There is an unstated assumption here. They both have to know what kind of advice the other one got. Shilpa cannot make the decision described in the video if she does not know that Colin has been told the color. He might, for example, have been told which row the prize is in.

If it's for example the blue triangle, collin knows it's the color blue, but doesnt know any other information. So no matter how many time you ask, he will forever stay silent.

Use the principle of uniqueness/certainty : First, 1 Yellow, 1 square. The silence (=uncertain, = non-unique) ruled out the yellow and the square. Next, 1 circle, 1 blue. The silence (= uncertain, = non-unique) ruled out the circle and the blue. So, only the green triangle left.

If taken literally, the silence option is an indeterminate factor, since without the mediator intervening repeatedly there would be no certain moment at which either would know for certain the other had not gotten it; that is to say, the moment they realise the other has not gotten it and knows they also have not gotten it, both should already know what the answer is, given they each have perfect reasoning and are apparently aware that the other also has perfect reasoning. That said, I think it's obvious what the silence signifies.

Does “...the initial setup is common knowledge” mean that both Shilpa and Colin know that the other was told the value of the opposite characteristic of shape or color from what they themself were told? Or does the setup refer to the shapes and colors of the objects only? This is not explicitly mentioned and is crucial to the ability to solve the problem by Shilpa and Colin, and therefore to our ability to be sure whether the responses by them are given with certainty or not. If the meaning of the quoted phrase does not mean this, the problem as presented is incomplete because it requires us to assume each person knew what characteristic-though not the value-the other was told or even whether their counterpart was told anything. All we know that they know is that they knew what they themself were told privately. There is no mention of anything with which either-much less both-of them could have deduced what, if any, information the other was told, so this would require each of them to make an assumption about what the other did or did not know. Therefore the problem would be unsolvable with certainty by either of them and the information we are given regarding their responses cannot be assumed to be correct and without uncertainty, therefore the problem is unsolvable with certainty by us. So we can make an assumption and solve for the green triangle, or go with only the known information and conclude there is not enough information given to arrive at a solution with certainty. This is the complete solution to this problem as stated. Sloppy statements in a setup for a problem of logic lead to problematic solutions.

I actually got stumped on a simple assumption; silence could mean anything.

1st choice: square and yellow are out. 2nd choice: circle and blue are out. 3rd choice: only one shape is left - the green triangle.

The initial setup is the 5 colored shapes you see on screen and the fact that one knows color while the other knows shape. Each "silence" is a "no", eliminating two places it could be under for both people. Like, say it were yellow, then one who knows what color would've immediately said yes the first time, and the only single color on the board was yellow. Since they both stayed silent, it was eliminated as a possibility. Same goes for the square being a one of a kind shape.

I went through the entire process in my head in about 10 seconds, while having tea and a Choco Pie, without even realising the logic of what I was doing. It was just: "OK, it clearly can't be these two". I only had to think about it at the last step, when the two triangles and a circle were left. And even then I only did it after arriving at the obviously correct answer during the initial 10 seconds, just to double-check myself and ask: "But why?". Funny thing is, even after double-checking myself I still couldn't lay out the entire logical chain. That's heuristical thinking/Kahneman's System 1 for you.

At 0:18 and 0:22, we are told that each of them is *privately* told the shape or color of the object. So how am I to assume that either of them knows what the other one was told?

If they answeared "no" to "Do either of you know where the prize is?", they wouldn't imply they knew the other's ignorance? But they didn't, since they waited until the last question to give the solution, based on the information of this same ignorance, which was discovered only gradually. True, the "Do you know now?" is ambiguous, and could have received a negative answear, if they interpreted the "you" as singular instead of as plural, or if they thought that, even if plural, both of them sould have to know to answear "yes"; but they were probably guided by the first and inequivocal question, therefore they sustained the former understanding.

None of what is said is relevant, from the very first question "do either of you know.." You have all you need to know before that starts. 1 knows color, 1 knows shape. And both know that each has gotten that information. There is only 1 yellow and there is only 1 square. Both need to be discarded and both people would know that they should be discarded, bc none of them can have been given the correct answer. That would destroy the logic puzzle, which would be illogical. So thats not valid. Then they would both be left with green triangle, blue triangle and green circle. Same thing again. It cant be blue, bc there is only 1 blue. It cant be circle, bc there is only one circle. So its green triangle. Which they both would know.

The prize is under the green triangle. The first time they were each silent, Shilpa's silence eliminated the square and Colin's eliminated the yellow circle. The second time they were each silent, Shilpa's silence eliminated the green circle and Colin's eliminated the blue triangle.

Another way of figuring this out is to order the shapes in a line, such that each has one aspect in common with its neighbours. Starting with yellow circle (YC), you get YC-GC-GT-BT-BS. After the first silence, you eliminate the end options, so you get GC-GT-BT. After the second silence, again you eliminate the end options, and you're left with GT.

1. their initial silence confirms it is not the yellow circle or the blue square as these two objects are unique to the rest and if either of them were told square or yellow they would instantly know it is either or. 2.their silence on the second question confirms that Colin has not been told blue as the triangle is the only blue shape left and Shilpa has not been told circle as their is only one circle left. 3. this leaves the green triangle as the answer :) i didnt actually watch the video this is just my method of solving it so i dont know if it is similar to Presh's soultion.

This one is fairly intuitive. When they're both silent after the first question. we know it's not yellow or a square. and when they're both silent after the second question, we know that another iteration is required. and since the green triangle is 2 iterations from both the yellow object and the square object then that must be the answer

I found it super easy barely an inconvenience. It’s straightforward logic. I find it har to think that it was an Oxford University entry question.

Not gonna lie, when it was said that “the initial setup is common knowledge,” that kinda just flew over my head. Had I known that this actually meant that Shilpa was told that Colin knew the color, and Colin was told that Shilpa knew the shape, I probably would’ve been able to deduce the answer better. It wasn’t until I watched through the second step of the solution that I realized they both knew that they had a different piece of information. This would’ve made solving it so much easier.

After reading the comments I think it’s appropriate to leave this here. The only way they both would know, after the host asks the third time, is if they both knew the other had known the missing piece of information. All the necessary clues have been given. “Colin/Shape have been privately told” just tells us they were told the adjective of the prize. This does not mean that the other person would not know what kind of info the first person was given

You should really clarify that they both are told what information the other has. Otherwise, to solve this you need to make the assumption that Shilpa has been informed that Colin knows the shape, and that Colin has been informed that Shilpa knows the colour (you state that they have been privately told, which could easily mean that they haven't been told what the other knows)

@@sean-mo9gf No, they are not, assuming you would give one answer and lock that in. Imagine one of them WOULD'VE known first round (i. e. Colin was told "yellow" or Shilpa was told "square"). Shilpa cannot answer "no" until she knows Colin's answer. Because if Colin's answer is "Yes", then she can deduce that color alone can identify the object, so she knows it's the yellow circle as well. So her definitive answer depends on Colin's answer - if it is "yes", then her answer is "yes" as well. If his answer is "no", then her answer is "no" as well. Colin has the same problem - he doesn't know either what answer to lock in for this round, until he knows if Shilpa says Yes or No. So both their answers are dependent on the other person to answer first. This is a deadlock, and both cannot answer first. This of course only makes sense if you can only say "yes" or "no", and your first answer is also immediately considered your final answer for this round and has to be correct to win the prize.

There are 2 ways to solve this puzzle. One is by deduction, which is probably explained (but i didnt look at that to be honest): None of what is said is relevant, from the very first question "do either of you know.." You have all you need to know before that starts. 1 knows color, 1 knows shape. And both know that each has gotten that information. There is only 1 yellow and there is only 1 square. Both need to be discarded and both people would know that they should be discarded, bc none of them can have been given the correct answer. That would destroy the logic puzzle, which would be illogical. So thats not valid. Then they would both be left with green triangle, blue triangle and green circle. Same thing again. It cant be blue, bc there is only 1 blue. It cant be circle, bc there is only one circle. So its green triangle. Which they both would know. The other is by understanding the puzzle (ill explain) and then quickly going over it visually, excluding. This method is faster, but requires training in understanding the problem given and where the answer must be. So, it requires you to listen carefully to what information is given. at start stage they say 'common knowledge', 5 objects, with 3 variations in color and 3 variations in shape. Both get ONE exclusion criterium. What you should quickly understand from that is that the prize will be under the one that has most common traits, colorwise, and shapewise. That means you can exclude all outlyers! yellow - gone square - gone left is green circle, gren triangle and blue triangle circle - gone blue - gone Green triangle left. Above 6 lines are about 1 second or less of looking at it and discarding. bc you eliminate all outlyers without having to think about it. You can train this sort of logic and understanding very well and will get better and faster at it all the time. Its fun ;]

The puzzle itself was pretty simple, but the "Do you know now" control part of it was rather ambiguous. If they were both equally fast at processing the logic, that part would be redundant. If they were not, there would be no way for them to know if the other's silence is an indication of choice or simply the fact that they didn't finish the "stage" yet, which is what the explanation and the question itself assumes.

Yes!!!

so glad I got this right, I feel better about my chances

It's actually a neat puzzle with no hooks. Took me a minute.

Struggled for ten minutes on this one but I'm so happy I managed to solve it!

Truly

1st try just from the beggining. I used guessing method in wich i compared the propabilities of each shape and color. They obviously will try to trick you so it must be something atleast twice here of atleast 2 same colors. The green triangle is way to go.

Haven't watched the explanation but this is how I did it. Round 1, both get to know that the other doesn't know the answer, so it is not the single occurrence of yellow nor the single occurrence of a square. 3 options left. round 2, both get to know that neither knows the answer again so it can't be the single occurrence of blue nor the single occurrence of a circle so it has to be the green triangle. If one of them knew the answer then you just pick the single occurrence of the relevant info.
