It annoys me sometimes how Rowling retcons her own statements. Deathly Hallows reveals that Ravenclaws have to answer a riddle to access their tower, so no Ravenclaw would have been stopped by Snape's logic puzzle. Come to think of it, the defenses around the Philosopher's Stone were all kinda bad, since three first-years were able to get past all of them.

@@Shadohime Well, Hermione says a lot, not every wizard on Earth. Obviously that's the plainfield of Ravenclaws, who perhaps would have never reached it because the other defense were too though.

"Pythagoras" is definitely a clue here. At first I thought you could only choose 1, 2, 3, and 4, since any other number wouldn't be reachable. However, 5 is also an option, but if you choose it, you'll need to keep MoldeVort in a tight range. You'll need to keep him out of the center 9 squares, as well as the direct edges (A3, C1, C5, E3). You need to omit either 2 or 5, since if you choose both, 2 then 5 will kill you in just two moves. Similarly, 4 means you'll need to keep him out of the center 9 squares so he can move edge to edge. You need to pick at least one number of 4 and 5, since you can only omit one, so the center 9 squares are bad. Omitting 5 would lead to the sequence 2, 3, 4, which forces you to move to C1, C4, then die, or A3, D3, then die. This suggests omitting 2 is the way to go, leaving MoldeVort with choices of 1, 3, 4, and 5. From here out, I'll refer to A1, A5, E1, and E5 as corners, and the remaining non-lethal squares as edges. Everything is symmetrical, so only two distinct starting positions for MoldeVort exist: A1 (corner) and A2 (edge). Imagine the board rotates and mirrors after every move to put MoldeVort in one of those spots if possible. From A1, a pick of 1, 3, or 5 will let you pick an edge. (A2, A4, E4) A pick of 4 will let you pick a corner. (E1) From A2, a pick of 1, 3, or 5 will let you pick a corner. (A1, A5, E5) A pick of 4 will let you pick an edge. (E2) With that, you can trap him for as many moves as needed!

This video: *exists* Me: *HEDWIG’S THEME INTENSIFIES*

1:13 is actually the earliest you can see the wands from the duel

I didnt watch the video yet but i think the answer is: its all about prioritizing spots on the chess board, looking for the chance to move to the corners of the chess board is the safest play, then the next safest play is to move along the edges of the board to maximize the potential distance from one side of the board to the one parallel to it. And obviously pick the lowest distinct whole numbers 1,2, 3, and 4 In summary: prioritize movements that let you get into corners and always try to move along the edges. Pick whole numbers 1,2,3,4. This should keep MoldeVort in the chessboard for as long as the person decides to stop, in which they would move diagonally. I simulated this and no matter what whole number i chose, I never ran into the scenario that MoldeVort got outside the chessboard.

How to escape the chessboard: Step 1: Confirm you have green eyes. Step 2: Leave.

Real solution: Step 1: get the (ultra rare) noether 9000 wand ( it is literally just standing there) Step 2: let moldevort free ( intentionally)

Cool riddle! Not as hard as some of the others though, i actually figured it out pretty fast this time.

What I would do is just wait till my friends come. There’s no time limit so yeah. Either way thank you so much for making these! Cant imagine the effort put into it!

Gregory Blood these are riddles because you need to figure out WHAT maths to do YOURSELF. If it tells you to do an equation, that’s maths. If they tell you to figure out a strategy that involves math s but still involves logic, it could be considered a riddle.

Sorry but the way the rules are stated makes it look the “distance” is measured in number of squares, not actual distance using the side of the square as unit of measure, therefore it’s a little bit of a trap

I fully agree. By that logic, if he can't just move diagonal or vertical...you can just move him forward or backwards on the same number

Using number of squares still makes the answer correct

@@Cheasle2 how is it so? If one disallows diagonal movement than 4+3= 7. If one allows, then the distance is not unique since you can take different paths and using a different number of diagonal moves. So how would it still work on those circusntances?

They gave you the clue that it was Pythagoras’ chessboard and they showed the unit to you using a circle. You just needed to know the math which is the point.

Owowo it’s amazing

I feel like the rules of the puzzle could have been made more clear. It was implied that euclidean distance was used and that the same number can be picked more than once, but it was not obvious from the rules summary. Still, great puzzle as always

The actual way: flip over the chess board, Moldevort's size compared to the board's means it will crush him immediately, if that doesn't work, you have the Noether 9000 literally right next to you in an open box

4:27 in the right bottom corner are the wands from the wizard duel riddle.
