1992 Putnam with this problem:
kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/1...
A problem with a similar flavor came up on the 2005 Putnam A6. Give it a try! The solution for that problem, by the way, was written by Calvin Lin, a friend of mine who works at Brilliant. Small world!

    You can further extrapolate the simplification to a one dimensional problem: given the space between two random points on a bounded line, how many solutions will contain the center? Given a first random point, there is always a 1/2 chance that the other random point is on the other side of the midpoint. You can then extrapolate from one to three dimensions by cubing the solution. (1/2)^3 = 1/8

    When I was in college we had a “project” that was due in a week. We were tasked to write a simple program that enabled the user to enter three, 3-coordinate points in space and have the output give you the area of the triangle. I solved it in one day and my answer was given on a single side of a single sheet of paper. The following week, all my classmates turned in these huge packets with dozens of pages in them. The following Monday the professor gave back all the graded papers except for mine. He held up my single sheet answer and told the whole class that their work was shit and that this is how your answer should look. I felt like a million bucks.

    @xxNewEraxx it requires 3 dimensional calculus, so unless you’ve taken advanced calculus of the type you only see in Engjneering or Mathematics majors in college, it isn’t that simple. I’m fact, everyone else in the course started their project with the same failed premise as you and that’s why it took them piles of useless paper and theory to attempt to solve it. With 3D Calculus it has a simple and elegant solution.

    In 1D it would be 2 points "randomly" selected out of 2 points on a line, probability of 1/2 that it is the different point and the connecting line goes through the center. For 4D and above I think it's quite helpful to move away from the visual intuition and describe it formally, but it is still the visual intuition that was the key to the solution.

    This is really good. Too many people tend to think the math is just memorizing a bunch of formulas, when in reality, they are like logic puzzles, almost like sudokus. So for all the people who say that math isn't your thing, maybe memorizing isn't your thing. This is way beyond my league, and yet you explained it so that I don't need any prior knowledge and equations.

It doesn't matter how much of it a person may get wrong, what's important is that one experiences each of the questions within their own categories, gaining wider experience of each category respectively, and then having all the tools combined to connect all the pieces of the puzzle. That's what I just realised anyway thanks to this video👍🏼

    My take on the problem at the end of the video: Each person will have two people adjacent to them. They have a 50% chance of not being cheated off of from each, so you multiply 0.5 by 0.5. That means each student will have a 1/4 chance of not being cheated off of from both. Multiply that by 8, then the expected number would be 2.

    huh, all I got was that for 3 students... let's say student 1 looks at student 2 - If student 2 looks at student 1 (1/2 all cases), then student 3 will never be cheated off (expected number 1) - If student 2 looks at student 3 (1/2 all cases), student 3 looking back at s2 means s1 never cheated off (1/4 all cases) - s3 looking at s1 means everybody spied on. 3/4 chance of having 1 student spied on, expected is 75% for 3 students. Can't have 2 students not spied off, as who can the third student spy on (nobody)

    i got 1.2. first, I drew out all the points in a little octagon and randomly selected a few to circle. I reasoned that you can’t have three people circled in a row, because then the person in the middle isn’t able to spy on anyone. this means that you cannot have 5 people not being spied on, since somewhere on that octagon, there will have to be a group of 3. two circled people in a row is allowed though, meaning you cannot have any more than 4 people not getting spied on. that means that there are five possible cases. One where everyone is being spied on, one where one person is not, one where two people are not, one where three people aren’t, and one where 4 people aren’t being spied on. taking the average of all five of those possibilities gets you 1.2, or basically one. therefore, the expected amount of people not getting cheated on is one.

  • @holo23

    2 is correct. You can express this in mathematical terms by saying X_i is the indicator random variable that the ith student has no one spying on him, with the distribution Bern(1/4). Then E(X) = E(X_1 + X_2 + ... + X_8) = 8E(X_1) by linearity, therefore 8/4 is 2. Anyone that has a little bit of probability theory knowledge can solve this. However, that wouldn't be fun, as the video specifically stated that shifts in perspective is what makes solutions elegant.

    @@wren_. I'm afraid you're doing it wrong... each of the cases that you calculate can appear in different ways, that also need to be calculated if you want to procede this way. For example, if A1...A8 are the eight students, there are 4 ways that exactly 4 students are not spied on (which is the number of ways to choose 2 pairs of adjacent students - the not spied on - and the other 2 pairs of adjacent students - the spied on, i.e. not spied on: (A1, A2, A5, A6), (A2, A3, A6, A7), (A3, A4, A7, A8), (A4, A5, A8, A1)). Note that this was a simple case, because once you choose the spied and not spied students, all the graph is automatically determined, but in the case of 3 not spied on students, you have some freedom in selecting how the students are lookin at the others... Briefly, this way of calculating is insane and definitely not the elegant way suggested by 3b1b! See other comments that prove why 2 is the expected number (each student has a priori probability of 1/4 of not being spied, thus on average you expect 1/4*8=2 students. Try with 3 and 4 students by listing out all the possible 8 and 16 cases respectively and you'll be more convinced!

    I did the problem with a square and it made it way simpler to do it with the circle! It’s really interesting because framing the question in a certain way makes it so that the shape of the object is almost arbitrary! I inscribed the circle in a square. I then divided it into 4 parts by the diagonals. Take an edge. That edge is 2 of the 3 points of your triangle. Now move the last point and note the area under which the middle is covered. That area should be only one of the 4 parts of the square that you cut using the diagonals. Using the same diagonals, you get 4 of these situations because there are 4 edges and each of them gives you 1/4. If you take a fresh square now and make 2 cuts that serve the same purpose as the diagonals in the other case, you’ll find that you have another set of 4 configurations that give you an average area of 1/4 because each set of 2 is mirrored. Since the circle is inscribed and we used areas we can use the same cuts for the circle and it still holds. If you do the same thing with a cube and make 4 cuts. You can do the same thing but you get 1/8. This shit is so cool

    I think it often really helps with 3D problems to simplify to 2D, and 1D and see if you can find a pattern. That gives you an idea about what the answer might be; trying to proof or disproof your idea often gives you new ideas about how to approach the problem. This is especially powerful when you try to solve problems in 4+-dimensional systems.

    That way of thinking will help you in life too. When you get an insight there’s a temptation to rest on the solution, but using your new understanding of the overall pattern if you then try to use that insight to recontextualize the problem thru its lens, you can simplify your approach instead of ending up with a complicated solution. Often it can shift your perspective from seeing many problems with many different solutions that are hard to manage all at once, to seeing that they were all a connected problem with a simpler overall solution, because you stop needing to bandaid symptoms when you can work on the root cause

    @@saaramb3452 you can prepare anti matter using particle accelerator.. but you need at least a gram of that antimatter to harness the energy for building the Dyson sphere around a star...let us a assuming that you want to build one of those several Dyson spheres around our very own sun... Then you need start recruiting at least half of our current world population as the labor force required for this project. Assuming that you are a very good public relations company and have recruited half of the world population for this horundus task, still you need atleast a gram of anti matter to use it as start off to provide you energy for this start up job, but our current particle accelerators at CERN can produce about 100,000 anti protons per day and each of these last an average of 10 seconds.. So a gram means ahh... Let's assume it to be hydrogen's anti protons for calculation purposes 1 mole of anti-Hydrogen is 2 grams that (because hydrogen exists as H2) which means 1 moles of anti-Hydrogen contains (6.023*10^23) anti hydrogens so 1 gram is (3.0115 *10^23) which requires you to prepare a particle accelerator that is as efficient as that it need to create 3.0115 *10^23 anti-protons( I m using the word proton instead of hydrogen because it doesn't matter hydrogen can be called a proton as it has has only one proton and we count the proton and neutron for mass number) so the particle accelerator should work at an efficient 3.0115 *10^17 times the one currently being available. So in plain word's if we have the materials we would have done that long ago, unfortunately we don't have the materials we require. A gram of anti matter costs around 62 trillion dollars which means you need to sell your country for that!

    I took a moment to think about it before watching your solution. I decided to consider it a 3d drawing problem of sequential determinism. So I started P1 at 0% of containing the center and then using (I think I'm remembering my terms correctly here) converging summation theory (such as the Riemann-zeta nice vid you have on that, btw) I flattened the sphere's topography to a line and left the angular data in imaginary dimension-space. After reducing to a line I saw that my question was "How long does my line need to be?" To which it was immediately obvious as "half the total" and it became the basic dependency probability problem where the sum of 3 random values of 1-100 being >= 50. Of course, I am not an undergrad so my answer doesn't really count as worth any points.
