The reason why this game doesn't include 57 cards is indeed that the printing company that is used by asmodee (the game company that acquired the rights to Dobble) can only print 55 cards on a print sheet.

The hilarious twist for me : watching the video, this man is amaaaazing. And when he 'found' those 2 smiling houses, then found them again, it was like : so the third card is on a row that links the first two. Nice, he simplified the game. I interrupted the video to have a supper break, wondering whether another 3 cards in his 101 selection would share a "row" ? Row, row,row the cards, merrily row the cards ? Btw: Was the number 101 an random choice, or deliberately chosen : find the link 101? And after supper break : WOW he admits having chosen that one single row. Amongst 10 000 + cards, pick 100, or 1%, and it ends up to be Where is Wally, over and over and over... This learned me another thing: it might very well be fun, searching Wally pictures, to find a second match. Probably not intended, but would we find one?

German maths youtuber Dorfuchs asked the producer of the game about the 2 missing cards and the answer was that only 55 cards fit on a print sheet. In his video at about 7:52, automated subtitles in english available.

Others might call it a parker dobble, but I'll use a term from earlier in the video it's a 'doh'bble.

On your pentagon, there is another set of symbols that (kinda) match. They both have a circle with an arrow in it, and they appear the same except the color is different. My theory is that one was an “up” arrow, and one was a “down” arrow, but that bit of information got lost in the randomization of the rotation of each symbol.

My guess is: - The start was to separate all cards with a single symbol, in this case the clown. This left him with 49 cards to be put into the grid and 8 involving the clown to be left on the outside. - Then he searched for 7 cards with a shared symbol among the 49, putting them into a single row. - Then he searched for 7 cards with a shared symbol among the remaining (42) cards, putting them into another row. - Then he repeated the previous step, chopping the amount of remaining cards down to 35, then 28, afterwards 21, 14, and finally the bottom row of 7. - Then he rearranged all symbols within each row so there was a shared symbol (same match) in the whole column. And by process of mathematics, that should be enough to get the final picture, as the symbols in the diagonals are defined by the rows and columns. So, it probably didn't take *too* long with a system like this, but still, fairly long. Especially with two cards missing, which he only had to make (and add) afterwards.

1. Choose a symbol that links infinity cards eg clown 2. Pick any card out of those 8 clown cards that will represent rows. From now on, the 7 other ’row symbols’ on that card will be common with the symbols linking each row. 3. From remaining 47 cards, arrange 1st row of 7 cards to be all cards containing one of those ‘row symbols’ 4. So the same for other rows At this stage columns don’t match and you’ll see a couple of blank spots due to having 47 card to fill 7x7 5. Pick another clown card to represent columns. 7 other symbols on card aside from clown are ‘column symbols’ 6. Keeping the rows intact reposition cards so that each column has common symbol with column card. At this stage rows and columns all match up nicely but the main top left to bottom right diagonal probably doesn’t. You can switch any row / column around to make a diagonal but you’ll probably find the parallel diagonal doesn’t match. 7. Find the main diagonal infinity card by looking for common symbol between lefthand most 2nd row card and top right card. Now rearrange grid so that main diagonal matches the common symbol between the top left and one of the other symbol on the diagonal infinity card. Don’t rearrange top 2 rows or left column during this. Should be done…! Nb for step 1 don’t choose symbol where there are cards missing eg snowman.

Having done the math before, and having also wondered why there's 55 cards instead of 57, I came to the reasonable conclusion that it's because, since the main way to actually play the game starts with a single card in the center, the remaining 55-1=54 cards can be evenly divided among various numbers of players.

This generalizes in an interesting way. If you have N cards to divide amongst a set of players, what is the "best" number of cards to leave out? You could look at the closest "highly divisible number" less than or equal to N, or maybe the number less than or equal to N with the most factors. You might want to prioritize smaller factors since they should represent a more typical group size. You can model this as a question about the LCM of subsets of {1,...,N}. Definitely some interesting mathematics to explore there.

When I realised that the this game was so hard that the YT algorithm couldn't even spot the *leaf* I decided to un-pause the video.

Paraphrased Matt: 'Just make the two extra cards yourself.' Couldn't I just make them all? Nervous Matt: Shhh

There are dobble/spot-it generators on the internet. Upload a set of icons (use your own ones so there are no copyright issues), get the cards, print them. My wife made some with fruits and vegetables.

I watched this a while back, wanted to generate my own dobble (for reasons which I won't go in to). I recall Matt saying cyclic difference sets are hard to generate, so I decided I would try to write some code for it. It's a simple recursive backtracking algorithm, not much fanciness. Wrote it in python and here it is: def check(nums, target): differences = 0 ind_diffs = set() mod = target * target - target + 1 for n1 in nums: for n2 in nums: diff = n1 - n2 diff = (diff + mod) % mod if diff: differences += 1 ind_diffs.add(diff) return len(ind_diffs) == differences def generate(target, current=None): current = current or [0] mod = target * target - target + 1 options = range(current[-1] + 1, mod) if check(current, target): if len(current) == target: return current for option in options: res = generate(target, current + [option]) if res: return res print(generate(8)) The code is surprisingly fast for small sizes of difference sets, but, I tried generating the length-102 set that you would need to generate Monomatch: Myriad, and it still hasn't finished running (over an hour). This makes sense, as recursive backtracking scales quite poorly (I think O(n!)), so I'm not surprised. In any case, I just wanted to share my findings. Cheers!

What made finding the happy little house, it took me about 2min, is that the contrast/saturation is sightly diffrent. (or at least it steamed to be in the image of you holding them up.)

Regarding the number cards, German math KZreadr Dorfuchs also made a video on this game. In it, he contacted the company to ask about the number of cards, and they answered that it simply had to do with printing, although I don't remember the details.

The game company said the printers only could do 55 (well, or 110 with 53 thrown out). Why that is wasn't solved but it was also the suggestion that it is was Poker sets (or, more broadly, the standard 52 cards plus three anything - joker cards for example).

@@Ulkomaalainen My guess it that it was the 52 cards, two jokers, and that extra card they always include for branding

I wondered about this when my family played over the holidays this past year! Thanks for the explanation!

This was an amazing video ! Great cinematography, really fun and the math is incredible !

Outdone the Parker square with this one. I'm crying with laughter at the happy little houses on all the cards :)

This sounds like an EXCELLENT programming challenge.

Parker Plane... Parker Dobble is just ridiculous! personally I feel that the concept of a Parker plane being an infinite sequence of happy houses is very comforting

Nope, I went on to check who else found the smiling house. EDIT: ...and I unpaused the video and learned the truth :D :D

I literally was wondering about this 2 years ago and still now today because we played this at the lake, I now know. Thx

22:25 Took me about 4 Minutes to spot the smiling house. That would be a long game of Dobble.

You just earned a sub by printing out 10302 unique symbols and 101 happy little houses.

I'm 8 minutes into the video and I already went to upvote it three times. You are so consistently funny and entertaining, really enjoying watching through your old videos!

That's a Parker Square of a game you've printed there 🤔

I will be using that -6 players joke for the rest of my life. I have no idea how I've never heard it before. Thank you for enlightening me

you: double dobble me, an intellectual: quadrobble

It started with "what is the dobble maths?" and became "Here is our Frankenstein dobble." with an implied maniacal laugh.

Honestly I'm proud I spotted the little house in about a minute.

This video was totally hilarious! I seldomly laugh out loud when watching videos, but this one did it. Thanks Matt/Math & Steve! Finally earned yourself my subscription!

lol the "spot the atom myriad" has true Parker Square energy 🤣

Wow that is hilarious Matt. I was amazed how fast you matched the happy little house but that outcome is truly comedic.

I like how Matt frames himself sitting in front of the circle artwork behind him. Santino Parker, patron de numeros calculadores
