinely tried to solve the puzzle, and the moment I realized that the only possible solution is where the agent is also an assassin, my pupils expanded considerably. I thought "This can't be right!" And it was so much more satisfying when my deductions came out to be true!

    I think the reason Ted-ed said "a %100 reliable source" is that in every riddle video people always comment "Or our information giving team was liyng." and "The real answer is that everyone is a lier." so I think Ted-ed wanted to stop that.

    ​​@@melvinfranco2142 1. Turns out the partner wasn't an assassin after all but a double agent who gained the leader's trust so she can tell you where his hidden lair is. However, it's in the Infinity Hotel and you only have a few minutes to find the leader and figure out the code to shut down a device that would unleash the fire and ice dragons on the city. With the following clues, figure out what room they are in and the code to stop the dragon invasion. 2. The assassin has kidnapped the green-eyed governor and had taken them to her dictator boss' private island. You enlisted the help of an elf-like creature who accidentally overslept again and they could only give you a few pieces of information before being abducted. The governor is in one of an infinite amount of rooms, but luckily your uncle was the Demon of Reason and taught you everything you know about logic puzzles.

    This was genuinely cool to decipher. I pulled table top sim out to help for fun and started counting the cards thinking player 2 was an assassin. I deciphered the three center cards and used those to find the other three assassins to get four assassins... wait wait wait what? Going back to the rules, I read rule 2 which stated that other than the agent there was at least one victim. But that doesn't make sense unless player 2 is a victim. But if that's the case then... then that means the agent is the assassin!

    I got it wrong because I solved it backwards and jumped to conclusions. The shared card between player two and the agent was the very first thing that I noticed, and so I assumed he was an assassin, and followed the resulting logic to get player four as an assassin as well. I then used the info about the community cards to deduce a third player, and in my haste and excitement I took process of elimination for granted and failed to check the final player. If I had, I would have seen the contradiction and probably gotten the right answer. Oh well, better luck next time.
